Clouds Over Greece.

What does the future bold for Greece? This
is a question that has been asked many times in
the last few months but never answered. No man
can predict with any degree of certainty what is
to be the fate of this little nation in the maelstrom
of the worlds worst war. Had Greece thrown
her lot with the entente at the beginning of the
struggle she today probably would be fighting
victoriously toward the triumph that seems almost
certain to crown the allies efforts.
But Greece was ruled by pro-German king.
II was surrounded by pro-German court and
shortly after the outbreak of the war pro-German
officers in control Of the Greek army The
King abrogated constitutional government, robbed
the pro-entente Venzelos of most of his power
and started rule in which Parliament had little,
if any voice. But the people of Greece sympa-
thized with the allies. The result is that today
more than half of Greece is in revolt, Venizclos
has established his own government and many Of
the people are supporting it.
Greece has been likened to Belgium in her
suffering from the war, but attempts to show that
the entente has treated Greece as Germany treated
Belgium cannot be expected to be successful Ger
many drove over whole people. The entente is
driving over King If the entente should drive
him out the future of Greece might seem brighter.

DEFENDS WILSON RULE.
James :. RoIIow, of New York,
Gives Reasons for Support.

New York City.
To Editor The Herald:
The people should rise en- masse and
vote as one person for President Wilson
and a Democratic majority in the upper
and lower Houses Of Congress, for two
reasons II for nothing more!
l. The present administration under the
leadership Of the President has accom-
plished an enormous amount Of reform
and constructive legislation and many
state and diplomatic achievements.
2 The Republican party does not ad-
vance any logic for its return to power.
but confines itself to evading any state
ment as to what it would or would not
do if in power and to much abuse Of
the Democratic party.
The Republicans are afraid, II our
present regime continues, the country Will
be in such a sound and prosperous co1-
dition and our President so popular and
respected the world over for his progress
sil eness, his fearlessness and able con-
duct it will be well nigh impossible
for them to become a power again in
the government Of the country.
The people are progressing and have
become dissatisfied with ANTICIPATED and
reactionary methods. They do not want
sEecial laws enacted for a favored few.
The Democratic administration has shown
a way to emancipate the people by In
telligent and broad ideals IN government
and the people are ready 10 break away
from the shackles that have restrained
them
Our opponents claim the only way 20
save this country from destruction and
chaos is the high protective tariff. For
making the wealthy wealthier and for
restraining trade at home and abroad
it is the course TO pursue. II has proved
itself so in the past A revision Of the
tariff may be necessary after the war.
This problem will be met as all other
questions of state have been met by our
present able and far-sighted admins
ira stion. There could not he a more SEN
sible solution Of this veXing question OF
tariff than has been provided by the
Democratic Administrations nonparti-
san commission 70 take over the problem.
Our President should be thanked for
havingS the courage Of his convictions
and for changing his mind as often as
necessary to get at the bottom and root
Of the many evils with which he has
had to contend.

about all appreciation. These systems, which have

peal to the United States for the creation of sup
Elementary ambulance service, together with funds

These ambulance corps have been the object Of the

President Wilson decries those who would raise
the issue of sectonalism and is equally vehement
in denouncing religious prejudices. Therefore it
may be presumed that Vance Mccormick is act
ing his initiative in sending out from
Democratic headquarters blanks upon which the
religion Of the voter is sought in the information
for canvass. Nevertheless, it is a very dangerous
precedent to follow in politics, and any appeal
based upon religious grounds is very apt to prove
a boomerang. Wilson or Hughes will not be
elected by the votes of any one denomination or
religion and the Democratic executives are estab-
fishing precedent that they may regret

Raising a membership from 300 to 5000 in the
short space of ten months is an achievement for
which the District branch Of the American Red

the satisfaction of knowing that the philanthropies
dispensed by the District chapter are largely con-
fined to our own city. Let everybody resolve to

Germany in the role of peace champion lends
weight to the argument she is waging a strictly
bent on her destruction and will listen to no
son. Such belief must strengthen the national
willingness to bear the growing burden. And, de-
spite the apparent solidarity of the allies, there
many's willingness to talk of peace may affect one
of them. The role is all the easier because Ger
many really wants peace. Her sole military pur-
pose is to hold what she has and prove to the
allies that she cannot be defeated They know
this as we'll she does. She therefore loses moth
ing by expressing peace sentiments semi-officially

"roses will bloom" in several countries before
negotiations come.-Chcago Herald.

Seen and Heard by George Miner.

New York, Oct 2I-Every one who remembers
his geography at all knows that Chile is laid out
good deal on the plan of a shoestring. 1t
stretches along the west coast of South Africa
and judging from the map, consists entirely of
seacoast bounded by red line about quarter of
an inch inland This red line is shaded down by
black streaks which mountains.
Now all this doesn't look like very attractive
layout for a country. Seems too much like the
river Patte-all length and no depth or breadth.
am informed, however that this very peculiar
geographical formation is very grand thing for
Chile. In consequence, of tiff certain plans go
right-Chile is soon to take her place tre-
mendous manufacturing nation.
This long strip of seacoast with parallel line
of mountains, furnishes waterpower whose mag
nitude is almost inconceivable. As one enthusiast
expressed it, it's like thousand miles of Niagara
Very large undertakings are now on foot to
utilize this power and establish all sorts of indus
trial plants there. series Of corporations are to
be formed with central or holding company
which will operate dozen or so different kinds
of enterprises. American money it is believed,
will be induced to go there and in course of time
these various American companies operating more
or less in interlocking manner will have under
way business which will mean an output of hum
dreds of millions of dollars year
l am not at liberty to give the details of this
scheme as it is only in its inception, but it
is believed that there will be no difficulty in secur-
ing capital for it, as the immense amount of gold
now accumulated in this country must find some
commercial outlet to make it worth having
Perhaps the most remarkable thing in the
present business conditions OF the country is the
enormous rates which have been paid for steam
ship charges. So much has been written about
this that every is or less familiar with
existing conditions. But the fact that fresh water
steamers-that is, lake and river streams, are be-
ing converted into salt water bottoms is not so
we'll known. l understand that quite large fleet
of steamers which have been plying on the great
lakes to have their registry transferred
to ocean-going charters.
This seems like a very simble thing at first
blush but it is not To begin with a steamer for
ocean work where salt water is available has to
be equipped with condensers which, of course are
not necessary fresh water. This is big ex-
pense in itself. Then, again, the transferring OF
the registry from lake traffic to Lloyds' is an
enormously costly outlay. | could hardly believe
my ears when told the other day that the expense
OF changing the registry from lake steamer to
Llodys would be something like $I2oooo-which
is fact nevertheless And it will cost the owners
considerably than 81 oooo 900 to shift this fleet
OF six steamers which l have in mind from lake
to ocean occupation. 1t must be borne in mind
that the ships themselves when they were built
cost but little more, if any, than that amount.
