would have caused no surprise a week
ago, when the Greek irregulars crossed
the frontier, but wnen day after day
passed and the sultan seemed to-
lack courage and hesitated to give
the signal for which Edhem Pasha
was waiting, the opinion was generally
entertained that the concert had proved
useful for once, and that the powers
were preventing an outbreak Of war.
This opinion, which was expressed in
nearly every daily and weekly journal

by the news from Constantinople that
a state of war had been declared and
that the Turkish army was advancing
toward Larissa.

"The Turks 20 years ago fought an
entirely defensive campaign. No rea-
son why they should not do SO now.
Their plan was to seize some important
point and throw up Notifications,
which they constructed with re.
markable skill, and then wait
to be attacked behind their
breastworks. They collected large
amounts of ammunition and provisions
in these forts and awaited attack.
Sometimes their positions were turned.
They were compelled to retreat and
then they would abandon all their
munitions and stores and fall back on

1.-The Turks are individually good

are fine soldiers. very obedient, fanatic

when he thinks matters are going

And South Dakota People VIII Endeavor
to Keep Them Full.
Sioux CITY, Ia, April 2O.-Now that
the South Dakota lake beds have water
in them again the residents in their
vicinity seem anxious to keep them
full. In some instances valuable farm
land is submerged. The owners Of
such tracts will naturally attempt to
drain them. Where too much good
land is not lost, however, owners Of
real estate on the borders of the lakes
are not dissatisfiedIwith conditions. In
many counties money is being appro-
priated to construct dams and other
projections, with a view to retaining
the water. A number of. lakes which
were favorite pleasure resorts in former
years have been completely dried up Of
late. They are bankful now and no
effort will be spared to keep them so.

court, who speaks this week in Wales,
will have fine opportunity for en-
phasiZing his recent criticisms of
Unionist diplomacy and for harassing
the government in his most aggressive
style.
Compelled Turkey to he Aggressor.
Greece has carried her point of COM
pelling Turkey to be the agressor. Her
own campaign is defensive, and this
has an important bearing on the action
of the powers. Tur>ey makes war on
Greece and forces her to defend her
territories. Greece, consequently, is
not making war on the powers, and the
combined blockade and other coercive
measures cannot consistently be main
tanned after an outbreak Of hostilities.
This is great advantage, and one
well worth waiting for. But, with the
exception of a righteous cause, it is
almost the only one which the Greeks
have. The Turks have the heavier
battalion, fiercer and more warlike
spirit, superior facilities of transport
and q more accessible base of opera
tions.
If Macedonia remains quiet behind
them, they will possess all the ad-
vantages of numbers, discipline, leader.
