marched vsliantly to an unequal war. She
returned conquered, and today she sits on
her acropolis. with bowed head and hair
dishevelled. and her wall of defeat is heard
in the streets and on meadow and noun
tain, wall like Rachel of Old mourning
for her little ones. She was conquered be-
cause her limited numbers were unable to
cope with the proverbial legions of Turkey
She advanced her standard in the hope
that other nations might come to her aid
but her nope was unrea!iZed, her attempts
were unsuccessful She evoked the sym
pathy of all civilized peoples, but failed to
elicit the support of one"
