Kings VS.. Peoples
lFrom the Washington Post.l

The tenseness Of the situation in
southeastern Europe is yividly illus
tratcd by the friction between the King
OF Greece and his cabinet and between
the King Of Bulgaria and his people. la
Greece the king has forced the cabinet
to resign on account of its leaning to-
ward the cause OF the allies and in Bull
garia the people have openly threatened
the king with violence on account of his
espousal of the Tcutonic cause. The dis
putes between the crown and the people
in each country arc sure to be injurious
TO both, and il would not be strange if
shocking tragedies should result from
the attempt in each country TO thwart
the popular will.
King Ferdinand may not have been
able TO prevent the drift of his country
toward war with Serbia and Greece. lie
could have avoided complications, at any
rate. which tend to force Bulgaria into
an unnatural alliance with the Turks.
The Bulgarians are good haters, and
perhaps are willing TO wipe OFF the score
against the Serbians and Greeks, but it
is inconceivablc that they can be

Must There Be Another Mole
(From the New York Tribune.)

IL is impossible to accept with pa
thence, the solemn announcement from
Washington that "the Turkish govern
ment has been formally notified that
unless the massacre Of Armenians
ceases, friendly relations between the
American people and the people of
Turkey will be threatened"
What does this mean? Apparently,
il means that the American Ambassa-
dor in Constantinople may be recalled
as an evidence of the moral disappro
val felt by Mr.. Wilson's administra-
ton for Osmanli methods CT dealing
with a portion of Turkeys population.
This would be a conceivable course If
it involved no peril.
But what is to become of the scores
of American men and women in Turk
ish colleges and missions? What pos
sible reason will the Turkish govern
ment have hereafter to stay its hand,
to hold back the agents of massacre.
to protect American men and women
What, too, will become of the unfor-
tunate Christian population, whose
sole bulwark now is the moral influ-
ence of American teachers?
To threaten Turkey with moral
condemnation would be like threaten
ing to abstain from social intercourse
with a red-handed murderer not yet
apprehended. At most it would
amount to nothing more than a
cheap bit of self-righteousness, and
it might not prove in the least

blood enemies, the Turks. This would
mean nothing less than raising their
hands against Russia, which liberated
them and made them nation. Thus
far King Ferdinand has carried his cab
met along toward an alliance with Tur-
key, but mutterings among the people
foretell internal disturbances which may
offset any attempt by Bulgaria against
its noighbors
King Constantine has met a different
situation, by dismising his prime minis
ter. who unquestionably represents the
will of the Greeks in paving the way
for war on the side of the allies. Pre-
mier Ncnizelos was recently placed in
power in response TO the expression Of
the people at the parliamentary election.
He can be displaced by the king, but
the popular win cannot be set aside.
Matters may easily reach point there
fore where the king and the people will
clash. National action may vacillate
while the issue remains undecided, but
no one can doubt that in the long run
the people will have their way.

SALISBURY THE
CHAMPIONS OF PENINSULA


CHAMPIONS OF PENINSULA
From the Salisbury News.
The defeat of the Cambridge team
by the Athletics last week on the
Cambridge home grounds in contrast
with the decent licking which the Sal
isbury Club gave the Athletics on our
home grounds, brings out very clearly
the fact that Salisbury had the real
baseball team the past season. We
not only cleaned up every club on the
Shore of any reputation but we won
the pennant and then gave the Ath-
letics a good licking to wind up the
season.
The people Of Salisbury enjoyed
first-class baseball this season, but il
Is rather a sad commentary on our
sports that one man had to practi-
cally bear all the expense of this
championship and when the season
was closed Mr.. S. e. Gordy. who back
ed the club. found himself about tlf-
teen hundred dollars TO the bad for
his energy and pluck in giving Sails
bury a real baseball club. II does
not look like fair deal that Mr..
Gordy should pay this large bill all by
himself The Salisbury Baseball
Club was an advertisement for Sails
bury and thousands of our citizens en-
loved the close games during the sea-
son. Not only did Mr.. Gordy put up
the money to keep the team in the
field but he actually bought the Ath-
letic grounds and fenced it in. This
caused him another expenditure of
more than $4,000. so when he closed
his baseball season Mr.. Gordy had
put a very substantial amount in the
sport for the benefit of Salisbury and
the reputation of the city.
A winning baseball club is an as
set TO any community Salisbury en-
joyed this asset during the season and
it would seem only fair that an effort
should be made to raise a substantial
amount of the indebtedness of the
club. and refund Mr.. Gordy a part of
the money which he actually spent in
the field. Fifty or more of our citi-
zens every year guarantee to the
Chautauqua Society their expenses
and profit for coming to Salisbury, and
the Chautauqua gives no more enter
tainment than does the national game
during a season. II would seem, there
fore. that there should be some ef-
fort made at once TO raise at least
large part of the expenses of the past
baseball season which were borne by
Mr.. Gordy, especially after he gave
Salisbury the pennant winner and gave
the first defeat to the Athletics which
they faced during their exhibition
games this year.

Editorial Opinion
vENIzELOs's RESIGNATION.

From the New York Sun.
The resignation of the Creek Pre-
mier venizelos. forced by King Con
stantine as the French expedition to
the aid of Serbia lands at Salonica,
brings about a situation critical to
Greece and TO the movements Of the
Allies in southern Europe.
Nenizelos resigned under condi-
tons similar to his previous retire
ment. He was returned on the for
mer occasion by a majority that left
little doubt of the nations confidence
in him. Venizelos's contention has
been that under the terms OF the
present treaty Greece is bound to
help Serbia the King is understood
TO have held that the Premier's pro-
gram included also the alignment of
Greece as an ally of France and Eng
land
The peril to Greece herself arises
from the opposition of the people to
the pro-Teutonic sympathies of their
ruler. to the strength of the war
party and the danger of a serious
break between Constantine and the
Chamber of Deputies over the refusal
of the latter to ratify the Kings
choice Of a successor to Venizelos.
With French troops already upon
her soil and more on the way Greece
must act quickly. The present French
force of 10000 would avail little
against a Teutonic drive in the Bal
kans. To compel the reembarkation
Of these or to hinder the landing
Of more French troops Constantine
would place himself in opposition to
both the Allies and his own people
His attempt to stem popular senti-
ment estranges Greece from the ma
tions that have longest been her
friends and opens the door to revolu-
ton that may cost him his crown.
