The Venizelos Govern- ment stood for that desire. Already there are predictions that King Constantine's leanings toward the German cause will start a revolu- tion that may cost him his throne. French and British troops landing at Salonica were, despite the formal protests of the Greek Government, made welcome by the peo- ple. Public opinion shute its eyes to the violation of neutrality and Yelieves with the ex-Promier that “it is clearly the interest of Greeco -ta’tange herself on the side of the Quadruple Entente.” The nation is not with but against the King. Bulgaria reveals a parallel situation. King Ferdinand, bargain- Ang with the Teutonic allies, finds it impossible to conceal from the world the reluctance and resentment of his subjects. Gen. Savoff, former Commander in Chief of the Bulgarian army, is reported to have declared impressively in Council: “Every Bulgarian who breaks ‘away from Russia commits an act of treason toward his country.” ‘Anstro-German allurements have played the mischief with thse two monarchs. Under the spell they have alienated their peoples and weakened their hold on their thrones. Is Teutonic imperialism to Jeave ite mark to the eastward in the shape of discredited kings? Nations whose national spirit is too sorely tried at last repudiate the rulers who betray them. ro od In announcing that he will vote for woman suffrage the President 1s careful to reiterate his view that “in no circum: etances should it be made a party question.” It won't be. We doubt if suffrage gets this fall the atten- tion it deserves. One of the most significant and progressive politico-social movements on record, in former times, with less going on, it would have been a great issue. But now the ears of the world are full of clash and clamor, Bren peaceful nations are preocoupied—inspecting the founda- thons of their peace. Suffrage as an issue faile to rise.

They also rejected animal food and founded the first known brotherhood.

It ts the same old first law of nature—self- Preservation, It 1s found in every form, in every minute of the day. Everybody in- dulges in it, and yet thousands do not realize 4t. Often an action is justified and consclence is eased by saying it was ‘the only thing to do.” When traced to its original source it was due to SELFISHNESS. Selfishness is the unwillingness to sacrifice one's own desires. Webster says selfish- ness is “the seeking or disposition to seek ene’s own gratification, wel- fare, advancement or the like, regard- less of. or at the expense of. those of others.” But in the course of the everyday here are a few ways by which “the most popular gin” t# recognized, Selfishness ta; When you appropriate the most comfortable chair, or the warmest nook, or the most sought-for book, When you spend more on your cigars than your wife does on clothes, When you insist on holding down two seats in the subway, When you forget your waiting wife while you are in the midst of your men friends.
