Black Maria.

Some years ago a writer in the
English Notes and Queries, writing
a bout the name BLACK Maria" as ap-
piled to prison vans. quoted from a
periodical, presumably English NAM
ed the Million, as follows:
During the old colonial days
Maria Lee, a negress, kept sailors
boarding house in Boston. She was
a woman of gigantic size and prodi-
gious strength and was OF great as
sistance to the authorities in keep
ing the peace, as the entire lawless
element Of that locality stood in awe
of her. Whenever an unusually
troublesome person was to be taken
to the station house the services OF
Black Maria, as she was called were
likely to be required. 1t is said that
she once took at one time and with
out assistance three riotous saSors to
the lookup. SO frequently was tho
help required that the expression
Send for Black Maria came to mean
Take the disorderly person to Jail.
1t is easy to see how the name became
fixd to the prison van"

of Adrianople, extending from the Balkans down to Constantinople, he declared, is as much Greek as 1t is Turk and with rhe Turks out it is practically all Greek Even Constantinople," he said, lis a Greek city-the largest of Greek cities-with a population of 350,- 900 Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent of Greek citizenship in all this section down to the straits which will have to be considered, on the bas(s of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe.
 That is why I say" added Prof. Andreade, that if the Turk is to withdraw, the principle of national ity which recognizes the racial con- dition of a community, will lead to the recognition of Greek paramount influence in that section. Thus far the principle of nationality has been ignored and violated in all Balkan settlements. and force has prevailed.

 Pref. Andreade referring to the Balkan map, showed how the re- adjustment of Balkan boundaries, based on nationalities, would inter- pose two barriers to Germanic ex- parsion, toward Asia Minor and the Orient, one the Greek zone across Thrace ana another the Serb-Ru- manian link is only fifty miles across and lies between Hungary and Bulgaria.
 And thus entente Europe can accomplish what it chiefly seeks in the Balkans said Prof. Andreade, friendly entente zones intercept ing the natural route of Germanic expansion to ward the Orient, and this can be accomplished, not by force, but by the principle of na- tionality now accepted by the en- tente powers.

thcrities on international affairs re- lating tc the Balkans, holds this view, and in the course of talk today he explained how these two results would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment, by reason of the principle of rational ities now accepted by the entente allies as a basis for territorial re- adjustment.
 Prof. Andreade, who is special ist on the extent of Greek citizen ship beyond the Greek frontiers in Macedonia and the other Bal kans, in Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor-pointed out the great pre- dominance of the Greeks ih the re- gions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to leave Europe.
