PARIS, Jan. 15.-Jean Jourdan, who
robbed jewelry store III the Rue Iron
Chef the other day. has now been
shown to be the son OF Emile Jourdan,
one of the pioneers in French aviation.
jeans arrest is the latest in a series
of calamities which have bcfallen the
Jourdan family. Emile Jourdan was
the inventor of flying machine that
looked much like a giant barrel and
who is now under arrest for the Rue
Tronchet robbery, took up the helico-
plane for the first time in 1911. He
rose 1900 feet in it, and was at that
time Frances youngest aviator. Great
hopes were enterta med for his future
Shortly after the helicoplane's first
fight Emile was attacked one night by
drunken man, who plunged knife in
his stomach. Jourdan died of the
wound. Afterward. Mrs. Jourdan also
died, leaving three orphans, Emile,
nineteen years old; Jean, sixteen, and
Jeanne, thirteen. The eldest son,
Emile, soon met death in flying acct
dent

had planned the robbery. He selected

Armed with large hammer, he car

There is always surplus of these peo-

denial Of the Serbian report that he
had accepted an annuity of 100000 in
exchange for his abdication. The king
is still asserting his right to govern
the people who love him
1t was reported recently from Italy
by way Of Paris that in the negotia-
ton OF the Spalato treaty between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia, the Italians in
duced the Jugo-Slavs to sign by letting
them have Montenegro. This project
was reported to have caused a violent
scene in the Italian royal family, as
Queen Helene opposed abandoning her
father. King Nicholas, and his claims
to the Montenegrin throne.
King Victor Emmanuel, who was said
to be on very bad terms with Gioltti,
did not dare to interfere in the nego-
tiations for fear of overstepping his
constitutional rights, but to reimburse
his fatherin~ law for the handing of
Montenegro over to the Jugo-S lavs it
was reported that the king obtained ali
offer OF an annuity Of 100000 francs
to King Nicholas TO reimburse him fol.
his loss. 1t was said that Nicholas
had not yet decided to accept the offer.

the profiteers are not satisfied with
Venizelos's policy because, from a
business point OF view, If Smyrna and
the islands are added to Greece they
may increase in Importance and leave
the Greek towns on-y such commerce
as they cannot handle.
This commercial jealousy il not a
modern tendency, as from earliest
times 1t has amounted almost to hos
tlllty. Even ten years ago. wher Crete
was added, the merchants OF the
Pir@us fought against its annexation.
Now that Smyrna is Greek, the old
rivalry will be bitterer than ever.
Rivalry More Bitter
During the war Smyrna agents, who
were banished from their own town,
started business in the Greek seaport
towns and introduced their more up-to
date system OF commerce by importing
ioodstuffs from America, whereas Greek
merchants had always purchased a linn
tied number of products from Italian
or Dalmatian markets. Needless to say
the Smyrna business men made a great
deal of money. This competition caused
great Jealousy between the different
factions. who naturally blamed the
Prime Minister for lis pan Hellenic
policy.
Besides the poor and the rich Veni-
zelos had the orthodox clergy against
him. The clergy did not hesitate to
say that King Alexander met his sud-
den death because he had usurped his
fathers crown. The police could not
lnter1ere IN any way against the clergy
when they praised Constantine and
Sophia. The government considered the
clergy in an Indifferent manner and
the clergy on their part felt that the
Aoyaists, who We're religious, repre-
scented far more ideal government
than one which was interested only in
conquest and under the thumb of
France and England
Nenizelos Likely to Return
After the attempt against Venizelos's
life in Paris keen search was made for
all the Royalists who had plotted
against him. 1t was for this reason
the prisons were full of political pris-
oners who had ali sworn to do away
with the Prime Minister. The head
of q government could not allow them
to go scot free though personally he
was indifferent to the plot. To friends
he has always insisted that his death
would not take place until he had &C
complished his mission
Like the great politician Alcibiades,
Nenizelos fed from Greece; but no
doubt, like his historical predecessor,
he will one day return to lead the
Greek people and be acclaimed as THEN

sidering the other figures it must be
remembered that everything is from
$50 per cent to 200 per cent higher
than formerly. Thus if 5000 is allotted
for pocket money in both 1914 ard
1920 it means actually almost halving
the buying power Of the amount. The
family holiday at $3.50 represents ORC
week as contrasted with two weeks III
1914. An increase of only $I25 for
clothing means that half the number

there has not been as much food. and
nothing has been saved toward old age.
Group Consciousness Lacking
There is no group consciousness
among the middle class. Thinking ma
tionally. they realize the broad eco
nomic causes of the situation and the
impracticability of attempting to force
better conditions.
One organization, THE Middie-Class
Union" has attempted TO group these
people together, but group conscious
ness is not there. The organization has
supplied men to keep the trains NOV
ing during railroad strikes and has
pushed governmental legislation to-
ward the lettering of local conditions.
hut it has not the unified support Of
the middle class. This is also true Of
"The Black Coat Workers. another
middle-ciass organization. The middle
class will solve its problem in its own
way. by personal economy and sacrifice.
Yet that economy and sacrifice is in
itself a menace TO the nation. 1t means
that education viii suffer. that initsa-
tive will be lacking, that the arts viii
not be patronized. It means that the
children Of these people will not have
the same mental and physical standard
as their parents, that the nstional
morale will be lowered.
Crowded close to the wall. the mid
die class is making a silent, painful
struggle for life.
