just what was the trouble. She
confessed it all and told me that
she loved him. This nearly broke
my heart, and when he came again
I told him, as best ! could. that

stay engaged to him and gave him
his ring.

The question Is that my mother
does not want me to marry him as
she feels 1t might make my dear

girl for the past nine years; she Is
now twenty-six. We would have

To condemn any girl to solitary

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Three years ago I went with .
dandy young man who was in every
way an ideal man. But at the same
time had very dear girl friend
with whom I grew up from baby
hood. We had never been parted
from each other for more than a
month, and living next door to each
other were of course the dearest Of
friends.
II happens that this young man
came to see me one evening when
she was at my house. She mad
been away when ! first met him,
and, although we had been going
together for about four months,
she had never seen him.
Soon after that she gave a BIRTH
day party and invited him. He
escorted me to the party and, al

ways, ] did not blame him for CIV

ture @ on good terms With the Al
has with the libanians a certain COM
munity Of race. Greece is also
anxious to see Albania a really free
and independent state. In the nego-
tiations Of 1919 with Serbia, prior to
the first Balkan war, Greece refused
to countenance the division Of AL
bania. If, as we hope, a free Albanian
state Is constituted, governed by men
who have the real Interests Of AL
bania at heart. they will have no bet
ter friend than the Greeks.
"Relative to the podecanese, the
problem Is almost the simplest one
discussed in Paris. The population
Is exclusively Greek. The Italians
hold them under the treaty Of Caus-
guarantee that Turkey may not
provoke trouble in Tripoli. As Italy
can hardly claim today that the gov
ernment Of the sultan will be able to
torment trouble In northern Africa,
she had not a shadow of reason for
keeping Rhodes and the neighboring
islands. It would be extremely un-
fortunate If the relations of Greece
and Italy were permanently embitter-
ed by questions of SO small Importance
either commercially or economically
to Italy, the Dodecanese being a very
poor country, inhabited only by 49,
than a third of the inhabitants Of
Washington. Italy and Greece have
been for many decades intimate
friends. A continuation Of this re-
lationship would be OF Unreasonable
political advantage to both, while

was the presence Of that second army
that brought Turkey to 4 request for
an armistice shortly after the young
Turks had declared that they would
continue the war notwithstanding the
capitulation Of Bulgaria. The Turkish
collapse lead to that Of Austria-Hun-
gary, which was a primary cause of
the ultimate defeat Of Germany:
CAS- far as the northern Epirus is
concerned. the American public might
easily see where the majority lies by
the instigation Of an official inquiry
among the many thousands of former
northern Epirots now in this country.
The public should understand that In
May. 1914. all the great powers, In
cluding Italy, signed with the Epirots
the treaty of Corfu. by which they
recognized that northern Epirus was
Epirot and not Albanian. In Septem-
Der of the same year a mandatory was
ern Epirus. So both the will of the
Inhabitants and the international agree
ments hitherto reached tend toward the
making OF this province part of the
Greek nation.
Northern Epirus has always been
considered part OF Greece. 1t is
interesting to see that all the maps
made in past centuries in Italy, as
well as the official documents OF the
Venetian republic, consider 1t as q
Greek land. On condition of occupa-
ton of Albania by international and
not by Italian troops, there Is no
doubt that the population would vote
for Greece.

Eastern Victory Due to Greeks.
Another question about which very
little has been said in this country
is the leading share which the Greeks
took In the campaign in the near east.
1t is recognized on all hands in Europe
that the speedy end of the war was
largely due to the breakdown of Bull
garia and Turkey. In this connection
let me say this: The generalissimo OF
the allied armies in the east Gen.
F'ranchet d'Esperey, has in public let
ters addressed to Mr.. Nenizelos pro-
claimed that his victory was due to
the Greeks, who were forming half OF
his army. Out of the 100000 men who
took part in the Macedonian cam
paign Of September. 1918. 225,OOO were
Greeks There was in addition another
Greek army Of 10000 men in reserve,

and they win recognize there II no other
country more fit than the United States
to render peace and prosperity to lands
which have suffered so much. may
add that even outside of the western
coast which we claim there are in Asia
Minor nearly million Greeks who
would be most happy to help in any
way an American administration.
Bear in mind also that in the part of
Asia Minor which is going to be at
tributed to Greece. there will always
be excellent openings for American
capital and American business"

Greek trade may be an extremely val

Of the Dodecanese and Epfrus from a
moral point Of view to Greece, the
two main items Of Greek aspiration
are Thrace and western Asia Minor.
