The "HetairIe Ethnique.'

philadelphia NOrth AHieliCdht
A writer in the Revue des Deux Mon
des gives some interesting particulars OK
that famous secret society, the "Het-
airie Ethnique," and Of its part in pre-
cipitating the recent disastrous HOSTILE
ties between Greece and Turkey IL
seems that this supposed-to-be redouot-
able organization is Of quite recert origin.
II was created in it's existing form as
an offset to the Bulgarian Junta, which,
after the assassination OF Stambulon
undertook to revolutioniZe Macedonia. A
year later the Olympian games at Athens
afforded it an opportunity TO increase It's
influence and extend it's field OF action.
All the Greek committees in Turkey sent
delegates there and the chiefs of the
Hetairie found an insurrectionary con-
vention ready to their hand. Their ce-
alterations then and there resulted IN a
scheme to deliver Macedonia from the
Turks by taking possession Of Il and az
forwards forcing the Greek Government
TO support the act.
The Hetairie, thanks to the mystery
by which it surrounded itself, was sup
posed to be very strong. This proved
to be a mistake. At the time Of it's be
ginning operations it did not lack fol
funds. Three fourths Of the people Of
Greece are believed 10 have been month
