That's pretty big odds against eleven." "Beggin' your pardon, sir," said Barker, who was the oldest man of the crew, "but there's some of our mates over there that wouldn't never fight on the side of that Bug-eye meanin' no disrespect to the mate, sir. Whitlock wouldn't for one, nor Gunther, nor Trent. I'd lay to that, sir." "No, sir," put in Thompson; "an' Ashley wouldn't neither.
It was a fortunate election for the Belgians. Also it meant many things, most of them interesting, for the sympathetic Minister. When the American expatriates in Belgium who wished to leave after the war began, applied to Minister Whitlock for help to become repatriates, he called to his assistance certain American engineers and business men then resident in Brussels, notably Messrs.
If what they said were true, there was still no cause for killing the unfortunate woman in their power, for she was not accused at any time of having been a spy. But they had planned to try her for her life, and Mr. Whitlock soon guessed this, in spite of the fact that the Germans kept their preparations from him so far as possible.

Pittsburg can't be saved by an aristocracy of the better element, she can be saved only by democracy with a very little "d."
