is likely to reply to the FeDreSen-
tatiOns just made by the allies,
that Greece will abide by her pol
icy of armed neutrality.
Paris, Oct. 22-Paris newspapers
welcome Great Britain's reported offer
that the entente diplomacy has enter
ed the domain of reality. Some of the
papers express the opinion that the
proposal to make gifts of Epirus,
Smyrna ana other territory is like dis
posing of the bears skin before the
animal is killed. but add that Cyprus
belongs to England and is gift worth
having, being the finest island in the
archipelago. after Crete, and having
Greek population.
Nevertheless, most of the writers ex-
press strong doubts as to the success
of Great Britain's move. They say
they believe it has come too late, and
that the military situation of the en-
tente allies in the Balkans is badly
compromised.
Offer Scored as ..Bribe."
London, Oct. 22.-Great Britain's
reported offer to cede the island of
Cyprus to Greece to induce the latter
country to join the entente allies IS
opposed by the Morning Post. which
eGitorially characterizes the offer as
bad diplomacy.
cyprus is a very nice island with
fertile soils, peaceful population, 4
Sd tisfactory revenue and flourish
ing trade" says the Post.
Now we propose to give it away in
order to bride Greece to fulfill her
plain obligations. We do not like the
transaction. 1t is a bad precedent and
might we'll encourage other countries
to ask a price for their neutrality or
support. When the British empire is
to selling part of itself for the
support of Greece, things
might be considered as in a bad way.
"Our strength in the Balkans seems
to have been in nerveless and incom-
petent hands. Meanwhile Serbia strug-
giles desperately against great odds,
and the chances of saving her grow
more remote. The desperate position
in the Balkans is not the result of
mere mistakes, but of inability to
stand by our friends or to stand up to
our enemies. There is a field here for
strategy and able diplo-
M; y, but if strategy takes the form
of dribletS and diplomacy in the shape
of gifts, our natural advantages and
superior resources will not suffice"

Life Of the Sun

Adopting the well-known hypothesis
OF Helmholtz, which attributes the
production Of the heat emitted by the
sun to its contraction, an idea can be
formed Of the suns duration. II one
gives to the sun a coefficient OF exr
pansion intermediate between that OF
mercury and that Of gas one arrives
at the conclusion that It has takep
100000 to 100000 years for the
sun to contract to its present radius;
In particular. IL would have takea
10000 years to contract from infnity
% radius twice its present radius
Finally, the sun will take 100000, 900
years to contract from its present ra-
dius to half that radius, and even
then its temperature, at the surface
will be 5000 degrees.-Scieptific Amer
