Electric Cars To
J'Ville This Week

Medford Sun: The Southern Ore
gon Traction Company will operate
cars to Jacksonville by the end of
next week, and expect to inaugurate
a service from the Siskiyou Heights
district to the county seat by the end
OF February. The present workmen
will be kept on the job, and work be-
gun about the first of the year on
the Siskiyou Heights extension
through the Hillcrest addition. The
finishing touches are now being put
on the Jacksonville line. 1t was
feared for a time that the east side
route would be discontinued, and the
announcement will be welcome news
to the suburbanites. S. s. Bulls is
now in the east, and upon his return
is expected to have an announcement
regarding still further development
of the service.

nothing more than the substituting of

an article OF fiction in a standard

Realizing the curiosity that may
be aroused in the mind of the begin

possibility of harm to the boy who
might attempt the experiment, 1t
seems only proper that few words
be spoken regarding the third light
experiment that may be made by
youthful electricians following the
publication of an article in one OF
our popular magazines, entitled The
Third Light
"The article purports to convey
certain information based upon prac-

as there appears drawing of equip
ment and circuit arrangement which
is misleading and not in conformity
to the thought expressed by the writer

CONSTANTINE
IN L|MEL|GHT
The Man Of the Hour In the
Balkans.
T<HE king of the Hellenes-tO give

T<HE king of the Hellenes-to give
him his constitutional title-is
beyond question the man OF
the moment in European do
ings. He appears to hold the whip
hand in Greek affairs. He has the
army with him and If he SO wills can
seriously interfere with the plans OF
the allies In their defense against the
advancing hosts Of the Teutonic pow
ers.
He has forced Venizelos for the time
being into the background and has
shown that. although king only by
consent of parliament, he intends to be
a real king while parliament is not sit
ting and a king with the highest inter
ests at heart of country he loves and
in the future greatness of which he
has an answering faith.
Constantine represents the more con-
servative classes in the Greek nation
and SO far as he can do so constitutions
ally voices their present belief that
Greece is safe only in avoiding interna-
tional ENHANCEMENT and doomed If she
listens to the call of Mars.
As regards family relationships, Con-
stantine is in peculiar situation. His
wife is a sister Of the kaiser, but, on
the other hand, his mother was cousin
of the Russian czar.
Constantine's career began in the
army. But what life Of ups and
downs has been his since he first Joined
the colors! 1t never was much of an
army anyway-in fact, it was sort Of
laughingstock among the military men
of other nations-until he began to find
out where it failed and helped to es-
tablish reforr,s that raised Its dignity
as fighting force. But he had to fight
against intense opposition from vari-
Gus quarters, and the unpopularity OF
the royal family of which he was q

member did not help him greatly in his
efforts. In 1897, when he was twenty.
eight, he was in charge of the troops
when Greece entered upon her disas-
trous campaign against the Turks. He
did the best he could with the two
dollar rifles bought from the French,
but he had to suffer the blame for
nonsuccess when 1t came. he and his
brothers were actually booted" out Of
the service later, and it was not I'M
til the Balkan wars came on that he
had a chance to redeem himself and
show the tough stuff of which he was
made.
At the age Of forty-three the crown
prince found himself at the head of an
army improved almost out of recogni-
ton by the efforts of Venizelos and
others and brought home the spoils of
glorious war to an enthusiastic and
united people. 1t was an extra0rdi.
nary rehabilitation of seemingly Ill
starred military career. In one day,
almost. the man had risen from the
depths of unpopularity to the very
height of national favor. When the
war closed and he had succeeded his
father whO had been assassinated at
Saloniki in 1919, war medal in his
honor was struck by the Greek gov.
ernment. On the medal Constantine
was called "Bulgarochthonos' (Bulgar
killer, and the inscription read. 'To
the Bulgar killing King"
Everything that has occurred since
the accession of Constantine-th quar-
reling that has gone on between the
king and Venizelos, the breakdowns Of
ministries, the charges Of mendacity
that have been hurled against the late
prime minister by his monarch and the
uncertainty that has existed regard
ing the immediate attitude of Greece
toward the warning nations-all show
that the man on the throne has policy
and that he is carrying It out with all
the firmness and character he possesses.
The kings policy is that Of a strict
neutrality and the avoidance Of any
ENHANCEMENT which will interfere with
the political and economic building up
Of the nation as 1t now stands. The
policy Of Venizelos is to hold to the
nations obligations and to support the
cause Of the allies not only because Of |
the dangers which any other policy |
would involve, but also because Of the
advantages which would accrue to
Greece II the allies won.
