THE GREEK VIEW OF THE T4R.

The interviews with Greek Ministers pub
lshed this morning throw some important light
upon the state of the war. They reflect the hope
fitness and the courage of the Greeks. But they
do not afford much ground for confidence In
Greek success or even in further effective re-
sistance to the Turkish invasion. First in in
tcrcSt is the Prime Minister'S statement that
General Smolcnskfs column has reached Phar
salOs That is the army which so Subborny
held Reveni Pass. menaced Damasi and prom
ised 10 strike at ElassOna and cut off the Turkish
Ines at the rear. II is gratifying to know it is
safe. But the fact that it is at PharSalOS shows
that Reveni Pass and all other points the
border have been abandoned by the Greeks. and
that there is no force left there 10 menace the
rear Of the Turkish Army. NJ Delyannis's state
ment that Greek successes in Eprus counter
balance the losses in Thessaly is not convincing.
There have been no Greek successes there COM
parable in magnitude and importance with those
Of the Turks in 'rhcSsaly The capture of Janina
would moi begin 10 compensate for the loss OF
Larissa. The complete conquest OF Epirus by
the Greeks would not for one moment check the
advance Of The Turks in Greece.
The Minister OF Marine says that the Greek
feet. instead Of attacking Salonica has gone in
search of the Turkish fleet. Wherefore: The
Turkish feet is in the Bosporus TO seek it
there would be foolhardy, and to seek it else
where would be wild goose chase If the
Greek feet should lombard Saonica and drive
out the Turkish garrison it would infict the
greatest possible blow upon the Turks If il
does not do so all else II may or may not do will
be Of minor account. Unless indeed it defends
Volo. The Minister Of Marine says ii will not
be needed for that purpose. Yet others are say
ing NolO is safe because the feet will protect IT,
At this distance it is not easy 10 see how Volo

no considerable garrison or fOrtlications And
the loss Of il would be far more serious than

That the Turks will attack it, rather than Phar-
salos. seems altogether probable It's possession
would be far more valuable 10 them; II could
probably be captured much more easily; and
they are now nearer 10 it and have a better road
by which TO get to II than 10 Pharsalos
The Greeks now suffer the DISADVANTAGE Of
having much longer line to defend than they
had last week. Then they had to defend only
the one point, Larissa. So long as they held II
all south OF it was safe. Now they mus, defend
the whole long line from Trikhala TO Volo

TIE NEW POLICE ONMISSIONER.


The profound depression of spirits which over
came Mr.. Edward Lauterbach when he learned
that Mayor Strong had appointed Mr.. Moss n
Police Commissioner was not generally shared
by his fellow citizens. The selection. however,
did naturally cause considerable surprise. and II
Is probably true that a good many persons not
connected with the Republican machine were mt
first inclined to doubt the fitness of Mr.. Roose-
velts successor for that particular place. 1t
was intimated that his discretion was not equal
10 his zeal--in fact. that he was rather cranky.
1t is proper therefore, as well as pleasant, TO say
that thus far. under circumstances of special
embarrassment. such as would have been likely
10 betray an infrm judgment and an erratc
temper Mr. Moss has shown excellent sense.
He has been perfectly cool. quiet and courteous,
evidently anxious to avoid unnecessary contro-
versy and 10 carry on the ordinary business OF
the Police Board in an efficient manner. while at
the same time he has evinced complete under
standing of the situation into which he was sud
denly introduced. He is apparently we'll able
to take care of himself and Of the interests which
he was appointed To guard.
The new Commissioners demeanor at yes
terday's nharmonious meeting of the Board was
creditable TO his disposition as well as to ms
sagacty He did not carry chip on his shout
der or knock one off the shoulder of anybody
else He did the things which he felt it right to
do. and he did them in the right spirit, making
several soft answers to turn away wrath and
producing a favorable impression on those pres
ent including, we trust, his colleagues.
