Ireland, where Que would expect
universal sympathy for Greece, tusra
IL an amazing amount OF plaudiis for
Turkey on the ground that the TufRs
are such good n hters. Toe comments
on the war are becoming more or less
| heated.
Two letters from Mr.. Gladstone since
| Monday have added iuei to the IRE.
He says that the elk powers "wilh
the Incompatible maiaarotts3ss W h ch
has distinguished them throughout
have said, in acts, to the CREEKS, you
ebRn't carry on your work In Crete.'
| "We'il do .he wnr work OF the
| Turks there.'
SIT lie thus they have driven the
Greeks into Macedonia."
Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone REMARKS:
cit IL an incredible shame that the
Incompatible bungling OF tho powers
and sacri1ces OF honor, decsacy and
humanity, In order to preserve peace
have caused war;"
The war has opened wide the purses
OF the Greeks abroad and qua ntities Of
drafts OF from 50 to $50 are coming
from the United States and CANADA
| for the Greek defense funi. Probably
CLOSE upon 100000 have passed
through London for Greece during the
past three weeks.
A prominent London banker sai g.:
"We only represent four United States
and Canadian banks, rom which
these small drafts come, but II these
represent anything like a fair propor-
ton OF the sums forwarded by other
| American banks, which we think IL
undoubtedly the case, the total
amount OF money sent to Greece from
America is already very close upon a
milton pounds sterling. Besides these
American contributions, the Greek
merchants OF LONDON are forwarding
large subscriptions OF money anu ma.
| terial."
The Daily Chronicle and tho Star
have oponed funds tor the wounueu,
and the amounts subscribed will be
Aent TO the crown princess OF Greece. a
Regarding the oOnrse OF the wal, the
| Associated Press learns that the am.
| bassauors OF three Of the powers In
London believe the war will be over
In three weeks and that when the
Turks capture Larissa the sultan of
Turkey will appeal 10 the powers to
\ intervene In the interests Of policy.
In the meanwhile IL 10 said that
Great Britain has declined to agree to
the proposition OF Count MurRvieff 10
abstain from Intervention until one OF
the jbellige rents appeals for help, the
marquis OF Salisbury being OF the
opinion thatsuoh an appeal will new. r
be made, and that In the meantime
circumstances may arise necessita Ing
action upon the part OF the powers.

accepted by his audience at the rosun-
