Before the end of next October King
Constantine of Greece as the fourteenth
emperor of Byzantine, will enter Con-
stantinople at the head of his victorious
troops. This Is the latest Interpretation
given to the ancient Greek prophecy that
"a bold, blonde prince from the north
named Constantine" would restore the
glory of ancient Greece by capturing
Stamboul. The author of this prophecy
is Papa Johannes, known as the Pope of
Jaime the accuracy of whose prophecies
has brought him almost as much renown
as his piety and good works.
A month before the great war he is
declared to have predicted its outbreak,
and is said to have foreseen the death
of the late King Alexander by "a strange
accident" and came within three days
of predicting the time of the downfall
of Venzelos. Naturally the Greeks are
inclined to believe him.
1t is even said that King Constantine
in assuming a "Barkis is willin'" at
titude. is showing extreme eagerness to
take the field with his troops despite
the contrary wishes of his parliamentary
advisers. But Papa Johannes unkindly
spols the brew of hopefulness by add
ing: "A terrible event will take place
at the moment of Copstantincs triumph"
Which to-day caused one leading French
writer to suggest that anything was bet
ter than unsettled state of affairs In
the Near East.

GOMPERS BELITTLES
BOLTERS IN MEXICO
pea in a Drum He Says Of
Radicals Holding Rival
Convention.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. Samuel Com
OF American labor arrived in Mexico
City to-day to attend the Pan-American
Federation of Labor Conference. which
will begin tomorrow.
Aside from declaring that the purpose
of the present gathering was ITO create
good relations among the laborers OF the
United States, Mexico and South and
Central America" Mr.. Gompers had
little to say regarding the programme
to be followed, asserting that he did not
desire to anticipate the work Of the con-
ference.
Asked what concrete measures for pro-
noting better relations among laborers
are to be placed before the convention,
Mr. Gompers asserted that the resolu-
tions TO be presented at the early ses-
sions would speak for themselves. Eff
forts by certain radical elements which
broke away from the Pan-American
body TO hold a rival convention were
characterized by Mr.. Gompers as "a pea
in a drum" He said he attached no
significance TO their movement. as they
constituted but a handful of men.
The Pan-American conference will be
the third that has been held. The first
took place in Laredo, Texas. in Novem-
Der. 1913, and the second in New York
in July. 1919. Delegates from sixteen
South and Central American republics
and representatives from the United
States and Mexico will be in attendance
here. The American delegates. in addi-
ton to Mr.. Gompers, include Matthew
Woll, Thomas A. Rickert. Daniel j. To-
bin and John p. Frey. James Lord

FOR ARGENTINE POLICY
Republics President InUifed
Here by Wilson.

BUESos AIRES, Jan. 8 (delayed) -
President 1rigoyen was invited by Sec
retary Colby. IN President Wilson's
name. TO pay n visit TO the United
States during Mr. Colbys visit here,
says the Epocd, the Government organ,
which sees in the invitation great sig
nihcance in view OF the policy pursued
by Argentina during the war and her
recent withdrawal from the Geneva
meeting Of the League of Nations
Although President Irigoyen was un-
able to accept the invitation, says the
newspaper, Us extension shows "the re-
spect inspired at Washington by Ar
gentina's vigorous and original foreign
policy. IT signifies a spontaneous recog-
milton Of the high place which Argentina
has attained In the New World and the
necessity of seeking its collaboration in
the orientation of future Pan-Ameri rican
policies"
The Epocd also prints wireless ex-
changes between Secretary Colby and
President frigoyen, IN which the Presi-
dent said ''The messages from the great
American people and from your great
President which you have 40 lucidly ex-
pressed. and the coincidence in ali the
ideals which we have discussed. produce
In my mind a deep conviction OF most
effective harmony in the community OF

and to refute reports OF lack OF harmony,
The first protest was made Friday by
the French and British Ministers.
In French official circles II is said that
nothing as yet has transpired to indicate
whet ther the French and allied Ministers
will leave Athens. The French Govern
ment continues to mark time and await
developments. It was pointed out to-day
that inasmuch as nothing was done at
the moment that Constantine retprned to
Athens the time had passed for precip;-
tate action. It is expected that the
policy will be to await the results of the
efforts of the Greeks to maintain Con-
stantine on the throne without the finan-
cial aid of the Allies.
Officials here say that revision of the
treaty of Sevres is not necessary to
bring the Greeks to time-that the Allies
will merely have to decide on the method
OF the application of the treaty. The

The departure yesterday of Senator
Medill Mccormick for the United States
has let loose a food of speculation as
to the results for France and Europe
of his tour. upon which the most alb
surd emphasis has been placed by most
countries he visited. Possibly through
no fault of the Senator's. his trip has
been viewed by foreign eyes as II 1t

ten Governments having sent masters
of ceremonies to meet him at the sta

dent-elect Harding has confded any
mission to Senator Mccormick but be-
lieves the trip will exercise a salutary
influence on the latter ideas.
Having. Hike st. Thomas. poked his
fingers into our wounds" the Midi says,
this will help him to understand now
that America cannot disinterest herself
in the Old World, and also that she can
not overlook the factor that national
passions in Europe are as important
as any economic factor. II the United
States should remain obstinate in her
attitude Of refusing to ratify the treaties
for which she is responsible. such as
the Franco-American guaranty, where
upon Frances security partly depends.
the United States should know that she
will stand dishonored before the CIV
ilized world and all phrases of solidarity
between the two worlds won't avail TO
efface this impression nor diminish the
political consequences of this desertion. y
Americans here knowing the purely
personal motive in Senator Mccormick
trip are surprised at the Importance
given It, but say that this only serves
to emphasize Europe's desire TO estab-
lish working relations with the new Ad-
ministration.

the most powerful. has A maximum
range OF $4,000 miles. but experience
has shown. according TO the Ministry of
