Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Investors' Review, Vol. 40: July 7 to Dec. 29, 1917 (Being Vol. L in Consecutive Series) And Greece, too, is pulling out of the slough into which Constantine and his Teut'ons had plunged it. Mr. Venizelos has only had to appear in Athens to cow sedition and to bring the country round to his side. No harsh measures have been meted out to the betrayers of Greece, but they have been deprived of all power to do evil, and some among their leaders will, we hope, be compelled to atone in an exemplary fashion for their crimes. But Greece is now united, free, and able to give, if not a large, at any rate a loyal support to, Serbia. 'this means many things which we have no space now to indicate or dwell upon; but one thing 15 obvious the return of Greece to her true allegiance, alike to her own destinies and to the duty laid upon the Allies who have helped her so often in the past - ii too often-less efl'iciently than cross-currents of other interests allowed -will seal the fate of Bulgaria. That misguided country must be in a state of exhaustion such as the worst districts of Germany could even to-day hardly parallel; but the language of its King and his Press clique is almost as insolently aggressive as ever. We take this, too, as an indication of fear, as proof that the end is not far off, and no great amount of fighting in the Balkans should be now necessary to reach it. With Rumania on the north and the Allies on the south, basing their operations there on a Greece solidly loyal, what can Bul aria do? Neither men nor money can now come to her aid from either of the Central Em pires. She may still play trapped wolf, hunger-mad, but might do better to make her peace with the Allies pressing in upon her, if they will let her, at the earliest possible moment; lest these Allies should find it ex pedient to send the Bulgar out of Europe along with' his partner in trachery, the Turk, so that the land may be clear for occupation by a manly and civilised race.
