gravely wrote down in the sacred Koran: We have defeated the Greeks, but a time will come when they will defeat us also.' It is this day of Creek triumph toward which all pious Turks have looked with ap- prehension. In February, 1915, when they were told that a Greek army was ready to land in the Dardanelles, many Turks fled from Constantinople, thinking that the promised day of reckoning had come.
 With the Greeks it has been just the reverse. Even in the dark days, when they had been defeated and ut terly exhausted by the Turks, they did not lose their faith in the future re- birth of their. nation. Secretly they taught their children to sing: "Af- ter some years, this country will again l belong to us." In 1774, just ono year | before our own Revolutionary War | the Greeks attempted their first re. volt. It was put down and the Gr2ek | spirit of independence waited until
 1921 to try again. In 1921 began the series of wars for freedom which won for Greece the admiration an6 assistance of the larger powers o1 Europe. The laterary men as well al

VAST EXTENT OF
 AUSTRIAN DEFEAT IS NOW REVEALED

Rochester, Nov. 21.---The extent of the Austrian military disaster which preceded the appeal of Austria for an arrnistice, is indicated by figures made public last night by Edward A. Moree, representing the Italian Bureau of Public Information in New York City. These figures show that practically the whole Austrian army, men and equipment, was in the hands of Italy | before the armistice terms were signed. One million Austrian prison CTS had been counted up to the first of this week, all of them captured since the beginning of the Italian drive which put Austria out of the war Prisoners are still surrendering, being driven out of the caves and the high mountain passes by the severi- ties of winter. There were left barely 200, coo men of the Austrian army who iuetreated in great disorder across the
 border.
 l The tremendous effort of taking an i inventory of the booty captured is still

 ian army; 1000 guns, heavy and light.
 have been counted; 2,5G0 horses and
 12, 000 automobiles and auto trucks
 have also been counted.

Washington, Nov. 20 - President Wilson, in a two-hour session with members of his cabinet yesterday, dis cussed the preliminary plans of his trip abroad as the head of America's delegation to the peace conference.
 Absolute necessity of uninterrupted, continuous communication for the government during the period of re- adjustment, is the reason ascribed by Postmaster-G General Burleson for the Presidents decision to take control of the cable syst~.n.
 At the conference of the Republi cans yesterday Senat r Watson wig orously denounced the taking over of the cables He declared that the pur- pose of government control was to fla cilitate a strict censorship over all the news coming from the peace confer ence. He said that George Greet, chairman of the committee on Public Information, intended to 90 abroad with a staff of his assistants and that through the control of the cables it would be impossible for newspaper respondents to get through any
  sanctioned by the Creel bureau.
 The President. it was learned, does rot believe that he will experience difficulty in directing the affairs of the country while he is in Europe. During his absence the cabinet will meet regularly and he will be kept advised constantly on everything of importance that transpires here. One of the main reasons for the govern ment taking control of the cables is ro insure absolutely secret and unin- terrupted communication between the President and the officials of this country while he is in France.
 No other information was forth coming from the White House as to the date of the Presidents departure save that 1t will will be early in December-or the personnel of oul peace delegation.
 The Presidential party will sail or the Agamemnon, formerly the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of the North German Line. The ship is being prepared fol the occupancy of the President ant his suite. The Agamemnon is swiftel than the former Hamburg-Americar liner Vaterland and has better accom- modations for passengers. Presiden and Mrs. Wilson are to occupy the Imperial suite onve used by tn, former Kaiser while cruising on tn vessel.
 It is believed that the Presiden may be an actual delegate, and tha

after his return to this country he will be represented at Versailles by proxy. Colonel House, the Presidents personal advisor, who Is now in France, will serve in this capacity for him. it is suggested. While develop ments both here and abroad make impossible the final choice of our peace envoys, it is practically agreed that the following men will be among the lot:
 Secretary of State Lansing, Secre- tary of War Baker, Elihu Root and Colonel House.
 Overnight gossip eliminated both Secretary of Agriculture Houston and former Justice Charles E. Hughes.
 There remains the possibility, how ever, of former President Taft and Justice Brandeis being numbered among those present" at the peace table, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, also has been mentioned.
 Barring Secretaries Lansing and Baker and Colonel House, though, all states are gathered from the thin air. as nothing definite has come from the President, and none of his aides care to tell what they believe he will do.
 Many invitations from cities and municipalities in France. England and Italy came to the White House yester- ! day. Officials believe that the Presi- l dent may visit London.

 It was reported in diplomatic quar ters here yesterday that the sever Latin-AmeFican countries that fol lowed our lead and declared war o1 1 Germany, together with the four tha severed diplomatic relations with tn enemy, had decided to Hump" thei interests at the peace conference an, to ask President Wilson to be thei spokesman.
