Yet there are but slender allied forces

means a. large an army altogether
as that which Greece is reported to
have assembled in Threce, available
for an attack. 1t cannot be conceived
that Greece could possibly succeed In
seizing Constantinople. Both France
and England would be compelled by
the formal obligations Of the treaty
Of Versailles to prevent. Whatever
initial advantages Greece may gain
through a sudden attack, they would
be soon overcome by superior forces
drawn from elsewhere.
OF course. it must be known at
Athens that the seizure Of CONSTANT
nople is a forlorn hope. Moreover,
Greece is in no position financially
to wage another war. Her treasury
is nearly empty and her credit is
stretched to the breaking point.

sibility of foreign loans for the pur-
pose Of waging a war which must
eventually be. against the only powers
that could or would lend money.
So, taken altogether, this Greek
nlaneuver requires explanation. 1t
must be regarded for the present as
a strategic diplomatic stroke to gain
something without fighting. The for
eign Offices at London and Paris are
not wholly satisfied even yet Of the
good faith Of the government at
Athens, and sinister suggestions OF
outside influences are not lacking now
in explanation Of this singular move

tion as a speakers bureau. All other

Washington is at all times the
proper. the best. place for campaign
headquarters. Politics centers here.
The clearest view Of the national field
is to be obtained here. Conferences
are easily arranged here.
This opinion is combatted in some
quarters. We are told that the
atmosphere Of the capital is unfavora-
BILE for political news; that visitors
come to town with reports too highly
colored; that their object is more to
please men high In authority. even
the President, than to state the case
with accuracy.
Washington is at this time particu.
larly the place for the conducting Of
campaign work. Congress is in ses-
sion and likely to remain in session
for some weeks. Middle or late Sep
tember is now suggested as getaway
time. Campaign material will thus
be provided from day to day and may
be gathered best by experts right on
the spot and distributed without delay.
Intensive politics is ruling and the
hardest Of campaign work will be
necessary. August. September and
October will draw heavily upon the
resources, financial and intellectual, Of
both parties.

The Strange Move of Greece.

Greece Is menacing the peace of the
world with her proclamation of an
autonomous state in Syria comprising
the area taken from the church by
Greek forces and by demanding the
right to occupy Constantinople. With
perfect harmony between the major
allied powers, England and France, in
respect to Asiatic policies, there would
he little danger of q serious inflamma-
tion. But England IL inclined in one
direction and France in the other. It
ID England's policy to promote a free
state on the Asiatic side Of the Bos-
porus just as it is French policy to
hinder such q development. France
looks with grave concern at the Greek
aspirations on the Asiatic mainland,
while England is disposed to foster. or,
at least, to tolerate, the development
Of an autonomous Syrian state under
a Greek protectorate.
Az for Constantinople. however, 1t

both England and France for Greece

This is no new condition. From

only to be renewed after few months
or years. Now another cleaning Is
requisite.
These so-called clubs are located with
particular reference to two factors.
the Maryland-District boundary line
and means of access from Washing

good highways. 1t is no longer neces-
sary in these motor days to open up
I gambling places in the country along
car tracks. The so-called sportsmen
can. reach them easily by automobile,
with the boundary only a few miles
out from the center Of the city.
1t Is now up to Maryland to move.
Doubtless the existence of these
clubs" has been well known in the
state for some time. The District now

Campaign Claims and Figures.

In political campaigning Observed
"Claim everything and claim 1t con.
fdently.'
The democrats of Missouri will to-
morrow nominate a candidate for SEN
ator. The campaign has been a
''corker.' Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Long
have stirred the state from end to
end and at the close their managers
are talking in tall figures. Mr.. Reed,
it is asserted, will have at least
sixty thousand the best of the poll.
NONSENSE exclaim the Long men.
''Mr. Reed is not in it. Our man
will have at least a hundred thousand
to the good when the polls close. He
Is sure shot"

manifested. 1t is all Swanson here,
thousand. Davis by thirty thousand.
The campaign has not been exciting.
Mr.. Davis has been stumping. but Mr.
Swanson, busy in the Senate with
official duties, has left his interests
largely in the hands of friends.

Industrial Clouds Breaking.

The new week begins with a
brighter and more hopeful outlook on
the industrial situation. Unless con.
fident predictions from both sides go
awry, the striking railroad shopmen
will be back at work before the week
ends and the continuance Of trans
portation will thus be assured. While
there are no new efforts looking to
a settlement of the mine strike, there
is the encouraging report OF sub.
stantial increase in production last
week and, with the government today
taking over supervision Of distribu-
ton, the situation is far less menacing
than it gave promise OF being.
If the railway executives and strik-
ing shopmen accept President Hard
ing's plan of adjustment, as it is re-
ported they will. it will be a striking
vindication Of the doctrine that the
public welfare is supreme and cannot
help but profoundly affect the state
of mind of the obdurate miners and
mine owners. If railway peace plan
either party wants to accept. but be-
cause it has been driven home to both
of them that they have a RESPONSE
bility to the public which they can.
not evade and because neither side is
willing to face the consequences of
a reputation of that responsibility.
The public responsibility Of the
miners and mine owners is just as
heavy as is that of the shopmen and
railway executives. and If the parties
the railroad strike yield to it the
parties to the mine strike will have
q much harder time holding out.
President Harding and those who
have advised with him in handling
the industrial situation have a right
today to feel extreme qualification.
Their policy of patient and persistent
endeavor in the use of peaceful means
before resort to force seems now in
the way of success. and those critics
who wanted the full powers Of the
government thrown at once into the
contest, instead of being held in re-
serve, are Silenced.
With the railroad shopmen's strike
out of the way. the mine strike can
be tackled again with the hands Of the
government immeasurably strength
ened, not only by the prestige Of a
victory won. but by greatly increased
public support and confidence. Ameri-
can public opinion. operating through
the President of the United States as
its spokesman and executor, has yet
to meet resistance too great to be
overcome.

An Old War Horse.

Among the candidates for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor in
Tennessee is Benton McMillin. He is
in his seventy-eishth year. He recalls
the days of Carlisle and Randall and
Thomas B. Reed in the House. He
was an outstanding figure In that body
in their day, and once a candidate
for Speaker. In the Diills-Crisp con-
test for that Office he had a following
large enough to suggest that in the
event of a deadlock between the two
leaders he might win as a COM
promise.
In the time Of the Bryan domination
Of the democracy Mr.. McMillin was
heart and soul q Bryan man-was a
Bryanite on both the silver question
and the tariff question. Partly as the
result Of this. when Mr.. Wilson came
to power and Mr.. Bryan took charge
OF the State Department. a place in
the diplomatic service was found for
Mr.. McMillin. and during the two
Wilson administrations he "held
down" a snug billet in South America.
At home again, the old feeling came
over him. and so We md him trying
for political honors again.
A long and a strong and steady
pull has politics on those who make
its acquaintance and show aptitude
for political work. They feel the lure
to the end Of the chapter, and either
die in harness or In the hope Of once
more putting on harness. In other
words, once q politician always q poll
tician.
