Those of us who have been watching political events from the prophetical standpoint, have seen during the last thirty years the steady drying up of that overflowing river which once flooded Europe. Turkey’s fate we knew to be certain, but there were fluctuations so we had to be patient. Two years ago when writing the Foreword and notes to the first reprint of this little book, I drew attention to the “amazing collapse” of Turkey’s power “during the last few months.” Half a year later it seemed as if only a thread of littoral would be left to Turkey in Europe; then came a certain apparent return of vigour as when the ebbing tide sends back a wave that seems to claim once more part of the dominion it had lost; just in the same way Turkey regained some of the territory wrested from it during the Balkan War, and we who were watching wondered for how long this would be.
