Only One Symptom. Says Ex-Attache. of the
Extraordinary Ineptitude of Modern Greeks
for Governing Their Native Land.

Copyright. 1910 by the Brentwood Company
Greeks in the United States and IN
other countries outside of their own dis
NAV so many qualities of good citizen
shin that one would be almost tempted
"a ba1ieve from the present condition of
affairs az Athens, that all the better ele-
ruent OF the nation had quilted Its
native land in disgust. leaving only the
rir-raff az home. In New York, in Lon
don. in Paris, at Alexandria and, above
all. at Constantinople the Greek colonies
command the respect and good will Of
the authorities and OF the population.
In these cities they have won name for
integrity and orderIiness in their busi-
ness dealings as well as a place in the
very front rank of the great houses of
banking and of commerce. Under the
circumstances il is altogether amazing
that the Greeks who have remained in
the land Of their birth should display
such an extraordinary ineptitude in the
MANAGEMENT of their affairs-an inepti-
tude so great as to render the very name
Of the Greek government and of the
Greek legislature subjects of ridicule and
contempt abroad.
Chaos has reigned in King Georges
donlinions for some months past. That
is nothing new, and the remainder Of the
civilized world would be perfectly con-
tent TO allow Greece to stew, figuratively
speaking. in her own juice. wholly indif-
ferent TO her fate. were il not for two
things. The lesser Of these two is the
dopenr N +hcsa monuments Of tna cla 9
sic times Of which the Greeks of to-day
are the wholly unworthy custOdians. and
which cannot be considered in the light
Of purely Hellenic possessions, as they
seem 70 believe, but which belong to the
entire civilized universe.
Experience of the past has shown that
the degenerate descendants of Themis-
tocles, Phidias, Agamemnon, Alcibiades
and Leonidas are only toe inclined to
turn q dishonored penny by selling the
art treasures Of the country to any one
willing to pay the price, pulling down
temples and monuments for the purpose
and putting the stones that are not thus
disposed Of 10 base uses or leaving them
10 neglect. Apparently they have no
reverence for the past, and are even
ready. like the anarchists, to destroy for
the pure joy Of destruction, since pro-
posals 10 blow up the Acropolis, at
Athens, with dynamite have been re-
peatedIy heard amid all the foolish raw
ings that have been uttered at Athens
during the last few months.
But Of even still graver concern is the
growing peril of another great interna-
tional crisis, such as that which brought
Germany and Austria 70 the very brink
OF d war with Russia a year ago, being
evolved from the present situation at
Athens 1t is not alone that all law and
order is set at just as much defiance in
civil life as is discipline in the army

CHARGES OF INTRIGUING.

Greeks, in fact, are bringing against
their sovereign charges akin to those on
the strength of which the French revolu-
tionists in the last decade of the
eighteenth century sent Louis XVI and
Queen Marie Antoinette to the scaffold-
namely. that of intriguing with foreign
governments, to the detriment of their
own country, with a view to the recovery
of their authority and power Not that
King George is likely to be guillotined.
But he runs a very fair chance of being
assassinated by some hOt-headed fanatic
who has been taught to see in him a
traitor TO the national cause and an OBJ
stacle to the fulhlment of national as
pirations Or else he may be deposed
and turned out of the country by the
league.
It has been suggested that the failure
of the loan negotiations might have the
result of bringing about the victory of
the King over the league. But this is
improbable, for the reason that George
is known to constitute, under existing
circumstances, an obstruction TO the in
corporation of Crete into Greece-an in
corporation upon which all Greece and
Crete are determined. coute que coute.
The league stands for the fulflment of
these national aspirations, no matter
how much the people may object to It's
methods and to it's tyranny.
Matters are bound to come to head
this month at Athens. and those who
have made a most careful study of the
situation are convinced that the league
will carry the day that it will force
upon the government the acceptance of

HEAT WAVE IN SWITZERLAND.

experienced in December since 17H

powerless TO resist the Military League;
the Boule torn asunder into innumerable
small factions. all at war with one an
other; the taxes unpaid and the treasury
empty. But it is the inconceivable reck-
lessness with which the people of every
class and rank are apparently ready to
embark upon a war with Turkey, which
can only result in a disaster to their
arms, even far greater than that of
thirteen years ago. Then, as to-day,
Crete was the cause of the conflict, and
the action of the Cretan Assembly in
arranging for the election of Deputies to
the Greek parliament and the announce
ment that the island must henceforth be
governed from Athens cannot fail to
bring Turkey on to the warpath if there
is the slightest inclination On the part of
Greece TO take advantage of the situa-
ton.
The BOule reaches the termination of
its four years legislative mandate this
month. General elections will follow i'm
mediateIy throughout the kingdom, and
the representatives of tie Cretan people
are to be sent TO the new parliament
at Athens. The Sublime has al
ready notified Greece that in the event
of the Cretan Deputies being recognized
by the new BouIe and seats accorded to
them il will be construed at Constantin-
Ople as a casus belli. On the other hand,
the Greeks are not in a mood to defer
TO the views of Turkey in the matter 0r
to listen to the warnings of the foreign
powers and of their representatives.
Divided upon almost every other ques-
ton, there is one issue upon which all
rival factions save the court party ap-
pear united-namely, the admission Of
Crete as part and parcel of the Kingdom
of Greece Already. a year ago, Crete
declared its union with Greece. Only by
means of the utmost pressure on the part
OF King George an1 of the foreign en-
vOys at Athens was the acceptance Of
the Cretans' pronouncement declined. for
the time being, by the Hellenic govern
ment But it was understood by the
people that this rejection was merely
temporary: just long enough to enable
the King to secure through his relatives
among the reigning houses of Europe
and through his royal and imperial in
fuences abroad the sanction of the great
powers to the incorporation Of Crete as
part and parcel of Greece.

The powers were at first disposed to
defer TO King Georges arguments, but
found themselves somewhat unexpected
ly confronted by the stand taken by the
new regime at StambouI, which declared
that sooner than surrender any bit Of
Ottoman territory to Greece it would go
to war. The powers realized that a war
of that kind would in a measure be well
coined by the Sultan, since it would have
the effect of uniting all the races sub
ject to his rule in the defence of the

Detectives employed by the Califor-
MIA bankers association succeeded in
trapping Walker, alias T. A Bowles,
alias Harvey Monnig, yesterday, after
he, with two confederates, had sue
ceeded in swindling a majority of the
local savings banks out of small sums.
Police Detectives Murphy and Bell had
been waiting for the trio also. and it
was they who landed the supposed
leader behind the bars Walkers
method was simple, but he is said by
the police to have worked the savings
banks up and down the entire coast.
About two weeks ago Walker depos-
tied 800 in coin with the international
banking corporation and was given
check book. In less time than a week
he withdrew the deposit, but withheld
the check book. He then made small
cash deposits with several savings
banks ranging from $50 to 500 and
tried to draw against the checks. He
succeeded with the San Francisco saw
ings union and, it is said, with the
Mutual savings bank and the Hibernia
savings and loan society.
During all of this time the bankers
association had been on the lookout for
him, and when he entered the Savings
and Loan bank yesterday to deposit
check on the International and draw
against it the police effected his cap
ture, but not without a struggle. 1t

CORPORATIONS BLAMED
FOR HIGH PRICES
Food Products Trust Accused
by Ohio Grocer

CLEVELAND, April 1.-THE high
cost of living in Ohio and elsewhere is
directly due TO an arbitrary scale of
prices enforced by the big food products
corporations, according to testimony
given here today before the legislative
committee investigating food prices.
Edward w. Klaustermeier president
of the Ohio retail grocers' association,
was the principal witness. He said
grocers were unable to make any profit
on 20 per cent of merchandise bought
from food products corporations.
They were therefore compelled to
charge high prices for raw materials
in which they dealt
