Modern Greece

The present kingdom of Greece cores
ponds, since the incorporation of Thessaly,
very nearly to ancient Greece in the mar
rover sense. 1t is bounded on the north
by Turkey. and on all other sides by the
sea-Ionian Sea on the west, the Mediter-
ranean proper on the south. and the Aegean
Sea on the east. The mainland forms two
chief portions, united by the narrow 18TH
mus of Corinth. The largest island is Eu-
boea, separ ated from the mainland by the
narrow channel of Euripo. The area of
Greece is Is, OLA square miles; population
before the war) 2,433, 800. Greece is, of
course, directly concerned in any settlement
of the so-called Balkan problem which may
be made by the Peace Conference, and it
remains to be seen whether any recognition
will or will not be given to her claims to
portions of Turkey as we'll as of Macedon-
ia.
The lang uage spoken by the educated
classes, that used in the newspapers and
other modern literature of Greece, differs
from the Romaic used by the lower classes.
The former is distinguished by a greater
resemblance to the Greek of antiquity,
which renders it easy for any one who has
a satisfactory acquaintance with ancient
Greek to read the literary Greek of the pres
ent day.

Size of Poland

Notwithstanding the fact that in the war
nearly 5000, 1000 Polish. speaking soldiers
were forced into fratrcidal combat, driven
into battle by German and Austrian and
Russian conscriptions, to fight their coun-
try cousins and brothers, many persons
seem to believe Poland a small nation,
writes Frederick Moore in Worlds Work.
They forget the magnitude of its historic
domain and the numbers of its people.
The kingdom of Boleslaus the Great 1892
1025) stretched from the Baltic sea to the
Carpathians. 1t included part of Saxony,
the whole of Silesia, and stretched away
almost to Berlin. In 1772, when came the
first dismemberment, Poland covered 300,-
600 square miles, almost 10000 miles
more than the German Empire of today.
Its population was II, 500, 0UO. 1t ranks in
deed with Italy as the fifth European nation.
Before the outbreak of the war there was
compact mass of IS, 900, 900 people in Eu-
rope speaking the Polish language;and what
ever ruler might claim dominion over them.
they were one; no mutilation of the nation
al body, no cruelties or expressions, could
dissever the Poles in spirit. They remain
today one nation in language and in asper-
ations, despite century and half of .po-
litical slavery, and through all these years
the love of liberty has burned within them
as an inextinguishable fame.

The Purest Joy

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these My brethren, ye have
done it unto Me-
If l can live
To make some pale face brighter, and to
give
A second lustre to some tear-dimmed eye,
Or cen impart
One throb of comfort to an aching heart,
Or cheer some way-worn soul in passing by;
If can lend
A strong hand to the fallen, or defend
The right against single envious strain,
My life, though bare,
Perhaps, of much that seemeth dear and
fair
To us of earth, will not have been in vain.
The purest Joy
Most near to heaven, far from earth's
alloy,
Is bidding cloud give way to sun and shine;
And twill be we'll
If on that day of days the angels tell
OF me, she did her best for one of Thine. =,

II was singing to the mouthpiece of a
telephone" said Edison, ''when the vibra-
tions of my voice caused fine steel point
to pierce one of my fingers. That set me
to thinking. If could record the motions
of the point and send i. over the same sur
face afterward, saw no reason why the
thing should not talk. That's the story"
1t was only an idea, but out of that sim
pie notion sprang the phonograph.

world the discovery of galvanic electricity,
so useful in transmitting vocal and written

According to figures made public by the
ordnance department of the interallied bu-
reau of statistics greater amount of NUM-
tions and firearms was produced monthly

To Peace, With Victory

/ could not welcome you, o longed- for
Peace,
Unless your coming had been heralded
By victory! The legions who have bled
Had elsewise died in vain for our release.
But now that you come sternly let me kneel
And pay my tribute to the myriad dead,
Who counted not the blood that they have
Against the goal their valor shall reveal.
All! what had been the shame, had all the
And stripes of our brave flag dropped still
unfurled,
When the fair freedom of the weary world
Hung.in the balance. Welcome then the
Welcome the sacrifice! With lifted head
Our nation gree.s dear Peace as honor's

And ye the Brave, the Fallen in the fight,
Had ye not perished, then were honor dead!

The Dead at ClonmaCnoiS

In quiet watered land, land of roses,
Stands Saint Kieran's city fair,
And the warriors of Erin in their famous
generations
Sumber there.
There beneath the dewy hillside sleep The
noblest
Of the clan of Conn,
Each below his stone, with name in branch
ing Ogham,
And the sacred knot thereon.
There they laid to rest the seven kings of
Tara;
There the sons of Cairbre sleep
Battle. banners of the Gael, that in Kieran' s
plain of crosses
Now their final hosting keep.
Aud in Conmacnois they laid the men of
Tefia,
And right many lord of Breagh;
Deep the sod above Clan Creide and Clan
Conail,
Kind in Hall and fierce in fray.
Many and many son of Conn the Hun
dred fighter
In the red earth lies at rest;
Many blue eye of Clan Colman the turf
covers,
Many a swan-white breast.

LeaUes From Our Poets.
Bingen on the Rhine

When l was still tow-head kid across an
ancient spell,
And had to do as l was bid or catch all

still recall with maudlin curse the day

Aud kick in with some foolish verse with
terror in my eyes;
''Beneath the Spreading Chestnut Tree
'<The Ride of Paul Revere
'Upon Stern and Rock bound Coast
and others just as sere;
But from the list which stands accurst where
Nightmares still entwine,
The one that recited first was "Bingen on
the Rhine.''
Ach Gott! The morning arose upon the
schoolhouse stand,
With pallid cheek and shaking toes and
tremors of the hand;
My heart went up to meet my mouth, my
bulging eyes grew dim.
My tongue was drier than drouth along
Sahara's rim;
ga soldier of she legion lay''-and then
with starting tears,
stopped without word to saw, for for
got Algiers.
And that's why heart and soul still burn
and cold chills soak the spine,
Each time my morbid thoughts return to
Bingen on the Rhine.
And now against the Huns abode with
steady tramp along,
The old Third Army hits the road, two
hundred thousand strong;
As dim dawns from the eastward creep the
vanguards down ihe plain,
They hold their sector of the sweep thai
started from Lorraine.

the bally map,
Nor yet which Allied army lands upon it.

All the minor leagues are getting ready
to open the season with a bang. Maybe
they'll close in that way too.
Earl Baldwin is the latest Yankee re-
cruit. He is catcher who made a good
record in the Pacific league.
Jack Dunn declares that Earl Smith,
the young backstop purchased by the
Giants, is the greatest young catcher he has
ever seen.
-Wilbert Robinson has signed a couple
of juvenile inhelders from Scranton. Hugh
lie Jennings must have overlooked them.
Eddie Plank isn't saying anything
about reporting to the Yanks in the spring.
The veteran doesn't have to worry about

The Artist

l wish l were an artist like
The one nurse tells about;
He works so very quietly
When all the lights are out.
When nights are cold and still
And everybody sleeps,
Without sound he comes along
And at the window peeps.
Then silently, upon the pane
With icy pencil draws
A picture of high mountain peaks
And trees and ferns and straws.
He's travelled all around the world
And knows just how they look.
He doesn't have to copy them
From any picture book.
He works so swiftly he can make
A thousand in a night,
And in the morning you will find
Them there all sparkling white.
If you would find out for yourself
And see his work some day,
Wake up before the morning sun
Has chased Jack Frost away.

Ideas Worth Fortunes

A soldier was once tramping along a
country road on his way to rejoin his unit.
Hearing that his luck was rather down, a
casual friend put him up for the night at an
inn, and on parting with him in the morn
ing gave him some tobacco. To show his
gratitude, the soldier parted with the only
thing he had which he thought would be of
service to his benefactor, the recipe for
making bootblacking. Out of that simple
recipe was born great polish firm.

A Ballad of Officers Mess

The officers mess
Was wont to guess
What kind of meat
They had to eat
But none could tell
Just what the deuce
Was on that plate
Mid all that juice
1t might be pork,
1t might be stork,
Or alligate,
Or equine skate,
Frog, age or ram,
None cared fig,
When hungry, one
Just srarts to dig.

Twas deadly boar;
The major swears
He's tasted hares;
We second lieuts.
Could SUE have told,
But we ate last
The scent was cold.
Our wagers rough
On meat so tough
All come to naught,
AS we'll they ought.
Here ends my yarn
No bets went through;
1t wasn't fair,
They had zoo.

"You have no enemies,' you say;

He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty that the brave endure,

Or put no treacherous wretch to rout,
You've never turned wrong into right,
You've been a coward in fight.

There is no other land
That's half so fair as you,
No other scenes so grand
No other hearts so true.
Your crystal waters flow
In streamlets to the sea,
And murmur as they go:
The nation must be free.
The dashing waves, that break
In foam upon the shore,
Fond memories ever wake
OF heroes bold of yore.
Calm lakes, like silver, shine
Between your mountains steep
And verdant scenes sublime
Are mirrored in their deep.
The round tower and the rath,
The walls of abbey hoary,
No need of other hath
To tell your noble story.
The green. clad hills l climbed,
When life knew no alloy;
The village bells that chimed
All spoke of peace and Joy.
From Antrim's mountains round
To Limerick's Treaty Stone,
Each spot of Irish ground
Has histories of its own.

That soil so often trod,
Well tell those ruins quaint
How they served king and God.
