stantine's life is the way in which he
became the peoples idol. After having
been dismissed as commander of the
Greek army in 1909sbecause Of popular
clamor, Constantine, then Grown
Prince, decided to accept command
in the Russian army, but the opposi-
tion to him at home lost its rancor
and he was restored to his former dig
mites.
He finally became national hero
in the Balkin war of 1912, when he led
an army of 10000 Greeks to the cap
ture of Saloniki, causing 10000 Turks
to lay down their arms. His popular
ity was such, as result Of this feat,
that Greeks in America raised several
thousand dollars with which to pur-
chase gift sword, inscribed: "To
Constantine, the Liberator."
A crisis in Constantine's fate arose
in the latter part Of April, 1917, when
it was announced that he had served
an ultimatum on the Entente Powers,
demanding guarantee against
French invasion and that he be per-
mitted to retain his throne. He offer
ed, If this was done to form cabinet
agreeable to the Entente His attitude
was regarded as threatening war upon
the Entente Forces, unless his de-
mands were granted.

American troops, under General

The Government will see that moth
ing is lacking, in equipmet and mater.
ial to make them efficient fighting
men.
The American Red Cross must see
that nothing is lacking to keep them
healthy, happy and efficient soldiers.
For this the Red Cross must have:
|. Hospital and medical equipment
to supplement that of the Army Med
ical Department equal to any emer-
gency.
Equipment to care for 100000 men
ought to be provided at once.
Q. Recreation and rest facilities be-
hind the firing line.
Americans on leave, unlike the Brit
ish and French, cannot return to their
homes. Club rooms, sports supplies,
books and other means of recreation
must be sent from America.
8. Personal comfort kits and small
articles not included in army regula-
tions.
Many thousands of articles, from
brushes to writing paper, pipes, ETC.,
are needed to take the place of things
that could not be brought along.

with the statesmen of Greece and re-
suited in the establishment of a pro-
yisional government headed by Eliph-
therjos Venizelos, whom the King had
driven from the post of Premier.
Throughout long series Of negotia-
tions and conflict with the Entente
commanders Constantine was often ac-
cused of being pro-German in sym
! pathies, largely, it was charged, as a
result Of the influence of Queen Sophia
sister Of the German Emperor, whom
he married in 1889. Constantine de-
clared throughout that he desired only
| to maintain neutrality and that he was
actuated not by pro-German sympath-
les but by considerations Of the vel
fare Of the Greeks.
Born on August 8, 1868, Constantine
was educated largely by private tutors
from Leipsic, which was said to have
stamped upon him a permanent Ger
man influence. His military education
was furthered by attendance at man
oeuvres in Germany.

more farmers, it was urged that the
farmers plant sufficient potatoes to
make car load shipments.
A Chicago firm wanted to contract
them at 81 90 per bushel, but the prop
osition was opposed by several present
and it was decided to take their own
chances with the price, which this in
stance was lucky strike.
There are several cars shipped and
to be shipped at points in the county

YOUNG MEMS
BUSINESS CLUB
Will Be Organized at the City Hall
T0night--Secretary Bridges, of
Jackson, will Explain Objects.

All live young men Of Greenwood
are urged to be present at the Cit
Hall tonight at eight o'clock for tn,
purpose Of organizing a Young Mem
Business Club in this city,
Mr.. W. p. Bridges, Secretary Of tn,
Young Mems Business Club of Jack
son, has been invited to be present
and will give some interesting facts
about the work Of that organization ir
the Capital City, which was the sec,
ond to be organized in the United
States.
The Young Mems Business Clubs Of
America have sprung into Importance
as one Of the most important factors
in civic life in nearly all the important
factors in civic life in nearly all the
important cities in the country. These
organizations Of the young men for
the betterment of the cities in which
they have been organized are filing an
important place, since they utilize the
efforts Of the young men who would
otherwise have very little part in pub
lie movements.
The first Young Mems Business
Club was organized in Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1915, followed shortly by the
onesat Jackson, Mississippi.
Since that time there have been
over one hundred and fifty clubs Of
this nature organized, most of whom
are affiliated with the National Or
ganization. Nine cities in Mississippi
now have such organizations, Jackson,
Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Mag
nolia, Iuka, Natchez, Canton, and va
200 City. The organization to be form
ed among the live young men of
Greenwood tonight will make the
tenth in the Magnolia State.
The Young Mems Business Club
Movement in the country is the ex-
preston Of the awakening Of the
young men of the nation to their duty
as citizens, and to the fact that they
have their part to play in the upbuild-
ing Of their communities. These or
ganizations are strictly democratic in
their nature, every young man In
Greenwood who feels that he has a
duty as citizen to perform, and who
wants to be lined up with progressive
young element in the city, is invited
to be present tonight.
The motto If the Young Mems Bus
mess Clubs is Nothing too big, moth
ing too small which tends for the bet
terment Of the community, or the po-
sition Of the young men of the com
munity.
The Young Mems Business Clubs
are the ones who are always alive to
every opportunity TO advance the in
terests Of their communities, the first
on the ground and the last to leave
when there is something requiring
"Pep" and energy to put through.
This is attested by the Importance to
which this organization in the Capital
City has arisen during its two years
Of existence. Whenever proposition
comes up in Jackson the by-word is
"Ask the Y. M. B. G."
