the colored servants. SAM he
said, 'if you die first, I want you to
come back and tell me what it's like
over there. If L die first, I'll come

After about year as a republic, she has
INDUCED in another of her little fip-fops now
become habit.
The future of the provisional president
Admiral Coundouriotis, seems trife uncertain
but Premier Mikhalakopoulos has been kicked
out.
The revolutonists, headed by General
Pangalos and Admiral Hadjikiriakos, charge
him with being inefficient. We had thought him
pretty good Only a short time ago, despite
Greece's plight, he raised $60,000,000 loan
among the hardest boiled money sharks extant
Which is to say he got 100000 from
Wall Street. $37 100000 from London and $11,-
100000 from the canny Greeks themselves.
incidentally this was the first Greek loan
ever foated in this country. At per cent it
went like hot cakes and was oversubscribed
many times
General Pangalos dispatches say, is at the
head of the new government military affair
apparently Of the Mussolni and Rivera type
Pangalos is something of a fre-eater
Greece's recent dictators the Colonies Gonatas
and Plastiras-who staged the revolution fol-
lowing the Asia Minor disaster and sent King
Constantine into exile-found it the hardest
part of his job to hold him down.
In command of the Greek army along the
Martha, in Thrace, he was constantly rarin to
go after the Turks on the other side Of the
river. He has never forgiven Kemal Pasha for
what happened at Smyrna and thereabouts.
If the revolution leaves Pangalos in the
saddle, the country will likely take on a more
nationalistic trend This Greek Mussolini will
make his one love, the army, his implement and
tool and neighbors particularly the Turks,
had better watch their step
