September —Strong icisn the behavior of Greek troops in the near cast was made by Viscount St. Davids, who presided at the semi-annual meeting of the board of directors of the Ottoman railway, which operates from Smyrna to Aldin, in Asia Minor. The viscount said: “The Greeks in their retreat burned .avery village they saw. They robbed Individual Turks. and when these re- sisted they killed them. They did all this near the front and without mili- taTy necessity. They did it out of sheer maliciousness. Our reports are that it was done systematically by regular troops under orders. It was done by the malice of men who knew they could not hold the country and meant to make it worthless for any ! eeks took from Smyrna a number of leading Turks and deported them to Athens, Viscount St. Davids declared. “The Greeks deserved all they got and more,” he said. “King Constan- tine's servants are very bad fighters, but they are first-class at robbery, arson and murder.” S ‘The speaker said that the Greeks were now quiet, but that the Ar- menians had resorted to bomb throw- ing., and in many ways prompted the chances of massacre.

Glicnansass S ;r Those who know from past experi- Satisfaction e——— ence with American Presidents how they feel in the first two vears will bear testimony that Harding's atti- is not novel. It was in the first year of Mr. Wilson's first ad- ministration_that he exclaimed to ai group of callers that he never could | understand how any one in his right | senses could ever scek the presidency. Not a Personal Matter. Protect Your Papers in a Genuine Cowhide Brief Case Yet the question of renomination was not personal with Mr. Wilson any more than it will be with Mr. Hardin; The party decides the matter. Mr. Harding was drafted in 1920—he had | made no campaign for the nomination —and he will be drafted again if the party chieftains think he should be. The only effect of this story at this time is to undermine the political strength of Mr. Harding with his own party. There has been, of course, a distinct loss of ground by the Pres dent. He is personally popular, but not as much as he was before the rail and coal strikes. It is natural for those with whom the wish is father to the thought to begin talking of some one else for the presidential nomination, and it is inevitable that the talk of another should be predi- cated on what seems to them a plaus- ible assumption that President Hard- ing himself will not wish to run. It} is always conceded that if Mr. Harding sought a renomination the party would be embarrassed if it refused. .Danger Point Not Re: The reaction against the Harding adnfinistration is noticeable, but sur- face indicatfons are that it hasn't reached the point of real danger to the republicans as yet.
