to cultivate will remain unproductive and a waste.
 And what use is being made of all this as q political weapon by the Nenizelists? None at all They are against Constantine, but not against the war. The return of Constantine was the signal for new and tremen- dous effort to crush the Turks. The reason was simple. He desired great victories to consolidate him on the throne. He called out three more classes of reserves and drew on the treasury with the results sketched above. For these burdens the Veni- zelist might be expected to blame Constantine. might be expected to use every effort to have the fighting stopped. Added to the bitter party hatred. hatred accentuated by ev- cry glance al Venizelos' bullet riddled house and every thought of the pa triot in exile. one would expect Constantine's misfortunes in Asia Minor to be used as a political weapon.
 After the great defeat in March, venizelos left Paris for Italy. In spite of his denials it is common belief that the great Greek statesman Is prepared at any moment to return if Constantine is overthrown. His NoQlu llpt q form of government but another monarch subordinate and controlled by the Venizelos policy. Yet Con- stantine holds on, and Nenizelists whom you meet in the uniform of the king whom they despise, all tell you the same story. They are heart and soul against the King in Athens, but heart and soul behind his work in Asia Minor. And they explain it by saying There we fight not for the king. but for Greecel for Greecei"
 For Greece" It is d cry of ram- pant nationalism mistaking its own ends. Far better for the soldiers to return and build up the shattered olive business by modern methods and hard work. Far better for the efficient financiers to straighten out their tangles. Far better to save what arc left of the Georgian peas ants and set them tilling the soil. So would think the westerner. per haps impatiently. But the westerner undertakes the feeling of nationality that desires Greater Greece. that de- sires all that Greece once had. that exaggerated racial feeling which has not yet expended itself in the Bal kans. Not only has it not expended itself, but it keeps on growing, and any solution will have to take ac- count of that fact.

GREECE TODAY

completely cutting off Constant tino- pie from the north. Also. through the efforts of Nenizelos, she has been given a large slice of Asia Minor around smyrna. For the consolida- ton of gains which doubled her area financial and moral support were vouchsafed from England and France Then last December came the polit- ical change in Greece. Venizelos, of whom the allies were sure. was over thrown to permit the return of Con stantine, suspected oT pro German leanings throughout the war. The Turkish nationalists movement then showed unexpected recuperative pow CT. and in March inflicted crush ing defeat on the Greek armies in Asia Minor. Greece consequen ely finds herself up against a stiff war to retain her new territory in Asia Minor at the very time when allied support is withdrawn because of the defeat of Venizelos
 This is where the feeling of na tionality comes in After d century of aspirations for national aggrandize nient the Greeks are now determined to fight for the Greek empire, which for the first time seems within their grasp. It is this determination eo pursue d war IOI N1TeaIer tIreece Tn spite of it's ruinous effects on Little Greece, in spite of the discontent and suffering at home that strikes the westerner as incongruous
 Greece has been at war continuous ly since 1912. Men who were boys of 20 in that war are not nearing 30 without having done a stroke Of productive work. Tn the central re zion of the mainland that region famous for it's green valleys and fer tile olive groves the most prosper ous section of a Greece that is by no means all so fertile, the olives fall unpicked to rot upon the ground. The ceaseless drain of men by war has been responsible. From the lit tie villages go forth reluctantly the peasants. casting backward melan- choly eye upon the deserted farms
 A Financial Mystery
 Nor is the financing of the present war any less desperate than it's draft of men. No one appears to know just how it Is being done, and rumors fly of underground loans from a variety of European powers who might be interested in having the Greeks in the ill-settled part of Asia Minor that comes between Berlin and Bagdad. A more likely hypothesis offered in a a ehe American consulate was that the money Is simply bor- rowed from the national treasury without hope of repayment.
 The treasury is already unable to meet pressing domestic obligations. Thirty thousand Georgian peasants that Nenizelos had brought over to colonize an undeveloped portion of Northern Greece were absolutely | dropped by Constantine, who felt perhaps that he could not pay. They are starving with a death rate of | from 50 to 100 day and naturally the country which they had started

FAITH

I not filled with any gloom profound
 To know, some morning when the meadow lark
 Pipes his clear note across the greening pain I shall not hear that loved long waited sound Nor shall for the redwings fluting hark
 Or feel the kind, cool touches of the rain. To think, long days when skies heavenly blue, And the winds hum sweet, tremuous melodies,
 And little brooks laugh low and silvery, When from the grass mild violet eyes peer through And tulips life their furnished chalices-
 When spring is spring shall not hear and Though shall sleep yet good it is to know
 To myriad living souls the spring will
 With its divine, revivifying breath; That year year will crowdng blossoms blow More by the wayside than beside the tomb
 That beauty is older gift than death. And trust the Lord of life and spring. To guard the soul well guard the seed,
 1, who doubt the will pierce the And bring the sleeping bossoming; This is my faith, this is my simple creed
 I, who have the spring, believe in God

 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1S-A country which has been at war con tinuously for nine years, which has been industrially ruined by war and is heartily sick of war to the last peasant, and yet determined to go on fighting-that is the strange case of Greece today, according to Amer ican observers who have recently re- turned from there.
 Crops in the rich central valleys of Greece are rotting on the ground for lack of men to gather them. Indus try is in chaos. Boys are growing up into manhood without knowing any occupation except war, and each new generations, as it reaches military age, is drafted to fill the ranks. The finances of the country are in tan- gle which it will take a century to straighten out. And yet Greece fights on, not in self-defense, but in an effort to consolidate an empire.
 Greece, the observers say, is the purest survival of the spirit of na- tionalism, which formed the present European states out of chaos and is slowly giving way to the world spir- it, the sense of international soli- darity the feeling that all nations to- gether have a common responsibil- ity for the human race.
 Allied diplomacy nas played its part in the Greek situ ation. The al lies wanted a consolidated Greece. And doubtless strong groups within Greece have fomenred war because they expected commercial advantage both from it's continuance and from it's ultimate success. But. in addi- ton to these diplomatic and commer- cial ingredients which go into the
 iS cni n be sustained by a genuine popular faith in a great Greek empire. AL though there are undercurrents of popular opposition to the war, the typical Creek who has been starved and ruined by war, is still willing to go on fighting for his dream of greater Greece. He has not shared the great disillusionment which was brought to the western world.
 The Allied Policy
 To understand the part played by the allies in bringing about the pres ent situation in Greece one must glance back to the 18th century his tory. Since 1854 Great Britain and France fought with Turkey against Russia they have remained unit ted on one principle in the Balkan ques- tion Neither power would allow either Russia or Germany to get command of Constantinople and the Dardanelles because these places eX- ercise strategic command over the routes to Asia Minor, India and the Far East Russia and Germany now being disposed of, the allied states men feel the need of a stable Balkan country 10 prevent any new attempts at interference By the treaty of Sevres.
