The Invasion of Greece.

A movement that may cause an i'm.
portant new development in the Euro
pean war is reported from London. in
the invasion of Greek soil by Bulgarian
forces They have taken position IN
Greece short distance northwest of
Sores. which brings them within about
forty five miles of Saloniki. The Bull
garian incursion appears to have been
sudden. The Greek commander of
frontier fort was ordered TO evacuate
his position within twenty-four hours
and was compelled to comply. This .
virtually an act of war against Greece,
and the government at Athens has a!
ready sent protests to Vienna, Berlin
and Sofia. 1t is in most unfortunate
position. With allied troops at saloniki
and Bulgarian troops, accompanied it is
reported by German officers and aids, OF
Greek soil in that vicinity it is likely
to become battlefield. Popular senti-
ment, which at the outset has been
strong for participation in the war on
the side of the allies, has with great
difficulty been restrained during the
past half year and more of dubious neu-
trality Only by virtual suppression of
the electorate has the popular sentiment
for the allies been checked from prac-
teal expression. Former Premier Feni
zelos has been held out of Office by
these measures, but his prestige with
the populace has increased steadily un
til he is today in higher position be-
fore the Greek people than the king
himself This latest development, with
a Bulgarian invasion of Greek soil, Il
calculated to bring matters to crisis
The protest to the German, Austrian and
Bulgar governments will hardly yield
results. Doubtless reply will be made
with reference to the presence of British
and French forces at Saloniki. An in
teresting development is reported in this
connection in the assemblage at Saloniki
of the rehabilitated Serbian army TO
the number, it is estimated, Of 100000
men. This force is understood to have
been brought through the Aegean sea
from Corfu, and, will be used i'll the de-
tense of Saloniki in case the Bulgars
continue their advance toward that
point

Miss Helena Mccarthy.

In the death of Miss Helena McCa:-
thy, which occurred yesterday after a
long illness, The Star loses one of its
most valuable workers, who had beer
identified with its organization Cor many
years, and who had won for herself the
affection and highest regard, not only of
all her associates, but of an extensive
circle of friends in this community. Miss
McCarthy's acquaintance with the peo-
pie of Washington was exceptional in
its range and intimacy. In her work as
society editor of The Star during the
better part of three decades she gained
the esteem of multitude of people and
held the confidence of all She bore her
great sufferings during her long illness
with heroic fortitude, and her DEATH
while a release from hopeless illness,
causes the deepest grief to her many
friends.

1t is expected that if the Anthony
amendment is adopted by Congress the
eleven suffrage states, Arizona, Califor-
MIA, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana
Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming and also Illinois, which has
partial suffrage, would ratify this at
once. Favorable action is also hoped
for in fifteen states in which the legis-
latures have recently voted to refer the
question to the people or where the
voters have by initiative petition called
for referendum. If ratification is Sc

The Preparedness Parade.

The plans for Washington's prepared
ness parade are developing at rate that
promises most satisfactory results. On
every side enthusiasm is shown for the
project of giving public expression to
the capitals sentiment for adequate ma
tional defense. Civic and military or.
CARNATIONS are being enrolled as march
ers and committee work is being sub
divided to insure an effective appeal to
every class and group of citizens. There
should be no less than 10000 marchers
Indeed, if the proportion of participants
to population shown in other cities is
maintained here there will be at least
$4,000 in line. But regardless of the
number who march it is assured that
the parade will be striking NANTES
tation of a sincere determination to
make ready for any work OF defense
that may arise in the future.
This is to be no idle, holiday making
march, organized for pleasUrable spec
tacle. 1t is a serious business. It
means the willingness of the people to
do their part for the national defense
in case of need. 1t means spirit Of
sacrifice. The very day selected for the
parade, the day devoted on the national
calendar to the commemoration of tho
origin of the national emblem. gives a
solemn meaning to the demonstration.

Grade Crossing Slaughter.

The auto-train grade crossing COLI
sion season has opened and scarcely 2
week passes without one or more of
these tragedies. One occurred yester-
day near Singac, N. j., where an Erie
railway train struck an auto carrying
four people at an unguarded crossing
and instantly killed three persons. The
dispatch reporting this happening saws
there are no gates at the crossing, and
residents of the district consider it very
dangerous" Singac is in the neighbor-
hood of Paterson. The region is thickly
settled, with numerous small towns be-
tween the large cities of northern New
Jersey, and road traffic is almost con-
tinuous. That such grade crossings
should be permitted to remain is
serious reflection upon the state govern.

Patriotism and Preparedness.

This is taken from the interview with
Senator Jones of Washington which ap-
peared in yesterdays Star:
ITO the statement that Roosevelt
urges patriotism, national safety and
Americanism, Senator Jones replied ::
True enough, but who does NOT? Every
loyal citizen stands for all these things.
and it is not so much question as to
how a man stands, but as to how he
will act, what he will do and how wise
his course will be-"
True. to the letter Which one of the
aspirantS to the Chicago nomination is
not regarded as a stanch American who
as President would stand up for the
rights and dignity of this country? All
are we'll known. All have shown their
quality in Office. All are men of recog-
nized resolution.
The Roosevelt candidacy is based upon
an assertion that he stands for "patri-
otism, national safety and American
ism more strongly than his rivals. Why
not say more vociferouslyf Is not tina:
ton mark his temperament He both
speaks and acts in a spirit of tremen-
dous earnestness. His vocabulary bris-
ties with superlatives. His manner is
garnished with emphasis. The descrir-
ton, "A steam engine in breeehes.' has

Senator Jones favors Justice Hughes
he sees in him qualities which he thinks
are demanded by the present emergency.
This appraisement is based, of course. on
a record. Justice Hughes is neither an
unknown nor an untried man. He has
held political Office, and in it done
things. He has changed in no particular
since going on the bench. The man who
only a few years ago had two terms as
Governor of New York, and might have
had third. and met all the require.
ments of that important and difficult
post, could, and would, meet ali the re-
quirements of the presidency, impor-
tdht dS lHe.S are. why uCt
The proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing; and the public has tasted this man
and liked him.
Mr.. Roosevelt's friends. recognizing
in Justice Hughes the greatest obstacle
are dwelling upon his silence at this
time, and shaking their heads as if in
serious doubt about what lie is, and
where he would be found as President in
time of stress. That, of course, is mere
stage play. If they could provoke nim
to break his silence they would seize
upon the act at once and denounee #
as gross breach of the proprieties, and
as showing his unftness for either the
presidency or his present Office.
Mr.. Roosevelt is patriot, a sincere
believer in an adequate national de-
tense, and red bleoded American, but
has no monopoly or pre-eminence on
that score. There are other, and many.
pebbles on the beach.

Incompleteness.

What wasted words of eloqucnce

may rest in one sense upon the motor
ists,. who are apt to be careless in ap-
preaching railroad tracks, but the blame
is ultimately upon the railroads for
maintaining unguarded crossings and
upon the public authorities for per
hitting such dangerous conditions to ex-
list. The old rule of "Stop, Look and
Listen cannot be relied upon as safe
guard, especially if there is nothing to
indicate the presence Of the tracks to
an approaching automobile. The user
of public highway has the right at
least of warning, even if the burden of
responsibility for his own security rests
upon him.

The geographical location, the spleh- did package car service accorded Lll- tie Rock, places this city in an unique position to serve promptly and advan- tageously the entire State of Arkaa- sas against her state and interstate competitors. So it is felt further elaD- oration on the important question oi expedited package car service IS ap- propriate at this time, the opening o' the fall season and the usual heaVy increase in merchandise traffic

There is a heavy movement ofgoods to these lumber company commlssarles, and with the splendid package car ser vice from Little Rock there is an added incentive to make this the mar ket for supplying those points. The Rock Island operates it's cars regular ly each day and without regard 10 tonnage, and in addition, supervision of the service is followed out, not only in securing the regular operation or their package cars, but the road ser vice covering the delivery at destlna- tion is likewise closely supervised ana every effort made to keep their ser vice at a maximum from the time of loading until delivery at destination.
 Toward Memphis ten schedule cars are operated on the Rock lslana Lines so arranged as to insure frst morning delivery, with the additional nrecaution the loading of the car IS SD arranged that when containing freight for more than one station, II is set out by through freight train at inc point having the largest tonnage, and the movement to other stations contained in the car so arranged as to insure the best possible service at all noints of destination. It is interesting to know that Little Rock dealers are i nlacing business at points within twenty-five miles of Memphis and un doubtedly the splendid package cal service has had it's part in making this possible.

The same crews are maintained in local train service with the purpose of the men becoming familiar with their districts, familiar with the class of freight they handle, familiar with the patrons with whom they do busi- ness and thereby increase the efficien- cy of the package car service.
 The fact is interesting that within the past five (5) years the movement of merchandise traffic via the Rock Island from Little Rock has shown an and the extension of the package car service has developed with the in- creasing movement.
 It may also be of interest to state that the Rock Island maintains a spe- cial department for supervision oi their package car service. This de- partment becomes very efficient and expert in the knowledge of arranging package car service and continuous campaign is carried on toward improv- ed service and loading of their pack age cars. This campaign begins with the loading station and continues through to the delivery at destination. It is also interesting to know that merchandise and perishables are the two commodities that are given the preference over all other classes of freight for expedited movement.
 Undoubtedly an important factor en- joyeo by Little Rock is the fact that there is no transfer en route of mef chandise from Little Rock even when l destined to the smaller stations and I branch line points. Throughout the
