THE WAR IN THE EAST.
How 1t Was Finally Brought
About.
SIMPLE STATEMENT OF TIE FACTS

Claims of the Greeks and OF the Porte.
The Island Always Storm Center.
Why the So Called Organic Statute
Failed-The Armies, the Commanders
and the Seat of War.
The immediate cause of the war be
tween Greece and Turkey, according 20 the
claims of the porte, is due 20 the action of
the Greek irregulars in penetrating Mace
donia and attacking various minor TURK
ish posts, responsibility for which the
Greek government avows. The latter, on
the other hand, lays the onus on the Turks
who advanced into Thcssaly. This result
ed in sharp conflict between Lodies Of the
regular troops at the town of NC2erCs,
which lies Immediately under the shadow
of Mount Olympus, the fabied home oi
the greater gods Of the ancient Greeks.
The Greeks, who must be considered the
aggressive partyrsa they sent troops t.
the island of Crete TO oppose the Turks he
cause the latter were massacring The
Christians. A further cause for The b,l
ligerency Is their impaticnce because tht
reforms imposed upon Turkey by the grea
powers have not been put into execution.
But it Is necessary To go back mucl
farther to understand the primary caus
of this great eastern crisis. Crete was tn
last Of the Turkish oonquests in Europe
having been captured from the Venetian
after desperate struggle. Like Ireland
Crete was imperfectly conquered at tn
beginning, and the fame Of discord ha
been kept alive IN the island owing to tn
existence Of large minority differing
creed from tho bulk Of the population an
long maintained in a privileged positlo
by tho ruling power. A disturbing inilt

the course very well, the boat was run
aground and il became necessary to get
out and push her off. While the boys
were IN the water the wind caught the
boat and she started off like a racehorse
with those outside of her hanging on
being carried into deep water. They
were wet through and the cold wind
chilled them, so they went ashore, sought

Christmas Carol.

The earth has grown old with its burden
Of care, .
But at Christr~ae - always is young.
The heart OF the jewel burns lustrous
and fair
And its soul full OF music breaks forth
on the air
When the song of the angels is sung.
It is coming, old earth, 1t is coming to-
night
on the snowfakes which cover thy sod
The feet OF the Christ child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice of the Christ child tells
out with delight
That mankind are the children OF God
on the sad and the lonely. the wretched
and poor.
The voice of the Christ child shall fan
And TO every blind wanderer open the
door
or a hope that he dared not to dream OF
before.
With a sunshine OF welcome for all.
The feet OF the humblest may walk in the
field
Where the feet OF the hottest have trod.
This. this Is the marvel TO mortals re-
vealed
when the silvery trumpets OF Christmas
have pealed.
That mankind are the children Of God.
