Greece Wants King To
Wed Entente Princess;
He Wants a Greek Girl

Athens, Greece, Sept 20.-The pros
poets Of a matrimonial alliance for
king Alexander are being widely dis
cuSsed and have become an affair Of
state.
Since he assembled the throne and
Greece Joined the entente the view
has been held that the marriage Of
the young king with q princess Of one
OF the entente countries would be
more in the interests Of Greece than a
private alliance King Alexander has
made IL known. however, that he did
not approve this view, his desire be
ing 10 marry a young Greek woman
OF high character, the daughter Of a
court official.
The issue thus remains open as to
whether the decision will conform
sith what are considered the states
interests or with the primate inclina-

When Conservatives Fall Out
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The letter in to-day's Tribune on
"A Comparison of Criminals" by "a Regu.
lar Republican" interests me. 1t contains,
if we read Alright, definite excusal of the
crime of altering ballots and making false
election reports, and contradicts thereby the
sincerity of the Mayor in bringing about the
indictment Of the persons who are alleged
to have committed this offence.
But the most important matter raised by
this Regulars letter is as to whether the
Mayor is to be preferred to the Tammany
candidate, or vice versa. Among the men
whom | meet in my journey between sunrise
and midnight / find this question is very
prominent. Many are beginning to say, "All
the regular candidates are rummies; let's
vote for Hillqut."
In other words, the more scrapping there
is among the conservative candidates the
greater will be the Socialist vote.

The Russian Point Of View
0 Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The only phenomenal thing about the
Russian situation is that intelligent lockers
on should find anything phenomenal about it.
In obedience to temporal and spiritual
ruler the masses followed his orders like
sheep led to the slaughter when the war was
declared and made certain successes by sheer
force of numbers, though with immense
losses, lacking food, clothing and proper
arms and munitions. With the rulers over
throw and the removal of the motive of sub
mission came, of course, as one OF the first
results, some release from concern in his
war and certain reaction against it and
against the deposed rulers confederates
therein, assisted by the propaganda of Ger
man agents.
As the idea gained ground that enfran-
chisement from the autocratic government
meant release from all government and law
and all protection of property, and a hope
grew up for division among the proetariat
Of land and money and goods Clike the freed
negro's belief in the coming to each of five
acres and a mule" after the Civil War;, this
became the lively interest OF the hour. Why
20 on fighting the Germans, whose interior
ence with il was not dreaded, battling, as
they were represented to be, only for their
own defence, especially as it would involve
cooperation with the Cars former good
friends, his allied governments? These were
represented by their own Bolsheviki, as well
as by those who were lesvening the lump Of
Russian ignorance, as sutocratic and pluto
cratic and greater enemies to democracy than
the Romsnoff dynasty itself had been. Their
subversion was claimed TO be more essential
than German defeat.
If such fsnstical belief commands the
propaganda it has in the United States,
among a people with educative history
OF ordered and orderly democracy, not able
to grasp unanimously the great, unselfsh
ideal for which the war is waged, how can il
be spprehended at once By peasantry hardly
q generation from serfs, whose horizon of
stolid hardship and long suffering is illumi-
mated as in q fash by such confusing and
dazzling possibilities of personal liberty,
with access to the means Of obtaining an
undreamed-of share in all the betterments
OF life?
II may be. since Germany seems TO have
the knack OF defeating her own ends and
creating antagonism in other peoples despite
all her tricks, through contempt for their
psychology, that she will prolong and inten-
sify her recent fierce attacks. II is the one
thing that may arouse Russia from her self
hood and rampant individualism to a national
consciousness. ERNlNG WlNSLOW.

After Effects Of Gardening
lErom NC MinneapolLs JournaD

(FrOm The Minneapolis Jouhd)
How much of the increase of the American
food crop of 1917 over that of 1916 should be
accredited to the patriotic speeding up OF
the tillers of the soil may never be known
But one 1917 farming fact that stands out
beyond dispute is that the production Of FOOD
by the consumer as a side line, through the
application of idle hours to idle land, Is
large factor in the years product.
Certain results of this garden campaign
promise to remain permanent One Is that
a few million men who had hitherto thought
gardening proftless play will hereafter go
seriously to work to make the garden produc-
tive. Another fact is that the diet of Amer
lea will show an increased vegetable element
and a corresponding decrease in meat.
It is not good for any man wholly to with
hold his hand from the soil. The very act
of growing things is recreation of high
type and most men have daily hours fol-
recreation. 1t is possible for nearly every
eight-hour worker to make and maintain q
garden-a plot large enough to yield per-
haps one-third of his food.
To become acquainted with vegetables al
first hand-corn and peas, for example, only
an hour from the garden to the tablets to
look with favor upon them ever after. lr
spite of popular belief, they may be profit
ably made to take the place of portion Of
the customary meat diet And this very fac
will make it possible to feed well a larger
population in America, because meat as fooc
demands much land for its growing, and be
cause it will henceforth be comparatively
scarce and high.
