Greece Is Indebted to the
Allies For independence

In glancing over the history OF Greece,
now threatening to enter the war on the
side of the allies, il is interesting to
note that it owes its independence to
those powers.
From the year Ills to 1921, the
Greeks were subject TO the domination
of the Turks.
On Jan. l, 1922, they revolted against
Turkey and declared themselves indie
pendent and engaged in a bitter FIVE
years struggle with their old masters.
They received the aid of the English
Lord Cochrane, who organized their fleet,
and the French Col. Fabrier, who in
structed their armies in European tao
tics,
In spite of this, however, the Turks
continued to triumph everywhere and re-
sisted all pressure put upon them by
other European powers TO make conces-
sions.
A treaty was concluded in London,
July 6, 1927, between Britain, France
and Russia for the pacification of Greece
and when the mediation of these three
powers was declined by the sultan, their
united fleets under Admiral Codrington
attacked and annihilated the Turkish
feet off Navarino, Oct. 20, 1927.
Later on, Feb. 8, 1880, protocol of
the allied powers declared the indepen-
dence of Greece which was recognized
by the Porte in April of the same year.
Ohio, young prince of Bavaria, was
made king.
His power was at first absolute, but
his arbitrary methods and the prepon-
derance he gave to the Germans in gov
eminent caused rebellion and his en-
forced abdication of the throne.
The crown was then offered to Prince
Alfred of England and by him refused.
Prince William George, of Denmark,
was then proclaimed as King George /.
In 1864, the Ionian Isles, an indepen-
dent republic under the protection of
Great Britain, was, through British in
fiuence, annexed to Greece.
Again, in 1881. Turkey was influenced
by the powers composing the triple en-
tente to cede 5000 square miles of Thes-
sally to Greece.
In 1896, an insurrection of Christians
in Crete led to the interference Of Greece
and war with Turkey.
The Turks speedily drove the Greeks
from the northern frontier and overran
Thessaly, and Greece was enabled only
through the efforts Of her former friends
among the great powers to obtain rea-
sonable terms of peace.
1t would seem that the entry of
Greece into the war is made imperative
If she wishes to retain the friendship of
the powerful nations to whom she is in
debted so greatly.
Besides, it is prompted by self-interest
apart from that.
Greece has looked for long with co.
vetous eye upon a group of the many
islands bordering her coast in the
Aegean sea.
The opportunity seems promising to
get her desire.

The Times Exposes This Fake
Advertiser and Police Act!

INTEREST IN HEALER GROWS"
"MR. GALLAGHER, THE MIME
sofa BOY HEALER, USING HIS
WONDERFUL GIFT FOR THE GOOD
OF HUMANITY"
With these display lines, set like a
newspaper heading over a news article,
one j. G. Gallagher lured the desperately
sick and certainly the very poor to No.
IL Lincoln-ave.
Gallagher wrote his ads, which APP
peared only in our morning newspaper,
to make il appear the newspaper was
recommending him In its reference to
his marvellous cures by a power I'M
known even TO himself" to "his natural
gift" and ''the hundreds he had success
fully treated"
The newspaper that accepted his
money had first to be WILLING to make
il appear that it was recommending
Gallagher.
At the bottom of its recommendation
there appeared the word advertise
ment,' because it is required by law,
which law is in itself condemnation of
ALL newspapers because of the purposes
to which CERTAIN newspapers have
been willing to lend their columns.
"A The Times exposed Gallagher when he
first struck town with his fake advertis-
ing; in time, we hope, to keep down the
number of his victims.
Those whom his advertising would at
tract we have characterized as certain
" the very poor because they are gen.
orally the incurable whom long suffering
and heavy bills for doctors and medicine
have made very poor.
They ought to be the last persons in
the world from whom anybody laying
claim to conscience could take a dollar
dishonestly.
When Gallagher persisted in buying
Newspaper space and when the morning
paper persisted in taking the tainted
money he was glad to pay for the space,
the police acted upon this newspapers
exposure and Wednesday he was invited
by Police Superintendent Downey to
make his choice between quitting. the lay
ing ON Of hands and getting out of town.
He told the superintendent he would
depart forthwith.
We commend the police and congratu-
late the unfortunate blind and lame, the
sickly and diseased who escaped the boy

It's what we call good radiance.
That is to say, we are glad to let you

Progress of the Short Ballot
~ oR.'FRANk CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The principle in a government by the
people is that every officeholder shall be
elected directly by the voters.
In its practical working out. however,
this principle has been made to defeat
the ends of democracy and 70 strengthen
the hands Of the political boss and his
party.
For the ballot has been so overloaded
with names that the voter is confused,
utterly unable TO decide upon the merits
Of each OF the long list of names pre-
sented, and in despair votes the straight
ticket.
OF course this is precisely what the
party machine wants him to do. The
bosses consequently, as rule, favor an
incomprehensible ballot. The longer
the better; vote the straight ticket and
save bother. To remedy this, public
spirited citizens are advocating a short
ballot. That means, instead Of voting
for every public officer, vote for one Tor,
a few and give him the power to APP
point others, holding him responsible.
/ This Is good sense. II is just the pro-
cedure of business concern. 1T IN

The National Short Ballot association,
Of which Woodrow Wilson is PRESIDENT
and many distinguished men are officers,
is actively pushing its propaganda.
The recent messages Of various gov-|
errors TO their legislatures show the idea|
to be growing. The report of the as
sociation gives an interesting resume oil
these messages.
Gov. Fielder, of New Jersey, recon-
mends the appointment of tax assessors
under civil service rules, as their elec-|
ton involves them disastrously in poll
itics.
Gov. Capper, of Kansas, would make
not only the principal state offices ap-|
pointive, but county Offices as well

raj address.

kota, and others.

Salaries For Statues On
the City Hall May Be Next

Carrying Goals to Newcastle, stealing
second when the bag is occupied and
trumping your partners trick are classic
examples Of wasted energy.
Another is, to advise the aldermen not
to grant salary increases this year.
The only trouble the city fathers carry
with them to their beds, o. nights, is that
there are few unfortunates on the city
payroll for whom no salary increases
have been asked.
II Is said that plan is on foot to
give salaries to the statues on the city
hall, and pensions to the surviving rela-
tives of FIR. Richard, if any can be dis
covered.
For the aldermen are going to ask the
people of Detroit to raise their salaries
from 81 200 to $500 a year.
Il The request will take the form of a
charter amendment, to be voted on,
April 5.
OF course, no alderman who wants his
pay raised would not be so ungenerous as
to refuse an increase to the city rat
catcher, or the chap who fishes from the
municipal dock.
In other words, in order to get 81 300
year for himself, an alderman is per-
fectly willing, nay, eager. to take about
$500 900 out of the pockets of the tax
payers in additions to the salaries of
everybody in sight.
This is not only civic patriotism-it
Is representative government.
There are few aldermen, like John
Lodge, James Vernon and Bert Allan,
who are opposed to the grab.
Z They don't need the money" cry the
others.
