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
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
garia 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
through the recent election. The king
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-
ciple of monarchy by divine right is
doomed to failure at a time when that
very principle is abolished in Russia.
Furthermore, the victory over Prus-
sian absolutism and militarism, 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-
King Constantine, but, we believe and
hope, will also demoliSh in Germany,
to it's very foundations, the antiquated
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 war
against the central powers and the
noble words uttered by the president
in congress make it certain for us that
the peace that will follow the victory
will give birth to a new political world,
in which the right of government
will be guaranteed to every people
The league Of democratic nations will
attain the ideal Of universal peace and
eradicate forever the destructive agen-
cy now ravaging humanity.

EXTRA PITCHING PRACTICE
 CAUSE OF POOR HITTING
Pitchers Get Edge on Eaters by Their.
 Early Start.

That the plan of McGraw and Bill Donovan to give their pitchers a weeks start on the batters and make the latter work their way out of a hole shown on the exhibition scores of the past few days.
 The Tanks, for instance, were so helpless before the terrific speed of Slim Love that but one solid hit was made all afternoon at Macon
 In Dallas the Giants were beaten by Dallas because the minors had on ..ie firing line two pretty well1-seasoned Giant experiment pitcher. Kelley, came close to pitching a nohit game, even in defeat.
 At Waco the Giant batters of the second team were very weak, and their skin were saved by the spec tacular fielding of Davy Robertson.
 It has long been a question as to the efficacy of this method of train ing ball clubs. and the answer Is not yet in sight. Some managers main tai nthat when the batters go I'D against stiff pitching at the start they are inclined to lose their enthu- of the bat against soft pitching puts the spring spirit i ntheir veins and makes them ambitious to cut loose.
 But McGraw. and Donovan have tried it both ways and are inclined to favor the plan of giving the pitcher the start.
 Tt often happens. as you know, said Donovan a few weeks ago, that batterS whale the ball all over the lot down South and suddenly find them selves at a dead stop when against the season We are trying to obviate the major league brand at the start of that by having hem trained against the real thing and work up to state of efficiency gradually"
 McGraw agrees with Donovan in this but he goes still further and makes the rather interesting observation that good pitching in the early days of training not only helps the regular batters in. the long run. but it helps the manager to get a line on the youngsters who so often flourish like morning glories against the soft pitch ing, only to blow up when they tackle the big leagues.
 If the present plan can do anything to stop the budding and conseq lent exploding of these bush league phe- noms the two managers will be well repaid for the trouble.

EVANS MAY LOSE
 HIS GOLF TITLES

It is fine indoor sport now for golf CTS to speculate what's going to hap pc nthis year to the pair of national titles held by Chick Evans. Most all the predictions for the coming season on the links start and end with Chicks trophies. Apparently a great deal is going to happen to the Westerner's championships if present forecasts come true, because it is the universal opinion of golf followers that Chick will part with. his titles.
 You could line up all the profes- sional players and hardly find dis senter to the feeling that Evans will at least lose his open championship at Brae Burn. The pros point out that only three amateurs-Ouimet Travers and Evans-ever won the American open title and these vic- tories were made in four years. The professional exceedingly proud of his own skill. simply says that the paid talent will get going so strongly this summed that he amateurs won't even threaten the leading positions.
 To back up his argument the pro will recall the wonderful consistent playing of Walter Hagen, Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchinson in 1916 and the many young stars who are rapidly forging their way to the front ranks.
 At this time the pros are very con- fdent Evans or any other amateur will not get within shooting range of
