Discipline, he said, was very good

Is DR.. Vartan K. Osigian, son Of a
long line of silk manufacturers, and
he has an extensive silkworm farm
near New Orleans.
Osigian has discovered that upon

Premier VeniZelOS' Defeat.

The defeat of Premier Venice
los, in the elections in Greece,
marks the fourth of the great
world leaders during the war to
be repudiated by his home peo-
pie.
The first was Premier Orlando,
of Italy, whose ministry fell, a
victim of the niscontent and mis-
cry which affected his subjects.
The Clemenceau ministry was
always able to subdue the oppo-
sition that several times threat
ened its existence but the hardy
old Premier was decisively beat
en- in his recent race for the
Presidency of France.
President Wilson, who guided
America through the war, and
was its spokesman at the Peace
Conference, was repudiated by
his countrymen both in the elec-
tions of 1913 and 1920.
And now comes Venizelos,
generally regarded as one of the
ablest minds at Versailles, who
meets the same fate at the hands
of the people he has been serv-
ing.
Surely there was none who
did so much for Italy as Orlando;
who had a greater part in
frances victory than Clemen-
ceau; who lent character and
weight to Greece's aspirations
more than Venizelos; who could
have led America better than
Wilson, and yet each of them at
the close of a great struggle, to
which every impulse of their
heart and mind was dedicated is
cast out by an unmindful people.
