reign of King John that petulant mon

of another running to ports to the

situated, giving the posSessor of the

The trouble over this region arose
originally from the fact that, in the

country was so vast that a few hun

ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER
VANE OF EMPIRES

Entry of Greek troops into Adriano-
pie is an event in secular history fairly
comparable 10 the investiture OF
Jerusalem by Allenby's army. for this
Turkish city has for nearly 1000 years
been a weathervane of world poll
tics.
The rebuilding of the ancient Thra-
clan town of Hadrian, who gave ii
his name, signalized high point in
the power of the Roman empire. The
decline of Rome was foreShadowed
some two centuries later when the
GOths defeated Valens there and made
their first break through the Roman
frontier.
Next AdranOple was the setting for
the Turks advent into Europe. There
Murad /. established himself, planned
the capture of ConstantinOple, and
sent out expeditions to subdue various
Christian peoples. For time the
European capital of the sultans, Adri-
anOple was relegated 10 be the chief
bulwark of COnstantincple. There
Turk first met Slav, and there the
Russians finally forced their way to
the Black sea by a treaty which also
loosened the Turkish hold on the
Caucasus and compelled recognition of
the independence of Greece.
Adrianople is on the MARTHA
Hebrus of Grecian legend, where Or
pheus was dismembered by the Thra-
clan women also celebrated, under its
later name, in Bulgarian song and
story. 1t IS 1877 miles by rail north
west of Constantinople.
Today the city wears its past glory
with sort of shabby gentility, with
no pretensiOn of prosperity but less
squalor than the usual Turkish city.
1t possesses the grave of the first
Murad, or Amurath, who was assassi-
mated in his tent after he had van
quished an army of Christian allies on
the field OF KoSsovo
4 mosque bearing the name OF Sui
tan Baiezid recalls that monarch,
whose first official act was TO order the
execution OF his brother. who was first
Ottoman ruler TO call himself sultan
and whose cOnquests finally were
checked when he was taken prisoner
by Tamerlane.
But the architectural masterpiece of
Adrianople Is the Selimieh, product
of a Greek tribute-boy's genius, and
relic OF the reign OF Selm ii, the Louis
Nv of Turkey.
Yearly the Turks would seize a GER
tain number OF sons of their Christian
subjects, and In Snan they found
they had acquired skilled bridge
builder. They allowed him TO follow
his bent, and the Shahzadeh at Con
stantinople. the Suleiman AT STEAMBOAT
and the third famed mosque ut Adri-
anople were given 10 posterlty. The
SelImi IN stands upon the highest hill
In Adrlanople and four lofty mlnarets

WARSAW: THE PARIS OF
POLAND

No other people, in all the worlds
history. has borne oppression so brave
~ and giOr .ously as the Poles, except
the Jews; and Warsaw, where the
Russians hod to keep a garrison of
100000 troops to overawe n city of
100000 people," is TO Poland what
Paris is to France
Indeed the vivacity, the gayety and
the quick wit of Warsaw's people are
q constant reminder of Paris; as well
as those deeper iikenesses which
spring from Warsaw's ascendancy in
the letters, the arts and the social
graces.
All this, too, in a city where the
most gruesOme tragedies have stalked.
AS recently rs the years of our own
Civil war the Russian army moved
down thousands of men and women
rs they knelt in the snow, singing their
national anthem. DeportatiOns are an
old story in Warsaw. every effort at
naturalization was followed by
slaughter. and hundreds marched the
long trail TO Siberian exile.
But Poland's spirit meanwhile, be-
came a synonym for the indomitable.
The success of the classification of Po-
land has been described as the process
Of keeping 100000 Poles pinned to
Russia by bayOnets. Politically nom
existent, for even Poland's name was
expunged from all official Russian rec
ords. the pre-war Warsaw We'd with

Though Warsaw betrayed none Of

cities, reminders of her by-gone glories
and tragedies were TO be found even
before the World war restored her au-
tOcracy.
