Ter IFS own safety and interests, all the
governments of Europe are feeling each

combination which would safeguard il

Even the former Allies are edging
around each other, TO see just how much

France, for instance. is apparently
succeeding in lining up Turkey, that is,
the Turkish Nationalisis, the real power

England are so vitality interested. Eng

money on Greece. now under the Pro-

counts upon Warsaw for support in case

on the contrary, seems to incline more
toward Germany and against the Poles.

Flags and pennants of the college
