were all Irish and Germans, and when
pay night came there was fight and
the Germans all went to the hospital
and the Irish went to the guardhouse,
but nowadays the army is the safest

GREEK INDEPENDENCE.

BY a strange coincidence, the same
alliance of great powers-Great Bri-
tain France and Russia--now engag-
ed in fighting Germany and her AUS
trian Turkish and Bulgarian allies.
Brought about the liberation of
Greece from Turkish domination. 1t
was 81 years ago to-day, Feb. 3,
1880, that the independence of Greece
was proclaimed by the allied powers,
thus giving reality to the declaration
of independence made by the Hellenes
eight years before. In 1926, when
England, France and Russia bound
themselves by the treaty of London
to aid the warning Greeks, the latter
were in very bad way. The Egyp-
tan army of the Sultan had captured
Missolonghi and held nearly the whole
of Morea, and war of determination
was being waged against the Greek
patriots. The Allied squadrons des-
troyed the Turkish fleet and their
armies carried on the war with such
Vigor that the Sultan was glad to
make terms.
Remembering these facts, the mai
GRITTY of the Greeks have been pro-
Ally in the present war, and this SEN
timent has been intensified by the
fact that their hereditary enemy, the
Turk, is in the German camp If en-
couraged by the Allies, there is good
ground for believing that the Hellenes
would long ago have raised a success
full revolution against the pro German
King Constantine. 1t is probable,
however, that France alone among
the Allied powers have favored such a
program. AS republicans, Frenchmen
naturally synnpathize with the Ven
ezelist party and their republican as
pirations. AS a monarchy, Russia is
equally opposed to the encoura cement
of republican ideas. Great Britain,
having entered the war in, defense of
a small nation, has from the first
strenuously opposed any interference
with the internal affairs Of Greece.
The Venizelos idea of a Greater
Greece, to include the islands and
cities Of Asia Minor, is opposed by
Italy, which entertains similar ambi-
lions. Thus, according to NJ. Gustave
Rerve, the French Journalist, the AL
lies have no common ground on which
to reach and understanding as to
Greece, and have been unable to make
use of the preponderant Greek senti-
ment which favors their cause.

SIDNEY LANIER

This year marks the semi-centenary
of the beginning of the literary career
of Sidney Lanier, the foremost poet
OF the South and. one of the greatest
in nineteehth century America. Born
in Macon. Ga, just three quarters of
a century ago to-day, he was educated
at Oglethorpe College, graduating
from that institution shortly before
the outbreak Of the Civil war. AS soon
as hostilities commenced he joined the
Confederate army, and took part lin
the seven days battles near Riche
mond. He was captured while in
command Of a blockade runner in
1863, and for five months was a mill
tary prisoner.
After the war Lanier studied law,
