The Greeks Retreating.

The sympathies OF the civilized world
are with the Greeks In their war with
Turkey, but they seem 10 be wasted
sympathics. From oil cable adytccs
the Greeks faces are turned 10 Athens
and their footsteps are h~urrying in
the same direction.
1t has been know all the time that
the Turks were superior In numbers,
but a victories are not always TO the
strong, It has been hoped that the for
tunes Of the war would be in favor 81
the weaker forces. However, the civ.
ilized world seems doomed to disap-
pointment, and the retreat Of the
Greeks to-day is about to become NJ
famous as that Of the .'T'en Thousand
under xeuophon in the long, long ago.
But Thermopyln Is between the last
battlefield, Pharsalos, and Athens, and
they may make another Spartan stand
at that pass.
