Greece seems to be forcing herself into
position from which me powers may be
compelled to leave her TO exericate herself.
unless Russia = not unwilling to have war.
The sympathy Of the Christian world has
been aroused on behalf OF The oppressed
Cretans, and the intercession OF the Euro
pean powers was asked for Greece because
she was engaged in humane effort.
The attack on Macedonia is a very diff
ferent matter. II as appears by the dis
patches, the people OF Greece are not.
after ali. aetuated BY love OF the cretan,
but by hatred of the Turk. Greece as
sumes all the responsibility. Other ma
tons. much better equipped for contest
with Turkey. detest the Turk, but they
curb their indignation within the limits OF
discretion. Mere pluck does not always
justify getting into fight: and the enthu-
siasm of the raw Hellenic troops will not
be of much avail before the greater num-
bers and superior armament of the de-
spised tQrban-weaTer.
Turkey has q nominal strength In times
OF peace comprising over 1000 men. while
that Of Greece is only 5000. Estimates OF
war strength are not 50 reliable because
the number OF available reserves always
falls considerably short OF the rolls. Tur-
key claims total war establishment OF
over 800 900. and Greece claims only 2l5.o0o.
or not much more with every man counted
than Turkeys standing army. Turkey has
considerably larger area to cover. and
much OF IL could not be left without garri-
son strength al least, while every part OF
Greece could be left to take care of itself.
But this difference in conditions would not
sufilce to make up the dlsproportion be-
tween the forces. Turkey has a fine navy:
Greece has one or two ships OF size. but tho
disparity Is so great as to be ridiculous
The imminence Of war between Turkey
and Greece starts speculation upon the
forces OF the other powers. 1t is possible
that they will permit Greece TO have Ut
tie blood-letting. In the expectation that
one or two defeats viii check the ferocity
OF the irresponsible elements. But IL the
secret motives OF Russia tend TO lnvite war
with England the provocation will very
soon BE given.
A war between those two powers would
begin by maneuvering to gain the first ad-
vantage. Russia would want the struggle
10 DC on land. England would force fight
ing on the sea. Powerful as Russia Is. she
would be probably compelled to meet Eng
lands navy. since the latter would not
seek 10 conquer territory bat to destroy
Russia's commerce.
- comparison OF the forces OF these two
giant powers Is OF considerable interest.
and II can be made better by using the
forces Of the United States, with which We
are more familiar. as a criterion. The fol-
lowing viii hrinE out the more prominent
points illustrating thu comparative
strength:

HELPING THOSE IN DISTRESS.
