In spite of all caution, the Greeks seem

She has simply become jealous of what she chooses to
deem the aggrandisement of • nut immediate
neighbour, has put forward inadminiable claims on
her own account, and has worked herself up into a
fever of spurious patriotism on account of these
claims. All through she has been warned agairst

that bee honour is involved in maintaining her own

friendly advice of the great Powers, she has rashly
defied their joint demands that she should discontinue
her attitude of provocation. After protracted
forbearance which seems only to have encouraged
Oriel obstinacy, the Powers have at last withdrawn

made late increase her preparationa for an unprovoked
war upon Turkey. It seems nothing short of insahity
for a little nation, while at the least her ports are
threatened with international blockade, to challenge
a powerful neighbour to the fight on her land frontier;
and this not todef end the national territory and i sdepen
