reason. The result finally was that OF
the ia Christian Deputies only 59, or
only two more than half. attended the
sitting. and of them 55 voted to let
the Moslems take their seats. Inc
other four voted against 1t. and 1t is IN
derstood that every other one or the aD-
sentees was also against IT; which, II
true, means that on full vote the Chris
t1ans would stand SO to 55 against seat
ing their Moslem colleagues.
Having thus voted, however. and hav-
ing thus permitted the Moslem Deputies
to take their seats, the Assembly ad-
journed for four months. When 1t re-
assemblies the question Of seating the
Moslems will come up again, with an
ominous likelihood Of being decited the
other way Nor are we sure Of even four
months respite, for the general elections
in Greece for the National Assembly OF
that kingdom will occur next month.
Mr.. venizelos, the Cretan anne1ationist
leader, says that he will not be candi-
date, but there is no assurance that all
Cretans Will follow his example. On the
contrary, it 1s quite likely that II they
are left to themselves the Christian Gre
tans will elect full set Of Deputies to
the Greek Assembly, IS though Crete
were a part Of Greece. II SO, and II
they are received and seated at Athens,
Turkey will declare war against Greece,
while If they are not received there will
be grave danger Of an insurrection If not
a revolution in Greece It would seem
to be time for the powers to exercise
all possible influence, even with navy
and army, to retain the obsueperous
Cretans within bounds Of reason.

Indignation over the appropriation Of

have been caused. be 1t remembered not
by the well known gentleman primarily

fantastic notion that the able bodied

is the counterpart Of the able bodied

a greater revolution in working condi-
tions in the last century than In that Of
the man-of wars man. In the era Of sail

now he is a worker In a machine shop.
Formerly his lot was one of the hardest
under the sun, and in most navies the
scum of the seven seas served under
the flag. held to duty by the most rigor-
Gus discipline. The press gang recruited
thousands, and shiftlessness and poverty
kept other thousands In a status of al
most involuntary servitude Now enlist
ment in the navy is not only voluntary,
but high standards Of eligibility exclude
the vagrant and the irresponsible. Work
aboard ship demands alertness, sobr1ety
and intelligence. and the seaman Of the
modern navy has become mechanic and

THE eRETAN CRISIS NOR OYER.


The marked interest in Cretan affairs
which was felt in this country a genera
ton ago, when the Cretan question was
esteemed to be, and, ind ced, largely was,
the question Of freeing Christians from
Moslem oppression, probably still sur
wives to some extent, even now that the
question has entirely changed and has
become one partly Of protecting the Mos
lem minority from Christian oppression
and partly OF restraining restless and
ambitious politicians from plunging that
part Of the world into a wholly needless
and unjustifiable war; but if il is as
sympathetic toward the Cretans as 1t
once was the fact gives cause for
wonder
The serious crisis In Cretan affairs
which was recently remarked upon has
been said to have passed It has not,
but has merely been postponed, with a
strong probability that it will eventually
be all the worse for the delay. 1t arose
over the organization OF the insular AS
sembly and the question whether the
Christian majority would permit the
Moslem minority-whOse titles were as
good as the former's--to be seated. It
was openly boasted that they would not
permit 1t, and the four great powers
were much troubled and exercised all
possible pressure short Of purely physical

ON THE WATCH.

Who will watch the watchmen?' says
the cynical Latin proverb. over ID
Queens Borough the local administra-
problem successfully There they put
watchmen on the city payroll to watch
one another and see that no harm be-
falls any too isolated member of the hon
orable guild. The Queens watchmen are
watchmen once removed. What they
guard is Of little consequence. report
Just made to Controller Prendergast
shows that several able-bodied Gus
todians were assigned to keep an eye on
an open yard in which two road rollers,
each weighing about ton, were stabbed.
Ostensibly their vigilance was centred
oD preventing the steam rollers from be-
ing stolen by some miscreant with
enough horsepower or steam power at
his command to move them away. Real
ly. however they merely did one an
other a brotherly service in dispelling
the terrors of ennui and solitude.
According to the report made to the
Controller, there are five foremen and as
sistant foremen detailed at one centre OF
civic activity in Queens Borough to SUI
pervise the labors of nine workmen. 1t
may make the workmen nervous to per
form under so many critical eyes. But
it means a grateful relaxation Of soul to
the guardians of the public interest, who
can thus foregather and exchange expert
ences. Nobody is so lonely as watch
man 1t is pleasing to know that in
Queens he does not bear the burden Of
isolation uncontrolled and alone
The Queens watchmen seem to be
about as skilled experts in the art Of
turning mere time into money as the city
now has in its employ. It has had 9th
ers worthy of honorable mention. But
Colonel Mike" Padden, the best Water
Register" and, perhaps, the most ingen-
ious time killer Manhattan ever put on
it's payroll, is now off the job. His har-
Dor cruising yacht, the Antietam, with
its silverware and furnishings has been
sent to the auction block. 1t is unfortu-
nate that Colonel Padden and the
Queens watchers never got together. 1t
would have been an even more ideal job
for them to sit on the cabin of the la
mented Antietam and see that no harbOr
pirates cut her from her mooringS. We
trust that their efforts to serve the city
and to illustrate the niceties of the craft
which they ornament will not meet as
sad q fate as Colonel Mixes

FOR RELIGIOUS FRATERNITY
The Rev. DR.. J. B. Hamilton Thinks It
More Promising than Unity Movement

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Two religious movements OF moro
than ordinary importance have oeen pto-
jected recently. One. having been lesaAS III
corporated, has just issued very piedsins
and attractive prospectus in the daily press
It is an attempt to realize THE Holy
Dream" of the ages by gathering lnto
one fold all Christian sects. The promoters
are all from one Of the many sects and VIII
doubtless begin at once a propaganda to IN
duce some one sect to admit theirs and thus
accomplish the first stage OF unity.
The other dream is that of young man
who has had a call to go to Jerusalem 10
Christianize the Jews. When he was asked
why his work must begin at Jerusalem HI
stead of New York. the greatest Jewish city
In the word, he nafvely REPLIED Nothiis
can be- done with the Jews in this country
It will be believed by most thoughuul per-
sons that both dreams will mater1anze
abo,,t the same time It is interesting to
note that the projectors do not anticipate
immediate achievement.
While the religious world is waiting with
anxious interest for the gold at the foot OF
these rainbows it might be well TO en-
deayor to secure lesser good and estao-
lish religious fraternity. Why not issue a
call to all who worship the God Of the Bloie
to ion hands and call each other brotner /.
The platform of the new movement neeo
not be extended Thou shalt love thy Goa
with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thy-
SELF will do An ancient rule Of practlce'
What YOU do not like when done to your
self do not do to others will suffice
Some slight changes in methods ana prac-
tices will be essential to general success
Movements to win volunteers from one OF
Gods armies to another would neeo TO
cease. The Cagerness with which local con-
gregations seek to build up themselves oy
drawing from each other rather than from
the outside might have to be curta1leo JUST
hack of the neck. The improvidence and
folly of several societies competing with
each other to occupy small and barren
field. while the world has many millions
who have never yet heard the name OF
God. might be exchanged for the Thrift anu
wisdom of unity and concerted EFFORT
AS this dream begins to unfold itself the
writer is tempted to solicit the co-opera-
tion of a Jewish rabbi and a Catholic priest
in preparing the prospectus OF the ne"
movement. Would ii also be dismissed as
q dream? Or would it be regarded as an
attempt to put into brotherly practice the
gentle hint, He that is not against us Is
for us~ JAY BENSON HAMILTON.

WHAT IT MEANS TO THE POLES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: On the 18th of the month there
fell the 5o0th anniversary OF the pat
tie of Cr,1nwald, in which the forces OF
King Jaxieuo Of Poland and his COUSIN
Duke Witold of Lithuania, vanquished the
forn,ida bic Teutonic Order, religious mil
tary body that had been given hospitality
on Polish soil, but which aimed TO pulid
I'D on that soil a state Independent OF
the Polish republic. But from the oio" oe-
Iivered to 1t on July 10, 141O. at Grun"aio'
when eighteen thousand of the knlehts'
with their grand master, ulrich Won jung
i,eer we're left dead on the field of battle,
while fourteen thousand were made prison
ers Of war, the Teutonic Order never re-
covered On April 10, 1875, in he market
place of Cracow. the Polish. capital, It's
last grand master, Albert Duke of Bran
oenburg, rendered the oath of fidelity TO
King Sigismund of Poland. All Poi1sh
hearts to-day are full of veneration and
alteration for King Ladisaus Jagielio, the
victor of Grunwald, and wherever there
resounds the Polish speech one hymn ana
one prayer to-day rises 20 the gates OF
Heaven blessed be thou for Grunwaid.
Had the Teutonic Order not fallen at the
feet of L4adislaus Jagiello, had the hydra
Of which born the ldtef fTuSsiaii
kingdom not been crushed under the hoofs
of the Polish steeds the German deluge
would have effaced Polonism from Poland
as 1t had obliterated the Western Slavon-
ians on the Elbe. the Spree and the Oder.
Without Grunwald Poland would not have
been Poland.
For it must be remembered that the
Poland which made its stand ON the field
Of Grunwald for a decisive battle with the
Teutonic Order was the Poland that was
barely emerging from the cradle of its
existence the Poland that did not yet
have the f1ourishing Cracow University. the
higher state of culture. the Augustan age
of literature. Such a nation, if thrown at
the feet of a conqueror it would have been
easy to bereave of all the characteristics
of independence, OF nationality.
The Grunwald celebration. therefore.
mean. to the Poles a concentration OF the
thoughts In the presence of the great an
niver.ary of the securing Of the foundations
of the national existence.
