that It will withdraw Its material and
moral support, but 1t Is not known
certainly what attitude Lloyd George
will assume. The Greek newspapers
favorable to Constantine assert that
Great Britain Is willing to recognize
the right Of Greece to manage her
own affairs and that King George Is

turn to the throne.
OF course, Rhallis and his confreres
are most worried over the possible ef-
feet Of the restoration on Greece's
adventure In Asia Minor. They can
hardly hope to maintain their army
there against the Turkish nationalists
and the Arabs without the active CO.
operation Of the entente allies, and,
too, they rely on the British to sup
ply the money needed for the occupa-
tion. 1t Is said by them that Venlz-
ellsts left the treasury empty, de-
stroyed quantities of documents and
left Athens without informing their
successors Of the state of business In
the various departments.
Queen Mother Olga, the regent,
staged triumphal return last week
for two of Constantine's brothers,
Prince Andreas and Prince Christie

astic crowds and escorted to the pal
ace. The same day the foreign news
paper correspondents made formal
complaint that the press censorship
was being continued and that their
dispatches were suppressed or de-
layed. Rhallls and Gounarls made ex-
plantations and promised all restric.
tlons should be removed.
Paris had press dispatches from
Smyrna saying the Greek army in
Asia Minor was split into two camps.

TIE CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

There Is a tendency for the popu-
lar holidays to lose their original
meaning. Vet always you find an
inspiring thought there. II you look
below the surhce.
The Christmas gift custom has
many absurditics. Too often u be-
comes a mere swap between people
who feel no strong desire TO make
the offering Of friendship.
And yet this gifi habit Is a Won
dcrful custom Il is a very remark
able thing. that al this time each
year, practically all the people drop
for a moment the incesflnt hustle
for their own advantage and bcgin
thinking what they can do for some
one else. The fact that they give
80 freely and generously. often TO a
considerable portion Of their yearly
income, indicates that human ma
ture has In Il wonderful capacity
for unselfish action. IL Il can be de-
veloped.
SO the Christmas gift custom
ought not 10 be abolished Il would
be better, though. II people would
give fewer presents 10 comfortable
friends who need no such remem-
brances and make many more 10
those who are in real need.
The persistence OF this custom
through 20Oo years Of changing hab-
Us and social and national upheav-
ais Is one more proof OF the ire
mcndous forces set 10 work in the
world by the advent Of Jesus. Who
would have thought. that day when
the tiny infant was found In that
humble manger. that 2co0 years
later all the peoples OF the civilized
world would have been 80 uncon-
sciously influenced by the ideas he
came 10 imparL that they would be-
sin 10 initiate him even in this small
WAY. by the making Of unselfsh
gifts 10 others?
Now II all the folks who have OBJ
served this beautiful custom can
carry out this giving habit all the
year. the kind Of world that Jesus
came TO earth 10 introduce would
come much nearer TO rs realization

A GRATEFUL CHILD.

Little sammy was generally at log

foreign countries were awaiting with
interest the launching OF the most
powerful fighting craft ever con-
siructcd. Technical experts were

drive which had proven 40 success

function just as we'll on a larger and

The New Mexico has two turbine
driven generating units and four
propellng motors, one generator be-
ing capable OF driving the ship at a
speed OF ~ knoh in an emergency.
The electric drive has been given lis

successful. II should give much
pride 10 the citizens Of New Mexico
10 know. that the first electrically
driven hatllcship was named after
their commonwealth. II Is inter-
