STRANGE COMPLICATIONS IN,
GREECE e..

The Greek public, according to re-
cent advices, is disposed to turn
against the entente allies, while the
King, long regarded as almost a
traitor to his country, is described
as rapidly being rehabilitated in pub
lie confidence. The entente agents
became suspicious that the Greek
army and navy might be turned
against the army of General Sarrail,
which might easily have brought
about a fearful disaster to it. That
army would be caught between the
Teuton and Bulgar forces to the
north and the Greeks to the south,
and would be at least in a most dan
gerous position. With the co-opera-
ton Of the Greek feet, which is not
to be disdained for it is the biggest
naval force possessed by any ma
ton of the size and resources of
Greece, such a coup by the Greek
army might be of the greatest sig
nificance.
Naturally, the position Of the al
i:ss in Greece grows more and more
preposterous. They are not the CO.
operating partners Of Greece; they
have imposed themselves on the
country's hospitality after the ten
der of that hospitality had been
withdrawn. The people have none
Of the zeal and enthusiasm that
would be inspired by actual partici-
patton in the war alongside the
French, and British. and Russians,
their traditional friends and allies.
They feel the iron hand of military
force, but are compelled to recog-
nize that it is an alien force. There
is no appeal to their patriotism in
it; they are being suppressed in
stead of uplifted.
King Constantine wants to keep
the country out Of the war, because
# it goes into the war it will have to
be on the side of the allies. He is
reported now to be giving the allies
every possible assurance of his good
faith in maintaining real neutrality,
hoping thereby to induce them to
moderate their pressure upon the
country. But the compulsory seiz-
ure of the Greek navy by the allies
a move that seems to have been
brought about by fear that it might
make trouble for the allies in their
movement of troops, etc.-was a
mortal blow, naturally enough, to
the pride of the people. 1t seems
impossible that Greece can continue
neither fish, flesh, nor good red her
ring; neither Teuton nor entente;
neither at peace nor at war. The
supreme misfortune that could be-
fall it would be to be dragged into
the war on the side contrary to that
on which it's true interests lie; yet
even this might happen.

Words are not guns. Words are not

And ships and guns prevail,

Are guarded. or they fail!
Truth does not triumph without blows.
Error not tamely yields.
But falsehood closes with quick faith,
Fierce, on a thousand fields!
And surely, somewhat of that faith,
Our fathers fought for, clings:

QUICK PASTURES FOR SHEEP

All ExcelIent-cowpea 10 Favorite
Among legumes.

For a quick-growing sheep pasture
some Of the grain plants are excellent.
Rye. wheat, barley, oats, ETC., are all
used. Some Of the peas and other
legumes are often used, the common
cowpea being q general favorite for
this purpose. S%orghums are a big help
when sown in the spring to furnish
sheep pasture during the dry deather
Of midsummer, when the meadow
grasses are brown and the bluegrass

There is a great list Of grasses that
may be used in establishing a tempo

needed in a short time 1t Is necessary
to pick a grass that will establish it.
self at once and begin furnishing for
age. Timothy is fairly satisfactory and
so are all the clovers. Take timothy
and red clover as a combination to
be sown early in the spring, with a
nurse crop Of oats and you have q
mixture that is hard to beat. Cowpeas
sown in the corn will make a fine late
pasture for sheep and lambs.
Alfalfa has been recommended rs a
sheep pasture. 1t has points In its
favor, but these are more than Off
set by its disadvantages. 1t will grow
quickly and furnish Il vast amount of
grazing, but unless it is well mixed
with other grasses its value is doubt
full for this reason: 1t is likely to
cause bloating. This, with the harm
to the alfalfa that will be caused by
the characteristic close grazing Of the
sheep makes it a poor plant for II
sheep pasture.
