All Saiira' cburoh is a quaint

and with the pore wbi e lillies, jon
quils, dogwood blossoms, etc., about

strongly of realms beyond wbere all

At this juncture the groom en

More than 400 years ago Greece
lost to Tnrkey the territory ever
part of which the tto aru.i-s have
just renewed the eternal coi fl ct.
Then Cons'antinople fell, the last
of the Greek emperors was slain,
tbe "crescent," stys a modem bis
toiian, "sup;ibn'ed the cross in the
city of t'o'iatautine ; and an infidel
barbarian monarch ocenpied the
throne of the first Cbristia", R uiao
Emperor." For over 300 years
Gnece Submitted to the eppressive
role of the Turk. In 1821, a leader
appeared, a native of G-eece, Alex
ander Ypsilan'i, then a g-neral m
the Russian army. He began a
revolt that grew into a war as fierce
and barbaric as perhaps the world
ever saw. Neither old nor young,
male or female, was spared on either
side, but as the struggle of the
Greeks was founded in a desire for
freedom, and was conducted wttb
unparalleled heroism agiinst great
odds, they won the sjmpalhy cf
Europe ; and England and Rus
sia on lei took to end tie war.
In this tbey succeeded, and corn
pulled the Turks to recognize as an
independtnt nation, the Greece of
today, an area of less than 25,000
square miles or about tbe size cf
West Virginia.
The present war started in. Can
dia or Crete, a small iiland south of
modern Greece, now ruled by
Turkey, but once a part of Greece.
Grecian in most respectp, it has been
governed by the Turk, with the
same cruelty and injustice that
blights every land that conies nnder
the dominion of the Sultan. The
Cretans have revolted many time
before now, and in this la'es' at
tempt to secure a meaaure of inde
pendence or aniexation'o Greece,
had of couree the sympathy of the
Grecians. No p ople in the world
are more aggressively pitriotic than
tbe Greeks and the news of an in
surrection iii Oiete renewed the fires
of hatred of Turkish rule in every
home in the Hellenic peninsula. So
far from being neutra', the people
of Greece demanded that their goy
etnment assist tbe Cretans; and so
determined was this demand that
King George was compelled to make
at once a show of hostility, and ac
cept the pre if ;r of volunteers that
sprang to arms on every side, cluui
oring to be led against tbeir ancient
eiiemy. TLousandsof them went to
Crete to fight the Turk and were
barked by G.-tece.
Meantime tbe great p weri, Eng
land, K'issia, I aly, G.-rmany and
France affecting to be concerned
only with p-eaerving the peace of
Europe- threa'ened Greece with a
blockade of ber ports unite she
preserved an aspect of neutrality as
regards tbe revolu ion. But this
was impossible; and no threat of
the allied powers, nor blockade cf
tbe ports of Greece, has accomplish'
its purpose. Open aid wa-s not only
given the Cretans on the South, but
bands of organized though irregular
Greek troops have invaded Tuikey
on the North. These had appan nU
ly the full, if se-ciet, approval of
Greece and a week ago Turkey de
clared that if the powers were not
able to put a stop to thae invasions,
she Hoi Id regard them as a declara
tion of war on the part of Greece,
uni act accoidiugly. Ihatshe has
decUred wur no, is ra'.her to her
ere iit than o berwise ; the difference
between Greek troops and irregulars
was too small to teke into account
for long when Turkey ai losing
daily stragttio points to men culling
themselves Greeks whether iu tbe
regular Greek army or 1 o
Why have not the uern bold
aloof and let G.eece annex Crete?
Why should they attempt t ) kee(
the Sultan's territory nnduided ?
Mr. Gladstone ana wt red th first
questiou by saying that the powers
should keep bands 1 IT, or 1 id th
Oie-ks; and tbe stcjml, thai nc
such attempt s'.ould be made er
:ded by Kulanl at leist. T..e
p euaible reason, boweyer, why the
powerJ have luterferej, is to pre
serve what they call the concert of
Europe ; that is, the acting together,
keeping in ty apitby uuJ iu touch
with each other to avoi I misonder-
t)Unding The reman back of th e
is that, realiz'ng tht Tuikey can
not long hold -tog.-ther, each na iu
wishes so to manoeuvre as to be in
position to grab the choicest slice
whenbe disiijtratioj begins
There ar certain porilous UuJSia
thinks should be berr, and some cf
these England will uIsd fight for.
Nowlf insurrections against Turkish
rule are encoureaged or inkd at by
ih-' poweig, it might be that neither
poei would get all it wishes. If,
fcr instance, Oieece wins in tbe
pre en t w.v, there is no telling what
she may not demand bs indemnity,
nor how sirely such a demtud
would cut loto the ambitions of
Russia, which regards every, s'ep as
a bick ward one that dots not take
ner a foot nearer Constantinople.
She has fought be fire when that
advance was interfered with, and
nearly 20 years she has been getting
ready for tbe nm great struggle).
Besides, a diiuiauation of the Sul
tans territory means pojaible de
faulting in the payment of interest
on Turkish bonds held in all the
great financial capital? of E.irope.
In the present conteit, Turkey has
the advantago of great numbers, her
army biing much larger than that
ot Greece. But if a half century of
time has not changed the Greek for
the werse, King George's troops
may yet be able, if not to pira'hl,
at least to suggest the defeat in Au
gust, 1823, of 100,000 Tui k i by 500
Greeks under 1I16 immortal Marco I
Uizzirie. At least if the war now
on is long oantinued we may look
for a display of great heroism ua
well as of great barbarity, and the
end, especially if other nations are
drawn Into the fiht, may give the
world a new map of Europe.
