vows responsibility for the Greek Of
ficers who have cast their fortunes
with their friends, but the feud is 9
religious ne-Mussulman against
Christion- and the animosity is far
fiercer than in any mere political war.
The worst tale of atrocity which the
near east has yielded in many days
came from this field. The bodies of 200
Albanian Mussulmans were reported
to have been found in a church at
Corda all crucifed alive. Women anl
children were among them. So many
stories of similar stripe come from
prejudiced sources that this has been
taken as a great exageration at the
worst.
One fact stands above impeachment
Famine prevails throughout the Bal
kan peninsula as it has infermittently
for many years. The war for civil
ization proclaimed by the Balkan
League has wrought no cure of the ol'
racial feuds; only new phases of the
same disease.

THE WAR BROUGHT NO REST TO The
LONG SUFFERING BALKANS PEOPLE

ports that $4,000 refugees have arriY-
ed at Salonika by ships, and that 15-
600 more are waiting on the coast to
get away.
The head of the Greek church at
Constantinople persuaded the British
ambassador to demonstrate with the
Sublime Porte, and orders were tele-
graphed to the local governors to re
patriate all refugees. Truth" says
that these orders were meant only for
the ambassadors benefit, and that the
governors were given the word Sc
cretly to disregard them. That was
familiar strategem of the old Turkish
diplomacy, when pressure from the
powers became to astute to be ig-
nored.
The Greek government, on it's part,
does not lack enterprise at oppression
if witnesses from non-Greek sources
be credited. Restrictive laws against
the Jews in Salonika have been made
so strong that $4,000 are leaving that
once prosperous port. The battalions
of Greeks from Thrace seeking asylum
and of departing Jews, number two
and three thousand persons daily, 50
that all shipping is crowded and the
normal life and business are as much
disturbed as they we're during the days
of the war. An important factor OF
the upheavel is that both the Greeks
of Thrase and the Jews of Salonika
were the most prosperous peoples in
those communities, and their expulsion
means disaster and ruin to both.
Meanwhile the new ruler of AL
bania, Prince William of Wied, who
bears the title of Mpret is having q
troublesome honeymoon with his do
main. Civil war, which customarily is
the chief industry of that more thar
half barbarious principality, is pro-
ceeding as usual. The Greeks claim
100000 adherents out of the 55O,OO0
inhabitants of the southern portion of
he new Albania. These people OF
Epirus known as Epirotes refuse al
legiance to the Mpret. Fierce fighting
has been going on about Koritza, and
the rebellion is said to be lead by OF
ficers from the Greek army. The Ep
irotes have the advantage of an organ
lied army possessed OF. some military.
Apart from a small force of gen
darmes, some 1,5OO or 1000, the Alban-
ians rely upon volunteers recruited
from the southern Albanian clan. No
attempt to mobolize them has been
made and they scatter along the front,
fighting in the old free and easy way
dear to their hearts, but making tie
advance of a regular force an easy
task. The Greek government disa-
Americus times-recorder., 1914-06-04

London, June 9.-The troubles Of
Mexico and Ulster have wholly over
shadowed public interest in the neae
east during recent months. But th3
formal ending of the Balkan war has
brought no rest to that long suffering
region. Thrace, Macedonia and AL
bania are boiling with racial and re-
ligious strife. Stories of fighting, of
persecution and of massacre come
to the London papers from many cor
respondents, and are printed in small
type with little comment. Europe has
come to accept these conditions as
matter of course.
The changes of boundaries and of
sovereignty which resulted from the
peace treaties, and the launching of
Albania as on autonomous state, are
responsible for the new era of strug-
gle and butchery. Every power con-
cerned in the new allotments is trying
to impress not only its laws but its
own state religion upon those who
have become its subjects, if the cur
rent historians are to be believed.
Forcible conversions by wholesale
seem the order of the day. Between
the Christian and the Mussulman dis
pensations, between Greeks, Turks,
Bulgarians, Roumanians, Servians and
Albanians, there is little choice of
standards of civilization. Much of the
information comes from Athens, which
presents events only from the stand
point of Greek interests; much is
disseminated by the newspapers of
Vienna, which is fountain of can
ards.
The Turkish government is deter
mined to drive the whole Greek popu-
lation from Thrace, according to ac-
counts from Greek sources. 1t has
organized campaign of oppression
which is making life impossible for
people of Greek Affiliations in the
country about Kirk Kilissee, Lula
Burgas and all the land which Bull
garia conquered in the first war and
lost through the final treaty. BY
Greeks as meant the adherents of the
Greek church, since nationality is rec
ognized as following religion rather
than blood in those regions.
The Greeks are pictured as having
as desperate times in Thrace under tde
rod of the young Hurk, as the Bulgar
ians had in Macedonia under Abdul
Hamid. The methods of terrorism are
the same.
Irregular troops, who get their liv-
ing by loot, and bands of so-called
brigands, all supposed to be acting
under inspiration from Constantine
pie, are overruning the country. Burn
ing villages light the sky, as during
the days of war; cattle and sheep are
driven away; pillage and ravishing go
on. Life is made so intolerable that
Greek inhabitants are glad to escape
to the coast with what bundles they
can carry on their backs. Athens re-

Tomorrow has been designated as

has been the custom for the last ten
Years in regular and special church
services generally. hut q new step
has been taken by the National Child
Labor Committee in calling upon
teachers throughout the country 20
observe next Monday as Child LABOR
Day in the schools.
The main idea is to get children
to think in their own behalf on the
problem OF child labor. To this enc
the national committee has been
busiIy engaged for month past IN
supplying teachers. as well as cler-
gymen, with the latest phases OF the
movement against child labor, ana
proposes that at chapel exercises or
at some specially designated per1ou
IN Mondays school work teachers
shall in some manner take up the
subject of child labor with their
charges.
Interest taken IN the matter is re-
Elected in requests which have lately
come in at the rate of over LOU q

which the national committee has
distributed quantities of pamphlets
on the relation of child labor to eo-

ands Of teachers will unite with
clergymen in SOME sort OF observance
OF the day.
since the first Child Labor Day
was observed in 1906, such striking
progress has been made that the
rank and file of states today nave
advanced beyond the standard OF the
most progressive ten years ago, az
cording to Owen r. Lovejoy, gener-
al secretary of the National Child

The child labor laws of pract :caIly

methods of prevention of child labor
have become matters of thorough
scientific study and treatment;
