C.. April 26, — Greece, on the centenary of her suc- cessful revolt against the Turk, faces the futurg stronger than she has been for 2,300 years. Athens (Athenai) with her new suburbs and Port Piracus (Peiraievs) has wen 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 destitute rcfugees descended upon Greece | they brought in their scemingly empty hands the Tyurkish carpet and the Turkish tobacco industrics,” says |4 Lulletin of the National Geograph- | ic society from its headquarters in | Washington, D.

American Herocs of Greek Freedom Smoldering resentment against Moslem domination broke out in 1821, Leginning the nine-year battle for frecdom. Admirers of Greece in many lands rushed to her support as| Lafayette, Kosciusko, and Von Steu- ben rushed to the Upited States. Americans and Lnglish vied with cach other to raise money for the support of the Greek revolution. President Monroe sent o message of encouragement to which Jefferson, Adams and Madison added their wishes for Greek success. Dr. Samuel Howe, husband of Julia Ward Howe, author of the ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic,’ sailed to Greece soon aft- | er his graduation . from Harvard, joined the revolutionists, and hecame surgeon-general { with 10,000 ' stadium unde; | can_ satlors, ler | American is chairman of the board | “Other American heroes of the | Greek revolution were Colonel Jona- cte.; they find your cost, are received until | than, Miller of Vermont, whose ex- penses were paid by Boston; George Wilson of Rhode Island; and James Williams, a negro from Baltimore, who had served under Decatur. The fervor of America has been preserv- ed forever in the name Ypsilanti, Michigan, in honor of a Greek patri- ot of, the day. “Mbst famous of the foreigners who came to the aid’of Greece was the poet Lord Byron, then at the height of his fame. A suburb and |a boulevard of Athens today honor his memory. His fame has ob- scured the services of others; Lord Cochrane, admiral of the Greei navy; General Church, commander- in-chief of the land forces; Colonzl Fabvier of France, and Meyer of Germany. “Any nation subject to conquer- ors for 2,300 'years takes time to re- cover poise.

The present head of the government, Venizelos, is the only war premier |still at the ]cad of a government. Heavy Trade With United States “American influence, important during the revolution 100 years ago, is even more vital now. Commerce with the United States is heavier than with any other nation. Ameri- an American disaster relief committee, and Greek ships flying the American flag aided the cmbarkation of Greek refugees aft- the holocaust at Smyrna. An for the settlement of the refugees who numbered one-fifth the total population of Greece. American companies and engincers are engag- |ed in the reclamation of Vardar and truma river swamps for wheat fields and in the building of the first important water system for Athens since Hadrian built an aqueduct. “Then there are the American- minded Greeks who have been to the United States. No village, as tourists in Greecc soon discover, is without one. “Greece remains an agricultural nation, although only one-fifth of its surface (49,000 square miles; equal to New York state) is suitable for farming. Olives that werc so high- |1y valued by the ancient Greeks aro{ no less important to modern Greeks who care for 30,000,000 olive trees. Currant-growing is likewise an a cient industry. Climate and soil con- ditions of the western shores of Pel- eponnesus and on the islands of Zante (Zakynthos), d Cephalonia (Kephallenia), practically guaran- tee a world monopoly in the growth of the small, scedless currant grape that has been raised succeesfully elsewhere only in Californa and Aus- traljia. Half a million Greeks depend for ther livelihood upon the currant crop. “The United States’ chief import from Greece is, strange to say, Tur- kish tobacco. Small leaf tobacco of the Near East was raised in Mace- donia. when that region was still Turkish but the production has been greatly increased with the coming of the refugees.

Refugees have also introduced the silk-rais- ing industry, as well as rug weaving and cigarette-making. “Cotton of Boeotia, dried fruits from the Peleponnesus, wines of At- tica, honey from Hymettus, wheat from newly drained swamps, are products of the nation. Some author- ities, however, call Greek wine a mistake instead of a product. Beside a glass of Greek resin wine, they de- clare, the hemlock cup that Socrates drank, was a delicious beverage. No one seems to know why or when the Greelis began putting resin in their otherwise excellent wine.” Hen-Pecked Husbands Organize in Liverpool Liverpool, April 26 (A—The men of this city have organized the Hen- pecked Husbands' Union, a thriving confederation. The membership list of 500 is sa- cred, each member being pledged to | secrecy. But it is known that it rep- resents a cross-section of Liver- pool’s citizenry, rich and poor, for the Henpecked Husbands' Union knows no creed.
