You are Mortified, and wish to turn away

CREEK TROOPS FOR CRETE.

Orders Tantamount to an Occupation of
the Island.
ATHENS, Greece.-The Greek army reserves
of 1898 and 1924 have been called out and
ordered to hold themselves in readiness to
join their colors at forty-eight hours notice.
A number of detachments of infantry,
artillery and engineers have embarked ut
Piraeus for Crete. Their departure was at
tended with great enthusiasm.
1t is understood that the orders OF the
troops are to protect the Christian families
In Crete and to restore order. This is looked
upon as tantamount to the occupation OF the
Island.
Greece Ia put all Europe . TO shame.
She has de1eit the Great Powers, and in spite
OF their solemn warning. has virtually begun
war against Turkey. Her reply to the COM
bined protest of Europe was made by her
Minister OF Foreign Affairs. 1t Is q laeonic
message worthy Of her people and OF their
splendid heritage:
"Greece accepts full responsibility for all
her acts"
Her first act under that spirited declara-
tion was to fire upon O Turkish transport
conveying ammunition to the besieged gar
rison near Canea and drive it back. The
next was to call out her army reserves, and
her third to embark a regiment OF soldiers
for the invasion Of Crete.

which will make every Englishman grind
his teeth with shame and disgust. A British
naval officer, sent by the British Admiral
commanding the British fleet off Canea,
called upon the commander OF the Greek
cruiser which had fired upon the Turkish
flag, and protested in the name OF Great
Britain against the action.
The Sultan, at ConstRntinople, as soon as
he heard that q Greek mau-otwar had fired
on his ship, sent his Foreign Minister trot-
ting around to all the Ambassadors TO say
that the Greut Powers must promptly restrain
the Athens Government or else Turkey
would "follow her own course" OF course,
Ambassadors quickly telegraphed to the elk
capitals, Irging that Greece be stopped.
Tho firing upon the Turkish transport
Fuad was done by the Greek cruiser Miauua.
The Fuad was carrying arms n ammuni
tion, but not troops, TO the besieged garrison
near Canea.
/. The Greek commander first signalled the
Turkish ship to stop. No attention was
paid. Then the Greek vessel fired two solid
shots, some reports say three, which did not
hit the Fund, but caused her to turn about
and put back. The Turkish boat was'un-
armed, an therefore unable to return the

THE PRESIDENTS STAND.
Structure From Which Mckinley Will Re

Structure From Which Mckinley Will Re-
view the Inauguration Parade.
Thu design for the reviewing stand from
which President-elect Mckinley will rev.sw
the parade in Washington on March 4, is the
work of q young architect, Mr.. R. A. Whit
tingham. The design provides for a stand
OF considerable architectural beauty, and
architectural lines rather than the decora-
tors art will be its predominant characteris-
tic. TIL stand will be painted purs white,
and on this background will be placed the
only decorations. consisting OF American
flags and red, white and blue bunting.
Owing to the dignity of the arch under
which the President will stand it is believed
that the structure will harmonize with the
.neighborinS buildings, and the White House
and Treasury Department. The seating Ca
pacity will be 1000. One point of excellence
In the plan comes from the fact that 1t mat
ters not how hard it ma rain or storm, the
reviewing stand will present about the same
appearance as it would In clear weather.
There Is little or nothing about It to become
bedraggled or to lose color The roof will be
so constructed as to avoid entirely the use OF
all obstructing posts.

The Government Has no Vessel Suitable

Secretary Herbert has received a request
from the San Francisco Board Of Trade TO
detail a war vessel to carry grain to the
starving people of India. He has written
Senator Perkins that it will be impossible to
grant the request, as tue war vessels, from
their construction and the great amount OF
space occupied by their machinery, guns,
stores. etc, arc not fitted to carry II cargo:
The United States has nothing in the way OF
transports or freight vessels suitable for the

best way will be for Congress to authorize

sufficient cargo space for the voyage, and
expresses his desire to facilitate the matter
