ment Of triumph bullet struck him in
the head, and like the conquest of Que
bee, it proved a dearly won victory. Six
months later, Lord Byron, another hero
to whom Greece had looked for aid,
died in the beieged town, within a few
feet of where the body of Bozarris had
lain in state.
Then came the heroic sacrifice in the
monastery of st. Nikaloas, on the little
island of Psara. A thousand starving
men and women, besieged for weeks by
5000 Turks, suddenly opened the gates.

But the siege of Missolonghi kept on.
In 1926 Ibrahim Pasha, the son Of Egypts
ruler, attacked it with 10000 men. The
| small outposts were captured with the
greatest danger. one of the Egyptian
generals remarking to Ibrahim after
repulse: ''They are not men; they are
devils. Go and see for yourself"
For twenty days the chief articles OF
food in Missolonghi were sea weeds and
the leather Of shoes, which. softened by
oil, was regarded as delicacy The end
came at last, and in the midst of an
assault a band of 1900 Greeks cut their
way safely through the ranks of the
Turks and Egyptians. Many of these
were women dressed as men, with child
rem strapped to their bancks.
In the ruins Of Missolonghi there were
found 5000 dead.

After 1926 the heroism and martyr
dom Of the Greeks. and especially the
horrors of Missolonghi. called forth the
indignation of Europe. In England
many of the leading men stigmatized the
policy Of the government as unworthy of
their country. In 1925 George Canning
characterized 1t as a monstrosity and
disgrace. Russia and France were made
to sign at London on July 6, 1927, pro-
tocol, in which 1t was agreed that II the
Turkish government within a month
did not consent to a. truce the three
powers would officially recognize the in
dependence Of Greece. Turkey was OBJ
stinate and when the Egyptian fleet
actually fired on the ships of the powers
at Navarino the war was quickly ended
by the complete destruction of the sui
tan's war vessels and the slaughter of
5000 of his men.
That battle saved the honor of the
civilized nations Of Europe, and Greece
became an independent kingdom. The
question now is: Will another Navarino
be necessary to end the trouble officially
begun on Easter Sunday. 1897?

descend from the father to the eldest

the privilege OF nominating his own sue

The visit of the king to the United

EDHEM PASHA
The Romantic Career Of the Turkish
General-His Greek Origin

Edhem Pasha, the commander of the
Turkish army in the present war with
Greece, has had a most romantic and
interesting history. He is not only of
Greek origin, but of Christian parent
age. However, strange to say, he is an
enthusiastic and fanatic Mohammedan
and royal subject Of the present cultan
His change Of religion was caused by
a number of strange circumstances,
which occurred in his youth. He was
born on the beautiful island Of Chic, in
the Aegean sea. This island was IA.
nous in ancient history, and is said to
have been the birthplace of Homer. 1t
Is seven miles from the coast of Asia
Minor and, Is situated on the Gulf of
Smyrna. 1t is known for it's great prod
uctivity, mild climate and natural
beauty.
For centuries Chic has been under
Turkish rule. althugh the largest part
of it's population is Of Greek descent. IN
the many wars and Instructions for
Grecian liberty, the people of this lovely
island have always borne the brunt of
Turkish cruelty and tyranny. This was
especially true in 1922, when the Greeks
began long struggle for freedom. Ed
hem Pasha was then small child. The
inha Of Chic did not participate in
the instructions which occurred in that
year, but were following their usual oc-
cupations. However, body Of revolu-
tionists came from the island of Samos
and landed in Chic. They endeavored
to excite the inhabitants to revolution,
but met with no success. The Chiotes
answered that 1t would be foolish for
them to revolt, because the absence of
a Greek fleet rendered them almost GER
tain prey to the sultan's troops on the
mainland. The Samians, however, re-
fused to obey and laid siege to the cita-
del, then occupied by Turkish garri-
son. The Turkish soldiers were driven
out and the fortress reduced to ashes.
Soon after an army of 1000 Turks, with
a host of fanatical volunteers, landed on
the island. For weeks after the soldiers
and rowing hordes of Ottomans slew, pill
laged and tortured the inhabitants. In
parts OF the island the people took refuge
in the monasteries. but were pursued
and killed by thousands. Even the sick
in the hospitals were not spared. Over
5000 men. women and children wers
killed, 5000 escaped and 1900 were sold
into slavery and glutted the slave mar
kets Of Egypt. Constantinople and OF
Tunia.
