Greek Policy Defined.

Athens, via London, March 2S.-An official communication on the foreign policy of Greece was issued today. It says:
 The government, attributing great importance to the calm and tranquil 1ty of public opinion regarding the proper treatment of foreign affairs. considers 1t an absolute necessity to deny statements to the effect that if Greece does not abandon her attitude Of neutrality she will lose the oppor- tunity of realizing her national asni- rations.
 ''The divergence of views between the government and it's predecessor arose from opinions regarding the gravity of the dangers threatening the integrity of the country The govern ment is doing everything In it's power to avoid possible dangers"

We all know OF the glorious work
Of David Porter during the war Of 1919
In the Essex. He created . neet out

ordinates gladly called him comno.
dore and recognised his well earned
right to. . broad pennant. Yet. to use
the language Of the time. Mr.. Thomp-
son. the secretary Of the navy. issued
an order which 'unshipped his stars
and degraded his title" when Porter
came ashore. There was nothing last
ing in the brevet Of commodore, and
the nag became memory rather than
lasting emblem OF gallant service
that had justified It when afioat and
aface with the periis OF war.
There was lack Of harmony In the
practice Of carrying these symbols Of
nag rank. and this led Isaac Toucey.
when secretary Of the navy, to pre-.
scribe in 1858: 1T is hereby ordered
that in lieu Of the broad pennant now
worn by flag officers in command Of
squadrons they shall wear plain blue
nag Of dimensions proportionate to the
different classes, of vessels prescribed
for the jack Flag officers whose
date Of commission as captain is over
twenty years shall wear 1t at the fore;
all others at the mizzen."
The incorrectness OF hoisting rear
admiral's flag at the main instead of
at the mizzen, where the long estab-
hshed usage OF other naval powers
had placed 1t, soon became apparent.
and at the instance Of Richard H.
Dana. then in congress. the position
OF the flag was made agreeable to
general custom without regard to the
rear admirals seniority. AS result
Farragut lowered his flag from the
main and raised 1t at the mizzen.
where rear admirals flag should fly.
Outwardly this seemed like reduc.
tion in his dignity.
In 1866 distinctive flag apart from
Its position on the ship was ordered
for him and then for the first time
appeared the four white stars in the
center forming diamond. At the
same time the vice-admiral acquired
three stars. the rear admiral two and
the commodore's broad pennant was
entitled to one. the erstwhile central
big star Of days gone by when that
grade displayed a whole constellation.
Admiral Farrasut first hoisted his
four starred nag on the frigate Frank.
lin in June of 1867, and at the same
time salute Of seventeen guns was

All went well In this somewhat
touchy matter until 1859. and then
trouble arose over departmental or

but II fitted thii Squirrel. and ! am
going TO tell 20 how he came to be
called BY suchs N UNPLEASANT name.
Lazy A2py was born there
were three AttlSaeauirrels in his fam
ily, but he was the youngest. and his
mother thought he was the iprettiest,
and all the: rest OF the family used
to wait on HIM ! great deal, and his
mother did not ask him to do en-
rands or to climb trees or do any 9TH
er hard tasks that most sQuifrels have
to do. And Lazy Gray took advan-
tage Of the kindness Of his mother
and his brothers and sisters and used
to ask them to wait on him. When
he was thirsty and wanted drink OF
water, he would call to his mother
and say: II am thirsty" and she
would take . nutshell and go down
to the brook and fill 1t with nice cool
water and bring 1t to him for him
to drink. And sometimes he would
not even say. THANK you." when he
had finished.
And he used to make his brothers
90 ON long Journeys through the
woods to get . particular kind Of nut
Of which he was very fond; and II
they happened to bring him one that
was not good, he would find fault with
them and tell them that they did not
know good nuts from bad ones.
All through the summer he fooled
away his time sleeping and lying In
the sun, and never 3 single nut did he
gather for himself. But when fall
came and his two brothers were taken
III, his mother said that he would have
to help her gather nuts for the win
ter. because she could not gather
enough to last the whole family
through ali the long winter. Lazy
thought It was very hard that he
should be called upon to work for
his brothers even II they were sick.
and he complained very bitterly about
how hard It was for him to climb
trees all day and store nuts. When
ever he could. he. stole away and lay
down behind . rick and kept hidden
until his mother came and found him.
And then she wonld tell how, when
It got cold and there was snow AL
over the ground and he was hungry,
he would wish; that he had been .
good sauifHl and had gathered The

But he did not beiieye hsr, and said.

The lingerie hat is made OF fine,

and forms q special kind of midsummer
millinery which reappears each year.
The same kinds of embroideries and
laces that are used for making lingerie
gowns or fine underwear are used in
the construction OF this very elegant
millinery; hence the name by which
It. is designated.
The lingerie hat has been in greatest

Of those types made for the .'exclus.

afford to indulge taste for special
millinery to suit special seasons. They
are by no means inexpensive: but It
is the work required to make them,
rather than the materials used, that
makes them bring very good prices.

makes the blossoms look like delicate
ghosts of the flaming flower they copy,

their stores of nuts. Lazy found that
he got pretty hungry, sometimes and
that the habit of eating and drinking
all he wanted in the summer made
him want to eat and drink all he want
ed In the winter. And ~ he had ney-
er taught himself self-denial, hs
ate all he wanted. and very early In
the winter he began to see that the
nuts he had gathered would not last
him half way through the winter, and
almost before he know It his whole
store was exhausted and he had moth
ing to eat. ssa
Then he asked his mother to let him
have some of the nuts that she had
gathered. and being = kind mother.
she let him have just ~ many as she
could, but she still had to keep some
for his sick brothers. When she would
not give him all he thought he ought
to have. he decided that he would 90

squirrel over there for some OF his
nuts, and for weeks he went from

to see him coming. for they knew he

have gathered for himself. 4
At last he became 70 much Of .

When David Dixon Porter upon the
death Of F'arragut became admiral OF
the navy he inherited the striped nag
which his predecessor had repudiated.
and for six years 1t was displayed
upon various occasions. but the

the convenience Of distinguishing the

restored the blue emblem OF hag rank.
