THE WAR CLOUD.
Greece Must Modify PretensiOnS

Efforts of fPowers for Reconciliation
England Proposes Autonomy.

ST. PETERSBURG. Russia, Feb. 23-Rus-
sia, il is said, will fOrcihly eNpel the Greek
torpedo flotilla from Cretan waters, disarm
the Greek troops in Crete and blockade the
Greek coasts. il the Hellenic government
persists in its imprudent attitude. II
Greece goes to war, therefore, with
Turkey, she will be left to fight
her battles alone. If this is true,
if Russia is really prepared to take hostile
action against Greece, King George will
have to moderate his pretensions very ma
terially. OF all the great powers, Russia is
the one that is most likely to follow word
with blow for the protection of her inter
ests in connection with Turkey. And she
has a very heavy hand. In curbing Greece,
Russia could probably count upon the active
support of Austria and Germany, and upon
the sympathy.i if not the assistance, of France.
As for Great Britain and Italy. they would
in all likelihood adopt an attitude Of strict
neutrality. However they might sympathize
with Greece, they would not embroil them
selves with Russia in her behalf. II the ear
has really decided to force Greece to aban-
don the occupation Of Crete. the little Hell
lenic kingdom will have to drdwin its horns.

ATHENS, Greece. Feb. pa Canea dis
patch states that three Of the great powers
are in favor of union between Crete and
Greece. King George will appeal to the
Hellenic race for great national loan to meet
the expenses of the military and naval prep
arations which on the part Of Greece con-
tinue. The King openly favors resistance to
the demands of the powers .... The Temps Of
Paris says, that the powers are resolved to
speak firmly to the government at Athens,
solely from fidelity to the tradition that
France and Great Britain wish to eX-
haust all means of cancellation before
cOnsenting to the other measures so
urgently demanded by the courts allied TO
the Greek dynasty. The London Times con-
demns Colonel Nassos, commander of the
Greek corps Of occupation in Crete, for
taking the offensive and attacking the
Turkish outposts at Platania. 1t says
that if King George encourages Colonel Vas

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review

New York, Sept A.-The reactionary
spirit resumed full sway today in the
stock market after a brief period of high
er prices during the morning, due to SYM
pathy with Sugar, which advanced at
one time points over last nights close.
Sugars strength was due to the belief
that the treasury department would de-
eide that Holland was in effect paying
an export bounty on sugar and that the
countervailing duty would therefore ap-
ply to Dutch refined sugars. The rise IN
Sugar and some strength manifested by
Manhattan served TO raise the general
level of prices to a fractional extent, but
proved inadequate to sustain them, and
the fall for the remainder of the day was
practically continued, though more rapid
at some times than others. There was
nothing in the news of the day to ac-
count for the decline, all the reports of
railroad earnings continuing to show
large increase and adVices of the growth
of business activity being uniformly en-
couraging from all points. The outside
pubic, however had apparently ceased
to buy and the large bull operators were
no longer willing to accept heavy offer
ings of stocks made to them. Profit TAX
ing was the featue of the day. The mar
ket was dull compared with the recent
tone, but the decline was nevertheless un-
checked. The bear interest was well de-
fined and was constant in activity during
the day. Total sales were 52l, 200 shares.

MICHAEL EDEN.
Writes Letter to DIR. Hartman,
Columbus, Ohio.

Michael Eden, Keokuk, Iowa, in a
recent letter to DR.. Hartman, says:
Your medicine is not gold or silver,
but the health of life; and health is
worth more than gold. We have had
your Almanacs for years. My wife
was ailing, and told her to try Peru
ma. She replied that one Almanac said
one thing and the others another
thing. That she did not know wheth-
er Pe-ru-na was any better than other
medicines. But I told her to go to town
and get some Pe-ru-na, which she did.
My wife began to take it Immediately,
and in two or three days she began to
talk differently, and say that the medi-
cine did her good. In a week she was
able to do the work. After that she
had a sick spell, and Pe-ru-na cured
her again. The doctors charge from 81
to $5 a visit to ride out in the country;
they get their money, but the sick one
is not well. But a bottle of Pe-ru-na,
which costs 81, restores the health.
My wife was thin, feeble, no appetite,
everything hurt her, cramps, headaches
and stitching. But Pe-ru-na put every
thing in order. We keep Pe-ru-na al
ways in the house"
r. Heiser, a popular druggist Of
Keokuk, confirms the above letter, as
follows "Mr. Michael Eden requests
me to state that his wife suffered six
or seven years with severe pain in the
stomach, and that your famous Pc
ru-na cured her entirely"
DR.. Hartman's latest book, for wo-
men only, sent free for a short time,
by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
company, Columbus, Ohio.
