$1,-60,000,000, depending upon the amount of the crop. The United States treasury has no such amount avail able to meet a guarantee of that kind, but the fund must evidently be provided in some nay. The sooner this matter Is adjusted the better. The Chicago Board of Trade, in a recent petition to the United States Attorney-General, asked the very pertinent question: "Why should flour sell at $12 a barrel with more wheat and flour in Hie United States than
ever before? Under the law of supply and demand the j price would not be more than $6 a barrel.'". Simila; questions conccin.ns the prices of oilier foodstuffs ha'.e! been asked but never satisfactorily answered.

The Hellenism although under a barbarous yoke for some five centuries did not fail to preserve the Christian creed, the Greek civilization and the vigorous Greek spirit. I believe that the civilization of the
' Greeks was so perfect that as far as it
j is reached, men were more cultivated j in tiie strict sense than eer have been ! since. 1
We have, diecovered new forces of nature, have mace new inventions but have changed in no way the method of thinking laid down by the Greek. None of us has ever replaced Arietotle'a logic or Kuclid's geometry or bettered
j tlie analysis of the Greek Grammar. Nothing aupcrsedos Homer, Socrates, or j the works of Plato and Demosthenes, j All of which were current in the. Greek j world before the rise, of Christianity. J The. Greeks ht!d supremacy in science as well ae in other departments j of knowledge. The Greeks did not discover the power of heat of electricity : but they carried out ia mechanical j works projects that no modern "builder j with all bis vaunted control of nature ; can accomplish. Greek thought has jbeen the greatest and cleanest that the i world has yet experienced, j Second.

speak at once and outline the wishes of the Hellenes the best that T can without any further preliminary preamble. I wibh to di3cuss my subject from three points of view. First. What the
Greeks have done towards civilisation
much of the credit has been given to Serbia rather than Greece to whom the credit rightfully belongs. Bulgaria's surrender meant also the downfall of Turkey and Austria. Thus the threatened destruction of liberty, humanity honor and religion was stopped by the collapse of Bulgaria. The French general who led the troops against the Bulgarian Army admitted that the victory was made possible by the valiant work of the Greeks. Refugees from Asia Minor and Isles of the Aegean Sea were assisting in the great war, also. There were 60,000 on the Balkan front. 40,000 on the Western front, 25,f"0 with the American army. About 60,000 of the Greeks in America were serving under the Stars and Stripes. This is about 25 per cent of the total Greek element of the United States.

ami I shall endeavor to show that Hellenism is older than that. It begins from the moment that Athens ceased to be the. dominant renter of Greece in politic"! as well as in letters. Tn 404 Tt. C.

countries found the expatriated Greeks of a mercenary nature and endeavored to make them friends and reconcile them to their ideas of state.' Xenophon became a, friend of Cytus. King of Per3i?f.. He stands out clearly
at this momentous epoch, and the main features of his life and his teaching
represent the transition from Hellas to ! Bonds and war saving stamps.
Third. Gentlemen. I have briefly outlined the efforts and the tremendous sacrifices that the Greeks offered for the survival of democracy, civilization, etc. now I shall show you that what the Greeks demand is not an ambition of a territorial expansion of Greece but is the fullfllment of the will of the peoples that have been under the most tyranical and most uncivilized government that Europe has in the 20th century. The Greeks of today demand that "let the people decide about their own government and their own freedom," and this in agreemet with President Wilson's "fourteen points." The desire and wish of the enslaved Greeks of Turkey is to unite with motherland Greece. The population of Constantinople. Asia Minor. Thrace, Isles of the Aegean Sea and Epirus is dominantly Greek as shown by the following figures: In Asia Minor there are 1.300.000 Greeks. 2.280 Greek schools. 6,141 Greek teachers ;n7,0'0 Greek students 5,000 Greek churches. 2.7J0 Greek prle3ts In the Islands of the Aegean Sea thc-e are about 300.000 Greeks. ISO Greek schools. 20 Greek teachers. 20.000 Greek students Tn Thrace there are 800.000 Greeks. fiSO Greek schools. 325 Greek teachers. 4S.000 Greek students J20 Greek churches. 4S0 Greek priests. 70 percent of the total population of Constantinople is Greek element. 162 Greek schools 940 Greek teachers. 50.000 Greek students 15S Greek churches. 310 Greek priests. Tn Epirus there are 221.434 Greeks. 273 Greek schools. 4 30 Greek teachers. 12.900 Greek students 324 Greek churches. 20 Greek priests, "t apparently then, gentlemen, from my discourse that the rights of the unredeemed Hellenism- now in Thrace.
The crushing or the colossal army or the barbarous Tersia at the battle of Marathon by the Greek3 saved the libertv and civ ilizatlou for the entire
world. The Greeks proved to be the only civilizing factor in th9 East that stood with boundless sacrifices as a barrier
Tn 1463 Constantinople fell before
overwhelmine: hordes of the barbarous find uncivilised Turks, a tyrannical people to whom brotherhood magnanimity and civilization were unknown. Constantinople was built by Megarlan colonists abiut seven centuries B. C. under Ryzas and was called Bjzantj-um
peror from wl-vm it was given the name Constantinople. This Metropolis was the rnpitol of the Greek Empire. ' Since- the fall of Constantinople the Turks were d-Miif? their best, by a systematic and prcpaeaudic way, to destroy ami exterminate the Hellenic element in Asia Minor Thrace and Macedonia and also I?! of the Aegean Sea. Women and ch Idren under tho tyran-
Asla Minor, Islands of the Aegean Sep Macedonia and Epeirus. are undemabia from the historical, theological, political, economical, and social standpoint.-. These phases date back to centuries before Christ. In my opinion every Greek has sacred duty and an extreme regpor.s; bility not only towards his own cou" trynien and ancestors but also towarnhumanity and mankind to stand up and defend by everj legitimate moans th undeniable rights of his country an'i countrymen. The Greek race requests to liber'.those territories in which the Ktlltnuir appeared to be the sole civilizing fac-.or in the East where It was submitted ;nto a countless sacrifice and wheye 1 attained in spite of the barbarous in . a. slons the perfection of fine arts, htera ture. philosophy and hus cultivated and highly developed the love and the ad miration of the beautiful, the ideal and the high principles of morality. The Greek race requests the liber tion of the unredeemed Hellenism wh is in a majority of the living peoples o Thrace. Constantinople. Afcia Minor, Islands of the Aeglan Sea, North Epei.-.i and Macedonia. The Greeks of above named countries excel by far rht
people in minority, in education, com merce. industry and finance. The voice of the Greek people whirh is in full harmony with President Wilson's program is a voice of a demo cratlc people, that has offered their service to the "gospel'of liberty." Th"gospel of liberty" that transformed th Allied armies to heroes who cmshe1 the absolutism and despotfSm for the world's democracy. The desire of the entiri; Greek r" is the liberation of its sons from a bai barous and Anti-Christian nation (Tut key), and the annexation to the Gree. nation of the following territories Thrace with Constantinople. Asia Minor. Islands of the Aegian Sea. Epirus and MacedoniaThese territories are Greek termor:from a historical, ethnological, ge-' graphical, political, economical and so clal points of view. This Greek desire agrees with Presi dent Wilson's principle of "self determination" and also with the people ef the United States, the lovers o-' democracy, the people of America wbos ultimate and unselfish desire is to s the people in this world to enjoy liberty and freedom. I said the people of th United States that have not only sacn flced a hugi amount f gold for the protection and the survival of the weak helpless and innocent, but they have offered a greater sacrifice and this is tha' many a thousand men the best menhood of America gave up their precious lives in defense of democracy. Thus the first spark of democracwhich emanated from Greeee, now i was delivered by the people cf the TTdUed States to the entire world.
