The Redeemer Of Greece
To Eleutherios Venizelos, Cretan
lawyer and revolutionist, belongs the
double distinction of reuniting his ma
tive island to Greece and of redeem
ing all Greece from the stain put up
on it by it's Germanized king in treat
ing it's solemn treaty engagements as
a mere scrap of paper" Take Jones'
Ell, sometime premier of Roumania,
has left it on formal record that Ven
izelos' conduct has always justified
his Christian name, which may be
fairly translated protector of free
dom"
Born in 1864 and educated at Ath-
ems, Venizelos became internationally
known as a leader of the Cretan re-
volution of 1896 With the reunion of
Crete to Greece he passed into the
Athens parliament, became minister
of foreign affairs, and in 1905 prime
minister. AS such he was prime NOV
er of the alliance of Greece, Serbia
and Bulgaria that in the first Balkan
war came so near ending the Turk
in Europe, and would have done so
had not German intrigue moved Bull
garia to attempt to gouge her allies
out of their fair share of the fruits of
victory.
Venizelos saw from the beginning
what were the real issues of the world
war. and sought to align Greece with
France and England, to which Greece
owed her very existence. But as Ser
bia had at first beaten off the Aus
TRANS, the Germanized King Constan-
tine, whose wife was William Hohen-
zollerns sister, was able to resist and
keep Greece in a craven neutrality.
When Bulgaria joined the Huns neu-
trality was no longer possible with
honor, for Greece had solemnly en-
gagged to aid Serbia if attacked by Bull
garia. German corruption acting
through the traitorious king, drove
Venizelos from office in 1915, but not
before he had sanctioned the landing
of the allies at Saloniki.
Against the king and his corruption
of the army Venizelos appealed to the

vocation of Georges Clemenceau,
prime minister of France for the sec

but best known in his own country as
'the destroyer Of MINISTRIES"
An Outspoken Patriot.
When the war began he entered the
Viviani ministry, but did not remain
long. His patriotism has never been
doubted. but even in the midst of war
he never hesitated to criticize and at

When the exposure of Bolo Pasha's

generally felt that Clemenceau. "the
Tiger" was Frances strongest man,
and his return to the premiership
was not opposed even by the radical
socialists. That was just one year
ago, on Nov. Is, 1917.
How swiftly he dealt with the de

and tireless activity are standing re-
