Crete and other Greek possessions and the friction
which has resulted. Opposition of the party headed
by former premier Venizelo TO the policy of the king
and his councillors has created dissensiOn IN Greece
amounting almost to civil war.
So bitter has been the attitude Of the king toward the

the allies have to fear momentarly attack by

aster that the allies determined to that danger
They accordingly demanded the surrender to them Of
certain guns and ammunition The Greek government
refused and French marines landed in Athens December
to enforce the demand. Fighting followed with Greek
regulars and Teserists battling against French forces
and body of followers of former premier Venizelos

Now has come the ultimatum, the last attempt Of
the entente to clear up what considered dangerous

the removal Of danger from the that the French

Serva and Montenegro of the invading central powers
So long the entente is afraid TO launch general

Again Greece Yields

Once more, according to dispatches from London,
Greece has yielded to ultimatum from the entente
nations and has consented the latest demands which
from the great province of Thessay that very
troops be concentrated in the Peloponnesus The PelO
ponnesus peninsula of Greece farthes from the
tenes scene of operations and troops that province
could do less damage TO the entente than elsewhere.
The announcement from London that Greece had COM
piled with the ultimatum somewhat surprise IN
view of semi official announcement from Berlin last
Tuesday morning that the Greek government had taken
a position follows:
/. Greece hereafter will observe strictly armed
neutrality.
? Greece viii make no further concession to the en-
tente.
8 Greece viii consider any further prOvocatiOn a
casus belIi.
This revelation of Greeces attitude was supposed TO
have been based radio messages said 20 have been
exchanged between Athens and Berlin. It was declared
king Constantine and the German government were in
daily communication by wireless.
If Greece, in fact, announced any such attitude,
must have receded completely from that stand in Civ
remains that Great Britain, France and their allies
seem to dominate the situation in Greece even more
thoroughly than before.
The reader will ask: What IS It all about? The
truth is that the neutral world knows very little of
what has happened is happening in Greece The
censorship is rigid that have but the haziest
knowledge of all the occurrences which have brought
Greece and the entente almost to swords points
In general way, it is known that king Constantine,
supported by large part of his army and his civilian
subjects has rather favored the Teuonic allies though
obliged to preserve sort Of neutrality toward the
tente His feeling for the powers has not been
warmed by the allied seizure of Salonik Pireus Corfu

Lest We Forget

When you're wishing merry Xmas

Don't forget that there are many
Who have never heard that greeting
When your world Is all a-sliSten

just remember there's another,
With a colder. darker side.
When you're filling Up the stockings
OF your happy girls and boys,
Think Of those whose lives are empty

You viii find them in the factories,
Shaving. sweating at the looms.

Of another merry Christmas,
And happy, glad New Year.

Land Is Still Available

The secretary of the interior says that about 25o,
100000 of government land still unoccupied
by settlers which would tend to dispel the often
peated statement that M the good land has been taken
up" Though most of the pioneering in land is over,
land is still being occupied the rate of about 10000
600 year.
Of the 25ooOoOOo still unOccupied acres, much IS very
rough land and great deal IS arid But have come
to realize that long land IS not broken as
be utterly impossible Of leveng except at pTOhibve
expense it IS always possible Of cultivation Farmers
finding ways Of growing crops with less water than
believed possible a few years ago Ways are
also being found Of providing enough moisture for rai
ing crops land which irrigation bitches leading from
rivers cannot reach.
Rocky land which for years has been passed by is
being cultivated There comes to mind Arizona
farm made out Of broken rocky soil which one else
cared for but which taken up by several sisters
from Texas They cleared off mountains Of rocks from
the surface and powed out tons of them and
raising late fall tomatoes which they sell at IS
cents pound They put them the market at time
when else has them.
II may be that considerable part Of the unOccuped
public land will be long time coming under cultivation
Perhaps of it will be used for farming. But
there is still plenty of land for the energetic farmer
willing to work and learn.

L = eral laxity that is so apparent
IN the morals Of the city.
We know that we are in exceptional
circumstances. The city is a border

great distance. and We have in our
midst an extra population OF about
10000 men; still allowing for this, We
cannot but feel that things are far
from being as they should be.
In open defiance of theIsw. and in
the face OF an injunction which the
judge does not enforce. we have two

there are between zoo and 300 women.

the districts by far than there is within
them

Thirteen trustees of the home attended

the Vermont department, G. A. r. He
served during the Civil war in the 10th

some question regarding the propriety OF
using the federal appropriations for an
institution wholly under state control.
