In another column there appears an
article in regard 70 the constitutional amenC-
ment affecting the fees of the clerks Of
court. The amendment should be defeated
for the reason, if for no other, that it is 4
makesh;ft pure and simple The bill does
not change, and is not intended to change
the fees OF the clerks Of court. The basis
OF the salary proposed is supposed to cover,
as near as could be guessed, the present
sums received by the clerks. 1t saves the
people nothing, harasse5 ne clerks, and is
simply the existing law in disguise. 1t

that they are inteligen, enough to compre-

referred to makes very Gear the correctness

GREY JUSTIFES ALLIES
MEASURES IN GREECE.
Venizelos Declares Country
Must Decide Whether People
or King Shall Rule
LONDON. April 10.

LONDON, April 49,
Measures taken by the Entente Govern
ments In Greek territory or in Greek terri
torial waters, and against which Greece
mas protested. followed as a natural con-
sequence Of the decision to send an expe-
dlt'on TO help Serbia, decision which was
arrived at In the first instance at the re-
quest OF Greece herself, said Sir Edward
Grey, British Foreign Secretary, in the
House of Commons last night.
Sir Edward added that the Allies could
not recede from the undertaking they had
begun. Corfu was the nearest place Of
refuge for the Serbians, he said so they
were sent there and their presence on the
island and OF the Allied forces at Salonlca
made II necessary to take certain precau-
tions on Greek islands to protect the land
forces and shipping from German SUBJ
marines operating in the Aegean Sea.
ATHENS, April II (delayed) The
Liberal morning papers comment bitterly
on the action of the police during the riot
ing in Athens yesterday, while the Gov
ernment organs throw the blame on the
Liberals. II is announced that Liberal
meetings will be resumed after Easter.
the Liberal party meanwhile taking ao-
tion against the police authorities for al
lowing, 1t is alleged, the presence at their
meetings OF agents, whose object was to
provoke riotous events.
II beg you to bring the events of yes
terday and the earnest protest of ma
jority of Greeks to the knowledge of
Americans, who have struggled for so
long to establish free speech as the funda-
mental right of free peoples" said ex-
Premier Venizelos today to the Associated
Press.
Here in Greece we are confronted by
the question whether we are to have a
democracy presided over by king or
whether at this hour in our history we
must accept the doctrine of the divine
right of kings.
The present Government represents In
no sense the majority of the Hellenic peo-
pie. We Liberals twice within a year re-
reived the vote of the majority. At the
last election which was nothing more than
4 burlesque of the free exercise of the
right of suffrage, we were not willing to
in farcical formality.
You yourself have witnessed with what
patience we Liberals-a majority of the
Greek people-have submitted for months
% government which is in nowise con-
stitutional."
