GREECE NEAR FAMINE.
Premier Believes Measures Taken
Will Relieve Distress.

Athens, Sept. 25.-Premier Venl-
zelos, who has returned to Athens
much benefited from rest cure at
Hvpatia. in an interview said:
"The general trend of affairs Is
satisfactory. The situation Is well IN
hand. The problem of food supplies,
however, is offering great obstacles.
especially in the matter OF inland
communication. But the measures
which have been adopted are rellcv-
ing the existing distress which
amounts to something approaching
famine.
""The result of recent recruiting IN
the army exceed expectations. This
indicates that the poison which the
late, regime tried to introduce among
the youth of the country is being
eradicated and the future is hopeful.

Admit Dread of Being Shot in Back,
Lecturer Declares.
That German officers are afraid to
lead their men, lest they be shot
down from behind was the startling
declaration of DR.. August f. knud-
sen. dean of the krotona Institute,
in lecture on "The Development
ard Use of PowerE before the
Washington Lodge of the Theosophicai
Society, last night. He based his
charge ON conversation with a
German officer Of the line
"Germans are not fighting with
the vim and enthusiasm of a people
who are inspired with principles OF
Justice" Dr.. Knudsen explained to
his audience. "Their barbarous ac-
tivities, on the other hand, are done
automatically at the direction of
steeled officers, whom the soldiers
personally hoN tne utiiiosc coHteiiPs
end hatred for.
".As an officer in the United States
army" the speaker continued in ex-
PLANTATION. 81 once asked German
officer who was an acquaintance of
mine, why it was that he never led
his troops in battle with the flourish
ment of sword as his ancestors of
old.
"To my surprise he told me it was
because should he not take q posi-
tion in the rear and spur them ON
with threats of death they would
without doubt turn upon him and
kill him"
