Salonika Greeks Demand
Dethronement Of Consta1tine
oy Pae. ana ins.i plev,o eIrvle..


BERNIE. Jan. 2s.-A Swiss cores
pondent In Salonil<i writes as follows:
Greek Macedonia Is getting aStaste
Of the terors OF war. Since the re-
treat OF the French and English troops
from Serbia conditions have become
gradually worse. All hospitals are
filled with sick and wounded soldiers,
although twenty hospital ships have
taken thousands of them to Malta and
other places. The number OF wounded
Is SO large that special barracks had
to be erected for them, as there was
not room enough for them in the hos.
pitfalls.
"The population is suffering severe
~. Food is scarce and the prices Of
all necessaries have been more than
doubled during the last few weeks,
but large majority Of the inhabitants
OF Saloniki and OF Noo-Greece or
Greek Macedonia sympathize with the
Allies.
with two or three exceptions the
newspapers savagely attack the" gov
eminent at Athens. King Constantine
and his advisers are accused of turn
ing over the sacred soil of Macedonia
to the 'unspeakable Bulgars.'
Prominent politicians and citizens
who are supporting the cause of the
Allies have formed a new Greek ma
tional party which calls itself "Tthni-
kos The platform of this new party
demands that Greece shall be cleared
of all foreign elements, from the King
and Queen down. All members Of the
organization have pledged themselves
to do everything ip their power to
prevent the election of Jews, Moham-
medans and Armenians to Parliament
and to work for the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution by
which all citizens of foreign descent
are to be barred from public offices.
"A large part of the Greek troops
In Macedonia consist of followers OF
the former Prime Minister Venizelos.
The soldiers condemn the policy of
the king and his advisers and demand
that they shall either be allowed TO
fight against the Bulgars or discharged
/ from the service and sent home.
For the Serbians the Greek Mace
domains show little sympathy When
the thousands of Serbian fugiuves be,
gan to arrive in Saloniki, they got a
very cool reception from the popula.
ton and are still considered unwel.
come guests. The half starved, ragged
Serbian soldiers, many of whom are
without shoes and warm clothing, are
treated like intruders, and nobody
pays any attention to them as they
wander aimlessly through the streets
For the Serbian civilian fugitives alsu
very little Is done by the Greeks. The
children are fed by the American Red
Cross Society at the Hotel Olympoa
and will later be sent to France.
when the Allies occupied Saloniki
they were not guided solely by mill
tary reasons. The French and Eng
llsh probably would have taken pos
session of the city even IL the unsuc
+cessful campaign to save Serbia had
not been decided upon, because every
thing there belongs to French, Eng
lish and Belgian capitalists. They
own the street railways, the water
! works, the gas houses, the electric
plants, the docks and the railroad to
Deceagatch. All the important banks
have been financed by them and mos!
of the big business houses owe them
large sums OF money"

FROM BABYL0NIAN WISE MEN
Came the Division Of the Hour az II
Has Been Recognized Through
out the Centuries.

The division of an hour into sixty
minutes is of ancient Babylonic origin
and has survived the reforms applied

worlds progress. Along with the dec
lmal system in ancient Babylon there
was the sexagesiinal system based up
On the count by sixties ard originat-
ing in the discovery that there is no
number which has so many divisors
as sixty. 1t can be divided without
remainder by 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 10, IL, is, 20
and 80
Babylonians divided the suns path
INTO twenty-four parasangs, the lat
ter representing about four and one
half miles. The astronomers of that
lay compared the progress of the sun
during one hour to the progress made
by good walker during the same pc
Rod Of time, each accomplishing one
parasang.
The whole course of the sun was
:wenty-four parasangs. or 500 degrees,
and each parasang or hour was sub
divided into sixty minutes.
Hippagchus, the Greek philosopher,
who lived $50 r. c., introduced the
Babylonian hour into Europe, and,
carried along by traditional knowl-
edge down through the middle ages. it
survived the French revolution, which
sndeavored to reduce every measure
to decimal system of reckoning. SO
that the measure of time continues

lmazement, what does this mean,
anyhow? Where is the envelope?
There must be some mistake. Here
It is--the mischief. At 1t again--and
worse than everi"
Leith allowed the letter to drop to
The desk as he scanned the direction
On the envelope: "Mr. Harry Mer-
.iam."
The brother Of Vera! 1t was meet
hat Leith should be interested and
ratural that he should be anxious and
.-oubled. He had been friend and
guide to Harry Merriam. He had
aelpel guided and shielded the bright
latured but impetuous young fellow.
Lettl had even secured him employ
mont with the business house of which
ae was manager in order that he
night watch and direct him.
Mr. Merriam was a stern, austere
man and 1t had cost both money and
patience to control the peccadillos of
he younger Merriam.
More recently Harry seemed to have
turned over new leaf. IL order to
get him away from his old associates,
only the week previous Leith had sent
him on selling tour Now an echo
Of the past defections of Harry had
come to the surface as menace. With
all his influence, Leith doubted IL his
employers would retain Harry when
they learned Of his gambling habits.
All! at all hazards the changed
course of the weak and struggling
must not be crossed Leith arrived
At speedy decision. He WINGED as
he realized the great sacrifice he was
Jailed on to make. Then his lips drew
irm and resolute. He forgot all save
The urgency of the moment, tossed the
letter on his desk, picked up his hat
and hurried from the office, leaving
word that he would return in an hour.
Fifteen minutes later Mr.. Merriam
called, according to appointment. He
was shown into the office of the man
ager where he decided to await his
return. Almost the first thing that
met his eye was the open note that
Leith had received. Twice he read it.
That proud lip of his drew closer, his
stern eye took to its depths a steely
CLINT. He memorized the address
given in the missive, arose and start
ed from the place, smoldering vol
cano of wrath.
Meanwhile Gordon Leith had gone

two thousand dollars. He drew an
