INJUSTICE TO GREECE.

DR.. John Constas, a Washington
nent Greek in the United States,
charges that the commission appointed
by the Carnegie foundation to inves-
tigate the atrocities of the Balkan war
made false statements and drew false
differences from the facts in order to
shield Bulgaria at the expense of the
Greeks.
DR.. ,Constas does not mince words,
and his plain statements of fact, based
on sources of information which, he
declares, are absolutely correct, call
for something more than silence. If
the Carnegie foundation, highly en-
dowed by the ex-steel maker and
reformed speller. cannot obtain facts
from those whom it employs to find
facts, it should give up it's attempts,
It's Balkan report, in it's variance from
the statement made by DR.. Constas,
should be subjected to competent
tscrutiny.
DR.. Constas says that two Of the
members of the commission, when ap-
tpointed, were highly Objectionable to
Greece and Servia. He insists that
one specific charge made by the com
mission, that the town of Kilkis was
destroyed by the Greeks in an afro
.cious manner, was "atrociously false
and peculiarly unjust" DR.. Consta!
insists that the town was destroyed
by the retreating Bulgarians and says
finally that, if there is another war il
the Balkans. the Carnegie commission
will be, in part, to blame.

An Opportunity FOR Farmers.

The Worlds Work: The p~ostoflce
department has just started a cam
paign intended to bring together the
buyer and seller. AS an experiment,
rural carriers in certain districts will
collect the names of farmers who
would like to enter directly into busi-
ness relations with city people. These
names will be printed and given to
prospective buyers, perhaps distrib-
uted in cities by letter carriers. The
city housewife can select some farm
er with whom she can deal regularly
through the mails. If the plan works
successfully in selected areas, it will
be adopted all over the country. There
seems no reason why 1t should not
succeed. There are many city women.

Lookino to the Leaders,

Des Moines Register n Leader.
Nothing could be simpler than Sena-
tor Borah's plan for the regeneration
Of the republican party.
All that is needed is to gather up
the common sense, the common hon
esty, the common patriotism, the COM
mon courage and the common right
eousness Of the common people of this
country and organize it into a militant,
progressive, disciplined force for legal
and social justice, and DO 1t all Under
the constitution and laws Of this
| blessed old republic"
But how is his fine purpose to be
translated into the language of imme-
diate political action
Will it be by sending Penrose back
with a carte blanche Endorsement, by
returning Foraker to leadership?
Will it be by filling the new congress
with political reminders of the period
before the Chicago convention?
What the republican party needs is
not glittering g~eneralities. but speci-
fc instances.
We shall begin to gather up the
common honesty and common courage
of the common people n make it the
political capital of republicanism when
we begin to rally around leaders who
are pointing in that direction.
