Of color in carpets of green that beautified
all the parks, and the vivid shades in has

INTEREST AMONG OFFICIALS.
The News From the East the Absorb
ing Topic.

The news of the crisis in the Cretan STU
alton has been the absorbing topic in Off
cial circles. The expressions of officials
were general that the United States could
not be drawn into the conflict, and that
the course of this country was plain in
preserving strict neutrality. 1t was felt
on all hands among officials that the real
gravity of the announcement was in the
prospect that it would serve as the spark
TO start the confagration through all Eu-
rope.
When informed that war had been de-
clared between Greece and Turkey, Secre-
tary Sherman said: TT is no surprise to
me, as recent events have seemed to make
war inevitable, and L have expected that
result to come. Fortunately the scene of
the reported conflict is far from US, and
the United States has little or no con-
Germ with the war. We will, of course,
observe the strictest neutrality as between
the parties. This is natural result from
the conditions prevailing, and will require
no specific declaration of neutrality Our
commercial interests with Greece and Tur-
key are very small. that there is no
ground for disturbance in that connection.
Last year our exports to Greece amounted
to only S629.727, an insignificant sum, bare
ly ] per cent as compared with the total
exports. Turkey exported to the United
States S2,6l9,O0 last year, showing a SINH
lar lack of important commercial dealings
between the United States and Turkey
That being the case our commercial geo.
graphical and political isolation from these
countries leaves us quite free from any pos
sible ENHANCEMENT in the conflict"
MIR. Sherman was asked IL the war was
| hkeiy TO renew the occasion for an Ameri-
can war ship in the Golden Horn
There has been no talk of that Of late. -
said he, "and l see no occasion for any
change in affairs. The news in no way
! changes the status of our ministers to
Turkey or Greece. Their rights and i'm
munities are In no way limited, and their
official position gives them asylum against
all disorder Except in the profound re-
greet our people will feel that two nations
| are involved in war; we can be in no way
/ involved in the conflict"
| Similar views were expressed by. Senator

Sunday School Festival Mt st. Mat
thew's.

The Easter festival of st. Matthew's
