GREEKS
CLAMOR
FOR WAR
Continued from First Page.

an area of some Is, 900 square miles only.
The same conference-that OF Berlin III
1s7S-that stripped Turkey of her north
ern provinces gave to Greece good part OF
Thessaly and Epirus. making her area 20, ,ooo
square miles and adding population OF
nearly half million, which with the nat
ural increase, will give King George
total of nearly two and quarter millions
of subjects at the present time. But these
are not all he can with certainty count
upon in case of war. The whole Hgean
seaboard, as well as the eastern shores OF
the Black Sea, is occupied by Greeks, VINO,
though nom inally the subjects OF the Sui
tan, are at heart loyal to King George,
hoping and praying for the time when aii
the Greek communities will be united into
one, as of old, and under the scepter OF q
Christian King Of the Hellenes.
This common hope for the future,
common language. common traditions
and a common religion, have made the
Greeks a nation IN spite of the treaties
and tolerances on the part Of the great
Christian powers that have kept two and
half millions of them under the rule OF the
Turk for nearly century after the logic
of events had proved that it could not
sustain itself unaided on European soil.
Mutual jealousy and misdirected diplo-
macy have made the powers of Europe
responsible for the long years of oppres-
sion and cruelty that these people have
been made to suffer at the hands of their
Moslem masters.
Those who are determined upon a con-
tinuance of this policy may well fear the
results of King Georges manly persist
ency. Once begun, the war will end in
proving that all the time, talent and treas
ure expended on the Eastern question
have not been able to stay the natural
course of events. King Georges allies
within the dominions of the Sultan will
not be confined to the Greeks there resi-
dent, and the Sultan at the same time will
have but little loyal support against him
from his subjects. Though not Greeks by
race, the larger part of the rest OF
the people are Greek in religion, and
melted by the success of their brethren
and former co-slaves of the Sultan in Ser.
via, Bulgaria and other countries. are
only too ready to strike a blow for the
Cross as against the Crescent and at the
same time for their own freedom from the
rule of the Asiatic OsmanIi.
The Sultan's European subjects of the
Turkish race, some 1000. 600 in number
all told, live for the most part in the east
ern portion OF Roumella intermixed with
the Greeks and Slavs. N early fourth of
them are to be found in Constantinople
and the vicinity. There are also some
scattered communities about Salonica,
Servia, Monastie and other towns of Mace
donia. Besides these and the Greeks the
majority of the rest of the people are
Slavs by race and Greek Catholic in relig-
ion, acknowledging the ecclesiastical jur-
isdiction of the Patriarch of the Greek
church at Athens. In Albania there are

LOS ANGELES DECISION.
Hotel Keepers Declared Not Liable for
Property Lost in Fires BY
Guests.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, March 27.-A
suit of great importance to hotelmen and
lodging -house-keepers has lust been de-
cided here. 1t involves the rights of
guests to recover the value of personal
property, such as wearing apparel and
iewelry. which may have been destroyed
by fire while they were occupants of the
building, and the property was in the
safekeeping of the landlord.
The case was tried in Judge Aliens de-
partment of the Superior Court, able
counsel having been employed by both
sides. The action was brought by George
T. Harris, who sought to recover $500
from Walter Raymond. Harris sued be-
cause his clothes, diamonds and jewelry
were lost in the Raymond Hotel fire two
years ago. Judge Aliens decision was in
favor OF Raymond.
The plaintiffs contention WAS that
Landlord Raymond had not provided his
hotel with the necessary safeguards against
the destruction by fire of his guests prop
erty, and for that reason should pay the
value of such property lost to its owner.
Raymond showed that he had made
provision against the destruction of the
building, but owing to the great headway
the fire attained before it was discovered
little or nothing could be done to avert
the disaster, the hotel being outside of the
fire limits of Pasadena.

AID SENT FROM SEATTLE.
Steamer Dispatched to Pick UP the
Wrecked Wjiinpa's Passengers and
Carry Them to Juneau.

SEATTLE, WASH, March 27.-Eight
passengers and twelve Of the crew OF the
wrecked steamship Willapa arrived on the
steamer Rosalia to-day at Victoria. Purser
Laforge said that the vessel would be
total loss. c. B. Roberts is still at the
scene of the wreck.
The Alaska Steamship Company has en-
gagged the steamer Edith to pick up the
Willapa's passengers at Bella Coo!a ana
take them on to Juneau.
NANAIMO. B. c., March 27.-The
steamer William was enshrouded in
snowstorm on Friday, March 10, when it
drifted upon the rocks. 1t was bound for
Alaskan ports from Seattle and had on
board full cargo of freight and passen-
gers. The scene of the wreck is one of
the most dangerous localities on the
northern coast.
It is eight miles from Bella Coola and
betwsen two islets known as DalplatZ and
Grassie. The Willapa's engines were not
working at the time and the vessel was
barely in motion.
The shock when the steamers tim bers
crunched against the jagged rocks was in
consequence so slight that many OF the
passengers never left their hunks until ad-
vised of their predicament.
Captain Roberts was at the wheel and
Pilot Jenson, VINO mad Deen IN cnarge,
had Just retired when the accident oc-
Cured All took the affair very coolly and
for some time believed the steamer would
free itself.
So firmly convinced of this were they
that no attempt was made to send any
one ashore until about 10 o'clock. Pilot
Jenson started for Bella Coola with the
only two women who were aboard.
Pilot Jenson returned from Bella Coola
with a mum Der of Indian canoes to assist
in the work, and at IL o'clock all the pas
sengers were on shore.
At the time of the accident the tide was
falling rapidly, and at the extreme lowest
stage the steamer lay over on its star
board bilge, resting heavily with its big
load on some poin ted rocks.
By IL o'clock the flood tide almost COM
pletely covered the wreck. The crew
worked with might and main to save as
much of the cargo as possible, and while

ton, he gave up Immediately. Consump-
ton was considered a necessarily fatal dis
ease Itwas considered incurable. As soon
as it developed enough so that physician
could decide that it was really consumption,
the patient was considered as good as dead.
Years ago, DR. Pierce found out that con-
sumption was not incurable, that 1t was not
necessarily fatal. He not only found this
out, but he found out way to cure con-
sumption. He introduced his Golden
Medical Discovery" The Discovery"
will cure q3 per cent of all cases of con-
sumption If it is taken according to direc-
tions. Consumption is a disease of the
blood. It Is caused by impoverishment of
the blood, and by the existence of disease
germs in the system. If the body is per
fectly strong and healthy, and the blood
perfectly pure, germs are easily thrown off.
If the body is weak, if the tissues are in
capable of much resistance, the germs find
a resting place and develop. That's the
way consumption begins.
The Golden Medical Discovery"
searches out the germs, forces them out
of the system and cures consumption and
other kindred diseases of the throat bron-
CHA and lungs. No doubt about It, no ques-
ton about it. 1t has done it in hundreds
and thousands of cases. The Discovery"
is sold at drug stores.
