Excerpt from Poland, the Unknown

Prussia to absorb in turn Westphalia, Schleswig Holstein, Hanover, Austrian Silesia, and Alsace Lorraine. A just Nemesis, whatever other penalty it inflicted on the Robber Nation, was bound to insist on the disgorgement of her Polish Spoil. The historic interest of the Polish question lies in the fact that Prussia throve on Poland's downfall. The practical interest of the Polish question to-day lies in the fact that in a strong Poland, restored to her full heritage - from the Baltic to the Euxine - lies one of the greatest securities to the cause of Civilization' A strong Poland is Europe's advanced post against Eastern aggres sion; she is needed to do again, if necessary, what her hero, John Sobieski, did in his day' A strong Poland, with other neighbouring States composed of free nations, is an effective barrier to plans of the mittel-europa order and to intrigues having Egypt and India for their objective.
