VENIzELOS LIKENED
 ID CLEMENCEAU n
Premier of Greece Is Worthy Idol
 of COuntrymen

Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.-Not SO conspicuous at the peace conference while the treaty with Germany fo cused the worlds attention, but emerging into the limelight now that Balkan problems are in the fore front is Premier Venzelos of Greece.
 The career of this "Greek Clemen- Ceau.' reckoned among the foremost statesmen of Europe is described in a bulletin from the National Geo. graphic society, based on commun- ication from George Higgins Moses, as follows:
 ."Eleutherios Venizelos, is a Greek ofs the Creeks, with a long line of distinguished Hellenic ancestry. Edu cated at the University of Athens and in Switzerland, he established himself as an attorney in Crete, and was active in the revolution move ments which brought on the Greco Turkish war of 1897.
 E"Upon the establishment of the high commissioners regime in Crete, VSnizelos and Prince George were not in accord, and the princess with drawal from the island folowed-an incident which led the court party in Athens to regard Venizelos as an arch-revolutionary and to render his task the more difficult.
 "The Greek people, however, have never wavered in their support of him. He is their idol-and he jus tif1ed their idolatry. Summoned to the prime ministry much earlier than he had believed himself ready for Such power, and knowing full well that he owed his preferment in a large measure to the wishes of the old political leaders, who had con- ceived the notion of choking him to death with power he confounded his enemies. amazed his friends and jus tified all the fond hopes of the people, who regard him as the en- bodiment' of their future and who have never ceased to hail him as the savior of Hellenism.
 His ministry was forced to appeal to the electorate-once by his own wish to test Greek public opinion and once because the constitutional limit had run against his government. In each case he was swept back into of fee with majority of cumbersome proportions-and he has rightly counted himself as a man with d mandate to reorganize Greece.
 Under his guidance the constitu- tion has been revised, the chamber has been liberated and set in the way of constructive legislation, while the electorate has been given a wider privilege of choice of their represent tatives. The courts have been given tenure and removed from political control.
 The ministries have been reorgan- ized anc purged and the civR service has been set upon merit basis. Agri- culture and commerce have been taken under the charge of a new ministry. Municipalities have been granted new rights and charged with new duties; and a general quickening and efficiency have been infused into all branches of the administration"
