Greece on the Verge OF Mar

TT begins TO look now as though Greece
would confound the prophets and enter
the European war in advance Of either Italy
or Roumana. For this change in the prob
abilities the allied attack on the Dardanelcs
and the expected onslaught OF the Russian
Black Sea fleet on the forts at the entrance
to. the Bosporus furnish an all-sutlicient cx-
PLANTATION.
After Turkey had cast in her lot with Ger
many and Austria II was difficult to under
stand how Greece would find ii possible to
maintain her neutrality and conserve her ma
tional interests. AS the reward of victory
in the two Balkan wars. Greece found her
self in possession of considerable territory
that formerly had been under the Turkish
flag. That territory she stood an excellent
chance Of losing whether Germany or the
allies finally were victorious, if she kept out
Of the conflict. If Germany won, it would

Co-Opcration OF Right Sor;

THE manner in which the outbreak of
foot-and mouth disease among Virginia
cattle has been handled by every one con

q the maxim that eternal vigilance is the
