Demands on Greece.

Greece continues to be the puzzle of
the war in Europe. A short time ago it
was announced that all was ready for
an immediate declaration of war against
Bulgaria. Then something happened at
Athens, the nature Of which has not been
explained, and the declaration was post
poned Next the Kalogeropoulos min
istry resigned because it had failed to
secure the recognition of the entente
powers Meanwhile a revolt was in
progress in Crete and in other islands
and to an increasing degree on the main
land. The king has now secured the
formation of another ministry, compris-
ing, in part, the members of the former
one, but no indication is given whether
it is fully satisfactory to the allies. The
latest development is demand by the
commander of the Anglo French feet in
the Mediterranean, Vice Admirals Du
Fournet, that Greece hand over to. the
entente allies the entire Greek fleet,
with the exception of three ships. 1t is
stated that these demands, which include
the control Of the Pnaeus-Larissa rail

Latest reports from Indiana aeauit the
two leading parties there of a charge
that was not at all creditable to either,
This was that in the matter of the two

rants no such imputation. No divisions

supporting Watson, while the so-ealled
Taggart machine is as busy in Mr.. Kern's
behalf as in that of its owner.
Ii is nothing to the point, even if true
that had the choice been left to Mr.. New
Mr.. Watson would not have been nomi
mated for the Shively vacancy, and that
Mr.. Kern would not have picked Mr.
Taggart as the democratic candidate
The point is that both Mr.. Watson and
Mr.. Taggart were as regularly nominated
as Mr.. New and Mr.. Kern, and, there

way, are made as precautionary meas
ure to insure the safety of the allied
fleet. The three excepted ships, it is
stated in the dispatch, are to be dis
armed and forts on the seacoast are
to be dismantled. Control Of other
points are to be placed in the hands of
the British and French. If these de-
mands have been made it must mean that
the allies have no confidence in a sim
cere joining of forces with them by
Greece, and that they fear blow on
the coast against them in case Of gen
eral movement inland. With the army
mainly affected toward the side Of the
allies and the navy thus in possession
of the entente powers, Greece would be
put in position of impotence permit
ting the allies to proceed with their
without risk.

District and Maryland Roads.

Representative Mudd of Maryland has
laid before the Commissioners a matter
which deserves immediate attention and
early action. Setting forth the fact that
Maryland has in the past few years de-
veloped system of first class highways,
several Of which reach to the District
line, he urges that the District county
roads should be brought up to par
with these state thoroughfares. At pres
ent the District maintains sorry lot of
roadways between the paved section OF
the city and the boundary. With one or
two exceptions the Districts highways
throughout that area are far below the
quality of the main Maryland roads,
Road users passing into Maryland from
the District find these local links diff
cult of travel, whereas they should be, if
possible, superior to the country roads
Of Maryland.
There should be no bad roads in the
District of Columbia. The main high
ways beyond the paved area should be of
the best possible construction, main
tanned at the highest standard. The con-
Meeting roads and lanes should all be
of substantial construction, weH surfaced
and properly kept in condition. This is
far from the case, however. 1t is pos
sible to be mired in wet weather in the
nf al y. nc{ .r1N
ginia. and as few years ago in Mary
land a. short distance from the District
line.
On this point, however, Maryland is
not altogether free from criticism in
the matter of road construction and
maintenance. The state roads are ad-
mirable and the state has been greatly
benefited by the liberal expenditure.
These highways, however, are run only
to the town lines. There is sharp con-
trast between the roads in the open
country, which are first class, and the
passages through the towns themselves.
In all but a few cases motorists using
the state roads md themselves seriously
disconnected in the towns by rough
streets that are little, if any, better than
the country roads were before the era
of highway making. There should be
some uniformity of road standards, and
if the towns will not bring their roads
or streets up to the mark the state should
compel them to do so if they are able,
and aid them if they cannot afford the
expenditure.
Washington should set an example III
this matter to the towns and cities Of
Maryland by putting it's suburban thor
oughfares in the best possible condition,
so that there will be no bad gaps in the
system of travel arteries at least at this
end Of the line.

Begging in the Streets.

Unless begging in the District is to
become a highly organized profession,
there is immediate need for strict po-
lice regulation of the practice. The
number of those soliciting aims upon
the street is consistently increasing, and
the degree Of efficiency with which
mendicants are plying their trade was
indicated yesterday in a conversation
overheard between two "cripples" on F
street. Said one: "You take the north
side; I'll try the SOUTH" and the others
answer was: you're on, but you're get
tin all the cream of it this afternoon.
Go to it'll"
Indiscriminate almsgiving not only
aceomplishes nothing but encourages a
practice humiliating to the worthy in
dividual and exposes Washington to a
grave economic danger Professional
beggars, driven from the streets of cities
more effectively protected from this con-
dition, are coming to Washington in
considerable numbers, say local social
workers. Once having established them
selves here, their subsequent mainte
nance, in the event of ridding the pub
lie at large of their solicitations, must
devolve upon the District.
The matter is now being considered
by the police chief and the heads of the
charitable agencies, with a view to a
riddance of the unworthy cases. The
organizations that give aid to those in
actual want of food and shelter are pre-
pared to relieve their distress, and all
the charity agencies, will endeavor to
find work for those who are willing and
able to labor for their sustenance. The
others, the professionals andN> chronic
beggars and the takers, must go.

A Fight for the Border.

The republicans are fighting for bor
der states which for many years we're
considered unshakable in their loyalty to
the democratic party, local and national.
Maryland, Missouri and Kentucky used
to roll up democratic majorities of large
proportions whenever election day ar
rived 1t was done with but little eff
fort. There were republicans of emf
nenee and force in all three states, and
they made campaigns which reflected
credit on their courage, but they went
to defeat
1t is different now, and has been for
a score of years. The republicans have
developed leaders of high quality.
They have perfected strong organiza
tions They have carried elections of
great Importance. The sum of their
achievements is considerable. In every
contest, local or national, the democracy
is put to its trumps.
Mr.. Hughes spoke twice in Maryland
Tuesday to large audiences, and un-
doubtedly with effect. The reports of
the meetings record success. His senti-
ments were applauded, and he went on
his way much heartened.
On this tour he will make his second
visit to Kentucky. And another visitor
soon to the Blue Grass state will be
Theodore Roosevelt. The democrats are
alive to the situation. They are import
ing some of their best oratorical talent.
Speaker Clark and Senator Underwood
have engagements, and Mr.. Bryan, who
was barred from the state in last years
campaign because of his prohibition SEN
timents, will whirl through this month
on fast train. 1t looks like business
on both sides.
In Missouri the republicans have
strong state ticket, and Mr.. Hughes is
popular. Mr. Clark is not sulking, nor
is there any Indifference among his
friends manifest, because of the Balti-
more episode of 1872 Still, the fact
exists and is recognized that Missouri
is not easy going for the democrats. All
their local orators and some imported
ones are in action trying to "show" the
voters.
Whatever the result next month, these
three states will have benefited from the
vigOr of the campaigning. Stirring the
pool thoroughly is good thing 1t is
good for Maine, and would be as good
for Texas. 1t profits Massachusetts as
much as it would profit Mississippi That
would be welcome national campaign
when every state had to be fought for,
and the majority in none proved to be
large. In that way the issues could be
assured of thorough discussion, and the
result be worthy of acceptance as an
expression of opinion formed everywhere
in the proper way.

Columbus Day.

Two hundred and twenty four years
ago today Christopher Columbus landed
on an island of the West Indies. This
was the discovery of America, later to
be followed by wider exploration and by
the demonstration that the intrepid ex-
plorer had not, as he thought, reached
the Indies, for which he was voyaging.
Nearly two centuries and quarter have
passed since that event, a wonderful
period of change, time of complete
revolution in the worlds history. CO.
lnmbus day is being marked by organi-
cations, but is not rated as an occa-
sion Of general national celebration. 1t
is, nevertheless, a time to remember as
the beginning of an era.
Evening star., 1916-10-12

math damaging both to authors and
benefciaries. It leaves q bad taste in
everybody's mouth. 1t sows the seeds
Of distrust, and they produce an abun-
dant crop. Years are required to re-
establish confidence and make things
normal again. Those who win in the
end lose, while those who lose in the
end win through sympathy. Time
usually revises all such transactions.
Indiana has a large stake in this
years game. She contributes son to
each of the two leading national tickets.
She elects two senators and full state
ticket. Naturally, the voters are very
much alive, and the party organizations
have their hands full. There is no
apathy, no indifference. There are, how
ever, contradictory reports about the
prospects. Both sides are claiming the
state.
The returns, whatever they may be,
will be closely examined both at home
and elsewhere. If they should show
trading, affecting not only the senator
ships but the national tickets, much bad
feeling would be aroused, and the state
would suffer in national estimation. All
the candidates on both sides bear the
stamp of regularity, and each in the
past has received assurances of party
confidence. There had been talk Of trad
ing in Maine, but it did not materiallze
last month, and the success achieved has
carried the greater weight for having
been clean cut and square.

When an auto tire exploded
With fierce and mighty sound
Folks who didn't know twas loaded
Would in terror gather round.
And the man who had it mended
Would express his feelings sad,
With an emphasis quite splendid,
But with words trifie bad.
Now the loud reverberation
Doesn't waken fear or grief.
People note the demonstration
With feeling of relief.
And we're glad that the condition
OF the place is still serene,
Since it wasn't ammunition
From nearby submarine.
