Hellenic Thrace

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The peace conference is confronted
by many great problems, the greatest of
them being the Thracian question, which is
the only important provision of the still
unsettled Bulgarian treaty
Thrace has been profoundly Hellenic
since the very dawn of history. by language,
feeling, sympathy, race and civilization,
and, as Lord Salisbury declared in 1878
during the conference Of Berlin, Thrace is
not less Hellenic than Thessaly and
Epirus.
The last Turkish census shows clearly
that the Greek population of Thrace is
seven times greater than the Bulgarian
population Of this country Before the
Balkan wars and during the election of
1912 the Bulgarians and the Greeks of
Thrace signed compromise by which one
bulgarian and seven Greek representatives
from Thrace were to be elected to the
Turkish Parliament, and thus the Bull
garians themselves admitted the over
whelmng numerical superiority OF the
Thracan Greeks.
The delegates of Great Britain, France
and Japan at the peace conference already
had recognized that the overwhelming
majority of the Thracian people is Greek
and expressed the opinion that according
to the principle of self-determination
Thrace must be united with Greece. Ii IS
really surprising that the delegates of the
United States, while recognizing the Hell
lenic character Of this country. insist that
Thrace must be awarded to Bulgaria.
The high ideals and principles Of hu-
manity, justice and self lf-determination, the
independence of the Thsacian people and
the safety of Greece are sacrificed in order
that Bulgaria, the enemy Of the Allied
powers, obtain an outlet to the 15eean
Sea at the expense of Greece, which did
all that was humanity possible to join the
Allies at the earliest possible moment.
Tie Bulgarans must have no access 10
the -Egean other than commercial access.
possibly at Dedeagatch or Porto-Lacos,
without any political rights The Greek
government IS willing to construct rail
way across the Thracian territory to enable
Bulgarian goods to reach the sea
The Thracians through long centuries Of
agony and despotism have been struggling
IN order to complete their national unity.
1t Is inconcevable that the great demo-
cratic powers Of the world, after the com
plete triumph achieved in the defence Of
the independence OF smaller nations and
the right of self-determination will refuse
the realization Of the Thracian national
aspirations, as they will thus undermine at
the very base the moral foundation OF a
league of nations

EDITOR Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The impending strike Of the subway

in France some few years before the recent
war broke out. At that time, the employees
Of one Of the most essential public utilities
in France threatened strike, unjust in its
nature, calamitous in its effects. But there
was strong government at the head So.-
diers by the thousands were taken into ser-
vice, trained efficiently, and the public service
was continued as before Not only this. bu.
lesson was taught that was not easily for
gotten.
The root cause of the evil situation is
this Capital is organized; so is labor; but
the middle, the consumer, is not II only
the example of the French government were
followed vt the present time the strike would
be speedily ended. And would further sug-
gest that there should be a systematic boycott

The Servant Debate
Introducing Among Others the Admirable Cricht ton
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
~ IR: The discussion in your paper on the
servant problem would be funny did it
not strike at the basis Of the artificial
comfort of so many people.
Permit me to speak from the point Of view
Of we'll trained English butler. Trained
to wash glass, silver and china, and trained
also to be polite.
Coming to this country about eight years
ago, I soon found myself between two fires
the one, my employer; the other my fellow
servants
My employer appreciated my ingrained
civilty and ability and showed it by
speaking to me as we do in England, i. e.
by saying, "Thank you" and "Please,' etc
This was soon noticed by the other servants
and commented upon, to this effect; that /
seeking favor with the employer,
whereas it was quite natural. I am free
to admit here that my employer invariably
spoke to the other servants in the usual
American way, which, of course, l think is
rough and abrupt, and I think the infu-
ence this abruptness has is bod. By being
polite it is not difficult to train others to be
polite. I use the word trained in the fore
part of this letter. 1t is the right one. I was
trained to be polite.
There is nothing that will oil the machinery.
Of a household more than this common re-
spect for one another.
| may add that my experience shows that
it is difficult for English servant to secure
place in England after having been to the
United States-the decision being that you
have been spoilt, l. e., no longer polite.
This is unconsciously absorbed from the way
the average employer speaks to the help on
this side.
From experience, i would say that your
household problem is aggravated by the in
discriminate. selection of the servants in one
household: to herd an Italian, a Dane, a
Norwegian, Swede, an Irishman, Pole
and try-on occasionally with a coored per-
son-within four walls aims for trouble and
bad service. Something similar has been my
experience and bad one.
Your correspondent "K. A. NJ" deliberate
ly ignores the fundamental i. e. supply and
demand. "An Old Housekeeper" is self-con-
demncd; in thirty-fve years she has aroused
a feeling of respect in tlco maids and those
two of nationahties generally admitted to be
low in mentality and upbringing Fe,

a Proud Record

The knights Of Columbus have reason
to feel proud of the figures carried
IN the report their officers have sub
mitted to the public.
During the year ended on June 80
the free distributions to soldiers. sailors
and marines were $7,000,000 in value
Each soldier abroad, in small but highly
prZed luXurles and comforts, had placed
IN his hands gratis goods to the value of
nearly $3.50 apiece. Not much per man.
but what difference it made to the
doUghboy Whenpay was slow in coming!
Abroad the Knights maintained 10
huts and clubs of substantial size. and
at home they operated 461 buildings and
thlrty-two tents. In all during the year
SlG,19J,O was spent, and this though
dipping but $2.112,000 into the s25.-
100000 which is the organizations quota
Of the United War Fund And these
vast sums were secured with collection

The Need of a Plan

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Please allow me to indorse ali that
is said by 'K. A NJ" in the letter in this

The question is certainly a most serious
one, and its solution warrants more attention
than is being given to it,
Homes are being given up and children
being brought up in hotels and apartments.
owing to the impossibility of paying the
wages asked by servants and the unwilling
ness of women of other classes to assist the
mother in her domestic duties
Can this matter not be made to interest
the men in our government, who have proved
their ability to cope with SO many of the
problems of our troubled times, but who are
leaving this very serious question to the

mercy of profiteering servants, to employ
ment agencies and distracted wives and
mothers?
1t seems to me that the opening, as soon
as possible, of our doors to the women of
other countries, and the training Of our own
women to act as "hone assistants" might be
of some help, but the question Is difficult
one and needs our best brains. W. ". T..
