Strategic Points Used by the Ancients
and MOderns.
From the New York Tines.
1t is in a theater of old wars and amid
scenes made familiar to all the world
through classic story that the Turk and the
Greek are contending.
Pharsalos, to which the Crown Prince
Constantine has retreated from Larissa, Is
the ancient Pharsalia in name, but not in
site. lying some eight miles to the south
west of the battle ground where Julius Cae-
sar overcame Pompey in 4S B. C. Pompey's
troops on that occasion retreated to Laris-
ga, rev ersing the movement made by the
Greek troops on Friday
Edhem Pasha invaded Greece by the very
pass through which Xerxes led his immense
Persian army in 4SO c. Milouna pass is
that pass by Petra, Pythium and Oloo-
son." referred to by Grote and mentioned
by Livy. The Greeks had expected xerxes
to enter the Thessalian plain by the way
OF the vale of Tempe. between Olympus and
Ossa. and they occupied that pass. But
when the Macedonian king privately sent
them word that xerxes was to come by the
other pass, west OF Olympus, they gave up
the plan of meeting him on their northern
frontier. II they had made a stand against
him In Milouna pass they might have kept
him out Of their country and have saved
Athens. just as Constantine would have
averted all danger to Greece II he had been
aDle 10 keep Edhem PaSha north OF the
mountains.
Since nc has let Larissa go so cheaply 1t
Is not likely that in his weaker position at
Pharsales he will offer an effective resist
ance to Edhem. But this time there will be
no TheEmopylae. In the first place. the
road the victorious Turks will take toward
Athens. II the fortunes of war allow them
to take any, does not run through the IA
nous pass where Leonidas and his 800
Spartans held out SO valiantly against
Xerxes From Zeitun to the west of the
Maltc gulf, q government road runs d.
rectly to Athens. But what Is more to the
point. there Is no longer pass at Thermo-
pylae. AS Herodotus describes 1t. there was
barely room for q wagon road between
Mount Oeta and the shore of the gulf, so
that but three or four Of Leonidas' Spartans
could fight abreast. In 300 years the al
luvial deposit brought down by the Sper-
cheios has filed in the gulf far from the
now seen where Leonidas kept the pass.
The hot springs which gave the place the
name Of the "hot gates" still flow, how
ever. The changed shore line and the con-
struction OF new roads west Of the noun
tain have destroyed this most famous of
classic battle grounds: Here It was that
the Aetolians met Philip, that Antiochus
contended with the Romans. and the Greeks
with Brennus and the Gauls. The treachery
OF Ephialtes, who showed Xerxe1 q noun
tain path that enabled him to get In the
rear OF the Spartans, was initiated in some
OF the later conflicts. and with the same
results.

AT THE MOTHERS. CONVENTION.
1t Took n Notary to Tell who Were
Delegates.

From the Chicago Post
The presiding officer OF the mothers con-
vention looked decidedly uncomfortable.
and coughed in q deprecatory sort Of way
behind her hand as she looked over the
assemblage. Then, instead OF calling the
convention to order. she sat down and en-
tered into an animated conversation with
two or three OF the other officers. 1t was
evident that they were endeavoring TO con-
vince her Of her duty in the premises and
that she did not wish to be convinced.
Finally. however. she sighed. bowed to their
will and rose again.
Ladies'" she said. and she looked rather
sharply at a little. group near the door.
''as you all know. presumably. this Is a
mothers convention, and while II is not
absolutely essential that every one here
shall be or have been a mother, II Is highly
important, in order that there may be per-
, feet freedom of debate in the matter OF the
training of children, that there should at
least be remote possibility that every
one here may be mother AT some future
time"
She paused and looked little more un-
comfortable than before.
Heretofore" she went on at last. this
matter has been easily settled to the salts
faction of all concerned and at the con-
clusion of roll call We have entered into
a discussion of the danger of tutt frutti
when given to children at improper times
without the slightest fear that our deiiber-
ations might be affording amusement to
some one who, on account of sex. really
had no right to be present 1t was. / may
say. a comparatively simple matter to dis
tinguish those who were entitled to be pres
ent from those who were not"
There was another brief interval OF ST.
lence. during which every woman in the
place looked suspiciously at every other
woman.
To-day. however" she continued. ''in
view Of the fact that II is sometimes diff
hcult to distinguish bloomers from the
can no longer be relied upon, we have de-
cided to call in a notary and let all women
In bifurcated costumes swear themselves
into the convention. which will be such q
manly way OF doing things that II really
ought to fiatter them"
