The loss of life in Athens may have beon due, as both Adeniral] du Fournet, Commander of the Entente fleet, and Gen, Callaris, com- manding the Greek regular troops, a to have asserted, “to a tragic misunderstanding.” But it was the kind of tragio misundor- standing only too likely to arise when the sympathics and secret lean- ings of a monarch and his court aro suspected of running contrary to the instincts of a large part of his subjects. The protest which King Constantine's Government addresses to the Government of the United States movingly describes the pain with which the Greek people has viewed for a month past “the ad- ministration of foreign control over nearly all its public services, its land communications, ite postal service, its telegraph and telephone services,” “The Greek Government desires the neutral nations to un- | derstand that the spirit of conciliation and equity of which it | has given proof has been unable to save the Hellenic people from | the grave vicissitudes through which the country is now passing.” Obviously it has not. But at the present moment tho neutral nations may well ask how much of the Hellenic heart beats in the royal palace at Athens and how much at Saloniki. It may be that no government could have kept Greece out of the war. Yet consider the position in which the Greek King and his cour. now etand as regards the confidence of the Greek people, consider tho policy of Constantine which has brought him into his present plight, and it is impossible not to think of the Greek nation, too, as ar. example of what the President of the United States so impressively said in this city last Saturday night at the dinner which closed the celebration of the lighting of the Statue of Liberty: “With all due and sincere respect for those who represent other forms of government than ours, perhaps I may be per- mitted to say that peace cannot come so long aa the destinies of men are determined by small groups who make selfish choices of their own.” In the case of Greece, the intrigues of a selfish ruler, instead of bettering, have lessencd the nation’s chances of peace in the face of war encroaching from without. Worse st..i, they have destroyed peace and unity within. Ho Mr. Bryan had the artist pajnt him with a “Peace Pla: his right hand.

Fifty Boys and Girls ¥ ys J Famous in History By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1016, by The Prow Publishing Co, (The New York Prening World), No. 22.—“THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON,” the Boy Genius. 18 name was James Crichton (pronounce it “Cryton,”“please) and he was born in Perth, Scotland, in 1660, Of his early boyhood * there are many legends and there {s little that can be set towa. as fact. But in a century when the average man could not read or write the lad’s genius for picking up an education made him famous before he entered his teens. Not only did he study, but he learned to fight. And) he soon became as renowned with the sword as with the pen. He entured history in 1675, when he crossed to Paris—then the world’s centre of education—and posted the following notice on the door of every college and seminary there: 4 “James Crichton, gentleman, of the County of Perth, in Scotland, fin debate with any scholar, in prose or in verse, on any subject, and in twelve different languages.” > Naturally a shout of laughter went up from all the French universities, And this laughter redoubled when it was learned that the presumptuous challenger was only a boy of fifteen. That such a youngster should pig his Intellect and his education against the greatest minds in France seemed the Joke of the year. “You will have to answer at least fifteen hundred puzzling qi Crichton was told. “If the day Is long enough,” he answered, lightly, “l'll answer two thous The extra five hundred will tax only my time, Comma @ sand. t my wit.” A Strange =e ‘ Contes, The time was set. The auditorium of Navarre Cole lewe was chosen as a place for the contest. Fifty ouemrnorn> picked scholars from the universities were sent to coma’ : pete with the Scotch boy. The hour arrived, The fifty scholars were assembled, So were several thousand onlookers, Crichton did not appear, A rumor spread that he ha@ lost his nerve and had fled from the city, But a few minutes afterward Crichton sauntered carelessly into the auditorium, Bowing to the referees, he apologized for his Inteness, explains ing that ho had been attacked by a professional duelist on his way thither, “As he was skilful with the sword,” added Crichton, "I was forced t® waste a little time in killing him. I regret the delay, but ! was necessary.” The contest began, The fifty scholars bombarded the boy with the most erudite and perplexing questions in Greek, Italian, English, Arable, Lattm German, Hebrew, French and other tongues. Sometimes he would/) Crichton replied correctly and brilliantly to each, answer an Arabic question in Italian or an English query in Greek, @ay showing himself thoroughly at home tn the use of twelve languages, At Inst the final questions were hurled at him and were aptly answered, The judges declared him the victor. A purse of gold and @ diamond were awarded to him as prizes, , The news of his genius ran ahead of him to all the capitals of ‘The fifteen-year-old boy continued his tour of the Continent, everywh issuing his queer challenge; everywhere triumphant in the sharp tests for him. To Romo he journeyed, and to Padua and Venice and Bologna and every other mediaeval seat of learning. One Italian scholar who o in vain with him writes: “Thie Scottish boy fills us with a terrified awe, it ts right for a mortal man to know!” At Mantua the lad found the city in panic over the depredations of @ robbed baron, for whose arrest a huge reward was offered. Crichton so! @ out the robber, killed him tn fair fight and distrib: Hie Masked the prize money among the poor of Mantua, Riven The Duke of Mantua employed Crichton ag tutor ys for the ducal heir, a dissolute youth, Vincenzo di Gone prem zag by name. Vincenzo hated his young tutor an@ envied him the wit and beauty that were his. b One night, as Crichton was returning to the palace through a tesarsg if rat? For he knows more tha street, he was attacked by several masked ruffians. He slew or disab! but one of them. He rushed upon the last member of the group, disarming him and tearing the mask from his face. ‘The disarmed man was his pupil, Vincenzo, Crichton, with a deep bow, offered his own sword, hilt foremost, to isarmed Vincenzo, Tho latter snatched the proffered sword and drove through Crichton’s heart.
