Notes:
"The spectacle of three premiers representing major nations in Europe playing the role of suppliant to Eleutherios Venizelos, of Greece, is one of the few definite pictures that have emerged from the cloud of conferences held since the world convention of Paris.
"A dispatch from London declares that 'experience has shown that the Greeks are no match for the Turks as fighters,' but this verdict, however familiar and stereotyped, is quite at variance with the facts of the two Balkan wars of 1913....
"Naturally [Venizelos] will drive the best bargain he can in the present emergency, but should his plan succeed, where others have failed, in restoring order in the dimembered Turkish empire, even the unpalatableness of some of his terms may have to be condoned."
