A BRIDE FOR GREECE.

Different circumstances can bring
about varied opinions, and probably no
accident in all history has given rise to
SO many theories of war, government
and people. Each person has his own
peculiar idea of the many things which
are done and pndone.
A spectacular efature of the late
days of the conflict has been the flat
tering offer Of the island of Cyprus to
Greece in payment for her participa-
ton in the war on the side of the en-
tente allies. This has Greece declined.
Greece has been placed in the light
of nations-the on-looker as a traitor.
A treaty bound Greece to Serbia should
she be attacked by Bulgaria.
Already with conduct despicable
among nations, she cannot truly spurn
the offer of England. She is certainly
none too good to sell herself, for she is
q liar among men.
In several incidents have we be-
moaned the price of mammon and
greed which has been placed upon the
future OF nation. 1t truly appears as
If all mankind has forsaken the great
and living God of all, to follow the low
and paltry ways of mammon.
We are of the opinion that little hon
Or is left among any of the nations.
None are too good to stoop in their con-
dact for the sake of gain.

GEORGIA STATE FAIR.

The Georgia State Fair has opened
at Macon, from all indications the
greatest crowds in the history of fairs
in this section of the country will wit
ness the events and exhibits at Macon
between October 26th and November
5th.
| The fair has been styled "The Edu-
cational Fair" and with the attraction
being under the auspices of the Geor-
gia State Agricultural Society, two
important branches of state work have
been joined for the advancement and
best interests of the state.
The two great undeveloped forces in
Georgia today are agriculture and edu-
cation. Both have been neglected
through the failure of the public to
properly gauge the necessity of their
existence and highest development
Georgia ranks very low in the scale
of states in the matter of education
Her per capita for the education for
her children is exceedingly and dis
tressingly low. In agriculture her
farmers have been content to raise cot
ton, and nothing else. Day in and day
cut year after year, they have walled
about the farmer being ground to the
soil. But whose fault is it in the main.
The farmer himself has neglected eb-
cry opportunity, the advance in agri-
culture.
1t is with much pleasure that the
awakening in Georgia has been noted.
County and state fairs have been of
great assistance, but the advance of the
boil weevil has brought large num-
Der of the tillers of the soil to their
senses. 1t is no time for petty quib-
bling. but it is time-and high time
that our farmers should make use of
the wonderful information which is
laid at their feet, and for their own
best interests.
Large numbers of farmers are ex-
pected to attend the State Fair at Ma
con, and it is hoped that they will
lrofit by the scientific and practical
ideas which will be presented to them
for inspection and proof
The day of diversiication is at hand,
and whether the farmer diversifies is
to judge his future.

 Can an umpire make a correct de- cision on a play that is being made while he {the umpire) is sliding along over the turf on the point of. his sneezng apparatus? Umpire Stock dale, of the Tener circuit says it can be done; New York fans take the negative.
 During a recent game in Gotham one of the visiting players started to steal third Stockdale raced over to- ward third but stumbled, fell and slid on his nose just as the play was be- ing made.

 Fred Clark. boss of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is so mad at Fred Snodgrass that he may never speak to him again. The reason:
 When Snodgrass was let out by the Giants Clarke wanted Snodgrass to sign with the Pirates. The Braves wanted Snedgrass to sign with them. And just at that very moment hoth tho Pirates and Braves were about oven-tephen in tho National league feht.
 Well tho next day tho Pirates lost and the Braves grabbed a double beaaer which resulted in the Braves moving nearer to the ton and the Pirates nearer to the bottom. of the National league heap. Whereupon he shrewd Mr Snodgrass chose the wiser course by signing up with the team whose pennant chances looked the better.
 And now Fred Clarke is terribly | trgaw because he claims Snndgrass ,romised him that he wouldn't sign with anyone until he gave Clarke another chance to talk business. I

Divergence of His Views and

of Resignation.
lBy Cable to The Tribun, J

London. April 2t.-The Athens corre-
spondent of "The Daily Chronicle"
sends copy of a letter written to King
Constantine of Greece, dated January
II, by his then Premier, NJ. Fenizelos.
The reason for tho latters resignation
and subsequent departure from the
kingdom may undoubtedly be traced to
the Kings failure to see eye to eye
with his minister on questions of the
major interests of the kingdom. Ex-
tracts from the letter follow:
"Sire: Up till to-day our policy has
consisted of the maintenance or neu-
trality so long as our obligations as
the allies of Serbia do not demand that
we should depart from 1t, but now we
are requested to enter into the war,
rot only to fulfil simple moral obliga-
tions, but for concessions which, II
realized, would create a great and pow
erful Greece, such as even the most OPP
timistc would not have imagined a few
years ago.
IF we, by continuing to remain neu-
trial. allow Serbia to be annihilated by
a new Austro-German invasion, we
shall have no guarantee that the Aus
tro-German troops will stop before they
reach the Macedonian frontier, ana
might be tempted TO come south, as far
