The Great Powers cannot overlook the fact that a people that has tasted victory will not let itself be driven back again within its former limits. Turkey has lost to-day not only Kirk Kilisseh and Kumanovo, but Macedonia also." Luitpold Wolkenstein drank his coffee, but the flavour had somehow gone out of it.
