GREEKS ARBITRARY
Greek Revolt Worries Europe in
That They Will Defe-d Thrace and
This Was Given to Renal in Peace
Agreement
lBy United PresS.1

Paris, Sept. 27.-Fears that the al
lied plan for peace in the Near East
would tumble like a house of cards
were expressed here today by high
government officials on receipt of the
news that the Greek revolutionists had
driven King Constantine from his
throne in Athens.
The fact that the revolution was
caused by army officials who wanted
to fight the Turks to a finish to pre-
vent their occupation of Thrace gave
rise to these fears.
The allied plans, as stated in their
note to Mustapha Kemal. favors the
Turkish occupation Of Thrace, which
was ceded to the Greeks following the
world war.
In case the rebels gain complete
control, it was believed certain that
an attempt would be made to defend
Thace.
In this eytnt. diplomats pointed out
Mustapha Kemal. leader Of the Turks
would insist on sending his armies
into the territory.
London, Sept. 27.-The British gov
errmert is favorable to Russians de
mands that the soviets be allowed TO
participate in the conference Of pow
ers designed to bring about peace in
the Near East it was authoritatlvely
learned today.
The note from the Moscow govern
ment, demanding representation at
peace conference which is to be held
at Mudania on or about October 2nd,
was received shortly before the an
nouncement was made by the govern
ment.
It was not believed, .owever, thai
France would object owing to her po-
sition-which is involved with the lit
tie entente and the Remalists.
It is known that Kemal want. Rus
sian representation and France hes. in
a wav. sponsored the cause OF the
Turkish leader.
According TO the Constantioole cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle, he-
NAL will accept the allied peace terms
with these provisions:
THE inclusion Of Russia and Bul-
garia in the Near East peace parley.
2-The right of Turkey TO fortify
the shores Of the Sea Of Marmora and
any strategic points in Thrace.

Teams Pass Well.
The Brattleboro high school basket
ball team met defeat at the hands of the
Athol high school team, So to 30, in Fes.
tiyal hall last night. The game was
holly contested and was interesting
throughout.
The work of Miller for the locals fea-
tured the game. His work on the floor
was unusually good, and his ability to
ring shots into the hoop from any posi-
ton was uncanny. Deyo had an off
night and never really got going. Cheney
and Lasky led the scorers among the
visiting players, although p. Murphy
played a better all-round game than
either of them.
Miller opened the game with pretty
under-the-basket shot Cheney came
back for Athol. The first period seemed
to be q contest between Lasky and Mil
Ter for high honors. Due mostly to their
more accurate shooting the locals
emerged with n 16-to15 lead at half
time.
IN the second period the Murphy
brothers romped away from their guards
and put Athol well to the front. With
FIVE minutes to play the Athol team led
80 to 26. Miller got a beautiful hong
shot and Haywood added another. bring

basket by Miller,
The support given the local team was
the best given high school basketball
team here for some time. The students
were back of the team every minute and

"Dede's" players are good, and the
team as a unit is good; but there are
faults plainly noticeable which viii have
to be eradicated before they can win
hard games. First the players do not
follow their shots. they shoot from the
middle of the floor. and if the shot misses
they let their opponents grasp the OPP
portunity to get the ball. The locals
pass well until they need points, and
then they try every conceivable long
shot. The best rally in the basketball
game is not long. impossible shots, but
brilliant teamwork with under the bas-
ket shots

PlNcHoT'S PLAIN PLATFORM

TNINSEL gencralties of the familiar type
L of political platform find no place in the
direct and candid statement of Clifford I'm
chot, addressed to editors of Republican
newspapers in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Pinchot is, fortunately, ungifted with
powers Of gaudy rhetoric. His manifesto,
which is in the nature of prelude to the
gubernatorial campaign, bears directly on
concrete issues, is wholly in line with pre-
vious promises and is constructive in the
best and least delusive sense of that word.
That he has not forgotten. and is deter
mined not to forget, one of the pregnant
causes of the political revolution in this
Commonwealth is confirmed by his declared
intention to make the quickest possible use
of the findings of his unofficial committee
designated to explore the welter of waste
and confusion in the finances of Pennsyl-
vania.
The reorganization of the State Govern
ment and the elimination Of the saloon are
two other policies which he plans to carry
into prompt effect in the clearly fore
shadowed event of his election. His reor-
ganization program involves, rs 1t should
the cause Of local self government for cities,
boroughs, townships and school districts.
and the mitigation as much as possible of
cumbersome and oppressive dictation from
Harrisburg.
1t is upon this same theme that John a.
IcSparran has waxed particularly fervent.
In his opposition to decentralization and
the creation of ponderous and costly bu-
reaucracies Mt Harrisburg, Mr.. Pinchot
leaves his political competitor in the posi-
tion Of a protestant clamoring for reform
already sighted.
It is refreshing to note throughout the
Republican candidates preliminary state
ment the emphasis upon definite objectives.
The entire announcement is as devoid Of
elap-tr and pretense as are the career
and personality of the author.

A NATIONAL PARK NEXT pooR7

A s AN appropriate adjunct to the Sesqui.
"A Centennial, Congressman Charles J.
Hammitt, of New Jersey, is pressing an
ambitious project that is perhaps capable Of
development along interesting and nttrac-
tive lines. This Is nothing less than the
creation of national park in the region In
which Washington crossed the Delaware en-
route to the great surprise victory at Tren-
ton.
National parks in the East are rare.
There is, In fact, only one such preserve,
the Lafayette Park, with an area OF eight
square miles. in the picturesque granite
mountains of Mount Desert Island.
Still more novel is the conception Of a
national domain, emphasizing historic
rather than scenic attractions.
In Representative Hammitt's project,
however, natural charms would also play a
part, since the Upper Delaware Valley is a
gracious and charming region. The school
of American artists, including notably Gar
bcr and Rcdfield, who have pictured the
valleys beauties, is evidence of Its potent
alluremcnts.
There are, Of course. serious practical
obstacles in the way Of Mr.. Hammitts pro-
gram. But the conception is, on the whole,
less fanciful than 1t might be deemed with
out investigation. Despite their majesty,
there is no background Of associations with
the great Western parks. Their appeal is
objective.
Within the radius Of fifty or sixty miles
from Philadelphia there are stretches Of de-
lightful country hallowed by epochal events
in the making Of the Nation. Any move
ment which seems to safeguard the inspira :
tionnl values Of these regions and to respect
their relics of heroic past is one to be en-
