The battle OF NavariEo. which was
fought on October %. ls27, was one Of
utmost Importance TO the civilization
OF Europe, and brought about the
achievement Of Greek Independence. The
town Of Nayarlno, on the bay Of that
name, rightfuuy belonged 10 Greece, but
The Turks had held il for more than
three centuries. In 1921 1t passed into
the hands OF the Greeks, but only tenn

The Greeks and Turks have always
been bitter enemies. and the latter had
so cruelty and shlmefuly encroached
upon their little neighbors. that for
close 10 a hundred years the Greek
patriots had been preparing FOR strug-

Of She Turks was Death 10 the Chris

At this time there was a strong English
fleet IN the Mediterranean under Admiral
Sir Edward Codrington. and a French

held a conference, and notified Ibrshim
Pasha that he must stop the barbarities
of plundering and burning villages and
slaughtering their Inhabitants.
Ibranim would not listen 20 their re-

Turkish navy should clear the Gulf Of
Patras Of every Greek man-o-war. A

FORECAST GIVES G.. O.P.
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE
Election Will Show Repub-
IicanS Ahead by Two or
Three Votes, Predicts
the Success Magazine.

The next House of Representatives
viii be almost exactly in even balance,
according 10 poll made by the Success
Magazine. The probabilities are slightly
in favor OF Republican majority of two
or three, but it is impossible to predict
with certainty at this writing which OF
the two parties will organize the House.
There will be a large increase in the
Democratic membership but there will
be no Democratic landslide"
The explanation OF this rather unex-
pected result appears TO be that the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party
has come into power at primaries in a
very, large proportion Of the Republican
districts. while in many of the districts
where the standpat element retains
control of the Republican machine, the
normal Republican plural!ties are so
large that the standpat candidates are
likely 10 succeed. although by greatly
veduced majorties. Both wings of the
party are now diligently engaged in their
historic occupation of "burying the
hatchet"
In other words the heretofore gem
orally expected Democratic success in
the closer districts Of tile country has
been put in jeopardy by the nomination
OF more or less popular insurgent Re
publican candidates. and information re-
ceived indicates that there will Toe little
Republican boiling in such districts.
This, in brief, is the result Of the eX-
haustive investigation OF local political
conditions Just made by. Success Nigga
zine among the membership OF It's aux
ili2Ty editorial board Of life subscribers
Nearly 5000 out of the 25.O0O members
have instantly responded 10 requests for
this information in a clear. specific.
frank, and most interesting manner, and
it is impossible to doubt the conclusions
reached.
The extraordinary ClOseness Of this
coming contest is shown by our predic-
ton that lGS districts will certainly be
represented by Democrats. and q more
Will probably be Democratic. giving a
total reasonably sure Democratic party
bership of lS3; while the Republican party
will certainly elect 100 members. and
VIII probably elect % more giving a Tea-
sonably sure total of lS9-exactly the
same number.
Thirteen Seats In Doubt.
There are thirteen districts in the coun-
try in which there is so even balance
Of probabilities that We cannot possibly
predict the result without resorting to
mere guesswork These thirteen districts
next House will probably be settled, are
the following.
The Tenth Boston, district of Massa-
ohusetts, now represented by a Democrat
tOCOnnelD. who won the last election
by four votes only out Of 5000 cast
The TWenty-third albany district OF
New York, now represented by a Repub-
lean (Southwick), who won the last cleo
ton by 5s5 votes out Of $1,000 cast.
The Second New Jersey district. now

who led the Tammany forces supporting
cannon, are virtually certain OF re-elec-
/ tion' but by materially reduced major
tiles. In the Thirteenth district. now rep
| resented by Herbert Parsons. the con-
test Will be especially close, with prob
abilities favoring Democratic success.
IN New Jersey, the nomination by the
Democrats OF Woodrow Wilson. presl-
dent Of Princeton College, is popular with
both parties, and 1t is believed that he
! VIII sweep the State and possibly carry
with him number OF Democratic candi-
dates for Congress. The State is now
represented by seven Republicans and
three Democrats. and in but two dis
tricts is Republican success quite Ger
I tain. The Republican majorities in many
of the other districts are. however so
large that in spite Of the dissatisfaction
with ring rule in New Jersey the pr9ba-
bilities favor Republican success in three
out Of eight remaining districts. The one
really doubtful district is that of Repre-
sentative Gardner. and Representative
Loudenslager will also have a hard night

jOrity at the last election
Fight in PennkyIvnnfa.
Pennsylvania shows little signs Of Dem
ocratic or Republican-Insurgen success,
the standpatters being too strongly IN
trenched in power The state is at pres
ent represented by twenty seven Repub-
leans and five Democrats, and this rep
resentation is not likely 10 be changed.
In the Thirtieth district, represented by
John Dalzeu. there are strong evidences
OF the bitter factional fight preceding his
nomination, but it is locally believed that
he will be elected, though by q greatly
reduced plurality.
In Maryland, the contest will be. as
usual exceedingly close. The RepubH-
cans are expressing high hopes Of general
success throughout the State. but our own
information indicates that these hopes
are not fully justified and that the proba-
bilities are that the three present Demo
cratic districts will return Democrats
again. while the Third and Sixth districts,
which are now Republican by majorities
of less than 1000 will return Democrats.

be. Every armed ship was burned sunk.
or destroyed; the only remaining vessels
belonging TO the Turks or Egyptians
were twenty-five OF the smallest trans
ports, which were spared by order Of
Admiral Codrington. II was estimated
that the loss in men on the Turkish ana
Egyptian vessels were fully 1000.
On the side OF the allies there were no
vessels destroyed. II was feared that
when the news OF the event al Navarin0
reached COnsJantinOple, the lives Of al
Europeans in that city, including the for
eign ambassadors. would be In great dan
ger, but happily there was no violence
on the part Of the Turks. The ambas-
sador pressed for an answer 20 their note

replied: My positive absolute, definite
Interchangeable, eternal answer Is, that the
Sublime Porte does not entertain any
proposition regarding the Greeks. and

them even 10 the last day Of judgment"
The Porte even demanded compensation
for the destruction Of the feet. and salts
faction for the insult. and that the allies
should abstain from eli interference IN
the affairs OF Greece. The reply Of the
ambassadors was to the effect that the
treaty OF July obliged them 10 defend
Greece, and that the Turks had no claim
whatever for PREPARATION for the affair OF
NaysrinO.
The ambassadors left ConsJautinople
on thu sth Of December. and soon after
ward Count Capo DIstrla, who had been
elected President Of Greece, took his
seat and issued a proclamation, declaring
that the Ottoman rule over the country
was az an end after three centuries Of
oppression. Thus was the Independence
OF Greece established.

Both sides Hopeful.

The extraordinary close balancing OF
power between the two great parties Of
the country. as indicated by this preIiml-
nary forecast. can hardly fail, it would
seem, to he Of good cheer to both-to the
Democratic party because after many
years it now has power almost within its
grasp. and to the Republican party be-
cause IL is evident that the conditions are
not so bad as has been generally believed.
A brief survey OF the entire country
and of the important battle. grounds in
the coming contest will be of interest

members in Maine. Representative Sui

In Rhode Island, Representative Sheffield

1t will thus be seen that OF these thir-
teen doubtful districts four are now rep
resented by Democrats and nine by Re
publicans. The successful party will have
10 win seven OF the thirteen in order TO
control the House, assuming that our
forecast in all other respects is correct.
The fact that the Republicans now have
nine of the thirteen doubtful districts IS
the sole justification for the statement
that the probabilities are slightly in ia
vor OF a Republican majority Of two or
three.
