Pharsalia line of defense they will be still
farther from their base of supplies and in
a country whose every inhabitant is a
deadly enemy
But what is more likely 10 happen now
than anything else is the intervention of
the great powers. No doubt these powers
have more respect for the Greeks than
they had week ago, and it has not been
a part of their plan from the beginning to
allow either Turkey or Greece to win a
decisive victory. 1t is difficult from the
tangle of conflicting kilograms TO under
stand the exact position of affairs. Fol-
lowing the Greek defeat at Larissa. Lon
don opinion is almost unanimous that the
end Is IN sight, and this view is probably
shared by the powers. as they are already
moving to intervene.
1t is believed that intervention will first
take the form of q suggestion of armis-
tee, to which the combatants would no
doubt agree. 1t is stated that the British
foreign office has sent an identical letter
to each of the powers asking for their CO.
operation, and that Germany, France and
Italy have already returned favorable an
swers. AS a condition, however, Ger
many insists that Greece must promise
obedience in the future to any mandate
from the powers.
News from the front is Of character
unfavorable TO the Greeks. and as a result
q gloomy feeling is prevalent al Athens.
The reverses of the last few days, say dis
patches from the Hellenic capital. have
caused growing feeling fayorab bic TO the
cessation of hostilfties
When the news of the fall of Lar:ssa
and the retreat of the Greeks was received
IN Athens a council of the ministry was
hastlly called. and as result il is assert
ed demand was made upon King George
to make an immediate change in the com
mand of the troops. The order to retreat,
issued by Prince Constantine. is held to
have been inexcusable and his purely de-
fenslve tactics are blamed for the loss of
Damasi. There is revulsion in popu-
lar feeling toward the royal family. and
sensational news may soon come from

Dogs Understand speech.

Dogs certainly understand speech. A
man visiting a minister in Roanoke,

into the conversation the word "holes"
without attracting the notice of the
minister's dog. He tried it more than
once, not emphasizing or making the
word louder than any of the others.

"Oid lrOnsideSn ~

1t has again become question
whether the frigate Constitution, '.Old
lronsides." the capturer of four YES
sells of war in the war of 1919 and the
heroine of other encounters, shall be
broken up. The question of either
breaking her up or of removing her
from the Portsmouth navy-yard to
Washington and converting her into a
naval museum has lately been debated
IN Congress, but as we write no con.
clusion has yet been reached.
OF course the question appears to be
wholly one of sentiment, for no ma
terial use would be served by keeping
the old frigate in existence, and only
expense involved.
But certain sentiments are quite as
useful as any material proceedings
whatever. Sentiments which serve to
nourlsh love of country and build up
the national character are 100 valuable
to measure in dollars and cents. The
rescue of this famous old frigate on
former occasion was worth-through
the poem of Oliver Wendell Holmes
alone, which saved "Old Ironsides." in
1S3O-the equivalent of millions of dol
lars in the bone and sinew of American
patriotism.
Would it not be hard for patriotic
American schoolboy ever again to de-
claim this stirring poem if, after all,
the frigate Constitution should be
broken up and sold for firewood and
old iron?

the campaign was formally opened before
awning decisive was accomplished on
either side.
The victory of the Turks at Matt and
the subsequent evacuation of Tyrnavos
ana Larissa by the Greeks is probably the
beginning of the end. The evacuation of
i>arlssa leaves an open road for the Turk
lsh invasion for nearly half the distance
TO Athens. This does not mean that the
march to Athens will be an easy affair
or speedily accomplished. The Greeks
night desperately in retreat, and when they
have lost one fight they are ready to fight
again. Under these circumstances-with
the reserves reaching the front and the
"hoie population aroused and armed
even the Turkish victory at Larissa will
SIMPLY mean more hard fighting along the
new line of defense which Prince Con
stantine's forces have taken up.
An Athens correspondent believes that
the situation is not yet desperate for
Greece. A brave people that will fight
as they have fought during the past week
are unconquerable in a mountainous coun-
try like the Greek peninsula, except as
the result of long campaign with over
whelmlng forces. If Edhem Pasha's

Paper Bags aud Hard Times.

The manufacture of paper bags is an
industry which depends largely on its
prosperity to a prevailing condition Of
hard times The more stringent the
financial pressure becomes. the more
paper bags are used. In the grocery
stores customers will come in who in
stead of ordering bushel of potatoes,
will order quart of potatoes and carry
them home in a paper bag. Groceries
Of all kinds are purchased in small
quantities, and the paper bag is used
almost exclusively to do up, not only
groceries, but fruit, vegetables and can
dies. A customer in hard times will
drop in and buy half pound of tea. In
a few days he will come again and buy
another half pound. In good times he
would have bought couple of pounds,
and one bag would have wrapped it up.
1t is so with all kinds of groceries and
everything purchasable far which pa
per bags can be USED, and the only real
complaint which will be found coming
from the paper bag manufacturers VIII
be ON the occasion of prosperous times
coming on us again. The paper bag
mills are doing a thriving business
now. and until the growing evidences
OF prosperity eliminate in general re-
sumption of business activity through
out the country, they will not lack TOT
q constant and large demand for thell
goods. But when the mechanic begins
to buy potatoes by the bushel, apples by
the peck, coffee by tive-pound packages
and flour by the barrel. then the paper
bag will hide its diminished head and
be with us once more.
