MODERN TATOI AND
ANCIENT ATHENS

Constantine, whose return TO the
throne of Greece was discussed after
the death Of Alexander, had famous
summer palace at Tatoi, before his alb
dication. There he spent much time
during the final uneasy months of his
reign.
Tatoi Is 16 miles north of Athens by
way of Kophisia. In strong contrast
to the harsh and stormy political stu
alton which encompassed the members
of the royal family following the out
break Of the World war, their physical
environment was wholly delightful, for
Tatoi Is one of the most beautiful
spots Of Attica, nesting almost at the
foot Of the Parnes mountains. In the
distance towers the famous Penteli-
kon, from whose summit one may OBJ
tain the finest view to be had from
any of the Attic hills.
Historically, Tatoi Is noteworthy for
being freighted with unhappy associa-
tons. In its vicinity stand the ruins
of an old fort, known as the Kastro,
which marks the center of the deme
township of Decelea.
line north of Athens, that the traitor
Alcibiades, he of whom Aristophanes
wrote that "they (the Athenian sol
diers) love, they hate, but cannot live
without him." counseled the Spartans
to construct strong Notifications in or
der to intercept the caravans of grain
from Euboea, which supplied the cap
ital with food. Alcibiades, by his be-
trayal of the Athenian navy which had
invested Syracuse in Sicily, had al
ready fulfilled the prophecy of the
misanthrope Timon who had said upon
one of the many occasions when the
young Athenian's rash proposals had
been indorsed by the populace, go on,
my brave boy, and prosper; for your
prosperity will bring on the ruin Of all
this crowd" His advice to seize and
fortify Decelea in 413 B. c. brought
irretrievable ruin on his native city
and resulted In an inestimable loss to
the human race, for it crushed Athens.
BY one of the strange whims of "the
crowd" the Athenian army in its dark
est hour sent a message to Alcibiades
inviting him to desert the Spartans in
to whose power he had betrayed his
own people. And by an equally strange
within Alcibiades accepted the invita-
ton, rushing to Samos to assume
command of his old associates. But il
was too late. Athens was doomed.
Lysander, commanding the Spartan
navy administered a crushing defeat
to Athenian sea power at AegospOtami,
on the Hellespont. Three thousand Of
the defeated Athenians were massa-
cred, and Xenophon, the historian,
with tragic simplicity relates that
when the news reached the capital,
THAT night no man slept"
Tatoi is reached today by railway
journey of eight and half miles to
Kephisia, and a carriage drive Of
seven and q half miles from that point.
The new summer palace was built for
the king and the old palace was de-
signed as the residence Of the crown
prince. A beautiful park and ven
cradle oak grove surround the royal
homes. A short distance to the north
is the barracks of the rural police,
known as the Carbohydrates.

Rail Wage
Conference
Is Failure

Washington. Apr. 2.-The whole

before President Wilson today for the
third time since railroad labor tiled r,s
demands for a general increase In
wages last summer.
In a letter to the president, B. NJ.

regretted very much Ito advise of our

keenly disappointed at the position
taken by the railway committee which
announced last night a deadlock and

ed in the transportation act and on
which the public will have representa-

Attached to Mr.. Jewell's letter was

tude of the men and the executive COM
mittee. EFT. Whittier, for the railway
executives, wrote that the executives
did not believe congress contemplated
a sttlement involving so great an addi-
ton to transportation costs without the
public being represented in the con-
.ferences. Asa

the managers for terminating the me-
gotiations was mot in accord with ous
understanding of the law"
Attitude "Surprise."
THE attitude of your committee in
failing to carry out the wishes of the
president of the United States came as
a surprise to us, Mr. Jewell wrote to
Mr.. Whittier.
I'VE understand Prom this that your
committee has definitely declined to
assume the responsibility and perform
the duty which is so clearly desired in
the public interest and which the trans
portation act, as we understand 1t, con-
templates: that of agl ceing in confer
ence upon rates of pay for railroad EN-
ployes which are Just and reasonable"
Union officials reiterated that, at
the request of the president, they
were 'going along to give the trans
portation act a fair trial." although
they did not indorse any of its provis-
ions. They took the position that with
the breaking up of the joint confer
ence, the whole matter was made more
difficult since the union membership
was becoming restive.
