GREECE RAPILY MOV FORWARD Golden Age Era Seen Follow- ing Success of Revolt Against Turkey. Greece, on the centenary of her suc- esssful revolt against the Turk. faces the future strong-r than she has been for 2,300 years. Athens, with her new guburbs and Port Piraecus, has won a high trade position in the Near East. “Two rich prizes of war have more than paid the cost of Smyrna’s loss, for | when 1,200,000 desitute refugees de- scended upon Greece they brought in their seemingly empty hands the Turk- | ish carpet and the Turkish tobacco in- dustries,” says a bulletin of the Na- tional Geographic Society. “Athens University, with 10,000 stu- deniz. has chairs of philosophy for modern Platos and science professor- ships for new Archimedes. The Gen- nadeion, a library built by Greek and American effort, holds 50,000 volumes on’ Greek culture and history. “A splendid new stadium under the shadow of Acropolis takes the place of that ancient meeting place for athletes at Olympus, where the Olympic games were first contested. “Parliament of a free people listens o the fervid oratory of current Demos- thenes, who reveal that the ancient love of the Greeks for argument, debate and exhortation has diminished not a jot. “New and splendid buildings acknowl- edging in their style the genius of Pericles rise on all sides. “Greek progress, evident throughout the peninsula, makes it difficult to ap- preciate that 100 years ago ghe proud eople of Ulysses and Agamamnon had geen ground under many heels—Alex- ander's heels, the Roman heel, the Venetian heel and for 400 years the Turkish heel. Heroes of Greek Freedom. “Smoldering resentment against Mos- lem domination broke out in 1821, be- ginning the nine-year battle for free- dom. - Admirers of Greece in many lands rushed to her support as La- fayette, Kosciusko and Von Steuben rushed to the United States. Ameri- cans and English vied with each other to raise money for the support of the Greek revolution. President Monroe gent a message of encouragement, to which Jefferson, Adams and Madison added their wishes for Greek suceess. Dr. Samuel Howe, husband of Julia Ward Howe, author of “The Baitle Hymn of the Republic,’ sailed to Greece soon after his graduation from Har- vard, joined the revolutionists and.be- came surgeon general. “Other American heroes of the Greek revolution were Col.

Tobacco From Greece. “The United States' chief import from Greece is, strange to say, Turkish to- bacco. Small-ieaf tobacco of the Near | East was raised in Macedonia when that region was still Turkish, but the production has been greatly increased with the coming of the refugees. newcomers, many of whom were settled in Macedonia, knew all about raising tobacco, so their efforts have made Ka- vala a_famous tobacco port. Refugees have also introduced the silk-raising in- dustry, as well as rug weaving and cig- arette making. “Cotton of Boeotia, dried fruits from wines of Attica, honey 3 . “wheat from newly drained swamps are products of the na- tion. Some authorities, however, call Greek wine a mistake instead of a product. Beside a glass of Greek resin wine, they declare, the hemlock cup [that Socrates drank was a delicious beverage. No one seems to know why or when the Greeks began putting resin in their otherwise excellent wine.” Abyssinian Relics Found. VATICAN CITY (#)—Father Ber- nardino Asaiz, .

SHANGHAI (#).—An American built, | equipped and directed mint, said to be the most up-to-date of its kind in the world, has just been opened here. It is called the National Government Central Mint and represents an invést- ment of $5,000,000. It has been in the | making for 10 years. The institution was undertaken when | | the defunct Peiping government was in | | power, but lack of funds slowed the| | building work, and for several years the costly equipment was useless in so far | as providing China with a much-needed | | standard colnage was concerned. | Project Taken Over. | But with the advent of the National- | ist regime and removal of the capital to | | Nanking the project was revived. The | | new ministry of finance took over the | | whole thing, despite the 3,000,000 debt | | hanging over it and under the direction of T. V. Soong, finance minister, has | pushed it to completion. | The technical expert of the new mint | is Clifford Hewitt of Philadelphia. He | has been on the job here since 1920, | | sticking to it through all the years of | | delay Modeled From Treasury. The mint has a capacity of 400,000 | coins every 10 hours and is therefore | second to none in capacity. Not only | is the machinery of American design | and make, but the architecture bears the same stamp, the structure resem- | | litzer, formerly president of the Press doorwa being & copy of the main entrance to the Washington building. The mint is under the supervision of a board of governors, with George Kwok Bew, an Australian-born Chinese, as chairman. He is head of Shanghai's largest department store, and the other members of the board are either busi- ness men or bankers. - PUBLISHER TO MAKE AFRICAN- EXPEDITION Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pulitzer Sail to Collect Specimens for Carnegie Museum.
