Greece in War
A Defense of Venizelos
and His Policy
TIME issues involved in Greece's

THE issues involved in Greece's
course during the war are still
being debated with considerable
vehemence. Paxton Hibben recently
published book which represented
King Constantine as genuine Greek
patriot and Premier Venizelos as an
INSCRIPTIONS adventurer.
A very different story is told by
Vincent j. Seligman in The Victor,
OF Venizelos, which is published by
George Allen & Unwin. London. The
author asserts that King Constantine
was not pro-Greek, but pro-German,
and that Venizelos was at once a loyal
friend Of the Entente and a faithful
servant of the Greek people. He re-
views the salient incidents of the period
of Greek neutrality, contending that
Constantine's conduct was highly un-
constitutional in many respects, that
the Greco-Serbian treaty was treach-
erously repudiated, and that tho ma
jority of the Greek people were always
sympathetic with the Entente.
Mr.. Seligman's book is rather short,
but it sets forth quite effectively the
most important accusations brought
against Constantine and his advisers
by the Allies sand the venizelists.

An Internal Plot
Fictional Crime Suggests
Elwell Case

THE mysterious murder which takes
- place at the beginning of "The
Hand in the Dark" by Arthur J. Rees
(Lane), almost inevitably suggests the
Elwell case. A woman is found shot
through the heart There is no trace
of the weapon or the murderer. OBJ
vious motives for the crime are lack
ing. The detectives are forced TO work
their way through bewildering series
of contradictory and misleading clues.
However, as Mr.. Rees is dealing in
terms of fiction and not of actual life,
all the mysteries surrounding the case
are ultimately cleared up. The crime
is revealed as the product of a dia-
bolical plot, devised by a man who
was eager not only to kill the woman,
but also to bring the suspicion Of
guilt upon an innocent man. To dis
cuss the book further would spoil the
pleasure which the reader may antici-
pate from Mr.. Rees' ingenious and
fascinating narrative. 1t may be said,
however, that "The Hand in the Dark"
is at once one of the most credible
and one of the most exciting mystery
tales Of the year. ,..,..,.

we should be were we thrown back
three centuries, bereft of our modern
machinery for living and doing and
forced to battle for food and shelter
with our naked hands.
William Brewster was born at Scroo-
by and William Bradford at Auster-
field, England, less than two miles
away. In 1854 Queen Elizabeth sent
William Dawson to the Dutch Re-
public as her ambassador and the boy
Brewster went with him as a page. So.
when about seventeen years old, the
future leader of the Mayfower company
came into close contact with freedom
of the press and of speech in religious
matters. In the England of his youth
no books could be printed without &C.
clesiastical permission. Brewster was
to live to establish the Pilgrim Press
in defiance of King James and to carry
his Dutch derived ideas on education
across the Atlantic. 1t would be in
teresting, following Griffiss lead, to
make gucsses as to the life of Brewster
at court and his possibility of meeting
Shakespeare. But Bradford is at our
elbow.
The Typical Pilgrim
In this book William Bradford is
called "boy hero and typical Pilgrim"
Perhaps we can achieve composite
portrait of the boy become man by
quoting Griffis:
"lf William Brewster be thought the
typical Pilgrim, layman, church officer.
man of the world and leader of the first
flight beyond sea of the Separatists,
William Bradford stands out as the
practical, all-around business man, in
the second and transatlantic voyage.
Like that Of our Washington, his was "a
we'll balanced organization.' To strive
for perfection in mans threefold ma
ture, body, soul and spirit, according
to his Masters command and Pauls
prayer and ideal, was Bradford's life
endeavor."
This book, Young Peoples History
of the Pilgrims, is far more than a
series of minute biographies. In
way, its title fails to do it justice.
Not penned in the silly one-syllable
manner of our grandfathssss. it is
strictly accurate and fascinating his
tory of the Pilgrim adventure, under
standable by boys and girls and, as
one grownup readily asserts, one of
the best present comprehensive rec
ords of the whole Pilgrim phase of
American history in it's inception. Its
chief value lies in its condensed but
quite exhaustive presentation of the
influence of Holland in the molding
OF the Pilgrim types of men and
women.

Brewster and Bradford.

r is natural to wish to know some
thing definite of the lives of
Brewster and Bradford. the men
who complete the trinity Of Pilgrim
leaders. In two chapters of his recent
ly published Young Peoples History
OF the Pilgrims (Houghton- Mifflin Com
pany), William Elliott Griffis goes back
to the boyhood days of the two and.
with an ease that reveals sympathetic
understanding, sketches the English
country life in which the two bows were
nurtured.
Existence then was an affair of sim
pie things, of small homes, usually
of two rooms; Of rush lights, Of straw
and reeds on floors and blocks of wood
for pillows at night. Life, as a whole.
was modelled along the lines that to
US of to-day would appear primitive.
With such a training of years the
Pilgrims were far better equipped to

AS might be expected, this book
travels along with the reader as pleas
antly and as instructiyely as do Miss
Crawford's previous writings of sim
liar nature
The Pilgrims had to set busy at
once, in December, 1920 They were
on an iron soil beneath a steely sky
and they knew it. Within four DAYS
after the landing they were Telling
timber and preparing to build their
first homes. "No man rested" Land
was allotted and the nucleus of small
village began to appear. Isaak de
Raseres, who came from Manhattan
New York; in 1927 to visit Plymouth,
gives this descriptions
"Ncw Plymouth lies on the slope of
a hill, stretching east toward the sea-
coast, with a broad street about a
cannon shot Of eight hundred feet long
leading down the hill, with crossing
in the middle, northward to the riyulct
and southwark to the land. The
houses are constructed of hewn planks,
with gardens also enclosed behind and
at the sides with hewn planks."
This "broad street" was the famous
Leyden Street of history.
Came to Create a State
The development Of the settlement,
with the attendant growth Of outlying
villages, is a study in itself. With this
territorial expansion, small at first, but
always sturdy, as carried on by men
with their feet on the ground, deep
ened the Pilgrim sense of permanent
habitation in America, the creation of
a state. Misss Crawford points out
that the signing of the compact be-
fore the landing gave evidence that
these men felt they were "to achieve
independence not only in ecclesiastica
affairs, but also in temporal matters"
" courseyNthe constant nearness of
the Indians cofored their mode of life
and injected certain necessary clauses
into their code of laws. At the out
set the treatment of the Indians was
wholly along the lines of humanity.
Bradford, afar in Holland, mourned
when he heard that an Indian had
been killed, even thoughs the death
could not be avoided.
But with the creeping together of
the two Pilgrim and Puritan colonies,
near the middle of the seventeenth
century, there resulted somewhat
modified attitude toward the red man.
The Puritan, stern and rigid in his
treatment of the Indian, caused re-
sentiment, hostility and, eventually.
open and desperate war. The Pilgrim
was forced to take up his musket and
march against the villages of the
Pequots.
