Note It's Economy

The Essex won its way through sheer
merit. What car has more champions?
Where can you find such performance,
of fine quality and good looks? Owners
tell you how their car outperforms larger,
costlier cars Some have driven their
Essex more than $4,000 miles without a
nickle for repairs.
The tire, gasoeno and oil economy is
unusual. In these respects the Essex is
like lightweight, low priced cars. But the
Essex also has the fine car durability and
the finish and looks of higher priced cars

Three Models to
Choose From

There are three models to choose from:
the passenger touring car, roadster
that has the sportiest lines and which is
so arranged that it makes an ideal business
vehicle with large carrying space under
the rear deck. Both are fitted with full
protection storm curtains. The third
model is the sedan, a tive-passenger closed
car, that is travelling sun parlor. 1t
gives full protection from all weathers in
winter and can be opened up to be more
comfortable in summer than an open
model. But you have seen these charming
cars. They are all about you, and you
have sheard all about them from their
owners.

England had yet declared war against
Turkey which still claimed Greece as
a Turkish province In spite of the con-

Some one somewhere remarked that

Those fragments of nations when

that they dwell side by side in n

which nothing melts, but which is in
constant state of ebullition.

become strong sentiment in Russia.
Pan-Slavism in Russia was answered

dreams.
Uprisings began; Serbia declared

powers interviewed and there were con-
ferences, protocols and armistices,
while the Turks put down the upris-

orders for his armies to cross the

TREATY OF ADRIAN0PLE, 1929.


The modern kingdom of Greece
came into being by Il treaty signed Mt
Adrianople in 1929 between Russia
and Turkey. by which the Grecian cap
tivity of $50 years was ended. Most
of this time Greece was subject to
Turkey-but not always. During the
latter Middle Ages the Venetians and
other foreign rulers temporarily estab-
lished their power there. In 1715 the
Turks drove out the Venetians, who
had established themselves on the Gre
clan peninsula % years before. and
ruled undisturbed until the beginning
of the Greek inSurrection in 1921. The
city of Athens rose and compelled
the Turks to take refuge in the Acrop-
oils; constitution was proclaimed on
the first day of the next year; Ali
Pasha, the Turkish general, was de-
feated and killed by the revolutionists :;
the Turks took the revolted Island of
Solo with horrible cruelties; the
Greeks captured Napoli di Romania
A large part of Greece fell into the
hands Of the revolutionlsts.
The war continued, with the Greeks
generally successful, until 1925. The
Imagination of Europe had been stirred
by the Idea of n revival OF nation
that was the ancient home of arts and
letters, and Byron had lent his money
and his name to the Grecian cause to
die at Missolonghi, in the Greek serv-
Ice. Russia was ready to interfere,
but the governments of the western ma
tons had no idea of making war for
sentimental reasons.
Western Powers Take Notice.
Early in 1925 Mehemit Ali, the great
viceroy Of Egypt, who had an eye on
the throne of Constantinople, put IT,
900 men into the Morea under his
adopted son Ibrahim. who captured
Navarlno and the Island of Sphagia,
which lies before it. Early the next
year 1brahim was Joined by Turkish
army under Reshid Pasha and
Missoloughi was taken after six
months Siege. All that part Of Greece

All the Balkan peoples, except the
Rulgarians, broke out into tempest

raell startled Europe by bringing In

fleet steamed into the sea of Mar

The concert of Europe demanded
that the treaty be submitted 10 n con-
gress of the powers. The coalition
of Europe against him scared the car
and he consented. The congress OF
Berlin, therefore. met June IL, 1878
