have been made by the owners of the

years ago were considered as OF little
or no value and when stripped of the
surface soil were found to contain vast
bodies OF an ore which upon the de-
velopment of new furnace methods
proved to be the best of materials for

BACKGROUND OF EVENTS
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS.

next move might have been a declara-
ton of a republic, thus anticipating by
only four yearS--short and bitter years
what actually took place in 1924.
At the elections of November ID,
1920, Venizelos was overwhelmingly de-
feated, his party clecting less than one
third of the members Of the new Par
lament.
King Constantine returned, but with
his return Greece was deserted by her
allies, who refused further support.
Constantine. brought back on the pledge
of his supporters to get the boys out
of the trenches" found himself unable
to do so. just as Wilson. elected in 1916
Ito keep us out of war;" found he had
to lead us into II,
The Turks, armed. equipped and
financed by Russia and former allies Of
Greece. drove back the Greek army in
Asia Minor and compelled Its evacua-
tion. This was followed by the tragic
flight OF the Greek population of Asia
Minor into Greece and the reign of
chaos which brought about the abdi-
cation of King Constantine In favor of
his oldest son, Prince George. and the
establishment Of virtual military die
tatorship. In 1924 the kingdom ended
with the exile of King George and the
proclamation of republic.
Unfortunately, Greece under the re-
public has produced no one man with
sufficient strength and foresight to lead
her out OF the moraSs into which her
own political folly flung her The re-
suit has been succession of ministries
of mediocrity. each one OF which has
proposed a different panacea for the
woes following upon SO many years OF
warfare, internal strife, and, most OF
all, the necessity OF absorbing 1900 900
refugees forced into Greece after the
Inflated Smyrna adventure.
During this period Venizelos himself
had remained away from Greece, with
the exception OF few brief weeks in
1924. when he returned there at the
behest of his friends, but found him.
self unable TO stand the strain Of
active political life. He has. however,
served the country in various diplomatic
capacities. always being called upon
when some particularly intricate prob
lem was TO be solved. Outwardly he
has abstained from politics. but TO say
he had lost interest in them would be
as foolish as to say that Roosevelt lost
interest In American politics after his
retirement from the presidency
Now again the old Master" Is at the
helm. Parliament has been dissolved
and again elections are TO be held. 1t
remains to be seen whether or not the
Greek people will reverse the result OF
the elections of 1920 and thus decide
To retain the services OF the one master
mind produced by modern Greece.
The newspapers today often refer to
the aged Cretan" or the venerable
-, ...t.
As matter OF fact, he Is "a years old,
but by reason of the whitenesS of his
beard and hair has for many years
looked older than he really is. When
one notes the fire of his eyes or the
decisive manner of his speech, there is
no thought OF years.
