GREEKS MEET
AND TALK OVER
WAR QUESTION
Scores May Respond From
Pensacola to Kings
Call to Colors.
MANY YOUNG MEN
STAND READY TO GO
Much Enthusiasm Follows
Discussion of Their
Country's Needs.
MANY YOUNG MEN.
STAND READY TO GO

Dozens of Greek citizens attended
meeting which was held at the K.
of P. hall yesterday afternoon when
the q7estion of responding to the call
of Il Greek king was discussed in
its various phases. One thing was
prominent during the discussion, and
that is there are scores of Greeks in
Pensacola who stand ready, awaiting
the word to return to their native
land to give battle either on land or
sea to a common enemy.
One of those who attended the
meeting, and who was heard at
length in discussions affecting the re-
turn of the young Greeks to their
native land was Nick Strigos, who
went through the Greco Bulgar war,
and who now holds a commission in
the Grecian army. He explained, ac-
cording to some of those who attended
the meeting, in detail what was ex-
pected, and announced that he was
ready to go to the old country with
any who cared to leave. His remarks
were loudly applauded.
There is some misunderstanding re-
speeding the call to colors of the
Greeks in this country. One we'll
informed Greek said that it was not
clear yet whether the "call to colors"
meant for the army or the navy, and
in explanation, said that Greeks were
liable for duty in one of the branches.
The average Pensacola Greek, he
said, was liable for duty in the. navy,
and If this is the branch which is
needing men, and for which the king
has issued a call, It will mean the de-
parture for the old country of many
younger Greeks from Pensacola.
"The call was for men who became
Of age, and who are liable for duty,
from the year 1902 to 1911, which
would include large number from
Pensacola" said one or those who at
tended the meeting. '"To be clear on
the question, have decided to write
the ambassador at Washington for
an explanation" He also stated that
the consul-general for the Greek gov
eminent, who has the authority COW
ering such cases, is stationed at New
York, and he will arrange for the
transportation to that city Of any and
all Greeks who care TO go back to
the call of his country. This means
that many are likely to leave here
within another ten days.
Eight young Greeks, who seized
the first opportunity, left for London
and Swansea aboard the American
steamship Southerner, and others
were to make the passage on the
American steamer Zealandia, bat it
was discovered the last-named vessel
will not go direct to Europe.

great numbers and the women deliv-
cred to the Kurds by gendarmes, in

JOHNNIE QUACKLES AND MAMIE QUACK VISIT MRS,
- SQuIRREI-Part Ii.

Billy Bunny, for my grandmother never
told that part, but she knew about Billy
Bushytail, as he was Of our family.
When the sun was going down he
said to Billy Bunny: II must be get
ting home; I have a long way to CO."
so he thanked him for his nice din
ner of cherry pie and milk and ran off
through the woods and was soon within
sight of his home tree.
But just before he reached it he be-
gan to feel very queer, and then he
thought a sharp thorn must have stuck
into his side, and the first thing he
knew he was rolling on the ground
groaning SO loudly that all the birds
and squirrels came out of their homes
to see what had happened"
Why, it is our Billy Bushytail,"
said his mother. He is dead! He is
dead!"
But Billy wasn't dead; he was very
his feet in hot water and sent for DR..
Raven as soon as they could"
He has eaten something that does
not agree with him." said the doctor,
and I shall be obliged to give him some
very bad tasting medicine, because
that is the only thing that will make
him we'll"
"All night long Billy Bushytail
groaned with the pain, and every time
he thought of cherry pie for a long time
aIIer ne would make q race.
But he was cured Of taking excur-
sions. He decided that all that squir-
rels needed were the things to be
found right near his own home, n
while cherry pie was very nice, the
milk was not the right food for him, SO
Billy Bushytail never went on an ex-
cursion again"
Don't you think Billy Bushytail did
want to go on an excursion7" asked
Mamie Quack, while she was eating
her cookies.
ooh! yes, my dear, an excursion is
all right when our mother knows
about it or goes with you, but SO many
things might have happened to Billy
Bushytail not to let his mother know
he was going"

through the grove" said Johnnie
Quackles. IT do not think any harm
could befall us, do you, Mrs. SQUIRREL"
mo; but you might have gone to
the woods n there's no knowing
what would have happened" she said.
So when they had eaten the cookies
and drank the milk they said they
would go right home.

the pond with them, and saw them all
away, n from the middle of the pond
she heard their mothers call where

WOULD NEED 2s4 SUBMARINES

Der to EffectuaIIy Blockade
All British Ports

Assuming that the German subma-
rlnes are based at zeebrugge. the time
required for the passage to and from
plockading stations off the ports Of
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
oVerhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days. and the
time which may be spent at be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently it
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
OF submarines On blockading stations
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts Of England, Scotland and
Wales which it would be necessary for
Inc German submarines to blockade if
all supplies r to be cut of.
An effective blockade Of any port
could scarcely be maintained in the
lace Of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines, and double that number
would be one too many. If the min
mum number Of three boats be al
lowed for each port, thu Germans
would require at least lat constantly
on station to close all the ports of
Great Britain; that is. allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essential overhaul

Teacher.

Paderewski arrived in a small west
ern town about noon one day and de-
cided to take a walk in the afternoon.
While strolling along he heard a piano
and. following the sound, came to a
house on which was a sign reading:
Miss Jones. Piano Lessons 25
Cents an Hour"
Pausing to listen, he heard the
young lady trying to play one of Cho-
pins nocturnes and not succeeding
very well.
Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De-
lighted, she invited him in and he sat
down and played the nocturne as only
Paderewski can, afterward spending
an hour in correcting her mistakes.
Miss Jones thanked him and he de-
parted.
Some months a%fterward he returned
to the town and again took the same
walk.
He soon came to the home of Miss
Jones and, looking at the sign, read:

Billy Bushytail decided he would run
away and ave an excursion al by HIM
self; SO he hid behind q tree, and when
mis- father and mother were far enough
away from him he ran n didn't stop
running until he reached the edge OF

and looked about to seeswhere he was
and In which direction he would like to
go.
Pretty soon he heard something
close beside him which sounded like
ker-chug, ker-chug, and. sitting on the
ground near him. Billy Bushytail saw

Isn't it funny We are both named
Billy?'
Yes. tina is funny said Billy Bulf-
frog, but the funniest part is that
such a little fellow as you should have
the same name as a big fellow like me?'
and the frog began to laugh as hard
IS he could.
Why, you are not a bit bigger thar
/ am; in fact, you are not so long as
I am. Look at my tall. Did you ever
see yourself?' asked Billy Bushytail.
"tof course, I have replied Billy
Bullfrog. but let me ask you, did you
ever see yourself?'
Billy Busrytail had to confess ne
never had seen himself, and Billy Bull
frog said. Well, come with me, and I
will let you have a look at yourself, and
you will see o are a very little fell
low compared with me-
$50 Billy Bushytail followed Billy
Bullfrog to his pond, and Billy Bull
frog told him to look in the smooth
water and see his reflection.
Billy Bushytail was very much
pleased with what he saw, and he
flirted his tail over his back and adj
mired himself very much.
Now you see how much larger 1
am than YOU are. of course said Billy
Bullfrog. putting himself as large as
possible.

waste any more time with such a dull

tail and wet his fur coat we'll.
What a disagreeable fellow!' said

and then he treated me in such a shah

cursion n get home tonight If I stay
