AMERICA IN WAR MEANS FREE WORLD

maintain our neutrality until the mo-
ment Bulgaria attacked Serbia. Had
this policy of the king been sincere it
would have been entirely honorable
But, as events afterward demonstrate
ed, his policy lacked sincerity. Under
the veneer of pacifism that policy at
tempted to exploit the lassitude which
seized Greece after the two Balkan
wars
But In reality his policy was due to
a secret pact with Germany and had
no other purpose than promoting the
victory of Germany, because the tri-
umph of Prussianism, In the kings
opinion, was the only possible oppor-
tunity for him to impose on Greece
an absolute monarchy.
we have proof of this. When Bull
CARA attacked Serbia the crown i'm
mediately took a position conflicting
with that of the majority of the new
parliament, refusing to fulfill the obli-
cations contracted by our alliance with
Serbia. and thus opposing the will OF
the entire country as expressed
told me at that time that he did not
consider himself bound to abide by
the wishes of the people. He said that
whenever an important international
matter came up for decision he re-
served the right to impose upon the
nation his personal viewpoint claim
ing that he was responsible to God
only.
"Divine Right" Doomed to Failure.
1t is quite obvious that such an at
tempt to establish in Greece the prin-
cipie of monarchy by divine right is
doomed to failure at time when that
very principle is abolished in Russia.
Furthermore, the victory over Prus-
sian absolutism and mlitarisn. which
will be more decisive and more COM
plete now, owing to the immense mate
rial and moral resources thrown in the
balance by the great American repub-
lie, will not only result in the miser-
able failure of the attempt made by
King Constantine, but. we believe and
hope, will also demolish In Germany.
TO its very foundations, the antiuuated
institution of autocracy. which is in
compatible with modern civilization
and with the ideals that gave birth to
the great North American republic.
Allow me to add that the entrance
of the United States into the wa
against the central powers and the
noble words uttered by the president
In congress make II certain for us thnt
the peace that will follow the victory
will give birth to new political world.
In which the right of seIf-government
will be guaranteed to every people.

CHANGE IN RUSSIA PLEASES
Attempt to Establish "Divine Right"
In Greece Doomed to Failure"
Says Famous Statesman-
Sympathics With Entente.
BY ELEUTHERlos vENIzELos.

| president of the Greek Provisional Gov
| ernment)
Salonica.-The change that has
taken place in the Russian govern
ment has been hailed by the new
Greece with sincere joy, because the
abolition of despotism and the triumph
of democratic principles in Russia
proves in the most conclusive manner
that the struggle now going on in the
world is essentially contest between
democracy and autocracy.
The entrance into the war of the
great American republic is the most
emphatic confirmation possible of the
nature of the world conflict. The
struggle of the Greek liberal forces
against King Constantine's clique has
never been fight between people fa-
voring war and those who favor Seace.
bur it is a struggle of democracy
for a prolonged period of peace more
than the Liberals, especially after the
exhaustion resulting from the two re-
cent Balkan wars.
Sympathies With the Entente.
Because of the democratic senti-
ments of the country, however, as well
as on account of the bonds of graft
tude and common interest existing
between the powers that guaranteed
Greek safety and constitution in the
eastern Mediterranean. and also be-
cause of our alliance with Serbia. all
our sympathies were from the begin
ming of the war with the entente pow
ers. Moreover. we were firmly con-
WINGED that the developments of the
great struggle would. sooner or later,
make our Intervention inevitable on
account of our treaty with Serbia.
In this conviction we were strength
ened after Turkey. which never recog-
nized our sovereignty over the isles of
the archipelago and which never
ceased to proclaim plainly that she
would go as far as war declaration
In order TO take possession of them,

The Die Is Cast.

The adoption of the war resolution by
the House of Representatives was never
doubtful. Despite all the opposition
that towards and Germanophiles could
muster, only corporals guard carried
their I'M Americansm to the point of an
adverse vote. The final passage was by
a division of almost eight to one.
In the declaration of war, the will and
desire of the vast majority of citizens is
realized, the will of eight to one at the
very lowest estimate. No one has de-
sired this war. All good citizens lament
the necessity for it, We deplore the
breach in our old friendship with the
German people. We are saddened by the
shadow of death and suffering which
this mornings rising sun casts over the
land. We are not Indifferent to the ma.
terial losses involved. We appreciate
the impairment of progress which must
result from the diversion of the national
energies into a single and unproductive
channel.
But there is something higher and
more compelling than all these consid-
erstions. Right is more precious than
peace" There is nothing so much to be
dreaded as loss of independence, enslave-
ment of will and sacrifice of honor.
Casting up the balance between peace
and submission on the one hand and war
with preservation of our national ideals
on the other, there is no room for doubt
or hesitation. We could do no other
wise than accept the temporary evil for
the sake of the ultimate good, and so,
trusting in the justice of God, we accept
the gage of battle that Germany has
thrown down to us. May we prove worthy
as nation of the great cause we have
espoused-worthy in skill, in courage, in
the spirit of sacrifice and in humane use
of the success to which we consecrate
our means and our efforts.
AS for the handful OF weak and wick
ed men who prefer the path of easy dis
honor, we leave them to the contempt of
their contemporaries and the judgment
