Fort Emory was filed with women
folk and conSternation-most or the
men being afield. The settling ques-
ton of the hour was whether they
be received at the fort, whether she
was to be acknowledged and recognized
at all, and then came, mirabile dictu,
a great government official from
Washington to inspect the Union Pa

points along the road, and Mrs.

For three months that hard-worked

lieutenant had hoped for leave to go
home and see the mother and Jess.
His captain was still ailing and unfit
for duty in saddle. He could not and

The world is at a loss to understand
why the Greeks allowed the Turkish
army to come in through the Miloupa
Pass. 1t was a place which one
would think could be made impregna-
bic at a very small outlay and with a
very small army. The Turks, how
ever took 1t easily, and after a few
hours seige Larissa, a strongly for
titled town, crumbled before the fire of
the Turkish guns, but the defenders
fled like sheep from ]entrenched posi-
tons which ordinary fighting might
nave held for days longer.
They are now talking of making q
last stand at Thrmopp lae and calling
on the shades of their brave ancestors
10 repeat history and duplicate the
stand made by 800 Greeks against The
army OF Aerxes. II they cannot do aav
better at this pass than thy did at
Mllouna, they had better let the place
alone and not obliterate by a modern
oe1eaf the sacred memories Of mans
Valor that has hung about the famous
spot Tor centuries. There Seems IN be
something wrong with the Greek
method Of conducting their war.
