"Dispatches from London indicate that Turkey is the first danger point. The Bolshevik occupation of Transcaspasia creates the probablility of the passing of the Caucasus, and a junction with Mustapha Kemel Pasha, head of the Turkish nationalists, including a union of bolshevism and Mohammedanism. This junction made, Mesopotamia is threatened and the whole strong of Moslem British possessions threatened."

"The following is the text to President Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcock, outlining his beliefs in regard to treaty reservations:
"My dear Senator Hitchcock--I understand that one or two of your colleagues do me the honor of desiring to know what my views are with reference to Article X of the League of Nations and the effect upon the league of the adoption of certain proposed reservations to that article. I welcome the opportunity to throw any light I can upon a subject which has become so singularly beclouded by misapprehensions and misinterpretations of every kind."
