Excerpt from Russia, the Balkans and the Dardanelles In this book I try to record some battle pictures in Poland. I also endeavour to give a general impression of the military and political situation in the Balkans. Finally I write of what I have seen in the Dardanelles. What is here written about Poland I pray may stir the chord of sympathy in my reader for that saddened nation. In Belgium I thought I had seen a people draining the very dregs of the cup of misery. I could not conceive a more bitter potion. But the torment of Belgium does not surpass the torture of Poland. Here is a nation suffering the pangs of crucifixion. The Fates pause before writing the destiny of the Balkans. May these peoples receive the light. It well may be that the foredoom of Europe is in the keeping of these states. "Does England know the glory of her sons?" This question has come to me many times since I have returned from the Dardanelles.
