hut among the Greeks in Florida il
seems to be as real as in the oil
days of THE glory that was Greece. .
These people. prospecting in their

their hopes and prospects here, sell
out at a loss, and at the bidding OF
King George hurry across the ocean
al their own expense to rally around
the cOlOrs of their little native
peninsula in unequal contest with
the Turk. We trust the eXpecte

The way that little hobo, "A-No.

country for free advertising, is
something scandalous In the pas,
two weeks innumcrablc newspapers
have been giving him nice obituary
sendoffs and mOralizing with much
pGthos over his alleged death under
the car wheels in Texas. And all
the while the foxy little chap was
enjoying himself up in Maine and
reading the mOrtuary literature
about his ease with an appetite
which his love of nOtoriety makes
practically Unsuitable. The wonder
is that citizen of his nerve and
advertising genius didn't seize the
opportunity to wire the press after
the fashion of Mark Twain, that the
report of his death was greatly cX.

SOFT PEDAL BEING
PLACED BY TAFT ON
MAGDALENA AFFAIR
Presidents Reply to Lodge
Resolution to Be Made
Early This Week.

The White House and State Depart
nent are now engaged in putting the
soft pedal on the Magdalena Bay af-
fair. The President is expected to
transmit a reply to the Lodge resolu-
ton of inquiry in the course of this
week. He will put in the hands of the
Senate all the data the State Depart
ment has on the subject of attempts of
a subsidized Japanese steamship COM
pany to get a vast tract of land along
the shores Of Magdalena Bay.
The data will not show that the land
has actually got into the hands Of the
Japanese. 1t will show there have been
certain negotiations.
1t is pointed out that the action Of
the Senate in making sharp inquiry,
followed by the action of the President
in transmitting information to the ef-
feet the Government Is not informed
that the Japanese have obtained foot
hold on Magdalena Bay, in itself con-
stitutes such an assertion of its position
by this Government that it will not be
misunderstood in the chancellories of
Europe or Asia. '...
Senator Lodge is satisfied with the
way events are turning out. He Is con-
WINGED that the necessary warning note
action. AS for the State Department,
which many Senators criticise sharply
for failure to deal properly with so
critical q situation, II Is put in posi-
ton where It is OBLIGED to keep a keen
eye on Magdalena Bay developments.
