With the statement made by the

those who eminate arguments OF the
character which the Morning News has
printed, believe that the unfortunate
people who will be inmates OF an in

have not forgotten the famous Three
Hundred at Thermopyla, that the
Greek revolution of 1921 has not been
fought in vain. Greece will shortly
have modified an army Of 10000, and
they will fight with you to the death.
