LONDON, ENG, April 25.-A dispatch

Turkish quarter.
An Athens dispatch says that before the

Italians returned the fire.
The correspondent records interviews
with several mem pers of the Chamber of
Deputies, from which he deduces the DAYS
of the Cabinet are numbered. There is
also irritation against the King some per-
sons declaring that war is a mere stalking
horse to cover the dynastic interests The
position of the royal family, he adds, is
most unenviable.
A royal proclamation is hourly expected.
The ministers went to the palace to-day
and demanded that an immediate change
be made in the command of the army.
The excitement increases.
No estimates of the killed and wounded
has yet been published, but Ralli, leader
of the opposition, who is with the army,
describes the losses as very considera BILE.
He adds the m ajority of the officers in the

Then they came together in large bodies

The Spanish were greatly fatigued by
these tactics and their artillery was rem

WILL GREECE WEAKEN?
Can Save Further Bloodshed by
Invoking the Intervention Eu-
rope Is Ready to Afford,

LONDON, ENG, April 25.-Kritire, the
last position occupied by the Greeks on
the heights of Milouna Pass, was captured
by the Turks by dexterous flank move
ment. The place was defended by strong
earthworks. A dispatch from Volo an
nounces the place fell into the hands of
Moslems Saturday morning.
The Athens correspondent of the Morn
Ing Post says during the retreat from
Larissa Friday night there was a terrible
panic among the fleeing populace. The
Turkish cavalry was close behind the fee
ing army, and used rifles, sabers and re-
volvers indiscriminately, killing many.
In an editorial tomorrow the Times
will ask: "Will the Greeks recognize an
unalterable truth and save further blooo-
shed by invoking the Intervention which
Europe is so anxious to afford whenever a
demand is made? They have indicated
in most ample manner their honor in
arms by magnificent courage and endur-
ance. What object do they hope to gain
by prolonging the contest, which seems
destined to go decisively against them?
Common sense ought to induce them to
seek the ofnces of those who are prepared
to save them from the worst consequences
of their errors. If they are hanging back
hoping their feelings will be saved by
spontaneous proffer of mediation, they
are suffering under a serious misappre-
hension. 1t is not possible for concert
OF Europe TO proffer service until asked to
or until the defeat of one side is patent
When the powers do intervene they will
endeavor, as Greece knows, to obtain for
her the best terms compatible with the
position in which she stands. Naturally
the conditions are not so favora BILE after
fresh defeats as before the invaders make
further progress"
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, April
25.-At Council at Yildiz Kiosk to-day
it was de cided TO grant three of the berats
demanded by Bulgaria for bishops in

LONDON, Eng, April 25.-A dispatch
to the Daily News from Arta, giving de-
tails of the fighting at Penteplgadia,
northwest of Arta, says Major Comoun-
dorous, the Greek commander, was sur
prised and attacked Friday almost as soon
as he occupied the Turkish fort at the out
let of Pentepigadia Pass. The Turks
mum bered 5000, while the Greek force was
only 1000. The latter was without artiI-
lery, and wearied from marching two
nights and day. Nevertheless the fight
ing was severe for eleven hours. The
Turks charged three times, but each time
were repulsed at the point of the bayonet.
The ammunition of the Greeks was finally
exhausted, and they were compelled to
retire, losing $50 killed.

spirit was manifested Is narrated BY i

a cousin who lived ON the banks of d
broad river. His father, in his parting
instructions, placed one restriction up
ON the boys amusements during his
visit.
Il don't want you to go out in your
cousins canoe" he said, firmly. "TheS
are used to the water, but you are not
and you haven't learned to sit still any
where, as yet. You'll be there only 4
week, and with all the other amuse
ments the boys have, and the horses
and dogs, you can afford to let tn,
canoe alone for this time, and keel
your mother from worrying all tn,
while you're away"
The boy readily gave the desired
promise. On his return he was en-
thusiastic over the pleasures he hat
enjoyed.

parent with a beaming smile. 9TH,

A Railroad Above the clouds.


There are several places in the world
where the iron horse actually climbs
up mountain sides to spots which are
situated far above the clouds. In Peru
they have built a railway over one of
the most elevated ribs Of the Andes,
and in Switzerland the steam engine
snorts and puffs around and up the
sides of peaks where 1t was formerly
considered hazardous for sure-footed
Alpine climber to attempt to worm his
way.
The engineers Of the United States
have been equally as enterprising as
those of Europe and the Spanish re.
publics of South America. They have
proven that there Is no mountain toe

Celandine For Cancer.

Lately new cure for cancer has been
described in the journals in the shape
of the application of watery extract
of the great celandine (Chelidonium
majus), plant familiar to every bot
anist. The extract is administered in
ternally and also by hypodermic injec-
ton. DR.. Denisenko, Russian physi-
clan, is the advocate of this treatment,
which, however, has not been found
etficacious i'll the hands of certain other
experimenters. Still there is no reason
why the remedy should not be tried in
appropriate cases. 1t is not "a secret rem
edy, so medical sensitiveness need not
be wounded by the suggestion that it
should at least be tried. Curiously
enough, Mr. @. Lesson Prince in Ma
ture gives quotations from works of
date l40l and 1914 showing that the
celandine was used in medicine in those
days, while later writer's express sur
prise that the plant has fallen into di.}-
use. The 1401 extract speaks of it as a
cure for cancer, and the later quotation
describes it rs correcting vile and per-
nicious bodily humors London Illus
