Of life. He says:
The people were exceedingly dis
heartencd brooding over their SORROWS
and restlessly awaiting the time when
In some way they can return to their
former homes. This hope would
seem in vain. from the fact that the
men are refused admission into Greek
and Servlan territory. while even the
women who seek to return TO their
former homes are turned back after
being maltreatcd and robbed
Moreover I was told that the Bull
garians in Greek territory are being
drafted for the Greek army, and sent
to the islands to serve. II is greatly
TO be hoped that the government will
deal promptly and effectively with the
problem OF settling the refugees,
While the American Red Cross already
has contributed $4,000 for the rehabilita- =
ton OF the Bulgars since the close Of the
war. Mr.. Holways report indicates that
the bulk Of additional contributions must
come from the United States.

Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, March 24-Colonel Seeey,
minister Of war, rendered his resigna-
tion today. For the moment homo rule
and Ulster are forgotten, absorbed IN
what, from the English point of view,
is far greater crisis. Yesterday the
government surrendered to the dicta-
tion Of the army, and today it has the
entire body of It's followers up against
it. Their cry-strangely reminiscent
of Cromwell's tjme-is: care the
army and the king to rule the house OF
commons?'
1t was only a fitting sequel to yes
terday's inglorious display that Colo
mel Seeley should have offered his res
igation. The probability is it will not
be accepted, because acceptance would
accentuate the government s pusilani-
nous misbandling of the situation. Oa
Saturday last the government held ev-
cry card. Now, thanks to the fact that
they truckied to the influences of Buck
ingham palace. including both the mon
arch and the ladies in waiting, coupled
with that of Lord Roberts and the ex-
elusive army clique, the government
find themselves with % per cent of
their followers in revolt. No one
would be surprised if the governments
resignation followed quickly that OF
Colonel Seeley.
Ward Thrills Commons.
The opportunity came today for
home rulers TO set their views of the
recent crisis before parliament and the
nation-and the result was a series Of
speeches that made the country gasp.
The opportunity rose over the revoln-
tionury matter and John Ward, Ia
bor leader, brought it up.
Mr.. Ward S point was that when or
dinary soldiers are driven to shoot
down fellow workingmen during
strikes, Officers cannot be allowed 10
refuse to carry out their desires IN Il
civil crisis. Moreover, if the govern
ment allow themselves to be intimi
dated by force during u political crisis,
then labor is equally entitled to uso
force.
off you want to use force my class
will fight YOU tomorrow, said Ward,
off it is to be at the point of the
bayonet, We are ready
Denounces the King.
Turning TO the Tories, he cried:
''You and the syndicalists arc one,
You both preach rebellion for your own
purposes Ii flesh and blood are to be
sold cheap we will tell the soldiers
Never fire a shot against your own
class We trade unionists will now
consider setting UP our military organ
ization. We have 100000 mon.

The attorneys for the state were
willing to accede to Attorney Chris

Crowd Disappointed.

Perhaps The largest crowd since the
Martin trial opened was disappointed
by the decision to suspend trial for
the day. Attracted by the presence OF
Theodore Kytka, the San Francisco ex-
pert, on the witness stand, the court
room was completely filled even before
the hour of opening court for the aft
ernoon. The several hundred persons
who had FASTENED to tho county build
ing to obtain the best seats in the
courtroom before o'clock discovered
before that hour that their efforts
had been wasted. The afternoon audi
ence included an unusually large num-
Der of women, condition which has
not prevailed during the past week.
According to the defendants attor-
ney, Martin contracted slight cold
while the courtroom was being venti
lated yesterday. He is subject to at
tacks Of tonsilitis and this morning he
awoke with sore throat which soon
developed into one OF the reeurrent
attacks of tbat disease. During the
morning session Of court it was no.
ticeable to those in the room that Mar
tin appeared pale and apparently was
suffering.
