within a few days after our de-
parture some OF Us began TO realize
that the whole affair was a bold piece
Of irresponsible adventure, conceived
skilfully. but executed clumsily. As a
means FOR propaganda the expedition
has proved a dismal failure. There
were three great blunders.
"ln the first place, the expedition was
made futile By the connection of one Of
the bellgercnt countries As its head
and dominant force; in the second
place. the members were practically
forced in a humliating way to sign q
pledge declaring their opposition TO
President Wilson's policy Of national
defence, and thirdly, the leaders never
took into consideration the conditions
and the frame Of mind OF the neutral
countries they were about TO invade"
