Tragic Case Of Greece.
The story of Greece since the close
of the World War has been one of
woe and disaster. No nation emerged
from the peace conference with high
er hopes or greater accesstons OF ter
ritory-on paper. In addition to the
acquisition of Bulgarian Thrace and
numerous islands of the Aegean, the
kingdom of the Hellenes also assumed
the administration of the important
Smyrna district in Asia Minor. with
the proviso that a plebiscite be held
al the end of FIVE years to determine
whether or not 1T should remain per-
manently in Greek hands. Restora-
ton OF Constantinople to Greece
after nearly five centuries of Turkish
occupation no longer seemed q Chi
merical dream for greater Greece.
But alas! thanks to her own inept-
tude in politics and impotency on the
field Of battle. the traditional ter
rible Turk" from the Businesses of
Of Asia Minor, swept the Greeks into
the sea, Smyrna was burned and the
victor virtually dictated his own
terms In the Lausanne treaty, signed
July "a. 1923. Turkish Thrace was
restored to that country, the bound
airy of 1914 obtaining with a. few
minor exceptions, and Greece, after
three years occupation. is excluded
from eastern Thrace and the coast of
the Sea Of Marmora- The Islands OF
Imbros and Tenedos are returned to
Turkey. The Dardanelles, the Sea of
Marmora and the Bosporus are de-
clared free to transit and navigation
by sea and air for every ship, no mat
ter what it's flag or cargo, and there
is to be no charge or tax whatsoever
except for service directly rendered.
If Turkey is a belligerent she may
prevent enemy vessels from using the
Straits, but neutrals may pass.
Soviet Russia Future Doubtful.
Russia is still in a state OF flux and
no one can predict with assurance
what the final outcome will be. At
present, however, the area of the
Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics in
Europe and Asia, together with Box
hara, Khiva and" Mongolia, which
have made agreements of a perma-
nent character with the Soviet au-
thorities, Is $4,000 square miles
almost three times the area Of the
United States Gncluding Alaska).
The total population Of these terri
tories is estimated 1T more than 1885,
100000.
On the north. south and east Of the
central nucleus Of Russia the areas
forming different administrative and
political units have complete local

fail to reach the mark. Much Of the
material used in burlesqGe revues
have been previously seen on the
legitimate stage in big musical
revues. Modern burlesque is not
it's own comedy or its
own comedians. 1t is using the ma
terial Of legitimate comedians in
stead of being individual.
This is true with the material
used in 1.-The Fast Shoppers" at the

and Harry Evanston. This show is
heavy on beautiful scenery. One
musical stunt, used by the chorus in
the Italian number, is a pleasing
Lady of the Lamp" is a

The novelty feature Of this show
is the Three Welandos, aerialists,

The disappearance of Mrs. William
Jennings Bryan from local hotel
after giving testimonial that the
Rev Raymond RiChey. evangelist,
was effecting a cure for the paraly
sis from which she has suffered
for many years. gave rise to the
opinion here that she was seeking
to exclude herself from public view
and avoid publicity.
1t is reported here that a tele-
gram was sent by Mr.. Bryan from
Miami asking Mr.. Richey to keep
down all publicity in connection
With his wife so far as was in his
power.
Mrs. Bryan did not attend the
open services last evening and was
reported as having checked out
at the hotel.
In her testimonial, Mrs Bryan is
said to have Informed Mr.. Richey
that. for the first time in many
years. she has felt pain in parts of
her body paralyzed. She has been
able to move her arms somewha
within the last few days.
The attendance at the meeting
has been growing tremendously.
