GREECE ACTS TOO LATE

King Constantine, of Greece, Is
beginning to show a little backbone
in his dealings with the Allies. 1t is
not so much which side of the war
Greece goes on as it is that she shows
some disposition TO look after her
own interests.
1t is plain now that King Constar-
tine is decidedly in favor of the
Teuton cause. As matter of fact
this has been known from the begin
ming, but he apparently has been
afraid to show his hand so that with
out any opposition on his part, the
Allies have occupied a large part Of
| Greek territory; have seized prac-
tically all of the Greek navy and
taken possession of Greek fortifica-
; tions. Now, as a last resort, the
Allies have ordered the representa-
tives of Germany, Austria and Bull
garia to quit Athens. At the same
time Allied troops have been ordered
i to take possession of the Greek capi-
tai. Only now has the King begun
to defy the Allies. He has instructed
his troops to resist Allied occupation
of the public buildings in Athens by
force if necessary.
But it is plain to all that this action
LOFT ;a ;,N
the grasp of the Allies, and any oppo-
, sition that Greece can offer now in an
effort to shake off this grip will only
mean useless bloodshed.
If, however. when the Allies first
attempted to occupy Greece, the
Greeks had resisted, there is no doubt
that Germany would have come to
her assistance, and while Greece
would have been made a battlefield
for the time being, she would, at
least, have saved her self-respect. At
the present time it looks as if she
was going to be made a battlefield
anyway, and she has already lost the
respect of the world by her vacillat-
ing attitude toward the belligerents.
1t is hardly likely that what troops
are now loyal to the King of Greece
will be able to make q stand of any
consequence against the Allied forces,
but we cannot help but admire any
determination on the part of any
nation to stand up for its rights. This
is what won world wide sympathy for
Belgium at the outset of the war, and
it would have won equal sympathy
for Greece had she shown a similar
determination in the beginning.

THE SATISFACTORY COURSE

The state board of canvassers did
the raalY thing possible in fairness to
an Wfen it postponed its decision i'll
the matter of granting certificate of
election for congressman In the third
district While the face of returns
showed Mr. Carson has a majority of
eleven, the recount has already
brought out one glaring error in
Monmouth county, so that Mr.. Scully
has increased his vote to a tie with
Mr. Carson, even without counting
the many ballots that have been put
aside to be passed upon by the
supreme court justice.
As the count goes on Mr.. Scully
may gain still more without regard
to the referred ballots. 1t stands 20
reason, therefore, that no man should
have the formal decision of election
by the state board of canvassers until
the recount is completed
To have given Mr.. Carson the GER
lllcdle Ol eleCllOH NOulu nave pldCeu
credentials in his hands by which he
could go to Washington when the
next congress convenes and demand
his seat. At the same time, should
the recount show that Mr.. ScuIly is
elected, he also would have to he
given his credentials and he, too,
would lay claim to the seat from the
third district. This would leave the
decision in the hands of the House of
Representatives, where it is very
likely the result would depend upon
which party had a majority in the
House.
The people OF the third district
have a right to decide this matter for
themselves. and the only way it can
be decided is to complete the recount
and act according to the find thereby.
This is fair to Mr.. Carson as well as
Mr.. Scully, and we believe the people
will be satisfied with the outcome.

VILLA IN THE LIMELIGHT

The situation in Mexico today
shows that the United States govern
ment has very serious proposition
on its hands In that direction. With
villa now In command of a whole
state in the northern part of Mexico.
and with Carranza's army retreating
In disorder toward Jaurez, 1t is ap-
parent that the provisional govern
ment of Mexico is not in a position
to restore order
No doubt Villa has timed his attack
on Chihuahua City for the sole pur-
pose of discrediting any effort to
reach an agreement on the part of
the International commission in ses-
sion at Atlantic City. If this was his
intention he has met with flatterInp
success. At present the conference
has agreed to withdraw General
Pershing's forces from northern
Mexico within forty days, and all that
Is now necessary is the consent OF
Garranza to the agreement to put
this into commission. But judging
from the way things are moving now
Carranza's agreement will have little
effect, as it is plain that there is
plenty Of work for Pershing to do In
Mexico, and to withdraw him now
would be very much like Withdrawing
