Experience the Best Teacher.
1t is generally admitted that
experience is the best teacher,

the experience Of others as well
as our own? The experience of a
thousand persons is more to be
depended upon than of one indi-
vidual, Many thousands of per-
sons have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for coughs and
colds with the best results
which shows it to be a thorough.
ly reliable preparation for those
diseases. Try it. 1t is prompt

ment Of DR.. Michaelis was made with
out previously sounding Parliament,
and that the new Chancellor accepted
the post without consultation with the
party leaders or an attempt TO learn
whether his proposed policy was ac-
ceptable 10 the Reichstag, and con-
slider this confrmatory evidence that
the Reichstag's desire for formal ac-
knowledgment of parliamentary con-
troll Of the old government was ignored.
Responsibility on Reichstag.
The "Vossische Zeitung" points out
that to establish the principle Of par
liamentary control the Reichstag has
only 10 exercise il, and says the re-
sponsibility for the present irrespon-
sible system rests with the Reichstag,
which lacks the vigor, initiative and
unity to impose its will upon the ap-
pointing of officials.
This newspaper asserts that without
this will il is useless to write the par
liamentary principle into the consti-
tuition, while with II a formal declara-
tion would be unnecessary, as the
Reichstag would always be able TO dis
place an unsatisfactory Chancellor or
minister
The Liberal newspapers now assume
that Dr.. Michaelis, in his underlying
political views, is a moderate conserya-
tive and cannot have failed IN his
almost forty years career IN the Rus
sian bureaucracy TO have absorbed the
prevailing political tenets Of that caste.
They say that above all, however, ne

training, and that 1t remains to be seen
how he will develop in an office requir-

Greece Joins War;
Army of 100000
Will Aid Allies
Nation Now a Belligerent
Against Central Powers
France Is Informed
Is Venizelos's Work
Mobilization Is Under Way to
Put Big Force Into the
Balkan Campaign
Is Venizelos's Work

Washington, July l6.-Uncertainty
as to Greece's status in the world war
was cleared away to-day, with the re-
CENT of official information that the
Greek government not only has sew
cred relations with all four Of the
Central Powers, but is actually IN
state of war with them.
Information has reached the State
DEPARTMENT that the Greek Minister
in Paris has notified the French gov
ornment that Greece considers her
self a full belligerent, and will act ac-
cordingly. He said i was not neces-
sary to issue a formal declaration OF
war. as the government feels it is
bound by the declaration previously is
sued at Salonica by Premier Nenlzelos'
who took with him to Athens all the
responsibilities and commitments OF
the temporary Salonica government.
As a belligerent. Greece is expected
20 lose no time in mobilizing her war
resources and joining effectively in the
common Allied operations in the Bal
kans. The strength Of the Venizelos
army is placed at about $4,000 men,
and the remnants of the former regu-
lar army. while not over 10000 now,
have at times been modified to total
Of 100000 men, and are capable ot
reaching 100000 If munitions are pro-
vided The regulars practically were
demobilized by the Allies. when former
King Constantine held the organization
as a threat 10 the Allies rear. but can
quickly be called 10 the colors again.
While it is understood the new gov
ernment has not yet modified this
army. the classes of 1915 and 1917, pre-
viously prevented by the Allies from
teing called out. were called 70 the
colors about two weeks ago. Commits
sioner Jonnart, whom the Allies in
trusted with enforcing Constantine's
abdication. has reported that a Greek
army Of 250,000 will be raised 10 add
10 the 10000 Allied soldiers already
in the Balkans.
A Greek mission may be sent TO the
United States not only to negotiate
for supplies for this army, but also to
present Greece's situation as TO the
general world reconstruction after the
war. For the present it is probable
Greece will be munitioned by the Al
lies. -,
1t is understood here that while
some pro-German. anti-war spirit re.
mains in Greece a great majority OF
the people are happy that fiat de-
cision has az last been made and that
the perils and uncertainties that have
beset the nations attempt to be aeu-
ual are ended.
