Greece, all of whose traditions are liberty,
may easily involve before it be completed
all Europe in q war between absolutism
and democracy. 1t may result In an upris-
ing throu ghout Europe until every govern
ment eass Of Russia Is rcyOlutionized anS
make liberalism dominant from the Medi
terranean to tho Baltic.
The accompanying map gives q good
general idea Of the country in the neigh
bOrhOod Of the reekTurkish frontier,
where the hostile armies confront one an
other. 1t Is extended south to show the
geographical relations Of Athens and the
present region Of conflict. The frontier
extends from the Ionian sea at the gulf Of
Arta, on the west, to the gulf Of Salonika,
near Mount Olympus, the tabled home of
the old Greek deities, on the east.
In moving the Greek troops to the north
they were embarked ON shipbOard at the
Pireus, the port Of Athens, and sailed
down the gulf of ASgina to the Egean sea,
and then north to the port Of BolOs, also
known as VolO. This port IS connected
with Larissa by rail, and few hours after
landing the troops were In Larissa, the
present headquarters Of the Greek army at
the front. The Turkish city Of SalOnika
has been the gathering point of the Turk
ish fcrces SalOnika Is at the head OF the
gulf Of SalOnika, IS miles northeast Of the
town Of Elassona in Macedonia. ElassOna
Is the headquarters of the Turkish forces
in Macedonia. The Turkish troops have
reached this town and other points along
the Turkish military front by two routes.
A part Of them have gone west by rail to
Verria from SalOnika and then marched
south to ElassOna, a distance OF IS miles.
For some weeks the Turks have had q
very considerable army posted all along
the frontier from Elassona to Janina, with
other forces on the gulf of Arta. The
Greeks have also spread a part Of the
troops they concentrated at Larissa along
the frontier from NezerOs, south Of Mount
Olympus, to the western border OF Thes-
saly. At Grevena in Macedonia the Turks
have had an entire division, including in
fantry, cavalry and artillery, under the
command Of Hakki Pasha. The Greek in
surgents pushed northward nearly to Grew
ena before they we're beaten back.
The most OF Thessaly Is a vast plain
with ranges Of hills. In no other part Of
Greece could troops be SO easily maneu-
yered over SO large territory. Macedonia
and Albania, on the Turkish side OF the
border, on the contrary, are exceedingly
mountainous. As compared with Thes-
saly, the Turks have in their frontier ter
ritory far greater number Of strategic
points that are not difficult to defend.
The main difficulty with all this territory
ON both sides of the border, from q mill
tary point Of view, Is the entire lack OF
good roads. Many Of the roads afording
the only means Of transit are mere bride
paths, and all the roads nre narrow and
In bad condition.
The powers are plainly in alliance with
Turkey in this crisis, but the consciences
and sympathy Of the people are largely IN
favor Of Greece. This latter ally should
not be despised.

f;fc all last summon. Greece sent consid.
erablc aid TO thc Christian Gretans. and
this led Russia and Germany to propose
blockading tho island, but Great Britain
refused to sanction such q scheme, and the
project was therefore abandoned.
A plan Of reforms was agreed upon BY
the powers last September and accepted
BY the sultan. There was to be Chris
tian governor, who should apEoins the
subordinate officials, two thirds of them
Christian and one-third Mussulman, and
other reforms were agreed upon which
promised to be advantageous to the Chris
tian Cretans. For one reason or another,
however, they were NOT carried out. Thus
the present acute crisis ensued, and 1t de-
rivcs its Importance from the Intervention
Of Greece. The annexation of Crete to
Greece has been proclaimed, and Greek
troops have taken possession OF the island,
with the exception Of a few ports which
are held by the fleets Of the powers.
The Inhabitants of Crete, both Chris
tians and Mussulmans, seem to approve of
the annexation, and there is reason to be-
iieve that even the porte itself would not
strenuously object to 1t. But Russia and
Germany have done all in their power to
prevent 1t. The alternative offered IL .
measure Of autonomy. At the beginning
of the year that would probably have been
accepted. Now 1t is regarded with suspi-
cion, as q mere ruse Of the powers to
throw Crete back under unrestrained
Turkish rule.
The Turkish commander Is one Edham
Pasha. He saw service in the TurcO Rus
sian war rs colonel and brigade command
or, but he has had no experience in the
leadership Of . large army. Prince Con-
stantine, the commander Of the Greek ar
my, has military training which Is pure
" that Of the academy and drill ground,
and there seems to be no general under
him who has had different experience.
In numbers tine Turkish army Of advance
is far larger than the Greek forces, and
there Ia reason to expect that the latter
may get the worst of 1t at the outset. The
Greeks, however, have the best reason to
look for efficient help from their large
body Of irregulars, which have been pour.
ing into Macedonia and Epirus. From this
source the tide Of uprising against Turk
ish rule promises to swell into great vol
ume. Other elements that favor the Greeks
are the facts that the fighting will be In
Hellenic territory, which the Greeks know
thoroughly, and the whole OF the nation Is
on fire with passionate enthusiasm.
All that the great powers can do just
at present Is to look on and lOcalize the
conflict as far as it Is possible. But the
issue Is not merely between Turkey and
Greece, nor tho question merely the gov
ernment of Crete. A war between Turkey,

Exhibits Of peculiar interest to wo-
men will be put in charge Of the mana

The railroads in this territory have

double this amount.
The Legislative appropriation will be
available early in July, by which time it
is expected the plane for the state build
ing will be completed.
Estimates already submitted fix the
probable cost of putting the Exposition
grounds in shape for all purposes at
$5OO.OO0. The fence enclosing the
grounds, nearly completed, will be about
five miles in extent.
The contract for grading the lakes and
lagOons Of the Trans Mississippi Expo
sition has been let and the work will be
pushed, the contract requiring that the
work shall bs finished not later than
June .. About $1,000 cubic yards will

portant part in the Greek war Of indc-
pendence, and it would have been made q
part Of the new Hellenic kingdom II tho
European powers had kept their hands oil,
but they insisted In forcing Crete back un-
der the Turkish rule and encouraging
Turkey to retake 1t. After a insurrectiOn
which lasted over three years, and which
cost the Turkish and Egyptian treasures
some $50, ,O0O, 600, scheme of reform
known as the 'organiO statute" was
drawn up. This measure appeared to con-
cede large amount of self government to
the island. 1t gave 1t q legislative assem-
bly, and judicial system of Its own. The
latter, however, was merely mOckery,
and the former was reduced to impotence
by being forbidden even to discuss any
matter which had not previously received
the sanction of the government.
Thus the organic statute proved fail
ure and the island became as discomfort
ed as ever. Another insurrectiOD occurred
In 1878, and in the fall of that year,
through the mediation Of England, COM
pact was drawn up which retained the
general sy stem of the organic statute, but
provided for its more practical application.
This was not satisfactory to the Creslns,
parties Intrigue followed intrigue, and
only one man has had the courage to hold
the Office Of civil governor for full term.
All the others were driven to resign 1t.
A crisis came in 1889. The governor
considered 1t to be his constitutional duty
to bestOw o certain number of appoint
ments on the Liberals, and the Consefva-
tives thereupon took up arms and with
drew to tho mountains. Then the half dor
mant fanaticisM Of the people became
aroused and the island was again plunged
into civil war. In the space OF few
months about 100 Christians and Mussul-
mans were murdered. Nine thousand
dwelling houses, l53 schools, 81 mosques
and IA churches were burned. Property to
the amount of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars worth was destroyed. The insur-
gent Christians, however, got the worst OF
It. The porte coon became master OF the
situation and proclaimed martial law. The
compact Of 1873 was practically Abrogated,
and for the next five years Crete was ruled
automatically by q succession Of Mussul-
man governors.
The attention Of the powers was attract
cd TO the unhappy state Of the island, and
toward the end Of 1894 the porte was in
duced to select Christian named Alexan-
der Karatheod6ry Pasha as governor. He
seemed to be acceptable to both Christians
and Mussulmans. The assembly met
ssaip for the first time since 1889 and
passed some good laws. But these were
vetoed by tho porte, and trouble again be-
gan. Finally in March Of last year the
Christian governor was recalled, and Tur-
khan Pasha, Q Mussulman, was appointed
In his stead. The change seemed to dis
satisfy everybody, Mussulman as well as
Christian. The number Of murders on
both sides increased. Turkhan showed
considerable energy In furnishing the
guilty and in upholding the law, but the
revolt continued, ard disturbances were

The WAR IN THE EAST.
How It Was Finally Brought
About.
SIMPLE STATEMENT OF THE FACTS

Claims Of the Greeks and of the Porte.
The Island Always Storm Center.
WY the So Called Organic Statute
1ailed-Ths Armiess the Cemmandsrs
and the Seat Of War.
The immediate cause OF the war be-
tween Greece and Turkey, according to the
claims of the porte, is due to the action of
the Greek iJrcgulars In penetrating Mace
donia and attacking various minor Turk
ish posts, responsibility for which the
Greek government Gvows. The latter, on
the other hand, lays the onus on the Turks,
who advanced into Thessaly. This result
ed in o sharp conflict between bodies of the
regular troops at the town OF NezerOs,
which lies Immediately under the shadow
Of Mount Olympus, the fabled home Of
the greater gods Of the ancient Greeks.
The Greeks, who must Se considered the
aggressive party, say they sent troops to
the island Of Crete IL c:':- so the Turks he
cause the latter were lnassacring the
Christians. A further cause for the bel
liRerency Is their impatieDce because the
reforms imposed upon Turkey by the great
powers have not been Put into execution.
But Il ID necessary to 60 back much
farther to understand the primary cause
Of this great eastern crisis. Crete was the
last Of the Turkish Conquests In Europe,
having been captured from the Venetians
after q desperate struggle. Like ireland,
Crete was imperfectly conquered at the
beginning, and the Game Of discord has
been kept alive in tho island owing to the
existence of a large minority differing In
creed from the bulk Of the population aPd
long maintained in a privileged position
by the ruling power. A disturbing inf1u.
ence was also exercised from without, Tor
the Greeks Of the mainland have always
fostered the evolutionary element among
their brethren.
Shortly after the Turkish conquests
large number Of the Greek Inhabitants,
through one cause or another-it may
have Leen compulsicn, or possibly 1t was
fear and self interest-embr0ced the creed
of Islam, and Of course thus efectuaily
dissolved all ties Of bleed, language and
tradition. Today the Mussulman Greek
