BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Athens.-'If war does not come
within six weeks, 1t probably will not
come for six months, because Of the
difficulty of moving troops in winter.

announced invasion Of Thessaly by
Turkish troops"
That is the essence Of report that

Of at least two governments. More
over, / have 1t upon the highest au-
thority that a recent dossier contains
not only the foregoing alarming state
ment, but also the substance Of the
terms which Turkey will exact
namely huge indemnity, the cession
of a large part Of Thessaly. and the
disarmament and naturalization of
Greece by the powers. At the same
time, Crete will be given up by Tur-
key, for the turbulent island Is only
an apple of discord, of which the OF
toman empire will be glad to be rid,
when it can do SO gracefully.
AS to the outcome of this inevitable
war, the opinion of one diplomat with
whom talked is that Turkish troops
will be in Athens in just the time that
It takes them to march from the from

surprise to me, I confess, to find
everybody here so sure that the con-
fiict is not only certain, but also that
1t is near. In Constantinople I dis
covered no signs of an immediate pur-
pose to have it out with Greece. My
judgment was, and is, that the Young
Turks have trouble enough at home
for the present. Their own house
needs to be set in order; and I can
not agree with the careful observers
over here who think that the best
cure of Turkeys internal ills would
be short and easy war. Greeks lis
tened with incredulous hope when I
told them why thought hostilities re-
mote. Even the new hero of the ma
ton, Venizellos, late prime minister
of Crete, to whom all Greece looks as
a deliVerer, fervently told me that he
hopes my optimism is warranted, so
that Greece may have more time to
make ready.
A nation scared is not a pretty
sight. The thrill which a traveller
feels as for the first time he looks
upon the Acropolis, and the other
magnificent ruins Of Greece's ancient
glory; or as he stands on the top of
the Parthenon and looks off ia one
direction to Marathon, and in another
to Salamis, must give way to quite
different sentiments as he observes
the present-day population of the city
suffering from bad case Of nerves"
aware of its own inability to fight,
and momentarily expectant Of news
of Turkish invasion.
The two hopes which the people
cherish, and repeat to one another re-
assuringly, are that the powers will
prevent war; and that an alliance is
now assured with the once-hated
neighbor, Bulgaria. which is fight
ing force not to be despised. The men
in high place, who are informed upon
what goes on behind the scenes in
Near Eastern politics, also say-and
they doubtless are right in this-that
Russia has differed and drilled the
troops Of Bulgaria. Servia and Monte

The Fixed Size of Bricks

If bricks were made larger, it would
save great deal of time and labor
in building, said contractor, but the
standard has been set, and any change
would be attended by considerable in
convenience. In England when bricks
were first made and up to sixty or sew
enty years ago, there was tax on
bricks, and, In order to evade it, the
bricks were made of larger and larger
sizes. These were used for cellars
and other concealed places. To stop
this fraud, an act was passed in the
reign of George ILL.,, fixing the legal
size of bricks. Early in Queen Vic
torla's reign the tax was taken off, and
bricks may now be legally made of any
size whatever. But any change from
the standard size would bring about
great inconvenience. All calculations
are made for building on this stand,
ard size, and the London and other
building acts have practically fixed it.

How Hindus Obtain Fire.

Fire is obtained for the important
Hindu ceremony Yanga by curious
method, says writer in the Strand
Magazine, matches not being consid-
cred holy. The priest holding the two
ends of piece of cord coiled around
a vertical rod, the lower end of which
fits into groove cut in the block Of
wood on which the rod rests, by a
churning motion causes it to rotate
very rapidly, it being meanwhile kept
in position by means of horizontal
handle with hole in which the rod
turns, The friction between the rod
and the lower block of wood after a
short time sets fire to the latter. This
fire, by timely nourishment, IS deyel-
oped into a glorious flame. The in
strument is considered very sacred by
the orthodox Hindus. They, OF

and Constantinople Is the contrast be-
tween Europe and Asia. Here is or
der, cleanliness, up-to-dateness; there

Americas influence Upon Greece.
The new life OF the west has per-
meated this old nation. There is a
constant interflow of thought between
Greece and Britain and America
Three million dollars are sent here
annually by Greeks in the United
States. Last year, from only one
American consular district in this
country, the number of emigrants to
the United States amounted to one
per cent. of the entire population of
all of Greece.
OF course, this is serious drain
upon the vital power of the nation.
But the Greeks abroad send and bring
back modern ideas. The labor union

Russian officer In charge of the load

ordered the interpreter to discharge

the ship within FIVE minutes. The
poverty of the country is being amel-
iorated and compulsory education is
general everywhere, although far too
large psoportion of the curricula is
devoted to Ancient Greece.
