GREEK WILL FILL "SHOES" OF TURK

Prof. Andreade, Athens, Says Countrymen Cover Region Down to Dardanelles. WOULD BE BARTO GERMANS Hellenic Preponderance in Constantinople and Adrianople Basis for Claim—Principle ot» Nationality Hitherto Ignored. Athens. —If the Turk is to leave Europe, as the entente allies have required in their war terms, then there is a well defined belief in the Balkans that two results will occur of high importance to Greece and all Europe: ~ 1. That the Greek inevitably will succeed the Turk throughout Thrace and in the whole region down to the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. 2. That • a new zone of territory friendly to the entente will thus be stretched horizontally straight across the Balkans as a barrier to ths German dream of making the Balkans a German high road to the Orient. J Professor Andreade of the University of Athens, one of the foremost authorities on international affairs relating to the Balkans, holds this view, and in the course of a talk he explained how these two results would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment, by reason of the principle of nationalities now accepted by the entente allies as a basis for territorial readjustment. Points to Greek Predominance. Professor Andreade, who is a specialist on the extent cf Greek’citizenship beyond the Greek frontiers —in Macedonia and the other Balkans, in Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor —pointed out the great predominance of the (xreeks in the regions to be evacuated by the Turks if the/ are to leave Euro P®The whole vilayet, or province. of Adrianople, extending from the Balkans down to Constantinople, he declared, is as much Greek as it is Turk and with the Turks out it is practically all Greek. “Even Constantinople,’’ he said, “is a Greek city—the largest of - Greek. cities —with a population of '350,000 Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent of Greek citizenship in all this section down to the straits, which will have to be considered, on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe. -“That is why I say,” added Professor Andreade, “that if the Turk is to withdraw, the principle of nationality, which recognizes the racial condlMon of a community, will lead to the recognition of Greek paramount influence in that section. Thus far, the principle of nationality has been ignored and violated in all Balkan settlements, and force has prevailed. Austria and pulgaria have not occupied any of the territory annexed in recent years by reason that their race or nationality prevailed in these sections, but solely by reason of their military force. That has been the cause of the endless wars in the Balkans, for people are never satisfied when their race is Ignored and they are attached to a foreign conqueror by force.” Two Barriers to Germany. Professor Andreade, referring to the Balkan map, showed how the readjustment of Balkan boundaries, based on nationalities, would interpose two barriers to Germanic expansion toward Asia Minor and the Orlent—one. the Greek zone across Thrace, and another, the Serb-Roumanian link of territory which lies as a dam between Hungary and Bulgaria. This SerbRoumanian link is only fifty miles

across, but with Rouinania getting the Banat region, to which Professor Andreade says she is entitled by the principle of nationality, this entente link will be 150 miles across. “And thus entente Europe can accomplish what it chiefly seeks in the Balkans,” said Professor Andreade, “friendly entente zones intercepting the natural route of Germanic expansion toward the Orient, and this can be* accomplished, not by forces but by the principle of nationality now accepted by the entente powers.”

UNCLE SAM BUILDING BIG NAVAL SANITARIUM

Los Animas, Colo. Uncle Sam’s largest recuperation camp fob the sick and wounded sailors of the United States navywill be at Fort Lyons, near here, when new additions now under construction are completed. At present the sanitarium accommodates 250 patients, but work is being rapidly pushed on the construction olj buildings that will make It possible to care for between 5,000 and 6,000 marines and sailors who are Incapacitated through tuberculosis and other diseases. The cost of the work will be about $2,000,000. Dr. F. H. Ames, who is in charge of the Fort Lyons sanitarium, says that the 4,000-foot altitude of the site makes it an ideal location for the care of those afflicted with the great white plague, and declares the government plans to make the camp the finest of its kind in the world.

SCENE OF ROMANCE

Gatchina Palace Built By Catherine 11. for Gregory Orloff. Former Grand Duke Michael and Paul Alexandrovitch Held There After Discovery of Counter Revolt. Gatchina, where the former Russian Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch and Paul Alexandrovitch were held iolldwlhgthedlscbverycffa’cbutiTeF revolutionary plo v t, is described in the war geography bulletin, issued by the National Geographic society, as follows: “Built upon flat, marshy lands on the shores of two small lakes—the White and the Black—the attractive town of Gatchina lies, 28 miles south of Petrograd. Its resident population numbers between 15,000 and 18,000, but in peace times it is a popular summer resort for the wealthy classes of thecapitad. ————- — “Gatchina’s only claim to Industrial distinction is a porcelain factory, but its ‘place in the sun’ of history is assured by the magnificent imperial palace with its 600 rooms, surrounded by a beautiful park, a quarter of a mile from the Baltic railroad station of the town. “Many Americans have visited this palace, which under the old regime was open to visitors during the absence of the dowager empress, who made it her residence. “The erection of the palace, which dates from 1770, recalls one of the most dramatic periods in the history of any European royal family. It was built by Catherine 11. as a present to Gregory Orloff, the young artillery officer who caught the fancy of the future famous empress while she was still merely the consort of the half Imbecile Peter HL It was Gregory Orloff, aided by his two brothers, who effected the sensational coup d’etat pt July, 1762, in which Peter was seized and spirited away *to the chateau of Ropsha, where he was eventually murdered. Thus Catherine IL acquired supreme power upon the throne. “The grateful and infatuated Catherine rewarded Orloff not only with the palace of Gatchina, but with the title of count, a commission as adju-tant-general. then -director-general and finally general-in-chief of. the Russian forces. He might even have succeeded in marrying the great stateswoman had it not been for the interference of Panin, the governor and tutor of Paul, Catherine’s son. “When he,ascended the throne upon the death of his mother, Paul chose the Gatchina palace as his favorite summer residence and bestowed upon the town municipal rights in 1797. “The palace is a three-storied structure with one-story wings connected with the main building by long colonnades. It contains a famous art gallery, a theater and" three throne rooms. “Gregory Orloff did not bring his days to a close in Gatchina. Upon his return to the capital after an unsuccessful diplomatic mission he found a new favorite installed in the winter palace. Subsequently he lost his mind and died in Moscow. His brother, Alexis, the actual slayer of Peter 111., became a horse breeder near Moscow after winning honors in the war against the Turks. He left an immense estate valued at 5,000-000 rubles and 30,000 serfs.”

A Ramsay Memorial.

Mr. Asquith' has been selected as president of a committee of University College to arrange for a memorial to the late Sir William Ramsey. The memorial is to be not merely national, but international; and this is as It should be, for Sir William Ramsay was an international in more than one sense. His gifts were not only scientific, but covered a wide field of knowledge. He was, for instance, master of several languages, although he made light of the accomplishment# When he went to Stockholm in 1904 to receive the Nobel prize he surprised many of the scholars he met by his ability to speak any language that any one else happened to be speaking. "There’s nothing in it,” he said; “any waiter can do It.” This faculty placed him In touch with the scientific genius of the world, and contributed much to his success. —Westminster Gazette.

ADD MARBLES TO CURRICULUM

"Popular Springtime Paatime for Boys to Be Taken on by University of California. “Fen dubs, there;” - “Knuckle down, now Prexy!” “Say, Prof, how many taws win you swap for my moss agate?” These are the spestyxg terms ,n the vernacular which soon may be heard on the campus of the University of California, according to the San Francisco Bulletin. The spectacle of a group of bearded dignified educators squatting down on their...“hunkers,”_ while one of their number commands their attention by the exhibition of his skill, may be a common- one. The new course in applied science to be included In the curriculum embraces the ancient problem of the Irresistible force and the Immovable body. It has to do with the tendency of one spherical objecttolmpart motion by coming in violent contact with another spherical object previously in a state of Inertia, when the first object is given a certain velocity and momentum. ~ This is done by an Intricate method of expulsion, in which the sphere, placed in juxtaposition of the first and second joint of the thumb, is propelled through space by a dexterous fillip of the member, which previously had been held in a condition of suppressed energy by means of interlocking two or more digits. In other words, the game of marbles is to be part of the university course. The ancient and honorable pastime, by which the vernal season of the calendar is heralded by the small boy, has been included in the scheme of, exercise In the gymnasium, according to the announcement of ,F. L. Kleeberger, physical director. _. Not only the undergraduates, but the instructors and professors of the university intend to take a course. Degrees possibly will be awarded the most skillful. It is held that the activity necessary to play marbles will be beneficial to a high measure.

Colonel Bids Newsy Good-By.

He was one of those solitary-looking men. According to the eagle device on his shoulders, he was a colonel in the United States army. He issued forth from a lunchroom on lower Fifteenth street, and a newsboy not over twelve, stepped up to him with a paper. He seemed to be one of the kid’s steady customers. The unsmiling face of this man whc seemed alone in the world lighted, up as he saw the boy. “Good-by, old top,” he said to the youngster, as he took the paper, “I won’t see you any more.” “Are you going to war?” asked the boy, with an anxious note in his voice. “Yeh; in a day or two now. Good-by, old fellow.” The kid looked at him a minute in silence, and said slowly: “Good-by 1” The officer stuck the paper under his arm and turned up Fifteenth street, with a strange mistiness in his eyes. One got the idea that there wasn’t anybody else that the officer wanted to bid farewell. —Exchange.

Heavy Work Done With Steel.

British and French alike use the heavy grenade for defensive work, where the thrower is sheltered by a trench or shell hole. But when the word comes to “go over” the English give little thought to the grenade. The bombardiers make a few long range throws as the force approaches the other trench, but once in the Briton does his work with the iron. The mop. pers-up who follow carry grenades for their work, while their comrades tear across country for the next trench. This appears to be one of the essential differences in French and English grenade practice which the Americans will be called on to decide between. At present the opinion of the American line officers seems to lean to the English idea that the light. offensive grenade is of scant worth. No decision will be reached until both plans have been subjected to trial.

Give Cheerfulness a Chance.

Cheerfulness is a much rarer quality than is generally supposed, especially among the rich. It was not common even before we learned that, in spite of Browning though God may be In his heaven, nevertheless, all is wrong in the world. If “most men lead lives of quiet desperation,” as Thoreau says they do, it is, I suspect, because they will nf-t allow cheerfulness to break In upcm them when It win. A good disposition 1S worth a fortune. Give cheerfulness a chance and let the professed philosopher go hang.—A. Edward Newton, in the Atlantic.

MOODS OF WARTIME

How the Psalmist Voices Comfort, Cheer, x Strength and Courage to Human Heart “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.” i —Ps. 4:22. • It is one of the marks of the in* splratlon of the Psalms that we turn quite naturally to their splendid phrases to find expression for our deepest thoughts. When our hearts are stirred, the right words do not always come to us. But we find them In the Psalter. And, if I mistake not, there is tn the words of the fifty-fifth Psalm. a quite extraordinary appropriateness to our thoughts in these great days of alternate hope and fear, and anger and grief, and pride and patience, ft is a Psalm for time of war; it is war that the Psalmist had in his thoughts. And it seems to express the varying moods which we observe in our neighbors, and of which we are half conscious in ourselves, as we try to keep our mental sanity, our Christian faith. The Psalm begins and ends with prayer, for it is the outpouring of his heart’s desires by a godly man; but he passes through various phases of thought as he prays—some worthy of the highest Christian saintliness —some not so worthy, for he had the weaknesses common to our poor humanity. “Hear my prayer.” So he begins. It is the Inevitable petition of an unquiet soul. “Hear my prayer.” But the singer is afraid, for the danger is near. “The ungodly cometh on so fast; they are minded to do some mischief, so maliciously are they set against me.” He is fainthearted, he doubts the ultimate issue. “My heart is disquieted within me—fearfulness and j trembling are common upon me.” And he would fain escape from the horror and misery of it all. “Oh, for the wings of a dove, for then would I flee away and be at rest. I would get me away far off . . .” to the wilderness, If need be. "I would make haste to escape.” “Oh, for the wings of a dove!” The words, when set to the luscious music of Mendelssohn, charm the ear, and they find a response In that desire for peace and rest which is the emotion of every tender and kindly heart, "Oh, for the wings of a dove !” Yet that is not the Christian attitude to the stern realities of life. It is a mood through which our thoughts may pass. But it is an unworthy mood. It is not the mood of faith, and another Psalm tells us so. “In the Lord I put my trust; how say ye then to my soul that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?” ——'——7- -~ And so we pass on to the best thought of all—the thought which is the true key to the brave old Psalmist’s courage and hope. With it he begins—“ Hear my prayer,” for that is the prayer of faith as well as the prayer of fearfulness. To it he passes nn—“Aw for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. In the evening and morning and at noonday will I pray, and that instantly; and he shall hear my voice.” For this is the mood of prayer, of the consecration of all high endeavor, of the hallowing of pain. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.” Here is no counsel for a weakling or a craven,'but of a brave man who has faced the worst. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” It does not mean that we shall leave the part of danger to others, and rest in security the while, craven-hearted. It is not to sing, “Oh, for the brings of a dove, that there may be a way of escape.” Nor does it mean that, as we fight, we curse the while. To fight without cur sing in the cause of righteousness is to follow in the steps of the great Captain of the Christian soul. And so it means that we shall best fortify our spirits by prayer. And for us all, even while our hearts leap as we read of the deeds done by those of our own blood and speech—for us all, the Psalmist’s message is, “Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” This is his final mood; this is the issue of his thought. Cast thy burden here. Thus only can we stay the throbbing of our pulse and anchor our souls upon a rock. The way may be long before we reach the end of the journey. It must be a way of pain. But the way of the Cross is the way of light And this isthe way of the great crusade.— By the Archbishop of Dublin.

HER HANDS MADE BEAUTIFUL

An Old Legend That Reveals That the True Source of Beauty Is In the Heart. There is an old legend concerning three young women, who disputed as to who had the most beautiful hands. One dipped her hands Into the pure running stream, another picked berries until her fingers were pink, a third gathered roses until her hands were made sweet by their fragrance. An aged woman, careworn and decrepit, leaning upon her staff, came, asking a gift, but all alike refused her. A fourth young woman, making no claims to beauty, ministered to her needs. The aged woman then said: “It Is not the hand that Is dipped la the brook, fed wfflT berries, nor the hand garlanded or perfumed with roses/that is most beautiful, but the hand that giveth to the poor.” As she thus spoke, her mask fell off, her staff was cast aside, her wrinkles vanished, and she stood before them, an angel of God. ... It matters not whether the hand gives in money, or in kindly acts; in sojne cases, money would be quite useless, while kindness is
