...means of enforcing their demand that full publicity be given to all negotiations on the Shantung question between the Pekin and Tokio governments, the recent strike of students in 14 provinces of China may not have proved a brilliant success. As evidence of the militant spirit of young China the walk-out of students is nevertheless tremendously significant. The Chinese students reached their decision to strike through motives of purest patriotism. They feared--whether rightly or not makes no difference that the Pekin Government was disposed to betray the national interests of China unless all its dealings with Japan were...

The times are serious; and we should profit by history. There is little cause for our terrified excitement and alarm. The country should cool down...
...outset I recognize that D-Annunzio is a poet and a soldier of more than ordinary ability, whose pen was fired by the late war. His spirit after the disaster of Caporetto, it is admitted, was admirable and buoyant. But with that, everything in his defence has been said; and, taken by and large, that is not much, for any man who failed to find spiritual inspiration in the late war cannot justify his existence on this earth...
