Creece's Perennial Premier
1910

In spite of this, VenizeloS wanted to go
on with his Journey, and he did not
turn back before he had reached Mum
chen, where he learned that Germany
was modifying Austrian mobilization
might mean an Austro-Serbian war, but
German mobilization meant European
war. And that alone induced him to
return to Athens. Pachich put some
questions to him concerning the atti-
tude of Greece. Veni2elos answered as
follows: If Bulgaria was attacking Ser
bia, Greece would Immediately grant
her armed assistance. If 1t we're Aus
tria and not Bulgaria that was attack
ing Serbia, he would go into the matter
on his return to Athens.
Urged Quick Intervention.
Undoubtedly, as soon as the conflict
became general, Venizelos did not hesi-
tate for a moment. On the contrary,
his one fear was that he should come
into the war too late. He even declared
to his ministers, during a cabinet meet
ing: I'VE must make up our minds to
intervene at once, for in three weeks
the allies will be in Berlin"
How can one explain this blindness
at the very time when in Italy men
eager to make their country enter the
war on the Side OF democracleS ana Tor
the sake of democracies-men like Bis
solati-were issuing warnings that the
war would be long and that the de-
struction Of "Austro-G German militar-
ism" would be tremendous task?
The truth was that men Of Bissolati's
type might be either wrong or right,
but at any rate they were thinking a
European thought. While Venizelos,
for all his admirable intellectual gifts.
on that occasion spoke merely Levan-
tine thought. He still had the concep-

For its size Palestine harbors more
archaeological expeditions than any
other country in the world; perhaps
more than any other country, no mat
ter what size. The chief reasons are
two-the interest that is certain to at
tach to the discovery Of long lost
Biblical site and the fine corporation
shown by Great Britain to scientific
archaeological enterprise.
The American School at Jerusalem
has a habit of sending its director and
students on Spring trips over the coun-
try. These trips are usually productive
of results. The trip this last Spring is
no exception. The occupation of Mount
Ephraim by the Chosen People" has
been a moot question for many years.
The mountain seems to have been heav-

the forests were cut on by the Israel

key for the possession of Tripolitania
and Cyrenaica.
VenizeIOs Gave In.
Venizelos was less well inspired in
the peace that followed the short war
that Greeks, Serbians and Rumanians
waged against the Bulgarians about the
shares of the common spoils of the Bal
kan conflicts. Undoubtedly the Bulga-
rians had been guilty of having listened
to advice from Vienna; but Bulgaria Is
great living reality of the Balkans,
and it would have been wise to grant
her honorable terms even after her de-
feat. 1t seems, truth to tell, that Vent-
Zelos at one time inclined to leave them
Cavalla, a port that was necessary to
Bulgaria and useless to Greece. But
he soon gave in to the unbridled pas
sions of the populace.
But those are minor mistakes that
are easily explained by the prevailing
atmosphere Of the day.
1t was with the World War that
Venizelos' most terrible time began.
His defenders have sometimes main
tanned that his decision to throw Greece,
the majority Of whose people were for
neutrality, into the maelstrom of the
World War had one supreme moral
reason-his loyalty to the treaty of alli-
ance with Serbia, which had been at
tackled. From Pachich's own lips-that
Is, from him who might have had the
most to say against Greece learned
the details of his exchange of ideas
with Venizelos on this subject.
VentzeloS had left Athens by sea,
bound for Belgium, whittier he intended

when on landing at Trieste he learned
of the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia.

The old Jewish site of Meiron (an-
cient Merom) was studied also. Shreds
belonging to the late bronze and early
iron ages showed that Merom was oc-
cupied at the time the Israelites con-
quered Galilee, as told in Joshua. There
seems to be no longer any doubt that
it was here that Joshua defeated the
coalition headed by King Jabin OF Hazor
(Tell-el-OedahD.
Finds Battle Route Of Kings.
The expedition also found confirma-
tory evidence of the account in the
fourteenth chapter of Genesis about the
march of the kings of the east toward
Mount SER. The war was begun by
Chedorlaomer of Elem with his Mesopo-
tamian forces, TO which were added the
army of the Canaanite princes Of the
region near the Dead Sea. The argu-
ment against the campaign has been
that no route existed by which these
armies could have come. But Albright
expedition established in Transjordanla
practically the entire length of the road.
During the trip the Tell of Irbid was
identified as the Beth-arbeel or Hosea
1914; the modern village of Ham as
the Ham of Genesis xiv (No. 118 on the
list of Thutmose III, about 1880 B.C.).
The mound of Tell-el-Husn previously
had been identified as Ramoth- Gilead.
The Identification was made by ex-
animation and tabulation of a line of
mounds or tells of the bronze age. They
are inside the edge of the desert east Of
Gilead. Outside Of the Jordan Valley
there are no other bronze age sites in
Gilead. The line, therefore, is the an
Client caravan route, as described in
Genesis xiv. and must have been the
road followed by the army Of Chedor-
laomer.

Former Italian Minister TOR Foreign Affairs
v YENIZELOS has been, and still is,
the most beloved and the most
" hated man in cotemporary
Greece.
But I think it will be difficult
for the sons of those who hate him still
not to acknowledge some day-although
in the Orient hatreds usually become
family traditions-that Venizelos was,
until the World War, an exceptionally
fine servant Of the Hellenic nation.
He served Greece well when, as a
small lawyer in Gretchen still in the
hands of the Turks-he succeeded in
embod5ing all the hopes of the Christian
Cretans and eventually in achieving the
only possible solution-the annexation
of Crete to the Hellenic Kingdom.
He again served his country well
when he took the reins of government
in 1910, after the apparent success OF
the military regime, the pronuncia-
mento, that was in reality failure. The
Military League had indeed represented
all the hopes of a people disappointed
by the bad administration of politicians.
With that spirit that characterizes all
those who believe In the wonders of a
rule of generals, the league had set to
work with the most naive confidence
it is so easy for officers to hold that
everything goes wrong because the
civilians are not eficient-but 1t had
failed miserably before the gravity of
obstacles and problems the extent of
which those excellent colonies had not
as much as imagined.

Admiral Byrd feels that the results
of the flights and Sledging journeys
have been more than he had anticipat-
ed. The finding of the new mountain
range to the northeast on the last flight,
while not entirely unexpected, was a
much greater discovery than he had
hoped for. AS matter of fact one of
the odd things about the flights has
been that in areas where discoveries of
land were looked for nothing was found,

The entire area surveyed by aerial

and girls of the United States and
Canada. To n group. as they them

sent scholarships that may be used
to further educational work In any
university in the United States or
Canada. These scholarships win be
for one full year, and each will have
a value of $4,000 The other group

choice of either a scholarship OF a
tour of Europe, but not both. Nearly

eligible next spring to either of the
above awards.
while many boys and girls, I
hope, will be looking forward next
