were consigned 10 the flames by the
Mohammedans, and part stolen
by other nations, during the catss-
trophe OF Greece. He does not know
that In the year 1921 the Greeks, in order
to secure their freedom and rights, re-
belled against Turkish rule, thus bring
ing about a contest which they COM
menced under most inauspicious cir
cumstances, and finally succeeded in
gaining a portion Of their country and
rights. There was not creature then
OF royal blood, for all the royal families
had been killed by the MOhsmu. edans,
and when the Greeks asked Prince
Ohio, of Bavaria, to be their king,
he gladly accepted the thrOne-first, for
the glory, and second because he thought
he would become an absolute monarch
or emperor, and obtain the throne for
life. King Ohio sat upon the throne
over thirty years, and felt proud OF being
the president Of kings Of the world as
the eldest on a throne. During his
thirty years reign he purposely avoided
having any children or heirs, that he
might keep the throne for life. At the
same time he kept secret correspondence
and contracts with Turkey for his own
interest to prevent the Greeks from
rebelliDg against Turkey and asking
their rights. When the Greeks discOv-
cred it they sent him to his country
(you will remember the civil war was
brought about in Greece in the year
1858 for the expulsion of King Ohio,
where he died Of his atflictiOn. Perhaps
the residence Of his last moments was
his palace in Bavaria, which he hsd
erected during his reign in Greece, and

sion of King Ohio, Prince George, OF
Denmark, accepted the throne and
went there with alacrity. He ssys in
his article that they say (but whO?) that
King George is ready to abdicate now,
and that be would do so if he were al,
lowed by the car Of Russia, who has
some reasons for keeping his son-in-law
on the throne, and this must be, that be
wishes his son-in.law to become an alb
solute monarch instead Of constitution
81 monarch, for his diplOmatical and
political objects, which | think he never
will succeed, while the people Of Greece
desire democracy. These troubles are
now prevailing in Greece, and, perhaps
pretty soon, they will have a civil war
there again. So, if the Ledger editor
knew well the former and present polit-
icsl condition of Greece, he would not
be disappointed by false Information and
letters, and say that Greece has nothing
to show in the international exhibition
at Philadelphia. 1t is well known that
she exhibited her industries in the exhi-
billions of Paris and Vienna, and she
might send them to the exhibition in
Philadelphia if she was in an undis-
turbed political condition. He says that
it is remarkable to see how Rome sur
passed Greece; but he forgets that Rome
never has been az much oppressed by
barbarous nation as Greece has been by
Mohammedans. He would also know
that in Greece are merchants and bank
ers as good as il other parts Of the world,
and that Athens is as good a place as
any other city of the civilized world to
live in with all the pleasures and good
society and natural beauty, and has the
best educational institutions.
