A CASUS BELL
Henry Labouchere is the author of
sensational aticle in Truth. the au-
thority of which is a well-known for
eign diplomat. The article says:
Greece was involved in war with Tur-
key owing to the endeavor of King
George to bluff the Gear into hurrying
the marriage of Princess Marie. The
Car declined to interfere and King
George, knowing that Russia was most
DESTROYS that there should be no dis
turbances in the south of Europe, played
with the war party until it got beyond
his control. The Gear then warned
King George that the Turks would oc-
cupy Athens and that his dynasty would
cease to reign. King George finally en-
tered into an arrangement with Russia,
the latter promising the Turks should
not go beyond Thessaly provided no
real stand was made against them that
the Greek forces in Epirus would not
seriously operate against Janina and
that the Greek fleet would remain in
active. All these arrangements were
carried out, the Crown Prince, Prince
George and Col. Vassos all having secret
orders from the King"
The Daily Chronicle, which continues
to champion the cause of the Greek royal
family, processes to know that the story
is untrue, but it is generally believed.
THEATRICAL GOSSIP
Clement Scott, the dramatic critic has
stirred up a storm by circulating the
advance sheets of an interview for Great
Thoughts, attacking the morals of the
stage. His utterances are based on the
most intimate lifelong acquaintance
with the personnel Of the profession,
and his position as dean of London
critics gives his views Importance. See
ing the advance reception Mr.. Scott re-
quested the editor not to print the inter-
view, which he refused to do. Mr.. Scott
in the interview, said it was nearly i'm
possible for a woman to remain pure
who adopts the stage, adding that the
| freedom of life, speech and gesture be-
| hind the curtain renders it almost i'm
possible for woman to preserve that
| simplicity of manner which is her great
est character.
What is infinitely more to be de-
plored," he adds, is that woman who
endeavors to keep her purity is almos,
as necessity foredoomed to failure In
her career. 1t is an awful thing to say
and still more terrible, it Is true; but nc

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The gunboat
Helena, commanded by Captain Swim
burn, left the Brooklyn navy yard today
to join the Asiatic squadron. 1t will take
year for the boat to get to the end of its
proposed trip. Stops will be made at
Bermuda and Gibraltar. Captain Swim
burn will take the boat along the north
coast Of Africa, later getting into the
Euphrates river. It is the intention of
Captain Swinburn to pay visit to the
shah of Teheran. The Helene will take
the place of the Monterey, an old side
wheeler that has been condemned.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-It is said
at the navy department that no signifi-
canoe attaches to orders issued today to
the Raleigh to join the fleet Of the Asiatic

ship short of the usual quota, having re-

OF RELIEF


pense. The cost of getting food into that
remote country. particularly at this sea-
son of the year, will necessarily be very
great, but it need not be wholly gra-
tuitous expenditure. Many of the men
that are in a suffering condition have
sufficient gold to pay for supplies and
gratuitous issue of supplies should be
made only to those who are in a desti-
tute condition. An important feature
Of sending expeditions through the in

comparatively reopened. In the mean
while the worst impression has been Gre
ated in Great Britain by the reiteration
of the statement that the rank and file
Of at least four British regiments showed
decided lack of pluck in the presence of
the native regiments. An officer at the
frontier writes:
1.-THE worst is that the native troops
have seen the cowardice of their white
comrades and state openly that If any
Tommy Atkins is ruler to them here
after they will hammer him; and the
awful thing is, they can do So"
1t is obvious that If the natives lose
their respect for British courage, Great
Britain's hold on India is most preca-
rious. The whole fault seems to lie in
expecting boys to do mems work, and in
turning them adrift just when they are
becoming good soldiers. The campaign
cannot end before March, and the cost,
fully ESQ, 900, will necessitate the in
tervention of the British treasury in Or
der to avert bankruptcy in India.
HOLIDAY SOCIETY
The court left for Osborne, Isle of
Wight, at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, where there will be larger Christ
mas parties than usual of the Batten-

years old. She is vary busy over a
new scheme to establish an agricul-
tural training collegs for women, to ed

The Countess, however, has found
time to write life of Joseph Arch, the
labor leader and president of the Ma
tional Agricultural Labor Union. who
has also been Methodist preacher and
has lectured for the union in all parts
of Great Britain and Canada. In this
work the Countess Of Warwick, who was

dare deny it,
Mr.. Scott says the English stage is the
worst because the English are the least
artistic people in the world, and more
completely without the saving grace of
humor than any other nation.
Being interviewed on the subject of
this interview, Mr.. Scott protests it is
not an attack on the stage; that he has
not been accurately reported, and that
it is not fair to quote extracts, as he was
speaking for religious paper and from
a moral standpoint.
MANY actresses" he continued lead
who are forewarned of the dangers, sell

The Grand Theater du Suburb, of
Islington, has been the scene of the re-
markable play in which Mrs. Potter fig
ures as Charlotte Corday and Mr.. Bel
lew as Marat, in which he has often been
seen in the United States, but never be-
fore in England. Their supporting COM
pany was very able one, and the audi
ence was quite enthusiastic over the
gruesome assassination scene, which the
principals enacted with great power.
One of the most risque embodiments
of alleged life on the stage which has
been permitted by the British censor is
q curtain-raiser, entitled A New Leaf,
by Herbert Darnley, running at one Of
the theaters. The principal parsonage,
Lord Annerty, is a gentleman who has
sown q generous crop of wild oats and
sits down to reflect upon the same one
evening after his return from one of
the night-club institutions peculiar to
London. While soliloquizing on the vir-

own unworthiness of her, his apartment

The best way TO wash black stockings
is, first, to turn them wrong side out,
so they will not become streakei on
the right side; then wash them with
a little ammonia In the water. Rinse
them in blue water and hang to dry
in place sheltered from the sun.
Never wash black stockings in water
in which white clothes have been
washed, for the lint will adhere to
them.

LEISURELY LANE.

Is there no road now to Lelsurely Lane
we travelled it long ago;
A place for the tagging of lelsurely
steps, sweet and shady and slow.
I There were rims of restfu! hills beyond,
and fields OF dreamful wheat,
With shadows of clouds across them
blown, and peoples asleep at our
feet.
There lads and maids on Sunday met
and strolled them, two and two;
The leaves they laced in a roof o'erhead
and only the sun peered through !;
And there was time to gather a rose,
and time for the wood-bird's call,
And plenty of time to sit by stream
and harken its ripple and fall.
Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane?
(God knows we haye hurried afar y
There was once lamp through the
brooding dusk, and over the tree a
star;
There was once q breath of the cloyer
bloom (sweet Heaven, we have
hurried 80 longD
And there was gate by q white rose
clasped, and out of the dusk song.
That song. the echo is strange and
sweet, the voice it is weak and old j;
It hath no part with this fierce, wild
rush, and this hard, mad fight for
gold
It hath no part with the clamor and
din, and the jarling of wheel and
stone
Oh, listen, my heart, and forget-forget
that we reap the bread we haye
sown!
Is there no road now to Leisureiy Lane
where, lingering, one by one,
The summonlng bells of twilight time
over the meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward
way, glad of the evening star?
Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane?
God knows we have hurried afar IL

The Local Papers Gift to its Town.

Newspoperd0ns.
Ex-Governor Francis, of Missouri, is
quoted as saying: each year the To-
cal paper gives from $500 to 81 900 in
free lines to the community in which
it is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in proportion
to his means, does more for his town
than any other ten men. He ought to
be supported, not because you like him
personally, or admire his writing, but
because local paper is the best invest
ment local people can make: 1t
may not be brilliantly edited or over
crowded with thought, but finally 1t is
OF more benefit to the community than
the teacher or preacher. Understand
me, I do not mean morally or intellect
ually, but financially"
