GREEKS m TURMOIL.
Scnndalous Disclosures Are Expected To
Follow Investigation.


Athens, May 26.-The torrent OF re-
and bitter invective which
was checked by the fear of the imme-
diate Turkish advance to Athens has
broken out afresh, now that this danger
has been removed by the armistice. The
authors of the war policy. equally with
those who are held responsible for the
disasters, are being dragged before the
bar Of public opinion SO far as the
official culprits are concerned, it is be-
lieved that the government viii appoint
a commission of inquiry to punish the
guilty A thorough investigation into
the ambulance and commissariat de-
partments viii probably entail scandal

A dispatch from Lamla says that 300
Ghegs intruded upon the neutral zone.
but We're driven back by the Greek
gendarmerie. The Crown Prince Con-
stantlne has strongly protested against
this as a violation Of the armlstice.
The Ethnike hetairia is bitterly de-
nounced. and the government is urged
TO seize its funds. TO coniscate its
stores and arms and to compel It to
render an account. The government is
not likely to accede to this suggestion,
because many persons prominent in po-
litical life are closely connected with
the organization and the hetairia, con-
scious of its strength. has decided to
remain silent and TO preserve it's mys-
terious and invisible character. Possi-
bly, smitten with compunction, howev-
er, the society has donated $4,000
drachmas for the relief Of the Thessa-
Ian refugees.
The Embros publishes a sensation in
a telegram from Lamia declaring that
the British men-of-war at Volo pre-
vented the landing of guns and ammu-
milton from a Russian man-of-war for
the use of the Turks. The story is
probably untrue. but It indicates the
prevailing distrust of Russia.

Radical changes in the postal system
are called for in Il blu introduced hyssMr.
Adamson. Of Georgia. IL this bill he pro-
poses making every Office q money order
office. To one who has ever lived in the
country the convenience of such an office
will appeal most strongly, but the ques-
tion is whether the benefits to be derived
would be commensurate with the in
creased expense. The Hon. f. F. Loud,
in the Forum for December, calls atten-
ton to the fact that already for thirteen
years, the deficit of this branch of the
public service has been steadily increas-
ing, and that the returns for the present
year indicate a deficit of over $50, 000,-
O0O 1t seems to DO n common fallacy TO
suppose that th" posta, department is "a
self-sustaining one. In view of the fact
that an increase of money order Offices
means an increase of expense in maintain
ing them, and that the expenditures of
the Government for the year are likely to
be in excess of it's revenue, however de
sirable such measure, it would be at
present IN ill-advised one.

Germany is at present occupying II very
large place in the eyes of the civilized

mands upon China and Hayui. She has
been playing strong hand. but there
were few who believed that she would
play it to Il finish without greater show
of opposition on the part of these coun-
tries. Poor little Haiti made Is brave
show of resistance i'll words, but when
the crisis came, Germany's war ship
doomed up too large for her, and she was
forced TO eat large slices of very humble
pie. The $50, 900 indemnity she has been

ders affair is but Il small ma tier in com

salute her enemy's vessels. We venture
To say That music never sounded more
hateful than did the German national

when played in salutatiun TO the flagship
Charlotte. Then, too China has been
compelled to give in, AND Kiao Chan,
long coveted by Germany rs a naval sta
ton, has been coded to her No one pre-
tends TO believe that the demands for
reparation of her two murdered mission
aries was anything more than IA pretext
for quarrel. Emboldened by her sue
cess, it isssnot likely that Germany will
stop here in her demands, but in the
meantime she has succeeded in arousing
the jealousy OF other nations by her greed
and both Japan and this country will
watch most vigilantly any other move for
