The Allies In Athens.

Perhaps the world will have to wait for the
history of the great war to learn the real story
OF the part that Greece has played, but each
bit OF stray information received in this country
seems to confirm the opinion that this chapter OF
the struggle may be recorded as another blunder
by the entente
As the hand of the allies diplomacy in Athens
has shown itself weak, so the hand of German
propaganda has shown itself strong. In fact,
some diplomats are willing to concedc that in
Athens the German foreign office has scored its
most signal victory of the war.
Whatever the methods employed-and in
America there has been ample opportunity to
study German methods-even the allies must
admit they have been defeated in their Athenian
play the chessboard of Balkan politics.
Perhaps one Of the biggest mistakes of the
allies was their failure to gain a thorough un-
derstanding of the Greek people This lack OF
understanding has now grown into the same dis
trust OF the people that the entente has for the
King and the Greek ministry. AS result the
allies have lost even the moral support of the
people.
But even those Of pro-ay sympathies may
well understand the justice of the stand taken
ny te GreeK people BY the acts OF the allies
the people have been made to suffer almost as
much as though they had been plunged into war
They have been told that the allies are trying
to starve them into war. They have. undergone
many kinds Of hardship because of the allied
blockade.
There has been famine in Epirus and the
people have suffered the privations Of a nine
months mobilization. Fortunately the mobiliza-
ton has come to an end and the soldiers are
returning to their homes. The blockade gradu-
ally is being relaxed and conditions generally
are improving. Tardily, the capitals of the
entente are beginning to understand
How great has been their loss is shown in the
recent news of the hostile demonstrations before
the Offices of Liberal, Venizest and entente
newspapers, the arrest of the few men who dared
shout "Vive Venizelos,' and the failure Of the
minister of the interior to even offer an e1plana-
ton when questioned by deputy at a session Of
the chamber.
OF course, the Greek soldiery will not march
against the British or French in this war and
perhaps the army may forget the inglorous
role forced upon it by the allies. 1t is possible,
too, that the waning strength of the Teutonic
allies in the various fields of action may have
an effect in Athens beneficial to the entente so
that soon we may again see its diplomacy in the
ascendency.

the whis nomination for president in
1889.
81 did not see Clay when he passed
through New York state, but heard q
great deal about the receptions he re-
ceived everywhere on his journey. I re-
member having heard men say that the
crowds that met Clay were more en-
thusiastic and demonstrative and larger
than were the crowds who gathered TO
greet the president of the United States.
Van Buren's friends denied this. saying
that he received greater tributes Of this
kind than did Clay. This difference OF
opinion often led to heated discussions.
The fact was that both President Van
Buren, and Henry Clay received very re-
markable tributes of that kind. They
passed one another somewhere in the cen
ter OF New York state.
Now there was a curious climax to the
story OF these journies. President Van
Buren,. notwithstanding his cordial and
enthusiastic reception in New York. did
not carry the state in the election of ls40,
whereas. on the other hand. Henry Clay.
In spite of the splendid demonstration
made in his honor when he was journey
ing through the state OF New York,
nevertheless lost the nomination OF the
Whig party. for that was given TO Gen
eral William Henry Harrison. who was

while speaking reminiscently of presi-
dents whom he had met or known per-
sonally. Il was only eight years of age,

The circumstances were these: Van
Buren was then President, and, shrewd
and skillful politician as he was, he
was nevertheless overpersuaded by some
OF his political friends to make a tour
through the eastern part OF the United
states. He was certain to be renomi-

thought that II he did make an excursion
through New York and through the Mid
die West he would be able to hold his
strength and to Increase It.
II remember hearing men say that
President Van Buren, was making his
tour at the same time that Henry Clay
was making a journey through the coun-

was travelling most OF the time in his own
carriage in a westerly direction, while
Henry Clay was travelling from the West
toward the East. At the time, every

Military Aristocracy.

One of the arguments that has been used
frequently and sometimes with much effect
against the preparedness movement in the United
States is that the building up of our army would
tend to Prussanize the nation. 1t has been con-
tended that large standing army would in time
develop militarism that might have some of the
worst features of that in Germany and give
birth to national aggressiveness that would
lead inevitably to useless wars
Opponents of an adequate defensive military
have gone so far as to assert that even in demo-
cratic America democratic army must be placed
in the category of the impossible. They have
contended that big army would breed mill
tary aristocracy repugnant to our democratic in
stitutions and smear on our most beloved ira
ditions
Whether there is truth in these beliefs prob
ably will not be shown finally until the United
States has large standing army, but recently
the people have had an opportunity to watch
the militia of the nation under conditions which
have revealed that the spirit of democracy still
permeates the whole body of our soldier cti-
zenry.
In Washington the people recently have been
treated to a striking instance of this in tho
designation of James H. Washburn as captain OF
Troop A, of the District cavalry. This is the
troop that has been called the millionaire S
troop" Probably there is not millionaire in it,
but many of the young wealthy. The
majority university men and most of the
members were recruited from the clubs in Wash
ington. A list of the personnel reveals some Of
the most prominent names in the city.
Among the dough boys" the Troop A men
lid
men have given dance or two they are termed
social aristocrats." The real test of the blue
blood troop came when it was necessary to des-
ignate a captain. The troop did not pick the
kind OF man that some might imagine aristocrats
would want for a commander.
Troop went to the regular army and picked
enlisted man. James H. Washburn, first SER
geant of Troop B, Second Cavalry. Of course,
the formality of competitive examination was
observed, but Washburn would have been chosen
if there had been no examination and the
troop had elected captain.
Washburn might. be the type OF aristocrat
that big army would develop. The Troop A
men say he is officer and a gentleman from
the ground up and his record shows he is every
inch a soldier. The cavalryrnen might have gone
far without finding a man better fitted and their
choice has been vindcated in the business-like
military way in which Capt Washburn has de-
veloped the troop and put it in fighting trim.
II the action of the most "aristocratic" unit
in the District Guard may be accepted as a
criterion, the people Of the nation stand in little
danger of military aristocracy, at least among
the kind OF fighting that we have now

In the United States, where the public is
accustomed to seeing jurors free violators of
law for sundry reasons, shock probably has
been caused by the grim determination of the
British government to exact the life penalty from
Roger Easement. The American people in some
instances have seemed to silently applaud the
act Of a jury in freeing a or woman guilty
OF capital crime, but in England crimes must
be paid for. Unwritten laws must be written
before English courts give them much heed and
the English courts seldom have recognized the
American brain storm. The refusal of Case
ment's plea for the privilege Of appealing to
the House of Lords seems more in accord with
British ideas of justice than an act tnged with
politics and unless a modern miracle intervenes
it seems that Easement must die.

Another murder was added to Washngton's
list Sunday night Two negroes quarreed and
fought in a house in Seventh street northwest
and one was so badly wounded that he died be-
fore reaching a hospital After the crime, the
alleged murderer is said to have leisurey changed
his blood-stained clothes and departed. His
identity IS known to the police They have an
accurate description OF him. There is no mystery
to be solved. The police are charged only with
the duty OF capturing the fugitive Therefore
it is to be expected that an early arrest will be
made. The murder is the fourth within few
weeks, and the persons guilty OF the first three

Only when all of Our insane are in hospitals
and all OF our criminals in prison will crimes like
the exploding Of bomb in San Franciscos pre-
paredness parade be stopped. One time in fifty
perhaps the police may be able to frustrate such
a crime, but the chances nearly always are
against the authorities. What policeman would
have suspected that a cheap suit case placed
against street post contained explosives that
meant death and mutation to a score? There
probably were 200 similar suit cases along the
line OF parade, some containing lunches, others
containing the clothes of the out-of-town visitors
in San Francisco. About the only way that
the police can keep such crimes down to a
minimum is by careful, painstaking work in OBJ
serving all suspicious persons they see in the
streets. These crimes usually are committed by
lunatics and if a policeman is experienced and
sbservant he generally has little trouble in
"spotting" person of unsound mind

Down in the surging depths Of rue,
For have seen my spreading sails
Upon the rocks of failure, too.
But out upon the troubled sea
ri throw the drowning wight rope,
Weft of the strands OF sympathy,
With golden interweaves of hope.
For we'll know how great his need,
Tossed by the waves or ruin there,
And how one word OF loving heed
May wrest from him the tide OF care.
