NOT A GREEK
BUT WOULD co
The Kings Call to Arms
Deeply Stirs Local
Patriots.
Members of the Reserve May
Hasten to the Scene of
Action.
The Hellenic Society Will Hold an
Emergency Meeting to Discuss
the Situation.

The local Greeks are deeply stirred by
the intelligence that the Greek Minister
of Foreign Affairs has cabled to the act
ing Grecian Minister at New York in
structing him to call out the members of
the Grecian reserve in the United States
and to urge them by every means to go to
the assistance of their native country.
There is not single bic bodied Greek
in San Francisco who would not respond
to this call with a!acrity if he were able 10
do so. Unfortunately for any immediate
practical evidence Of patriotism. most OF
the me m bers of the Greek colony are poor
and have not the means at their disposal
to carry them back to the old country.
In this dilemma they chafe angrily, and
are now trying hard to devise some feasi-
BILE scheme to defray the necessary trans
portation expenses. There are probably
about fifty mem bers OF the reserve In this
City, but that number does not include
those others who, though they have never
served in the ranks, are capable of carry
ing musket. There is some possibility
that the wealthy Greeks, OF whom there
are many in other parts of the United
States, will rise to the spirit OF an inspir-
ing occasion almost unparalleled in the
annals of modern European history, and
create fund which will enable their war
like countrymen to obey this call 10 arms.
The money recently raised by the
Greeks in this City was designed to help
the widows and orphans of murdered
sires In Crete, and cannot be diverted
from that noble object. As soon as the
proceeds of the Greek ball have been esti-
mated and added 10 the sum previously
raised by voluntary subscription the total
will be forwarded to the Metropolitan
Bishop of the Greek church at Athens
and by him distributed
The Hellenic Mutual Benevolent So
ciety will hold an emergency meeting on
Wednesday evening, the 10th inst, and
discuss the situation.
1--WE feel" said A. J.. Kosto last
night, "that something should be done
and done quickly. Every Greek in the
City feels that his country needs him, but
without money what can he do? few,
it is true, possess little property, and
these will, no doubt, try to sell it as soon
as possible and hasten to the scene OF
action. The whole colony is deeply stirred
by this intelligence and will leave no stone
unturned to obey the call OF their King
| and country. There are many here who be-
long to the army reserve and would JOY
fully don their uniforms again in anlici
patton of striking decisive blow at the
power OF the hated Ottoman.
1.-The Hellenic Society will do its best to
promote this patriotic determination, and
in the course of tie next few days we may
be able to eport something definite"

TREBELLI CONCERT.
The Rain Failed to Keep Enthusiastic
Music-Lovers Away.

The Rain Failed to Keep Enthusiastic
Music-Lovers Away.
A heavy rainfall failed to keep away the
music-lovers of the City from the rebelli
matinee at Golden Gate Hall, and well
were they rewarded, for Mademoiselle
Trebelli excelled herself. From the mo-
ment she appeared she seemed thoroughly
in touch with her audience. Encore after
encore was demanded, and after bowing
three and four times she was finally COM
PEELED to accede to the persistent de-
mands.
The bolero from Verdi's "Vepres
Siciliennes" was the most important
work done and ELECTED round after round
of applause. For an encore she sang the
Laughing Song" "Eclat pour Rire"
from Auber's "Manon Lescaut."
Miss V. Schorcht played Vieux-
temps Ballade and Polonaise, Wagner 8
Albumblatt and Wieniawskps Mazurka,
exhibiting an excellent technique. Mr..
Sauvlet performed on the piano excel
lently. Mr.. Sauvlet will soon leave for
South America, where he goes to tour
with Remenyi. l. Marion fulfilled the ar
duous duties of an accompanist skllliully.
F. Schorcht accompanied his sister.
In response to numerous requests Mile
Trebelli will sing Tuesday night "Lo,
Hark the Gentle Lark"

The apparatus has been refitted; the
bowling alley has been repaired and a
new shower bath has been put in in the
Easement. A set of rooms has been
fitted up in Parker hall for the use of
the gymnasium director and provided
with the anthropolnetric apparatus
necessary for making the physical ex-
aminations.
Provided with a thoroughly compe-

needs of the students and it is expected
that the results of the improvements
will be evident not only in the athletic
exhibition but also in track athletics
next summer.
