 There was time when anything was good enough, Dean Roberts says. Samples came wrapped in cloth torn from a side of bacon, old paper, to- baeeo bags or anything else that would hold sand and rock. Sometimes yet specimens find their way to the col lege of mines enclosed in such ma terials-but they are rare.

ing one of the great statesmen of Flu rope today, is also very astute po- litician. His personal organ, the Her aid, which appears every Sunday, has 300,O00 subscribers, and the Cretan writes at least one leading article every week His followers are busy in every cafe as all Greece lives in the cafes in summer There is just one topic of discussion: VenizelOs and the constitution or, gentlemen, the king.
 A neutral diplomats says: "The trouble in Greece is not yet over. It is just beginning King Constantine cannot logically accept the elections calmly, for the elections mean the return of Venizelos. And Venizelos is determined to make it impossible for all time to come for the sovereign of Greece ever to take the reins of power as Constantine I has done if the Cretan has to change the Greek constitution to do it. For King Con stantine to accept this is equivalent to abdication - and I believe he will actually abdicate before he will do it.

Not all, however. show the ingenuity that a miner from north western Washington did recently when he sent in his sample The con tainer he used was a scrap of inner tube from an automobile tire, and he sealed the ends with rubber cement.

GREECE AROUSED OVER COMING
 ELECTION

ATHENS, Aug. 17. - The forthcom- ing elections in Greece (which cable advices have announced will be held in September are being regarded with great importance, in view of what has taken place during the past fifteen months. It is declared, particularly by the adherents of the former prem fer, Venizelos, that militarism is in the balance against democracy, and that the divine right of kings is pitted against republicanism.
 The campaign has already begun with Venezelos serving both as a rally ing point and as point of attack. The anti-Nenizelos journals are calling him traitor, accusing him of having sold his country to the entente powers, and proclaimng him as a potential die tator who would turn his country into French protectorate.
 The Venizelists, on the other hand have assumed the attitude that the king has no power under the consti- tuition. and therefore they are estOp- ped from assailing him for exercising a power which they deny exists.
 The king is really popular, and though many Greeks disapprove out spokenly of the royal participation in politics, there is no bitterness against Constantine I, personally. Nor is the figurehead late premier stephen Skou, loudis especially attacked. Those who come in for attack by the Nenizelists are the officers of the general staff the German propagandist, Baron Schenck, and ex-Minister of Interior Demetrios Gounaris, the real head of the Greek oligarchy.
 There is nothing polite about the political methods of the Greeks. Strong epithets are commonly applied to cpPohOii'n m ''AN NN'''
 Of respectable Athenian journals. And although the army is in process Of demobilization, it's officers are draw ing every possible political advantage of it's organization while there is yet time. The soldiers of today, who Will he citizens tomorrow, are harrangued treated to orders of the day and mani festos and generally shepherded by their officers into the anti-Venizelist fold. Each train bringing "reSerV' ists" (demobilized soldiers) from Ma cedonia Is accompanied by one or more officers, who talk politics to the men until they split up to return to tba,r homes. Political leagues are be ing formed among the reservists un der the tuetlage of anti-Venizelist or fieers, and every effort is being made in conserve all the political adVan ,o.a of mobilization after the army has been disbanded.
 These methods are fraught wi'd menace to any sort of peaceful cleo ,,o,s Venizelos declared that tue Tn ,srvention of the powers guarantorS of Greece on June 21 saved the couh try from impending reVoiu'ioh' anu {, ,s said now that that prospect has m, heen entirely disposed or even yet.
