Uncertainty Greek
Army Morale Delays
Big Drive on Turks

Constantinople, June 19.-(By the
Associated Press) 1.-The delay in the
predicted Greek offensive against the
Turkish Nationalists is believed in
many neutral quarters here to be due
to the uncertainty of the morale of the
Greek troops, coupled with what is
reported to be the fairly good condi-
ton of the Turkish forces. This also
is one of the reasons why the British
are not definitely backing up the
Greeks.
The reception of King Constantine
al smyrna, it is pointed out, was not
Il triumph, while reports reaching here
indicate he has failed to win over the
Venizelos troops in the Greek army,
notably the Cretans who under the
Venizelos regime were the backbone
of the Greek military establishment.
Quarrels have occurred for several
months past among the Greeks in va
rious portions of the army and the
entire draft of the senior officers at the
front has been replaced by adherents
or the Constantine party. irrespective
OF their merits as officers.
Many allied observers mfstrust the
Greek morale under such conditions
and also believe the Turks have a bet
ter general staff, with Ismet Pasha the
superior in strategy of General Douis-
manis, the Greek chief of staff, both
of whom are German trained.
1t is explained that the reasons the
Greeks have bombarded Ineboli and
other ports is that they were attempt
ing to destroy important arrivals of
Bofshevik artillery for &C Turks.

in part:
1t ill-becomes us to sneer at the
new Americans. The fact that our
ancestors came over in the May
flower should not give us a feeling OF
superiority over the new American
who has just reached these shores
via the steerage of the Mauretania.
The latter is undoubtedly more sani-
tary than the stuffy hold of the May
flower ever was and while these new
corners may need disinfecting and
delousing, the companions of Elder
Brewster never heard of either. 1t

America needs ideals more than it

be translated into reality. Ideals
that end in rhetoric are worthless.
Talk is cheap. Beautiful phrases
that stir only the emotions are
cheaper. Notes in time of war and
baccalaureate sermons in time of

they result in action.

First Open Meet
Today League of
Nations Council

Geneva, June 10,-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-The council of the
League of Nations will hold it's first
open session tomorrow, and con-
troversial questions will be debated
by the principal parties. Hjalmar
Branting Swedish Socialist leader,
and former minister of finance. will
present Sweden's claims to the Aland
Islands and c. ]. A. Enckeil. the Fin
nish minister in Paris and former
foreign minister will reply in behalf
Of Finland.
The public sessions previously held
have been only for the purpose of
announcing decisions already taken
on questions discussed privately but
it was decided after a long debate to
make the experiment of open meet
ings for actual discussions.
The council has decided that moth
ing can be done further regarding
the manufacture of ten thousand
rifle barrels for Mexico by the Dan
zig Arms Factory. The council,
however, will see to it that the
promised Transformation of the arms
plant into bicycle factory or some
other industry of peace will be really
put into effect. General Sir Richard
Haking, high commissioner under
the League at Danzig, has issued
strict orders that no more orders for
arms shall be accepted by the Dan
zig factory.
This factory received permission
to complete an order which had
been received from one of the ter
ritories detached from Germany, but
the Mexican order was never men
toned. 1t was received a few weeks
before the free city came under the
supervision of the League.
The council has disposed of all
questions regarding Danzig on the
agenda, has approved the budget of
l922 and also approved the consulta-
tive transit commission appointed by
the Barcelona conference.
The most important remaining
questions are the Polish-Lithuanian
dispute; the Albanian complaints
against Greece and Jugo-Slavia: the
Aland Islands controversy between
Sweden and Finland and action on
the report of the commission on
amendments. 1t is hoped to dispose
OF the agenda before the end of the
week.
