are convinced that he is to head, by

The subject Of the league and the
growing conviction among its advo-

country that its acceptance by the
United States would have averted the
disasters now lowering over Europe
were widely discussed here. At the
same time authorities have been in

Furthermore, the Harding admins.

European troubles are overshadowing
all other immediate concerns, and as
it was pointed out by senators and
representatives the public has not
lost sight of the fact that these very
concerns were provided for in the
league and might well have been es-
capped had America not embarked on

GREECE TUMBLES
TOWARD CHASM
FIRST UNcENsoRED STORY TELL
OF NATIONS PL L.GHT.
SURROUNDED BY HER FOES
Nation Left Without a Single Strong
Statesman, Since venizeIos Re-
fuses to Return--Revolu-
tionists at tie Helm.

ADMINISTRATION of Greece looms
today as the ultimate possible out.
come of the Near East chaos. Behind
the veil of press censorship, which
prevents foreign correspondents from
cabling full, impartial analysis OF
the situation, and leaves long columns
of censored white paper in the local
press, the Greek revolutionary gov.
ernment is struggling to guide the ma
tion's destiny through a morass of &c.
onomic. chaos, internal unrest and for.
eign hostilities. which, as the after
math of the disastrous Asia Minor
war now threatens the very existence
of the Greek people as national en-,
tity.
They may succeed in the hoped-for
yet now apparently improbable finan-
cial aid is forthcoming from the pow
ers. But with the Lausanne confer
ence fruitless and the powers dead
locked In political impasse, Greece
is today an unstable factor, which
still threatens to project the near east
into war
without both financial aid and
skillful leadership Greece cannot hope
to stave off ultimate collapse. Many
observers believe such a collapse
would turn loose all the seething ma.
tional aspirations Of the Balkans and
the near cas-, for partition Of
Greece thar would involve the entire
southeast Europe, possibly dragging
in the western powers in spite OF
their economical and political inter
ests.
When the Greek revolutionists GUST
ed King Constantine they obtained
control of country which had al
ready been thoroughly ruined by the
failure of former monarch's dreams.
Greece's Golfers were empty. 1t was
friendless Itself barren OF resources,
it was burdened with 100000 refu.
gees.
Greece today is left without sim
gle strong statesman outside of M.
Venizelos and NJ. Ziamis. NM veni-
zelos and Ziamis have announced that
they don't intend to take an. active
leadership of the country.
Greece's destiny is now in the
hands OF the revolutionary group The
Greek leadership today lays in the
hands of Col. Plastiras, who remains
behind the scenes and pulls the
strings of the revolutionary party.
This. tottering nation--friendless in
Western Europe-is surrounded by a
horde OF enemy neighbors. who have
covetous eyes on various strips OF
Greek SOIL Turkey is the most po-
tential force.
Added to the hopeless confusion Of
this situation rs the problem of 1,000,-
600 refugees, which have been thrust
on the nation, which itself totals only
100000 people; and under these cir
cumstances world money markets are
hands off, so far as financial require
ments are concerned.

ISLAM AGAIN
 RIDING HIGH
Russian Control in Caucasus Is Said to Be in
 Name Only.

1 EAKU, Aztrbaijan, Soviet Repdo- lie. Feb. 21.-The success of Turk ish arms against the Greeks is stir ring the Mussulman world, and may in time have far-reaching effect on Russian influence throughout the Caucasus, Turkestan and Persia
 There is a tendency on the part ot Moscow, tired of settling intermin- able disputes, to let these various outlying republics, sovietized V, force of circumstances and Red army greed, to go their own way, tempor- arily, and certainly the republics have not been slow to reassert their cid local power.
 Imperial Russia formerly had sort of blanket rule, each a vice royalty, functioning in the Cau- casus, consisting of seven provinces and five territores, for region pop ulated by 12,O00.0OO persons. three times the size of New England, and thrca-fourths as large at Texas.
 Islam in Saddle.
 Moscow has lately proposed to re- viye this old central form of gov ernment, in order to eradicate the boundary, commercial, and customs disputes among the republics Of Aberbaijan, Georgia, Daghestan and Armenia, including lively sideline disputes with Turkey and Persia.
 Islam is certainly once more in the saddle at Baku Even the coach men refuse to speak the Russian language. Enyer Pasha, former Turkish war minister, who was sem tenced to death by Turkish court martial for plunging that country into the World War, was here lately, apparently trying to show that due respect to Moscow should be con- tinued. His plan of campaign was to hold on for while longer with Russia. He claimed that the British influence could be cleared out of all of Turkey, Persia and the lslamic peoples of Turkestan and India, by working with the Russians. He ar gued that when Britain has been ds- feated and Turkey is once mort politically indepeddent. Russia can be dealt with, the soviet rule over. thrown here and in Turkestan, art ;he old order reestablished.
 Enough of Red Rule.
 Communism, backed up by tht l1th Red army, is still inclined to ioyride in Tifis but in Baku tho worm is turning. It has had enough of the Cheka and the slaughter oi it's business men. Andriev, its min ister of foreign affairs. is a Com munist in name only. and Moscow ii lobeyed in so far as Moscow's man dates suit Baku. Dr. Nariman Mari manov, installed as president of the ' Azerbaijan republic by Moscow be- ] cause cf his communism, is after all a Mussulman and can not side with strangers against his own people There are not only bread lines, bul
