MAY DELAY RECOGNITION.
Murders Seen as Justification of
British-American Policy.

Special Cable TO The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1923.
LONDON, August 2S.-The murder of
the Italian mission assigned to the
worla of establishing the Albanian
Greek frontier. is viewed in official
quarters here as substantial evidence
of the wise policy of English and
American governments in refusing to
recognize the present Greek govern
ment.
1t is held that the government of
Greece, the regime of which was in
augurated by a series of heartlesS eX-
ecutionS, cannot expect anything but
violence and bloodshed from the peo-
pie, who take its early action as an
example to be followed.
France had already recognized the
revolutionary government and Italy
had ordered the former minister to
nation of Gen. Tellini and other Ital-
ian officers makes complete recogni-
tion unlikely. Thus the situation in
the near east as it existed nearly a
year ago as completely reversed.
New Alignment Made.
Where Great Britain took the side
of the Greeks in final warfare with
Turkey France actively espoused the
Turkish cause. Now France recog-
nizes Greece and Great Britain is pre-
pairing to recognize the new Turk
government.
Considerable anxiety exists among
the British commercial interests oyer
the failure to recognize the present
Greek government, but acts of vio-
lence such as those just reported
tend to allay the newborn desire for
friendly relations with the revolu-
tioniSts.
AS the result of the alignment in
Greece France has secured an impor-
tant contract for enlarging the har-
Dor of Piraeus. which previously had
been promised to British interests.
Some doubt exists whether the pres
ent Greek government will live long
enough to make the contract valid.
its life depending upon the result of
the conflict and hatreds aroused by
harsh actions.

"We're going to lick stamps to
lick tuberculosis" declared DR..
Cairns in an interview, "and we are
going to do it so effectively that this
will be a record breaking campaign.
Everyone knows what the little red
and green Christmas seals mean and
the fine work they are doing in the
fight against tuberculosis, the disease
which annually kills more people in
the United states alone than were
killed in the japanese disaster this
year. | count on help from everyone
the man who can show his interest
in dollars and the man who can show
it only in cents. No one is safe from
tuberculosis until all are safe"
"The tragedy Of tuberculosis is 6
familiar story to all of us-everyone
knows of some home that has be-
sorrowed by this disease. That the
prevalence of the disease is growing
less each year as result of the or
gained campaign is welcome news
but there is still much to do. For
over 1900 Wisconsin people died of
tuberculosis last year, and experts
estimate that there are now over
10000 active cases in the state.
Some of these cases are in our own
community. Through its free chest
clinics the Wisconsin Anti-Tuborcu-
losis Association is endeavoring to
find these cases in the early and most
durable stages. This is but one of the
many activities which are supported
by Christmas seals. The health pro-
paganda carried on through lectures,
publications, exhibits and newspaper
Publicity; the training course for
public health workers, the sanatorium
consultation service; the Modern
Health Crusade and other school work
are all a part of this intensive educa-
tional campaign against the White
Plague. The most direct way for the
average citizen to help in the fight
is to buy Christmas seals to the ut
most. | hope to see Seal on every
piece of mail that goes out of this
town during December"
