New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-08-16

Every American who understands
the great part already played in the
world by Premier Venizelos Of
Greece cannot but be profoundly
grateful that he is reported as al
ready beginning to recover from
wounds inflicted by a would-be as
sassin. It is to be hoped that before
many weeks elapse he will be COM
pletely recovered, again directing
Grecian affairs, which, under his
guidance, have been of large benefit
in areas where tension still is at
high pitch, where international diff
ferences by no means have been
wholly smoothed out.
AS compared with it's present in
f1uence in world affairs Greece occu-
pied minor position when Venizelos
first came into power. He had faith
in his country, in his people, in their
loyalty to principles of honor, their
valiant spirit, their ability to do and
dare in the face Of untoward circum-
stances. Himself loyal and fearless,
he seems to have known instinctively
whom to trust, whom to distrust.
Craftsmanship Of high and lofty or
der has marked his course of action.
Industry, unceasing care, undeviat-
ing adherence to agreements with
allies, could not fail Of having req
suits now appreciated to the full.
No longer may Greece be described
as "friendless." To-day she COM
mands the friendship of the greatest
and most enlightened powers in the
world. Under Venizelos the popula-
ton and the areas of Greece have
increased almost fourfold.
Because so many of Grecian birth
or ancestry constitute valued ele-
ment of our own population, Amer
leans feel that they have a special
and particular reason for rejoicing
in Venizelos's escape from death.
That he may live long and continue
his work is the earnest wish of every
right-thinking man and woman.

Whose ault Is 1t?
To the Editor of The Tribune

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On the 18th of August re-
ceived from the Washington headouar-
ters of the American Red Cross a let
ter stating that case pending for one
year probably would not be settled for
at least six months more, on account
of the confusion existing in the dis
charge enlisted mems pay branch.
This condition, they state, is due to
loss of personnel owing to lack of ap-
preparations. AS this is the DEPART
ment through which most of the bows
claims are settled, it seems as if
the press of the country should take
up this matter and find out who is to
blame. 1t. is just such delays that
furnish the boys with an excuse for
a perpetual crouch" against the gov
eminent. Also it means continued work
for the home service section of the
Red Cross for some time to come.
