win Crete Cause WARE

The blockade of the ports Of Crete has
begun. The announcement of that fact is
made in our dispatches this morning.
Neutral vessels which do not carry sup
plies for the Greeks are permitted to en-
ter the ports.
But Greece shows no disposition to yield
to the powers. She does not intend to
abandon the Christian Greeks of Crete
and she is sending her soldiers to the
Macedonian border.
The situation appears to be critical. At
any moment there may be conflict be
tween the Greeks and the Turks on the
border. The Greeks seem anxious for war
with Turkey and Turkey feels confident
that in the event of war with Greece her
soldiers will pitch their tents in the streets
of Athens.
If the powers hold together they can Of
course quickly crush Greece. But will
they hold together? There are signs
which seem to indicate that they will not
And If they do and should turn their guns
upon Greece would there not be vigor-
Gus protest from Christian people
throughout Europe? Would the people of
England, France, italy and even Russia,
calmly look on while Greece was being
crushed for daring to assist the Chris
tian Cretans in their struggle with the
Moslems? The English government has
already been given notice by the opposing
party that the course Great Britain is
pursuing In the Cretan matter is not sat
isfactory.
War may be averted. but it looks as If
the policy the powers are pursuing would
lead to war; although their avowed pur-
pose is to prevent war.

The death Of the crown prince Of Japan
has not been officially announced. but 1t
is believed the report Of it is correct. The
young prince was never strong. He was
the only son OF the emperor. Under the law
the succession goes down through the male
line exclusively. Should another son not
be born to the emperor the succession
would so to the male next-of-kin of the
emperor. who IA this case is his cousin.
The cousin, Prince Arisugawa. is a dstin-
guished, highly educated and much trev-
eled young officer In the japanese navY.

Water works are not constructed for

authorities in this city. II 90. or even 90
per cent. OF the water pumped is going to

The best citizens of Cuba dread the sue

the continuance of Spanish rule, though
they have no love for that. We would

chances are that we would annex just such

Spain and the Cubans so many good mill

There are so many negroes who are ready

II appears that the flood in the Missis-
sippl is the worst that has been known
for many years. Ten or more of the Is
lands in the river below Memphis are
submerged. The cotton plantations on
the Islands and in the bottoms are being
greatly damaged. The loss of live stock
has been heavy, and will be st!ll heavier.
The predicament of the people in the
flooded districts makes a most pitiful tale.
Relief measures are going forward as
rapidly as Is possible. Liberal responses
have been made to appeals for immediate
relief. 1t is possible, however, that many
of the sufferers will need more than tenn
porary aid. Numbers Of them will lose
just about all of their worldly posses
sions. They will be seriously handicapped
even after the food has subsidized Should
it be found necessary to call for contri-
buttons for them, the country at large
will lend a hand quickly. The suffering
never appeal in vain to Americans.
