Only one boat was swung out on its

Hellenism as a whole have been the
one and only policy of Greece to the
present moment. This policy she will
continue to the end"
In these words, spoken in quick, en-
ergetic English. King Constantine, of
Greece. outlined TO me the attitude Of
his country regarding the European
war.
He had received me in his study in
his palace. which he occupied while
crown prince and which he now re-
tains by preference. This palace is
smaller than the main royal palace
and has a more home-like character
and atmosphere. There he lives sur
rouaded by the Queen, sister of the
Kaiser, and their six children-three
princes and three princesses-in per-
haps the most domestic life that any
European monarch enjoys. His
Majesty wore the uniform of a Greek
general and his entire manner and
conversation was essentially that of
a military man. At all times he dis
played the quickness of thought and
action which won him wonderful
reputation during the Balkan wars as
the greatest of modern military
strategists.
"In the recent decision of the
Crown" he continued, that Greece
could not accept the invitation of the
allies to enter the war at that time.

later be returned to power, we will
work together tremendously as be-
fore for the common realization OF
Greece's national aspirations"
What may these aspirations be,
your Majesty"
They are merely the desire for ma
tional unity to which the Greek
people by reason Of their long his
torical past. believe they are entitled"
was the reply. 1T ever has been the
mission of Greece TO carry civilization
to the entire world AS Greece ex-
pands now. and in her future capacity,
that mission will be increased"
In passing from the subject Of
Greece's war attitude. the King spoke
of the Greek immigration to the
United States. saying:
Your capacity for absorption of the
races is marvellous. Already 100000
of our Greeks have found ample OPP
portunity for education and develop
ment in the United States The best
evidence of all this is the fact that
hardly day passes but that some OF
"- s"niects write me. not in
their native Greek. as you would i'm
agine, but in English. While becom-
ing good American citizens. they have
not forgotten their love for the
motherland. During the Balkan wars
everyone who could possibly do so re-
turned to take up arms for the home
country. Those who could not come
sent their equally important moral
support.
Modern Greece has also developed
the same capacity for absorption and
has made rapid progress in the new
provinces, which came back to us as
result of the above wars. There is
now hardly a single man in them who
does not speak Greek"
The King spoke with the utmost
enthusiasm about the battleships
Mississippi and Idaho. which Greece
purchased from the United States at
critical moment and which at that
time became an important instru-
ment for peace. giving. as it did, the
Greek navy a preponderance over the
Turkish. which it has since maintain
ed. His Majesty made no effort to
conceal his joy over the result Of this
successful coup over the Turks.
Have you seen those warships?"
he inquired. Have you been on board
of them? They are magnificent ships
and / have been on them under all
conditions; when firing, their gunnery
is excellent. They have contributed
materially toward the development of
the Greek navy and will continue to
do so for years"

Commission REGRETS
SAMUEL BANCROFT'S death

At the meeting of the Board of Park
Commissioners yesterday afternoon,
resolutions on the death of Samuel
Bancroft. Jr., we're adopted. The reso-
buttons were prepared and presented
by Jerome b. Bell. The resolutions
were:
THE Board of Park Commissioners
of Wilmington. Del, records with deep
regret the death of one of its mem
bers-Samuel Bancroft, Jr.--which
occurred on April %. It would be
needless here to peak in detail of Mr..
Bancroft's prominence and worth as
a citizen. His activities ring his
adult life were intimately and effec-
lively associated with very many of
the larger interests of his native city,
and it was natural therefore that the
development of our park system
should command a liberal share OF his
attention and of his services. For
nearly twenty years he was a member
of this board. but his influential inter
est in park matters began long before
he accepted appointment as a park
commissioner, and continued unre-
mittingly until his death.
I'VE would be doing less than our
duty to the memory of worthy fell
low citizen if we failed TO note the
fact that Mr. Bancroft's influence as
a park commissioner was progressive
within conservative lines. and that he
was generally a pronounced and per-
sistent advocate of those things which
in his judgment were likely to pro-
mote the betterment of the city as
whole either as to park DEVELOPMENT
or otherwise.
ITO the members of his family. who
are of course. the greatest losers by
his death, this Board extends its sin
