GREECE ON EVE
OF An UPAEAvAL
Recent Events Are Only the
;. Consequences Of Those in
Past

Greece, though seeming natural to
those acquainted with conditions. both
political and social. among the Greek
people. have startled the outside world
to such an extent as to result in the
publication of the most extraordinary
stories In the columns of the Euro
pean press; some wrongly condemn
ing what is considered in Greece a
natural movement of restoration.
1t Is known. Of course, that in Au-
gust last a military movement broke
out IN Athens resulting in the resig-
nation of the Rails ministry and the
appointment Of a cabinet in favor of
radical reforms, under the presidency
of M. Mavromichalis. It is known al
so that in September an imposing
mass meeting, numbering 100, 900 per-
sons, urged the king to accept a pro-
gram of general reforms in spite of
any opposition from the Greek parli-
ment. AS to the last rebellious out
break In the navy, it needs little con-
slderation. These are the facts, but
they have been insufficiently explain
ed.
The military movement of August
last. when 1t took place, had the mis-
fortune Of being explained by the ma
Jority of the European press as an
ordinary mutiny due to the profess
sional ambitions. of certain officers
OF the Greek army and navy. This
was not the true character OF the
movement. The aim of the Greek off,
GERS was higher and more selfish,
Greece, like every country which has
passed from an extremely despoitc
regime to an extremely liberal gov
ernment, has suffered and still .suf-
fers. from the despotism of political
parties and politicians. .

the protecting powers governor of in
dependent Greece, and, in accordance
with his education, his ideas, and ev-
en- his tastes, he thought the Greek
people, before attaining thoroughly
liberal government, should receive a
political education. The idea was
not unreasonable, but Kapodistria
wanted to enforce 1t by means of a
foreign power. He was assassinated
by Greek liberals.

THE GERMAN
COLONIAL PLAN
!, Wonderful improvements in
e the 4 nondi ! dIitions u Il i !. AfrIcaRe- q
suit From Change

oeIilu' NOV. 1o.-NO German min
lister was ever. more strongly en-.
trenched in popular confidence than
Bernhard Dernberg, the kaiser's colo
NAL secretary. He has not yet con-
verted the German colonies into Ell
Doradoes. They still reveal an insati-
able appetite for subsidies. His de-
tractors keep up an incessant chorus
of abuse and ridicule, but the German
colonial secretary continues to- preach
the doctrine of the fatherland's over
sea future. and every day new adher-
ents rally to his support. He has
made Germany believe in her colonies.
Herr Dernberg entered office in
September, 1906, as the heir of mud
die and failure In colonial administra-
tion. So many bureaucratic Colonial
directors" had viewed the African
protectorates as mere Fairgrounds for
civilian and military martinets that
Germany was heartily sick of colonial
life. She had come to regard the
sand wastes" Of southwest and east
Africa, Togoland and the rest as so
many millstones around the imperial
neck. Dernberg's first task was to
bring order out of administrative
chaos. an easy task for a man of his
aggressive temperament, with no ia
vorites TO play or precendents to wor-
ship. But a still tougher problem lay
before him-to bring home to the
German people the economic worth of
their African possession and to arouse
healthy interest to their development.
His opportunity. came before he had
been at the colonial Office six months.
The general election precipitated by
the reichstag's revolt on colonial es-
Inmates found Dernberg on the hust-.
ings as the governments chief pro-
tagontst. To crowded audiences in all
parts of the empire the young Ameri-
can-trained commoner-banker pro-
claimed his faith in the colonies in
such businesslike, convincing facts
and figures that colonial-tired Ger.
many became colonial-mad.
Studied Conditions in Africa.
Herr Dernberg assumed office with
q national reputation for "rucksicht-
siosigkeft" untranslateable Ger
man idiom most nearly approached by
our "ruthlessness" acquired as q
bank manager In special field of reor-
ganizing tottering and half defunct
concerns. In his case It
meant brutal disregard of bureau
cratic precedents. He had broken

New Orleans, Nov. ga cablS
from Panama says:
Letters written at Managua and

the first authentic news in several
days from the capitol of Nicaragua.
The letters state that President Zela-
va has surrounded himself with a
strong guard of picked loyalis4s and
the presidential palace is a fortress.
All the shops are closed at sunset.
The crowds that gather on the streets
are dispersed with bayonets. The
Jafls are overfiowing and many pris-
oners are being guarded in other
buildings. 1t is impossible to COM
municate with the outside world from
Managua, either by mail or telegraph
except by permission of the govern
ment. and lately that permission has
not been given to any one. Any mail
deposited in. or arriving at the
Managua postoffice is opened and in
spected by the government. No for
eign newspapers are allowed to pass
through the Managua postoffice since
the revolution broke out. When q
message is filed at a telegraph office

dental palace for Zelaya's inspection.
Even the messages filed by the diplo-

Washington, Nov. 26.-The state de-

from the American vice consul at

inference is that his dispatches have

officials under President Zelaya, at
least to the extent of cutting the tele-

SUES CITY FOR
CH|LD'S INJURIES
Infant Was Injured by PIastering
Which Fell From a Building Into
the Streets of Natchez.

Natchez, September 19.-Mrs. Fred
trick Hoops, of this city, has filed suit
through her attorney, Chas. F. Engle,
against the city of Natchez for $4,000
damages for injuries received by her
infant son on the streets of Natchez
in April, 1909, when plaster fell on
the child's head from the brick build
ing on the northeast corner of Frank
lin and Wall streets.
1t is alleged the plaster on the
building had been loose and falling off
daily for more than six months. 1t
is further alleged the city authorities
had been notified that the sidewalk
was unsafe for pedestrians on account
of the dangerous condition Of the plas-
ter, and the city failed to have the
defect remedied. One day last April,
while passing, the child was struck
on the head by large piece of fall
ing plaster, deep cash was sustained
which caused intense suffering for
| several months. The child still suf
| fers occasional nervous attacks as a
result of thes injuries. The suit
will be brought before the October
