You will see by this that the Treaty was defeated by only three votes.

When this Treaty was signed at Washington in January, everybody rejoiced.
The United States was praised by all Europe for being the first nation to
take such an important step in the advancement of peace.

The leading papers declare that, in spite of the rejection of the Treaty
by the Senate, the American people are still in favor of it; and that, had
the matter been given to the people to decide, the result would have been
different.

The war in the East is practically over.

Report says the Greeks have appealed to Europe for help, and are now
willing to withdraw from Crete.

It was felt from the first that the struggle between Greece and Turkey
would be an unequal one, but the well-known courage of the Greeks, and
the righteousness of their cause, made people hope that success would
crown their efforts.

Such has not been the case.

Disaster has followed disaster. At the critical moment the Greeks always
appear to have lost faith in their leaders, and to have behaved in a
disorderly and insubordinate manner.
