Venizelos of Greece

Although much of the credit for the
rapid progress of Greece during the
last few years belongs to King Con-
stantine. there is n growing feeling
that when her aspirations are realized.
not the King, but Vepizelos. will get
much Of the credit. He and the King
are on the best OF terms as rule, but
lust now VeniZelos is temporarily
without power because OF his wish that
Greece should send an army against
Constantinople. In this difference,
many OF the people of Greece are with
Eenizelos. The press and public gath
erings call for his return to the office
of Premier and an immediate declara-
ton OF war. However, the people re
spect the delicacy Of the Kings sit
uation. They have no particular
quarrel with Germany. but they real
ize that in assisting the allies TO re.
duce the Turks they would weaken
Germany's position. The Queen of the
Greeks is a sister of the Kaiser, and
the people naturally hesitate TO force
her into war with her brother.
In recent years the whole trend OF
Greek development has been toward a
fective war against her old enemy.
There has been an awakening of the
ancient Greek spirit; and the chief
element in the awakening is NeEiZelos
He was born a Cretan, and in his early
youth he developed hatred for the
Turks which has increased as he grew
in years and power. He saw the dis
content among the inhabitants of the
Greek Islands scattered through tho
I.evant, and particularly those ruled by
Turkey. He was born In 1851, and
was, therefore. child during the
Cretan insurrcction of the sixties, but
the memory OF Il is 80 vivid I'm his
mind that II is said to color all diplo-
matte actions After graduating from
the University of Athens, in 1885, his
rise was rapid.

rendered conspicuous service. tie head

Investigating Committees Duty

JUST why the Council committee investigat-
ing the Police Department or any. mem
Der of the committee, should be so wildly
determined to have handed over the So
called secret budget" Of the Vice Commits
sion, passes ordinary comprehension. Ger
tainly plausible explanation has been
made at any of the public sessions.
The commission has offered to permit an
inspection of this record by the City Attorney.
This inspection would be for the purpose of
testing the statement of Chairman Ashton
Starke that he has turned over already to the
committee all the facts or allegations in his
possession that could be held to affect the
administration of the Police Department.
Nobody doubts that Mr.. Starke made this
declaration in absolute good faith but he is
not a lawyer, and may not have given proper
weight to the averments of some of the per-
sons called before the commission. If his
judgment in this respect was at fault the
procedure proposed would to rectify
every error.
What more can the committee expect?
What else can it want? Its duty is to inves-
tigate the Police Department and recommend
what should be done for that departments
Improvement 1t is not concerned-as an
official body at any rate-with the morals
OF private individuals. 1t was not created
for the purpose of hearing the statements
made to the Vice Commission, and then de-
Gliding whether it would give these state
ments the same or another weight and en-
phasis 1t was appointed to find out if any
thing is wrong with the police and to that
end has ample power to require the attend
ance of witnesses With the authority the
committee yields, there should he small diff
fculty, really, in determining whether the
Vice Commissions charges are, in fact, true
or false.
That is the public interest in the matter.
II the men accused, or any other men,
guilty of wrongdoing that affected police ad-
ninstration, the public wants o know it. and
wants to see these wrongdoers punished if
they are guiltless, they deserve and should
receive the most complete exoneration. Half
way measures and Scotch verdicts do not and
will not represent the public conception of
the committees function.
Because do not believe the revelation
of the secret budget can accomplish any
good, we do not favor it, but if the committee
knows any way to make the Vice Commission
turn it over, there is unlikely TO be any
strenuous objection. What we do object to
Is the suggestion that the committee may
seek to make the Vice Commissions recall
citrancy excuse for its own Indifference or
its own failure TO probe to the bottom.
The committee has its own duty, that
should he performed fearessly. vigorously
but with impa rta justice, to every man af-
feced or concerned.

the University Of Pennsylvania penetrated
into this region, found the tribe and heard
anew the old. old story of the tree of knowl-
edge OF good and evil. 1t is strikingly like
the narrative in Genesis. and the stump Of a
petrifedtree is pointed out as the remains of
the tree of knowledge. Probably the pro-
gentors of this tribe brought the tale with
them from Asia thousands and thousands of
years ago.
And so 1t goes It was recently discovered
from certain inscriptions and fragments of
writings that the books of the New Tesla,
ment are far older than the doubling school
