The Next Republic To
Be Announced To the
World May Be Greece

To those who have not watched the
trend of affairs in Greece the recent up
heava thru which Constantine lost a
throne may have been a surprise.
If they followed the course Of Nenize-
los, the idol of the Greek people they
will feel that the result was inevitable.
Venizelos is the democrat of Greece
and stands for the masses.
He is not personally ambitious. but
saw in this war possible opportunity
for Greece TO recover some of her lost
provinces and reinstate herself as one
of the powers of Europe.
AS an ally of Germany. ne could see
no hope, especially as Turkey was part
of the Central Powers.
1t is to Turkey that a large part of
former Greek territory now belongs and
large number of Greek people, who are
forced to be Turkish subjects for their
own protection, but who rebel against
it inwardly, still live upon this land.
Venizelos has had a stormy career
during the present war. Four times has
he been deposed and three times has be
been reinstated, thus the pressure
brought to bear by the common people.
SO powerful is Venizelos, that since
his last governmental deposition ne has
been able to establish and maintain re-
publican form Of government at Salonih.
No one knows much of the new king.
He is young and probably not able TO
hold a position contrary to the will of
the Venizelos government if he so de-
sired
We are told that he is pro-Ally and
acceptable TO England
England forced Constantine from the
throne for the protection Of the Allied
armies, she declares.
In the meantime Yenizelos holds the
reins and it would not be surprising if
the next republic 10 be announced were
Greece.

Kerensky Has Made
GoOd-HOw Much Longer
, Can the Kaiser Hold Out!

The word that comes 10 us from Pet
rograd is most reassuring for US; we
would regard it as most ominous for the
kaiser.
With Hindenburgs line having been
battered until it is torn and rent and
weakened, on the western front report
credits the Russians with having begun
the promised drive of early July most
successfully.
Russian artillery, according to the
news at hand at this writing. IS roaring
all along the Galician front. and the
claim is made that 1864 Germans have
been taken prisoner.
An attack of such vigor will mean
much to Haig in the campaign ne IS
making in which he has driven the
enemy to several glorious retreats, de-
scribed in Berlin as victories.
This news is most reassurlng, how
ever, in that it proves that Kerensky,
Russias man of the hour, has reorgan-
lied the army with its spirit intact.
It means, too, that Russia's conf
dence has been won, thanks, beyond any
doubt to President Wilson's message
borne to that country by Elihu Root, de-
fining Americas purpose in the war.
1t means that Germany has failed IN
her attempts at separate peace with
the country just born into democracy,
and that her efforts to fool the people
have been futile.
The moral effect of big Russian sue
cess just at this time might be the thing
TO prove the undoing of the kaiser,
whose stock is not any too high if our
most recent advices are founded on fact,
or even half fact
Business in Germany, We are told, is
sick of the war; sick of supporting 1t,
sick of the way the Germans have bun
gled, sick of the whole business, and
what is more, the kaiser knows it.
Business in Germany Is demanding
peace.
The U-boat campaign has failed.
Haig has been crowding the invading
lines back in France.
The hour is not far away when the
"Sammies" will be there to be contended
with, bringing food for their allies with
them.
Russia has disappointed and has turn
ed on her again and is making telling
blows.
If those blows can be telling enough,
how long will the kaiser be able to hold
out and deny to the German people that
for which the United States enters the
war-PARTICIPATTON IN A DEMO

America, Financial Colossus
By Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Suppose you take your pad and pencil
and just make few notes about this
country of ours as to its wealth.
Do you realize that you are living in
the richest nation in the world?
The United States of America contains
about 1903 l45.0 900 people. Their total
wealth is estimated at $3.50, 900. 900 900.
or about $2,255 per capita This includes
not only actual money but also real es-
tate. factories, railways, etc
We are nearly twice as rich as the
British empire. the wealth of which is
placed at $4,000 00O,O 900: five times as
rich as France, with her $4,000, 600, 900;
six times as rich as Russia, with $40,-
O0O.000,000; twelve times Italy, with
500. 1000 100000; sixteen times Japan,
with $4,000, 100000; and two and a
half times Germany, Austria and Tur-
key combined
The controller of the currency at
Washington. who certainly ought to
know, says that there are in the United
States at present more than ten million
individuals and corporations who might
have subscribed TO the Liberty Loan in
amounts ranging from 500 to 100000.
He further states that there are in
the country more than forty million
persons engaged in gainfu occupations,
besides the large number of men and
women whose income is derived from
their investments. If every individual
in the United States had bought gov
eminent bonds to the extent of only five
per cent of his or her total possessions
the loan would have been subscribed six
times over.
The reports of our national savings
banks on March 5, 1917, showed that
the banks had total of 15,739.96 de-
post accounts, which is 1,449.910 more
than on May l, 1916.
The total increase of deposits in ma
tional banks during these ten months
was about $4,000. 100000.
The latest bank returns, including
banks and trust companies Of all kinds,
indicate total resources of $4,000, 000.-
900, exceeding by far the greatest bank
ing resources ever before shown in any
country.
A great Chicago financier, Mr.. Ar
mour, recently declared:
II consider the present the most aus
picious period from the standpoint of
national prosperity in my memory.
There is not one good reason why the
business Of this country should not pro-
coed in its normal course and on ever
increasing lines There is not one rea-
son why people should fear for the flu
ture or should permit themselves to be
swayed from the certainty that they are
on a sound financial basis. The per cap
tia wealth Of Americans today is greater
than ever before-greater than that Of
the people of any nation at any time in
the past or in the present. Our national
wealth is past the widest dreams of a
few years back.
Whether the war ends tomorrow or
whether it lasts indefinitely, this much is
certain: The United States. having pos
session of approximately 40 per cent of
the worlds supply Of gold, the greatest
natural resources, and geographical iso-
lation, is certain TO suffer less than any
other nation in the war or in the whole
world"

In the American Magazine a farm
er's wife tells of some of her expert
ences. She says:
My husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were luxuries a generation
ago are necessities now. One of my

by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't a screen door in the house, and
only few cheap adjustable screens.

mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were in the hOuse-a part of the

my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, WORE
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outlived
their usefulness.

that reason alone Homework is much
