more as woman than as sovereign
that Victoria is vencraied. She has been

By queens, the consorts OF kings and EN-
perors. the virtuous life OF Victoria has
been all that one IIlustrious life could do
to purify the moral atmosphere OF her
surroundings: her example has always
been for good. and she has shown little
tolerance for men or women who lead
immoral lives.
Victoria would have been good
woman under any circumstances. Being

do themselves to celebrate her jubilee.

When the armlstlce between Greece
and Turkey was proposed so as to AFFORD
opportunity for peace negotiations, Tur-
key Insisted that she would treat directly
with Greece or not at all, To this the
powers agreed probably wanting to have
the matter so that way and knowing that
eventually they could exercise the veto
power on 80 much of the proposed treaty
rs they may dIsapprove,
Greece allowed things to drift along on
this line until she got ready to take her
position. Now Greece declines to treat
with Turkey, insisting THAI as she has
placed herself in the hands OF the powers
It Is for them, not her. to deal with the
Turks In bringing about peace.
Greece knows that the powers can
make better terms for her Than she could
make for herself The six European
powers are much more than six times as
strong as Greece. King George and his
advisors know that in the end the treaty
viii have to be such a one as the powers
want: therefore why should Greece so
ahead and mix In a matter which she
cannot control?
Being weak the powers undertook TO
speal, for her. With great craft Greece,
after having been whipped in the field,
turns her weakness to account in diplo-
mocy, ana now she may well ask the
powers, in the language of Boss Tweed.

Great as the powers are 1t does not ap-
pear that they can do anything about (;
but the thing that Greece wants done.
They will have to confer with Turkey
about the treaty OF peace.

cite the worlds admiration, Even the
great powers whom Greece is playing
must admire the way that defeated and
Inundated little country handles her
remaining cards.

When Sir Ellis AShmead- Bartlett took

Journey that he was touring in news
paper interests. He seems Ia have been
received as member OF the British
parllamen; and rich man.
with these advantages Sir Ellis went
anywhere everybody could go and talked
with persons whom not every correspon-
den, could have interviewed. His inter-
view with the sultan OF Turkey was re-
markable for the very attractive man

quoted from that dignitary. He made
