Greek honor can be retrieved by con-
tinuing the struggle the government

abated energy. If the condition Of the

strength of the country, and even then
annihilation will be preferred If the

the ambulance hospital she was hissed
and jeered by the crowd, which forced
her to return to the hospital. The
royal carriage was then summoned

at the top of the speed of her horses.
Certain members of the late cabinet
are industriously fomenting anti-royal-
ist feeling by statements in the press
calculated to reflect upon King George,
For example, the late minister of ma
rine alleges that he prepared q COM
plete plan of action for the fleet but
that his orders were not executed, ow-
ing to certain other orders issued by

Queen olga and the Crown Princess
Sophia are working day and night like
sisters OF mercy. The queens health
still leaves much to be desired
The royal arms have been stripped
from the carriage in order that the
occupants may drive about unrecog-
nized, and thus avoid similar ex-
periences, As another indication Of
popular feeling tradesmen who have
been wont to display the royal es-
cutcheons in front of their shops have

Greek newspapers say that a strong
Turkish force from Janina co-operating
with the Turkish garrison at Pente-
pigadia attacked the Greek positions
there on Thursday, and that the Greeks
after an obstinate resistance were COM
PEELED to retreat to Arta. Two COM
panies fell into disorder, and on ar

the Turks might be allowed to retain
the positions captured in Epirus.
