TIME greeting extended to Eleutherios

generation, by the Greeks of this city as he
passed through town yesterday afternoon did
them credit.
venizelos is not only the greatest Greek
Of his generation. He is one of the ablest
men Of any race alive today. Mr.. Wilson
said he was the biggest man he met in Paris,
and this opinion was shared by others.
He organized the war against Turkey to
free the Balkan states from Turkish in
Auence, and he was the first statesman able
to induce these states to forget for a few
months their own jealousies in order to
fight common enemy. He foresaw the
German purposes when the great war began
and he did his best to prevent Greece from
casting in her lot with the Teutonic Pow
err. He knew that il those Powers were
victorious Greece would becom n Tcu-
tonic dependency, while he had vision of
an independent Greece regaining some of its
I'D prestige in the Eastern Mediterranean.
His opponents defeated him at home and
he 10 temporarily out Of power. but he has
strong following Of Greeks who have con-
fdence in his honor and In his patriotism.
X When the moment seems to him opportune
he will probably return to Greece to obey
the mandate Of his countrymcn to extricate
them from their present difficulties

wait until now for first glimpse of a good
picture? AS art Week" wears away it
seems more and more of a success--if sue
cess may be measured in ethical and moral
terms.
The movies captivated the people because
they were put where the people could see
them. Yet to this day all the better forms
of art are revealed only within rather for
bidding walls and inaccessible galleries out
aide the beaten track where relatively few
people can conveniently go. 1t has been
demonstrated already that the general lack
Of interest in painted pictures is not due to
the pictures themselves. Chestnut street

night, because the canvases in the shop
windows actually have attracted multitude

PERsHINo on PREPAREDNESS

GENERAL PERSHING, speaking before
" the Senate Military Committee in oppo-
sition to the reduced army budget proposed
by the House, argued in a manner which is
sure to bring new charges of revived mill
tarism'' from members who are pacifists for
political reasons. What the general really
did was to talk frankly as n professional
soldier. Such talk as his is necessary to
cure the dangerous optimism prevalent
among the members of a minority in Con-
gress who seem to believe that the merest
shadow Of an army and the dry bones of
navy will be adequate to keep the country
safe in these days of perfect international
friendliness and peace.
The logic Of the armament question. how.
ever, is not changed in the least by Gen.
eral Pershing's rather brusque assertions.
"Strong leadership in the United States and
adequate military preparations said he.
would have prevented the World War
Would It? Germany had strong leadership
and her military preparations were all that
could be desired under the circumstances.
And Germany caused the war. There is
strong leadership and-strong leadership.
The strength of a military organization has
very definite limitations in a final analysis.
The strength Of moral character is the only
strength that may produce permanent good.
Failure to recognize envy, hatred and
jealousy among nations,'' said General
Pershing." has always left the United States
ut something Of a disadvantage in emer-
gencies." Recognition of hatred. envy and
jealousy is pretty general in Europe and
always has been. but it doesn't seem to have
done Europe much good.
We in the United States require an army
of at least 10000 men for defensive pur-
posns No mood nOvy oven lnr0er th0N
the Senate and House seem willing to pro-
vide for. But General Pershing would have
been more convincing If. in the course of his
appeal. he had been little more generous
in his view of the purposes that have ami.
mated the people of the country in times of
a world crisis which miltarism created when
it ran wild.

THE PLESIoSAURUS: A MORAL

WHEN mems wisdom is as great as their
w curiosity this will bean easier world to
live in. An expedition of scientific men is
now in the interior of Patagonia to look up
a monster of n species supposed to be ex-
tinct which was reported to be residing in
lake in a wilderness. The plesiosaurus of
this quest is. or was, an enormous lizard
And that is all. Scholars in another expe-
dition have been risking their lives to reach
the top of Mount Everest. And thousands
of scientific associations are engaged from
one years end to another in search for
purely abstract knowledge.
In West Virginia, meanwhile. a very
large number of workingmen of native
parentage, with the effects Of the American
tradition in their very blood, are about to
be put on trial for treason: They are
miners who engaged in labor demonstra- :
ton which. in the view of public prosecu-
tors. was in defiance of the laws of the land
and calculated to weaken and discredit
them. Wouldn't it be worth while to know
what ails these Americans, what their trou =
bles were and why, even If they were not
reasonable, they rsked conflict with the
powers of the State and Federal Govern
ment?
Wouldn't it be worth while to know why
many Americans dislike and distrust the
machinery of politics? Isn't it actually
necessary to obtain that sort Of informatiOn
in the interest Of national safety and peace
OF course it is. But no scientific com :
missions 60 to seek it. Nor does Congress.
Nor do committees of citizens. As a people
we are quite like the scientific men in Pata
gonia. We hunt only the plesiosaurus
though plesiosaurus, even il one were
found, wouldn't be worth its keep for any
purpose whatsoever.

LOCAL PRIDE

IF THE rivalry among the japanese cities
i we're as keen as that among the cities of
California the news of the earthquake in
Toxic yesterday would not have been sent
out from that city. Some rival would have
nut on the cable the news that Toxic had
been devastated by a terrible quaking of the
earth.
But the japanese are accustomed to earth
tremors. The islands are the center of vol
canic disturbances which produce earth.
quakes every day, and the people take them
as a matter Of course. 1t Is only OCCASION
ally that serious damage is done.
They are just as accustomed to earth
auakes on the Pacific Coast The earth
tremors do not happen there as often as in
Japan, but they occur often enough to have
lost their news value for the daily news
papers. 1t is only when the shocks are more
violent than usual that any attention is
paid to them. Even then the cities in which
they occur belittle them.
It is said that when there was severe
earthquake in Southern California a few
years ago the Los Angeles newspapers
printed story about a Disastrous Earth
quake in San Diego and the San Diego
papers reported that "Los Angeles Is
Shaken by Severe Earthquake, when as
matter of fact the shock was felt equally in
both places.

voice Of very large part Of the United
Sthtes and the delegate. at large of q con !
stantly eniarsing class Of the American pec-
pie when she said thats practical politics is
the beginning Of the bad politics that leads
to war; That sort Of opinion Is far more
familiar In the United States nowadays than
It is IN England or anywhere else.
It is when this brilliant daughter Of o.
virginy exclaims passionately that the
trucst patriotism is not narrowed In vision
to the limits Of any one land that she Is
nrresting and significant. Perhaps 1t must
remain for women, who react to concerns
altogether different from those which nor
mally best war makers and politicians OF
the older type. to create n new interna-
tional spirit alien to war and proud In the
service Of all humanity. Certainly women
have paid pretty heavily for the sort Of
nationalsin that normally asserts itself with
guns.
Help us!' said Lady Astor, speaking
for the peoples Of older nations separated
from us BY the accidents Of the sen and the
earth's contours. Unite the world! All
Europe looks to America for a great moral
lead!"
Moving as such an appeal can be. it is
almost necessary to believe that the woman
who uttered It forgot for a moment that
Genoa is in Europe. What she is asking
from the United States was rendered at
Versailles and ignored, and in some quar-
ters laughed at. Some one with the fine
spirit and the courage Of this returning
Virginian is still needed to speak for COM
mon humanity in Paris, in London and at
other places in Europe where the movement
for peace and a more endurable system OF
international relationships was arrested
after the war and where patriotism still

HE CAN DO 1T

NJ something about the powers of the Gov
ernor of PENNSYLVANIA. for he is saying that
II he is elected he will adopt the budget
system at once. without any more legisla-
tion on the subject
He will direct the heads of the depart
ments that he appoints to make their esti-
mates for the customary period and, after
asccrtaining the probable revenues, will
make the estimated expenditures fit the es-
timated revenues before sending them to the
Legislature.
Then IL the Legislature increases the ap-
prOpriations he can reduce them before he
approves the appropriation bills and keep
the expenditures within the receipts.
He can do this because the State Consti-
tuition empowers the Governor to veto items
in appropriation bills.

RESTORING AN OLD CUSTOM

TTlIlE place for the commencement exercises
i Of a university is the university campus.
They should always be held there unless
there are insuperabe obstacles. The lack of
IN auditorium of suitable size on the cam
pus Of the University of Pennsylvania has
been regarded in the past as sufficient to
justify bringing this annual academic func-
tion into the heart of the city. The Metro
politan Opera House has been used because
Il is the biggest hall in town.
The decision to have the exercises on the
campus this year in spite of the lack of
suitable auditorium, will doubtless crafty
the whole University community. Weight.
man Hall will accommodate 1000 people
and, as the exercises for the Undergraduate
and graduate schools are to be separated. it
will be rs nearly adequate to the demands
upon 1t as the similar assembly halls of
other universities.
When the new auditorium for which the
late William b. Irvine left $500, 900 to the
University Is built at Thirty fourth and
Spruce streets there will be space to seat as
many as can get into the Metropolitan
Opera House. 1t is expected, however, that
the new building will accommodate many
more. Then whatever objection may be
raised by those who are incOnvenienced by
the comparatively narrow quarters in
weightman Hall will be removed.
The abandonment of the usual com =
mencement address by distinguished guest
(, Will make the commencement still more
definitely University function. The act =
ing provost is to speak to the graduating
clasaas and the heads of the various depart
msnts will also speak, giving the final word
oe counsel and admonition to the young
men who have been in their care for four
