ADMIRAL CARDALE. GREEKS' FAVORITE TO GIVE UP POST
British Officer Has Been
 Factor In Quieting Many Disturbances

Athens, Greece, June Tt is an- nounced that Rear Admiral Hubert $. Cardale, the acting head of the Brit ish Naval Mission in Greece and at present the. ranking officer of the Royal Hellenic Navy on active ser vice, will soon relinquish his post and leave Greece. He has been one of the most prominent figures in Athens dur ing the war, for in his duel capacity as a Britfsher and an admiral of the Greek navy, he has been a factor in quieting many of the internal dis sensions in this country, which, ever since the war started, has been the scene of a continual pulling and haul ing of warning interests.
 One day Admiral CardaIe has been called upon to pronounce for the Kings party and again, on the next day, to speak for the Venizelists, the adherents of the popular statesman who desired to see Greece take up arms against the Central Powers. The admiral appears to have been fla vorite of both King Constantine and Venizelos. His relations with the royal family are of long standing, be- ginning with his service under the personal command of the then Crown Prince Constantine in the first Balkan war. Recently the King acted as god father to the AdmiraFs son, naming the infant Constantine.
 On the outbreak of the European war in 1914 Admiral Carda1e( secur- ing leave from the Greek government took the squad of British naval gun ners in Serbia in hand, organized the British, French and Russian heavy ar til1ery defenses of Belgrade, success fully mined the Danube and the Sava sunk a few Austrian monitors, wore the uniform of a Serbian colonel ol engineers for six months, received the order and star of the white eagle o1 Serbia from the hands of King Peter himself, and the Karageorge meda for personal bravery.

 If this is the case, it is one of many illustrations of how the professional political element plays into each oth- CTS hands as against the interest of the whole people. During campaigns they Lombard each other with sound and fury. They dep1ore each others s blunders and warn against each oth- CTS crimes.

Chief Justice Harry Olson, Will In
Time Receive $4,000 A Year For
His Services.

The members of the City Council at
its meeting Monday evening among
other things decided to raise the pay
of the Municipal Court Judges-that is
after the election this coming Novem-
Der, from $4,000 to $4,000 per year and
Chief Justice Harry Olson, will later
on receive $4,000 instead of $4,000
per year for his very valuable legal
services; this increase in the wages of
the Municipal Court Judges will
amount to about $4,000 per year and
the money to pay them will come out
of the pockets of the small tax payers.
1t was strongly contended by some
of the city fathers who scarcely pay
any taxes themselves, that by increas-
ing the pay that it would attract
better class or a much higher grade Of
lawyers to seek the nomination for
Judges of the Municipal Court. Let US
all earnestly hope that their contentious
will come true, for at the present time
there are some Judges sitting in the
Circuit and the Superior Courts draw
ing down twelve thousand dollars per
year who have no right on earth to
sit in judgment on the acts of their
fellow men except that they are backed
up and forced on or down the throats
of the people by the willy or oily poll
ticians and in some respects this same
thing is true when it comes down to
nominating Judges for the Municipal
Court bench for it must be admitted
by all fair minded men and especially
those who have any business to trans
act in the Municipal Court, that some
few of the present sitting judges never
had case in court of record and
that it was at the behest of some Of
the ward politicians, that has enabled
them to prove to the world that they
are absolutely incapable in every way
from q legal point of view to intelli-
gently serve as learned judges Of the I
Court. |

Editor Patriot:
Minneapolis, MINI.
Your telegram received. I am for
Peace-not War. The spirit of the age
cries for Peace and means Brotherhood
not War and Hate. I am for the
establishment of an International
Court, having jurisdiction of every in
ternational question, with power to en-
force its decisions, just the same as our
United States Supreme Court has juris-
diction of every interstate question
with power to enforce its decisions.
The harmony of the times demands it,
and the voice of humanity will soon
secure it in this war-mad world. We
must prepare for Peace-not Wharf.-The
Peace of International Brotherhood
the Peace of World Civilization-and
not the war of defamation and devas-
tation. War is a relic of barbarism
and belongs to the Stone Age. War is
wholesale murder, and more indefens-
ible than retail murder. The time is
near when no King or Kaiser; no
President or Potentate can make one
man cut the throat of another man
and call it War. The theory that
might makes right is an exploded fall
lacy. 1t belongs on the same political
scrap heap as the divine right of
Kings. The doctrine of physical force
is becoming more and more diminish
ing factor in the progress of human
affairs and the onward and upward
march of Civilization. No political
party can carry this country on a war
platform if some other political party
has the courage to declare for Brother
hood on Peace Platform.

A ID. GRIFFIN WHO WAS ONE OF
THE WELL KNOWN CoLoRED
NEWSPAPER MEN THROUGH
OUT THE WESTERN COUNTRY
SUDDENLY EXPIRED IN HIS
NEWSPAPER OFFICE, KANSAS
CITY, KANSAS, FROM HEART
FAILURE.
Adolphus D. Griffin, who was one of
the well known ColoredO newspaper men
in the western country, having success
fully at one time conducted a chain
of weekly newspapers extending from
San Francisco, Cal, to Portland, Ore
gon. and on into Montana; expired
very suddenly recently in his news
paper office, the "Kansas Elevate"
at Kansas City, Kansas, of heart fall
ure.
He had only established the exam
sas Elevator" shortly after the first
of the present year. For several years
prior to that time he was business
manager and travelling representative
for the "Plaindealer," Topeka, Kan.
Mr.. Griffin was a native of Louisi-
ana and his remains were transported
to Shreveport, that state for burial.
He was a Democrat in politics and
during the administration of Governor
George H. Hodges, 191S-1915, he was
appointed by that Democratic governor
a member of the Trustee Board of the
Western University and was elected
President of the Board, serving as such
with honor and dignity, putting into
practice sound business principles,
which made great Roadway for that
school, making also many improve
ments in the surroundings.
At the time of his death, he was a
candidate for Recorder of Deeds for
the District of Columbia and he was
strongly endorsed for that position by
Ministers, Judges, Senators, Represen-
tatives and business men in all walks
of life.
Mr.. Griffin passed away utterly ig-
norant of the fact that President
Woodrow Wilson lately appointed
White Democrat to that position.
Mr.. Griffin was a prominent Mason
and he numbered his friends by the
thousands in all parts of the country
west of the Mississippi River.

WoMAN'S PART IN THE PRESENT

From the beginning of the great con-

minds of men, women and children,
throughout the entire world have been
guided to look upon with reverence

mechanical devices such as the big
guns, battleships and submarines have
taken up a great deal of the people 3

what to my mind, is very essential

as the present conditions in Europe

women have commemorated themselves
with great admiration and after the

when peace reigns supreme, when the

HEALTH NOTES,

It is well known fact that people
living in the cities of the Orient util-
ize their roof tops as places of recrea-
ton and rest. Every traveller in the
far East has noted this fact. Modern
city jewellers, however, rarely utilize
their house tops for any purposes, ex-
cept to catch dust, dirt and rain water.
The Department of Health has fire.
quently called attention to the import
ance of utilizing our roofs, especially
during the heated months of the year,
for sleeping purposes and purposes of
recreation. The Bulletin has fire.
quently called attention to the advan-
tages of roof gardens and also to the
fact that on the roofs, the air is better
at that level than it is nearer the
ground. There should be ample space
on the roof of the average three fiat
building to provide sleeping quarters,
during the open air season at least,
for all of its occupants. The roofs
should be covered with canopied avn
ings; protecting ratings built around
the walls, and potted ferns, plants and
flowers could be utilized to lend at
Effectiveness and swinging hammocks
could be used for couches.
Certainly a custom so old, and which
is today almost universally practiced
in many of the oriental cities, must
have decided advantages, or else peo-
pie would not follow it. The Bulletin
commends to the people of Chicago, the
fiat jewellers, people in the congested
areas occupying buildings with fiat
roofs, to endeavor to utilize their roofs
during the summer months. The ex-
pense should not be great for fixing
up roof top in such a way as to make
it both comfortable and attractive.
There is the advantage, too, of seclu-
sion and of being up where the air is
purer and better than it is nearer the
street level; and also where the tenn
perature certainly would be cooler and
more grateful and refreshing than in
hot, stuffy bedrooms, where the facil-
tiles of ventilation and air circulation
are not good.
Try the roof sleeping plan and see
how you will like it.
Too much sameness in the things one
has to think about will callous the in.
tellect. A horny hand is honorable,
but the brain is no place for corns.

Swat the flies, both here and there.

For the many that you swat,
Millions less viii be born.
