involve a landing under the guns of

Big Italian Army in Albania.
The statement above takes no ac-

They have been estimated at 100000.
This army would play an important
part in any advance through Albania
against the Austro- Bulgar army. Good
roads already have been built from the
base at Avlona to the junction with
the French and Serbian forces near
Lake Orchrida. An Albanian army UNI

The Greek minister, M. Roussos, on
receipt of official dispatches from
Athens, gave out a statement. in
which he said: "
"The people are thoroughly confident
of the efficiency of their government
and they are willing to allow the pres
ent ministry to continue in the work
of reorganization of the resources of
the country so that Greece may throw
her full strength into the war.
There is now no pro- German party
in Greece. In fact such party never
existed save in the person of King
Constantine aided BY certain members

feelings Of the Greek. Deonle. md he
never dared openly to expound his pro-
German convictions.
To-day the real state of affairs as
regards the court has been exposed,
The abdication of King Constantine

the people indicates the absence of any
organized pro-German feeling. Per-
feet order now reigns and the malcon-
tents have been disposed of. Greece
will now use every effort to aid the
common cause"

The reports. comes to The Leader of

came to town during the illness and
absence of the Rev. Father Arsenios
Davis, and went to work on the Greek
population, with religious nux vomica

Greek community. The religious slop-

tleman several grains of his religious
mixture, when Father Davis interpos-
ed his objections and ended the discus
sion and protest with a right and left
swing to the temples, and a short up
per cut to the chin. The young man
concluded that he would withdraw his
pro-German mixture from the market
and that relgiously he would cease to
travel, and slope no more. Under
Marquis of-Queensbury rules the de-
cision was given to Father Davis.

Two Versions OF The Scrap Contributed
To The Leader By Two Americans
Tha Leader Man D9ss Not Speak Greek And Does
Not Vouch for the Correctness Of Either Reporter

Tomorrow, court will be held SO as
to settle quarrel between the Greek
priest and the little Russellite teacher.
1t seems that today the Russellite
teacher made some slanderous re-
marks towards the Greek religion. But
this did not warrant the Greek priest
and several other leading Greek citi-
zens of Tarpon to openly attack the
teacher. 1t is true that the most Of
us do not approve this Russellite re-
ligion, but granted all that, we cannot
approve of striking fellow being, be-
cause there is no law in the United
States to prevent a man from teaching
any religion he wishes. The little Rus
selllte teacher is physically a cripple
and this alone should keep an able
bodied man from striking him. 0
We hope that justice will be shown
all parties connected in the matter.

HELPING TO WIN
THE WAR
Article H.-Adyice to Americans Be-
tweet the Ages of and 16.
by George Ade.l

Assuming that this letter is now
being read by some boy or girl old
enough to go to school but still young
enough, to be called skid" (by those
who don't know any better), let US
begin by asking the question, "Is it
wrong to ight?"
Every boy or girl with civilized par
ents can answer that question.
1t is not to be answered by Eyes"
or mo-"
eff we say Eyes" we admit at once
that our old friends George Washing
ton and U. S. Grant were depraved
characters, because they fought and
then kept on fighting.
If Buffalo Bill once upon a time
rode out across the plains and came
upon a band of Indians attacking a
settlers cabin and went dashing up
with his scouts and killed few red
skins, is there any boy in the world
who would go back on Buffalo Bill
and pick out some quiet, elderly real
estate dealer as a substitute hero?
It's too foolish to talk about.
Suppose we say it is NOT wrong to
fight. Then we remove all blame from
the Indians that Buffalo Bill killed
and we find ourselves so mixed up
that probably we had better back up
and take new start.
In answer to the question, "Is it
wrong to fight" there can be but one
sensible reply, as follows: cit all de-
pends."
Suppose boy of IA is walking along
the street with his sister and the
neighborhood bully swaggers around
the corner and pushes the bcy up
against fence and cuffs him along
side the head and then tries some in
sulting familiarities on the sister, and
suppose the boy who is thus hunili-
ated and whose sister is in tears, sud-
