Says the Question Of Her Terri
torial Integrity Once Settled.
Greece Will Enter the War
ON the Side of the Allies.

have good claim on Southern Albania
to line near Durazzo should that creation
of Austrian diplomacy be doomed 10 partition
between Greece, Serbia and brave httlo
Montenegro.
Speaking Of Serbia, Greece has been trus
and faithful ally OF hers in this war. Although
no Greek troops took part in the campaign
against Austria, still, Serbians had all the as
sistance good neighbor could give in an hour
of trials such as heroic Serbia has had TO en-
dure in the last ten months.
As for the Greek relations with the other
Balkan states, there is a noticeable friendliness
to be oberved between Athens and Bucharest
although Grace Rumanian cooperation in
the Peninsula is not as yet sufficiently efee- /,
tive Bulgaria, on the other hand, remains tho
dark spot of the situation. Ambitious as they
are, the Bulgars are not 10 be satisfied with
anything short OF the occupation Of the whole
of Macedonia, and Greece is not willing 20
allow this, by any means On the contrary,
Greece supports Bulgaria in its claims on
Adrianople and Eastern Thrace, which arc
free to the Bulgars for the taking If tho
patriots of Sofa, coming to their senses, could
restitution of the territory taken from them by
Rumana after the second Balkan war, and
rectihcation Of the Serbo-Bulgarian frontiers
in Macedonia, there would be nothing in the
way of the Balkan states joining the Allies
against Turkey and her Teutonic comrades in
arms Grsco- Bulgarian relations might i'm
prove and peace be permanently established in
the Near East.
As things are to-day, neither Greece nor
Rumania is willing to go to the assistance
of the Triple Entente long as they are
not immune from Bulgarian aggression, and
as this is perfectly well known in Vienna
and Berlin every effort is being made by
German diplomacy to keep Sofia in the
present neutral and menscng status.
To say that German diplomacy has been
successful at Athens In the same way as IL
was In Bulgaria does not correspond with
the actual facts. In Greece IL is the people
and no one else that counts. As for King
Constantine, he is too much of Greek
himself to be carried away by any other
considerations, and as for his wife, IL is
only fair to say that she is a most devoted
consort and as affectionste mother ever
has been, to play any other role in the Royal
Palace at Athens. As for the Crown Prince
George, his political ideas have not as yet
been expressed to any onej but as matter
of fact he himself cannot deviate from the
splendid example of his father, who knew
how TO win entire Greece and live up
to the motto of his dynasty, which pro-
claims MY strength is the love of my
people"
Greece therefore has distinct policy to
follow, and this will be to protect and pro-
mote it's national interests by every effort
and means. The Greek people to-day at
the poll, will dictate their terms to king
and government-and what the people
want in free countries, that as a rule goes.

pace tor the other neutral countries OF the
Balkan peninsula. Mr.. Venizelos was quick
IN realizing that the moral aspect Of Greek
intervention was more interesting to the
Allies than the material He understood that
Greece having once entered the war, Bulgaria
as well as Rumania had to follow suit in
order to extricate themselves from the diff
cult position in which they were to find them
selves before the Allies In this way Mr..
Venzelos was trying to win over the SYM
pathes and the support of the Allies. while on
the other hand he was working for the fulfil
ment OF the secular dreams of Hellenism.

Not only George Carothers and Senior Car
dozo but am inclined to believe that even
Duval West, President Wilson's special pri-
vate envoy has been misnformed by the
enemies Of our cause and thus has to an
tent delivered report not wholly optimistic
regarding the achievements of the Constitu-
tonalists and the great progress made by the
Carranza administration toward the rehabili-
taton of Mexico.
In this neither President Wilson nor Mr..
West is 10 be blamed 1t is not they who
are at fault but it is their sources of infor-
nation that have caused them to be led amiss
The very same reactonsries of whom the
Dictator Huerta is the symbol, who are now
clamoring for Intervention in Merico for the
sake Of the poor and starving people there,
have never lifted finger to better the
dtions of them while they were in power.
In fact, it is they who largely response
bic for the present tragic state in our UNI
fortunate country.
So long as Villa showed any fighting spirit
in him at all so long as they thought that he
could by his treachery and armed force an
initiate the revolution, they lived in selfsatis-
fed peace in the United States. In those days
they gave little thought, little consideration
to the starving Mexicans. All they were con-
cerned about was General Villa.
But when General Oregon shattered the
forces of their idol in the battle of Celaya,
when he delivered to him the final crushing
blow at Leon, they awoke to the realization
that they must act and act quickly they
would be lost. II is then that they started
the well laid scheme of the starving Mex
leo" and the needed aid Of the Red Gross.

OF them who while in power in Mexico never
have been prompted by single desire to aid
the people, who always hated openly the Amer
lean people, enjoy the liberty and the hos
pitaIty of nation that they have grossly
abused, a nation conceive in liberty, true
democracy 1t is. indeed, trago-oomedy to
see the oppressors and usurpers OF Mexicos
rights seek the "amalgametion OF all the po-
litcal parties in Mexico" All this is ire
merdous farce. and the only sad and serious
aspect of the matter is that they have been
able in manner to interest the administra-
ton in their plans.
The Wilson administration and its policies
always have inspired great respect, represent
ing, as it does. the liberty-loving desires of
the American Union whose tendencies always
have been to protect the people from the
mcnopolistic desires OF the few. This very
same element against which the Wilson ad-
ministraton has been guarding, is now at
tempting 70 use the administration for the
purpose OF establishing in Mexico an i'm
perialistic dictatorship against the wishes and
tendencies OF the people. Undoubtedly the
present critical situation in Europe has over
Swallowed everything, and it is possible that
President Wilson has not had sufficient time
10 devote TO the complex problems OF the
Mexican conflict Unfortunately, also, his
source of information has been in most cases
either intentionally unintentonally biased
All indications prove that George Caroth-
ers, the special United States representative
with General Villa, has been very partial to
the Northern leader. In all manners posi-
bic he has tried to whitewssh and justify the
transgressions and misdeeds of Villa The

This national dream once shattered, it re-
mains for Greece to ask compensatons else
where and Asia Minor has been suggested.
Any one who has been in that part OF the
Levant and is familiar with the character and
the conditions OF the country will agree that
once the Turk is driven out therefrom Greece
is the natural successor in this dominion; the
predominating element all over Asia Minor is
Greek; the only element which represents
civilization in that country-outside some
thousands of foreign residents-is the Greek.
The intellectual value of the Turk in Asia
Minor is nearly nil; he may be good laborer,

No one knows it better than the enemies of
the revolutionists including Huerta and his
colleagues the reactionares, that the cry of
starving Mexico is grossly exaggerated. The
information concerning the food conditions
sent by Senior Cardos is highly colored L
have Just completed trip covering more than
half of the republic and going right TO Cen
eral Obregon's camp, and nowhere have l
found the suffering so glazing as portrayed by
the press Of the United States. The reason
is very obvious one. Villa has been COM
petely vanquished. The reactionary forces
realize that the only thing left for them 70
do now is to get the United States to inter-
vene and save their i'll gotten wealth. Hence
all this campaign to arouse the public opinion
OF the people for the necessary bloody step.
That the conditions are really not as bad
as they arc pictured | need only quote the
words OF Duval West as he spoke them to
Senior Carranza upon his arrival at Vera Cruz
after an extensive trip through the territory
controlled by the Constituencies II con-
graduate you" he said sincerely upon the
amount of crops and paintings I personally
observed in the territory controlled by the
Constitutionslists which I have just traversed
on my journey from Mexico City to Vera
Cruz" Does this sound like the dispatches
and the claims OF the press that the crops are
all destroyed and that starvation is the fate
OF all Mexico?
In Mexico the people view with distrust the
activities of the Rel Cross. Not that we do
not appreciate their kind Offices and their gen
erous endeavors, but because We fear that like
the Church and the clergy, the Cientifieos
might use them as an agency OF intrigues.

The hostility displayed toward the dictator
Victoriano Huerta has been converted into
spirit OF benevolence 1t is an inspiration and
invitation to the other reactionaries, for
Huerta is only symbol and representative OF
the Centihcos, now united with the Con-
servative party Both Of those parties Bit
terly oppose the granting OF liberty and SUI
frage 10 the Mexican people. The hands OF
Huerta and his associates, who caused the
unnecessary strife between the United States
and Mexico bringing about the landing OF
troops az Vera Cruz and the sacrifice OF lives,
are seen everywhere.
Here in the United States, far away from
the wrath OF the Mexican people, these men
have found a haven of rest. From here they
pull the strings and foment strife and plot
their dark schemes. In the workings Of the
c conference, in the assistance that is
being given to General Francisco Villa, in
the open and unfounded hostility displayed by
the American representatives in Mexico
toward General Oregon and the First Chief
Carranza end now finally in the campaign
inaugurated as "the hungry and suffering
Mexico" in all those deeds the hands OF the
Huerta and Cientihco plotters are visible.
For long time they based their hope on
General Villa. SO long as they thought that
he was strong enough to defeat the Consti-
tutionalists they supported him. But he failed
them, failed them bitterly and shamefully. This
the reactionares have realized, and they set
out to promulgste other plans to thwart the
success OF the true revolutionists. Nothing has
been spared by them; everything and every
l.

To the Mexican people it appears as COM
ical to see Huerta and his associates all

a hard working farmer, docile employe, but
he never was able to become an efficient
master.
Greece is the titular proprietor Of Asia
Minor; nevertheless, starting from the point
that the powers of the Triple Entente are in
the war for their interests and not those of
the other peoples, we cannot reasonably expect
that Asia Minor will be given to Greece as a
compensation for the assistance she may give
the Allies in crushing the Turk. But certain
part of that Turkish province will be given to
the Greeks, if they are to be rewarded at ALL
How much is this going to be? Was Mr.. Vent
zeos right in claiming that the Entente powers
had promised him the Villayets of Smyrna
and Broussa? The larger part of the Greek
opinion does not subscribe to that statement,
for the only reason that it sounds too good to
be true.
But even assuming this to be the case,
Greece does not want to expand in Asia Minor
by losing ground in Europe and for this rea-
son there is not the slightest possibility of
Greece ceding part of Macedonia to Bull
garia More than that, the Hellenic
Kingdom is entitled to some consdera-
ton, even in Macedonia, where large part
Of the Greek element has not been incorporat-
ed into the kingdom after the two Balkan
wars And for the same reason Greece would

The intervention OF Greece was an almost
foregone conclusion, when King Constantine
suddenly disagreed with his Premier, the rea-
son for the disagreement being that the King
wanted some guarantees from the powers OF
the Triple Entente before leading his people
into war. Greece was to send an army and
her feet against the Strait and declare war
against Turkey; the King had no objection to
this But would the Macedonian frontier OF
the kingdom be immune from Bulgarian agrees
sion? Would Greece have a share in the
partition Of Asatic Turkey? The powers Of
the Entente had given some vague promises
to Mr.. Venizeos to that effect; but would they
repeat these promises in the shape of more
tangible guarantees to the Hellenic Kingdom'
The Premier answered that he could not ask
for special guarantees as long as he had the
promises Of the powers Of the Triple Entente.
King Constantine considered that he could not
drag the country into war without putting the
question to the electorate Thereupon he &C
cepted Mr. Venizelos's resignation, dissolved
the Chamber and called for general election,
which is being held to-day all over Greece.
The Hellenic people have to decide be-
tween two questions to-day: Shall Greece
enter the war on the side of the Allies,
with only the promises given by the Triple

Entente to Mr.. Venizelos, will she insist
on special guarantees Of her territorial in
teerity before joining in the conflict, as
King Constantine, the General Staff of the
army and the new ministry of Mr.. D. Gou-
naris have demanded?
In the first instance favorable answer
on the part of the Hellenic electorate will
mean the immediate return TO power OF Mr.,
Venizsos and the simultaneous entrance
Of Greece into the war; in the second in
stance Greece will delay its cooperation
with the powers Of the Entente until
guarantee is received regarding the terri
torial integrity of the country and its future
concentrations in Asia Minor.
As things stand to-day in Greece the
proposed new war appears in the light OF
an unpleasant necessity.
The question Of fighting the hated Turk, and
Iiberating the millions Of Greeks suffering
under his tyranny in Asia Minor is viewed with
enthusiasm by the entire Greek nation, but in
face of this pleasant prospect there rises rhe
Bulgarian danger threatening the newly ac-
ouired Grace Macedonian territories, for
which Greece has shed her hearts blood.
Therefore. Greece cannot and will not fight as
long as she is not immune from Bulgarian
aggression. In case the Greek people decide

for war she is sure to strengthen all the Mace
donian garrisons before sending a single
soldier against the Dardaneles.
One might ask at this stage, What is the
Greek spirit of to-day? To answer this ques-
ton one must bear in mind the way in which
Greek interests, Greek aspirations and Greek
ideals are affected by the present war. The
Hellenic nation after two victorious but never
theless costly wars, is justly feeling that it is
entitled 70 some necessary rest; her greatest
interest lies in preservation Of peace. But the
fact being that this peace so longed for is i'm
possible it becomes necessary for Greece to
protect and promote her interests by force OF
arms the immediate point of her efforts being
the realization Of her national aspirations and
ideals.
Unfortunately, one Of the fondest dreams Of
the Hellenic people, the reoccupation Of Con-
stantnople and the rebuilding of the Bryan
tine Empire, seems to become day by day
more remote and more impossible while the
shadow of Savdom is lowering over the city
of Constantine the First and the sanctuary of
Santa Sophia. It is true that no one among
the Greeks expects the Russian occupation OF
Constantinople to be long or definite one;
but nevertheless the fact remains that if
Greece to-day enters the war it will not be for
the acquisition of Constantinople.
