King Priam, OF Troy.
The next struggle between Orient
and Occident was in the Persian wars,
$50 and 40 B. C. when Darius and
Xerxes came with their hosts against
the Greeks and were conquered at
the famous battles of Marathon and
Thermopylae and Salamis. Alexan-
der the Great was the first Western
monarch to conquer the East. In
his ambitions and aspirations for
divine honors he has a modern
parallel in William, 2nd.
Rome next swept over the east and
fell heir to the empire of Alexander.
Constantinople in consequence became
the capital, but this was dominated
by Greek influences as is seen in the
Byzantine empire. In 1853. the Otto
man Turks captured Constantinople
and a blight of 400 years settled upon
the Greek peoples.
War of Independence.
The story of the Greek war of in
dependence from 1921 to 1892 is full
of romance, owing to the part taken
in it by Lord Byron and other noted
Philhellenes. 1t showed that the
Greek people still possessed the spirit
of the age Of Pericles. The history
OF the modern Greek kingdom under
King Otho and King George I is one
OF progress.
VeniZelos is the great name in the
Greek history of the last two decades
and through his success in forming
the Balkan federation Greece in 1872
Is through the Balkan wars doubled
its boundaries and entered upon q
career Of great prosperity. II was
at the height Of its fame at the break
ing out Of the present European war.
The key to the Kaiser's grandoise
scheme for a Mitteleuropa which
should dominate the world, which
should stretch from Antwerp to Bag
dad. lay in the little kingdom OF
Greece.
Had the policy of Venizelos been
carried out the story OF the war in the
Balkans would have been very differ
ent. Constantine, the Dane. and So
phie, the Prussian, ruled over Greece;
but for them Greece would assuredly
have saved Serbia, and their COM
Sined armies would have held Bull
garia in check, cut Turkey OF from
German money &nd munitions and
checkmated the Kaiser in the near
east After four years of misrule
Constantine and Sophie have been
deposed and Venizelos has returned
to power. We now see that Grece has
taken her natural place by the side
of the allies and We may yet predict
for her a glorious future.

POSTPONE SOLDIER DANCE
But Sunday Dinner Reception will Be
Held as Usual.

The Saturday night soldiers and
sailors dance at the Topeka Chamber
Of Commerce community house has
been postponed a week on account OF
the Red Cross second war fund drive
in Topeka this week. But the Sunday
afternoon dinner-reception will be
held as usual and all the girls will be
on hand.
The dance part of the weekly COM
munity house progra m had to be post
poned as the Red Cross second war
fund campaigners needed the rooms to
hold the closing luncheon OF the cam
paign. In fact. arrangements for the
Red Cross luncheons in the Chamber
of Commerce are the accepted order
of things and everything has to give
way to them.
But Sunday afternoon the Woman's
Rota club, in charge of the commun-
ity house entertainm .nts in Topeka,
has announced that the dinner-recep-
ton will be bigger than ever and'to
make up for the postponed dance the
ladies are making special preparations
for the dinner part of the Sunday pro-
gram. The dinner-reception Sunday
afternoon will begin at 3 o'clock and
as usual every soldier or sailor who
may be in Topeka Sunday is invited
to attend
The boys a-e requested not to bring
girls with them to the reception or
dinner as the rules of the community
house forbid admittance to any but
girls who have received the printed in
vitations to attend. But. fellows. those
girls that have been invited to attend

ARMY TO HANDLE MAIL
A. e. F. Matter Taken Over from
Postoffice Department Now.

Washington. May 24.-Delivery of
mail to and its collection from the
American expeditionary forces has
been taken over by the war depart
ment.
Postmaster General Burleson, in
making this announcement. said the
postofhce department had insisted on
the army conducting its own mail
service in France because of the re-
fusa1 of the military authorities
charged with the conduct of opera
tons to disclose to the postal authori-
ties the location and movement of
troops.
Mail for the troops overseas will be
delivered by the postoffice department
to army authorities at the ports of
embarkation in the United States and
that from the soldiers abroad will be
received by the postoffice department
at a port in France for its dispatch to
America

POETICAL MYSTERY
Authorship of Poem Credited tc
Montana Officer.

Mystery surrounds the authorship of
a brand new poem that has come to
Trench and Camp out of the sanitary
train. This literary gem is entitled
Karin to Go" and is signed Mon
tana Bill" The Montana part of the
nom de plume. so Dame Rumor has
it, refers to the home of a certain
well known officer of the train.
Be the authorship of the poem as
it may, those who have read the pro-
duction have pronounced it a good
one. The reader may judge for him
self:
We're a gettin' our equipment.
And we're goin over Seas"
To help our Yankee brothers,
Lick the kaiser to his knees.
We're a trusty lot. and cheerful,
College man and farmer lad;
And with all our bloomn' trainin'
When we hit 'em, We'll be bad.
Well be bad as fightin' soldiers,
With cave-man instincts wild,
But when the fightin's over
Well be docile as a child.
Wen come back to Gods own country
When the awful war is thru.
And we'll lead clean lives and honest
As the army's taught us to.
And life'n be packed full of fun:
For We've licked the bloody stuffin'
Out Of the ruthless. beastly Hun!
