 He brought the Greek army to state of high efficiency and led it to many victories, not the least of which were those at Saloniki and Janina. Several New Workers headed the com mittee which presented him with jeweled sword as a memento of these achievements.
 Complete accord has not always ruled in the domestic affairs of Constantine While there was no whisper of scan dal he and Sophia lived apart for a time and there seemed little prospect of a reconciliation until after the vic tories in the Balkans.
 Curiously enough. there is q very old Greek tradition which says that when a royal Constantine weds a Princess Sophia their son shall reign in Con stantinope and revive the ancient By zantine empire.
 George of Greece is the eldest son of Constantine and Sophia. He was born July :, 1890, and is not married. His engagement to the beautiful Prln- cess Elizabeth eldest daughter of King Ferdinand of ROumania, was announce cd two years ago. subsequently denied and then later reannounced. Early in the present year it was stated that the wedding had been scheduled for the l spring, but postponed on account of the war.
 Like his father, George received his education and military training in Ger l many under the care of his uncle, the kaiser. Because of this there have been reports from time to time that the 1 Greeks looked with more favor on ! Prince Nicholas, brother of Constan- i tine

 The rocket is first aimed in the ! proper direction. An electric current 1 is then sent to the gyroscope, which l assists the vanes in keeping the rocket ! from whirling. Another current ig- . mites the charge of powder, and the ! rocket ascends almost vertically. At the moment of the greatest eleva l tion, which occurs about eight seconds after firing. the exposure is made by an electro pneumatic device. The para
 chute which is packed between the ! camera and the head then opens and l the apparatus descends within a very
 short distance of the place from which l 1t was discharged.
 The rocket can be used in places to
 which it would be impossible for an
 aeroplane to fly.
