regular Greek troops. Three thousand

tier on Wednesday, the day after the
celebration of the anniversary of the
declaration of Greek independence IN
1921 Tuesday, the day of the celebra-
ton, was looked upon as likely to be
the day the Greeks would select for
opening hostilities; but Tuesday in
Greece is considered an unlucky day
upon which to embark upon any un-
dertaking of Importance, and so the
crossing of the frontier was postponed
until Wednesday. The Greek eXpe-
ditionary force is commanded by eX-oill-
GERS and eX-non- commissioned othcers
of the regular army of Greece, ana IN
cludes the band of Italian volunteers

NOT TUBERCULOSIS.
Examination Shows that the Bridges
Children Died of Pneumonia.

Children Died of Pneumonia.
The report OF DR.. Charles d. Smith, Of
Portland, president OF the State board Of
health, puts an end to the controversy as
to what caused the death OF the Bridges
children at East BIuehll. DR.. Smith
made careful examination of the lungs Of
two of the children, and portions OF the
udder and lungs OF the COW, which DR..
West, the Ellsworth veterinary, declared
to be diseased, and the milk from which
was said to have caused tubercular pneu-
monia in the children who drank it.
DIR. Smith says all the parts examined
by him were in All excellent state Of pres
ervstion, condition highly favorable to
the accuracy of the results OF examina-
ton. lie says furth her hat he considered
the determination OF the true nature OF
these cases OF SO much Importance that
he verified the finding in each specimen
by other methods OF examination, and
the result WAS the same in each.
The conclusions he reaches are these:
/. That the children W no died, died OF
croupous pneumonia, and not OF tubercu
losis.
2. That the present illness OF Luther
Bridges and his son is pneumonia, aud
not tuberculosis.
3. That no tuberculosis WAS present in
the COW from which came the port ions OF
lung and udder examined.
As stated in THE AMERICAN last week,
do ha IN

the State board OF agriculture, for the
purpose OF settling beyond dispute the
question OF what caused the death OF the
children, and aliaying, as he believed it
would, the tuberculosis scare which was
agitating he people and causing expense
to the farmers OF the State. In letter
accompanying DIR. Smiths report, Secre
tary Mckeen says:

Tie shrewd business men of other
nations are not likely to sustain the
assertion which the free traders are
now making that there will be retail
iation against the United States on
account Of oar new tariff by an ex-
clusiol of our goods from foreign
countries. Japan, which has been
especially pointed out as likely to
take a step OF this kind, has sold US
$4,000, 600 yens' worth of goods in
the last ten years, and bought from rs
only : Geo. Gao yens' worth. Japan is
not likely to take step which would
close the markets of this country TO
the products Of her own people under
these circumstances.

We publish this week decision
from the law court which is in many
respects one of the most important
ever handed down by the highest
court of Maine, involving an import
ant point of law, but one which it is
believed has never before been adju-
dicated. The case was one of the
many liquor cases from Bar Harbor,
which went TO the law court on mo-
ton to discharge the respondent, on
the ground that the warrant on which
search and seizure were made was not
served within twenty four hours after
issue, and was therefore null and void
The decision of the law court sustains
this view and the respondent is dis
charged. The rescript of the decision,
which is by Judge Emery, will repay
careful perusal.

No man in public life is nearer to
the American farmer to-day than
Hon. j. Brigham, assistant secre-
tary of agriculture, whose valuable
service as master of the National
grange has brought him in close
touch with that great class OF citizens
His views upon conditions and pros
poets are interesting to ALL but
especially SO to that body of men and
women to whose interests he has de-
voted so much time and thought. In
talking with newspaper correspond
ent recently Mr. Brigham said:
THE administration has been earnestly ad.
vocating the early passage of measure that
will correct the evil results of the Wilson low.
tariff free raw material lava measure which
is expected to give adequate protection to the
agricultural interests and with tendency to
remove the present existing depression. There
has been less delay than in any previous legis-
lation Of the Kind. The farmers very
est in demanding adequate protection on all
Farm commodities grown here in competition
with similar products grown abroad and some
times imported into this country. and the ad-
mini-tration is fully committed to this policy of
giving amp e protection to agricultural pro
duets
With regard to the delay in the re-
turn of prosperity, Mr.. Bingham said:
at is hardly fair to expect benefits from
protective system before the law has been
acted. People should not forget that are
still living under the Wilson low tariff free raw
material measure and that at present the only
advancement or Improvement in conditions is
the anticipation OF the good effects of the new
ure. Progress on the bill is much greater
than has been expected by those well informed
and familiar with tariff legislation, and the
measure Will undoubtedly soon become a law,
and not by the votes of one party alone
But the hue and cry against the delay In the
coming of prosperity are not properly charge
able to the ignorance of the farmer and work
ingman on this subject. They pretty well
informed. This cry comes principally from the
cheap politicians who are striving TO make cap
ital out OF the matter. There Is sense in
asking for this promised prosperity before the
passage OF bill which will cut of the enor
NOUS importations of foreign stuff, and give
the country chance to right itself. When the
remedy Is tried and fails 1t is time enough for
people to say that mistaken and unable
to bring prosperity"

The ultimate ratification of the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii is
regarded as so certain, notwithstand-

who are opposed to it, that no effort
will be made to push it to vote at

dent is perfectly satisfied to have it

The tariff bill is likely to be good
deal more easily recognized by men,
bers of the House when it comes back
to that body than was expected at
first. The important changes which
the finance committee recommended
have not been accepted by the Senate,
and in the one important schedule re-
naming, that relating to wool, it is
believed that the House rates on first
and second class woods will be re-
stored, or at least rates approximate
to those named in the House bill
adopted.

While the republicans enjoyed the
accusations and counter accusations
hurled by democratic senators against

many other things, but the country is
