For ''gollies' We are strong! =
Well kick and scratch and bite l.r.

Oh say can't be beat
When parade an Olmitz street.
The BOYS living north of Olmitz
sing this little song in reply to the
above:
oh hear them hoodluma singing
They say they are an upper crust
But If they'll give us boys call
Their pumpkin heads we'll bust
They're only full Of "bug-juice"
They don't know what they say
And if we'd startt fight them
They'd all of them run away.
So let the blamed fools boiler,
We love to hear them brag;
But if black eyes is what they want
Just let them show their rag
Altho' they call us buns and toughs
They by it gain no fame
They'll always find us TO the front,
And Well get there just the same.

CHRISTIANITY DID IT..
Members Of Greek Cabinet Express Opinions
on Causes OF Defeat


New York, May N.-The World prints
q cable dispatch from its correspondent
at Athens giving signed statements by
members of the Greek ministry regard
ing the failure Of the war against the
Turks. That from Prime Minister Ralli
says: Greece should not be censured
for the inactivity of the navy, nor should
the great powers be blamed. They did
not restrain our ships. Christianity did.
Had we bombarded the seaports OF
Turkey and the Aegean islands the
Turks would have massacred the Chris
tians as they did the Armenians. Could
we have used the navy the result Of the
war would have been different. The
powers know our poverty. i do not fear
an unjust decision"
M. Skouloudis minister Of foreign af-
fairs, writes: Greece had no national
grievance against Turkey, and without
any laundering interference the Cretan
affair could have been quietly settled
by the two interested parties. But
Europe gave the patriotic society
chance to agitate and forced unprepared
Greece into a disastrous war. The for
rner ministry weakly opposed the course,
but had not the courage to resign. ex-
pected the result We have been beaten
by superior Turkish numbers and su-
perior foreign strategy, and must now
make the best of it,
M. Thmadhos minister Of war, after
noting the inferiority of Greece in num-
bers and resources, says: Greece can
not yield Turkey the frontier strategic
points demanded. Brigands would use
them to ravage Thessaly, and new de-
fenseS cost much"

which presumably gives an indication
of future bahots. The question passed
upon was unimportant, except to show
the alignment OF the different parties on
the measure.
Mr.. Vest of Missouri, a Democratic
member Of the finance committee, moved
to make the rate on boracic acid cents
instead of cents per pound. as provided
by the committee. This presented d.
rect issue between the committee and
the opponents of the bill. The amend
ment was defeated, yeas, 20; nays, "a.
The vote Was largely on party lines. The
affirmative was made up of 10 Demo-
Gratis and Populist, Heitfeld. The mega
tive was made up OF 20 Republicans, 2
Democrats, McEnery OF Louisiana and
White OF California: 2 silver Republi-
cans, Cannon of Utah and Jones OF Ne
vada, and i Populist Stewart of Ne
vada.
The debate vas participated I'm by
Senators Vest (Ark.). Aldrich, Perkins,
White. Caffery, Gray and Stewart. Mr..
White, a Democratic member of the
france conxnittee, opposed Mr.. Vests
amendment, urging that the California
industry required the rate allowed by
the committee.
Seven paragraphs Of the bill were con-
sidered during the day. the committee
being sustained in each instance.
The resolution was agreed to authoriz-
ing the secretary of the navy to employ
any suitable ship in forwarding relief
supplies to India.

AnMISTICE PROLONGED
Eultan's Advisors Will Not Discuss
RetrocessiOn Of Thessaly.
All Other Questions Left to
Powers Consideration
Turkey Mas Sent Fifty thousand More Troops
10 tho Frontier.

London, May 27.-The correspondent
Of The Standard at Constantinople says:
The council Of ministers has decided 10
prolong the armistice. 1t will refuse
even to discuss the retrocession OF Thes-
sally, but will leave the other points for
consideration to the powers. So far as
the note to the European arbitrators is
concerned there can be no doubt that
whether the sultar Is only blufiing or is
the victim of popular pressure, peace
such as Europe expects cannot be ar
ranged without the risk of the gravest
complications.
The grand vizier on Saturday pre-
sented a report to the sultan urging tn At
the wheel OF Islam was fully determined
to retain Tfessaly, and added: Your
majesty proved victorious in Armenian
! and other sxars when you firmly re-
fused to be dictated to by Europe. There
fore you should be equally firm on this
occasion. But If my views are unpala-
table to your majesty beg of you to ac-
cept my resignation"
1t now appears that the armistice was
originally for three days only and moth
ing but the energy of the powers Sc
| cured an extension for fortnight. The
story is current that wounded Turkish
soldier at the Yildiz hospital, on being in
vited by the sultan to proffer dying re-
| quest, implored him not to yield up Thes-
sally. The. sultan grew, pale and. his eyes
| filed with tears.
