GREECEi NEW NATION OF
AN ANCIENT PEOPLE.
Tlic question of succession to the
throne of Klnjj Alexander of Greece
turned world Interest once more to
aoutlieastern Europe. The changes
(Ireecc tins undergone territorially Vnd
the part It hns plnyul In the wars mill
crises of Its corner of the worldnrc
discussed In the following bulletlu Is-
sued by the National Geographic so-
ciety: ' '
"What Is areecef
"In tho light of the pnst the answer
might well be tentntlto for n defini-
tion of Greece's area nt any time dur-
ing tho thousands of years of Its his-
tory would hnve held gooil hardly for
n quarter century; and In Intter jours
so swift have been the changes In the
new Greece each decade hus seen tho
llxlng of new boundaries.
"Not until modern times except
during the moim.ntnry empire of Alex-
ander hns 'Greece' meant a nation.
In the Grecian Golden Age as veil
ns before and since Greeco was a
house divided agulnst Itself. Its de-
tailed history would mrnn tho history
of more limn 150 separate states.
And yet there wns n nil times some
feeling of Hellenic nationality crn
though the rivalries among the va-
rious groups stood In tho way of fu-
sion Into a single nation.
"While Greut Hrltnln mny be de-
scribed ns n land surrounded by sen
Greece mny be snld to ho 'n sen sur-
rounded by land.' The Hellenes lime
always been n sen-furlng folic and
the Mediterranean sen nnd more par-
ticularly tho Aegean hno been their
own particular 'herring ponds.' The
Islands of the eastern Mediterranean
became Greek territory .In their en-
tirety nnd this was true also of tho
Island-like Peloponnesus nnd some
other portions of the Greek peninsula.
Hut an cqunlly Important part of
Greece of better of the land of the
Hellenes were tho settlements made
by Its mariners on the shores of the
mainland that hem In tho Mediter-
ranean. Theso settlements consti-
tuted nn unbroken fringe of Hellns
along the shores of 'Asia Minor nnd
scattered communities on the shores
of Italy In Hlclly even In northern
Africa and what Is now southern
Trnnce. This wns tho loose 'Orrece'
or Hellas at Its greatest a domain
of one peoplo hut of rriiiny states.
"Greece gnvo the world Its first
League of Nations tho Dcllan league
organized In 417 II C. by way of mu-
tual protection against the 'external
aggression' of Persia which had n
sort of Ilerlln-to-llagdnd ambition of
Its own In those days. Athens wns
tho only 'prlnclpnl power' In this
league nnd wns the recognized leader
of the organization.
"Later canto the hegemony of Ath-
ens by force the paradoxical empire
of n democracy bereft ecn of the
trappings of monarchy. At this pe-
riod and under what mny be termed
the empires of Sparta nnd Thebes n
close nppronch to a Greek nation may
bo snld to have existed; but In none
of these eras were most of the terri-
tories peopled by Greeks Included nnd
even Inrge parts of the Greek penin-
sula Itself were governed by other
Hellenic states. For n brief period
under Alexander the Great Greece
reached the stntus of a nation but It
wns n fusion forced by a virtual out
sider and contained much territory In-
habited by olhers than Oreeks ; nnd
on the denth of the grent military
genius the Hellenes separated again
Into numerous governmental units.
"Greece expanding from tho city
stnto hnd comprised for a moment
almost tho whole civilised world i hut
the grent dilation was followed by an
equally great contraction. Greece fell
under tho rising power of Home nnd
bernme n mdro province In the west-
ern empire.
"The military ability nnd power of
tho Greeks died under tho Itnmnn
yoke; but when tho Eastern empire
wns formed with Constantinople as Its
sent Greek culturo conquered where
Greek arms could not nnd ttyznntlum
became In reality n great Greek stnte.
Onco more the territory that by con-
struction nt least can be regards) as
Greece spread ontward until It held
within Its boundaries much of south-
eastern Europe. It Is on reviving the
glory of this period In Grecian history
tlmt Greek Ambition when It could
live at alt has dwelt."
MONGOLIA! SHE SEEKS TO
THROW OFF YOKE
OF CHINA.
Mongolia fighting' along its eastern
bonier ta throw off tha yoke of China
once more ls. one of the moat Inter-
esting countries . in the world today
and also one of the most primitive
according to a communication to the
National Geographic society from
Ethan O Le fduoyon.
"The Inhabitants in many .Ways re-
semble our owa North American "In-
dians" says he. "They have a writ-
tea language are blindly devoted te

fanatical. The lamas er Buddhist

altitude from 8000 to 6800 feet
There are many mountain ranges and
la very few places Is the country
level for any considerable distance.
Tho word Gobi means a 'barren or
desotnte plain.' Vegetation Is absent
on the Gold desert with tho exception
of a few grasses so that argol (or
dried camel dung) Is the only fuell
lifted. It Is collected and stored In
Inrge quantities for use during the
winter.
"Water Is cenrce n few wells along
the enravnn route furnishing the en-
tiro supply. During tho winter and
spring tho camel Is the-only nnlmnl
that can cros the desert nnd subsist
on drled-up grasses. At this season
J. of the )car blocks of lea arc carried
for water supply and nt other sen-
son two largo tubs are carried on
each cntnel used for this purpose one
tub on ench side of the camel.
'Tho Mongol Is n grent meat eat-
er living In some enses entirely on

be will nsk If they nre ns ged as
mutton. It Is not uncommon for a
Mongol to consume ten pound of this
meiit at one Hitting. Ho puts mutton
fnt In his ten which Is prepared with
milk from the brick ten (poorest grade
pressed In bricks) nnd of this be
drinks enormous quantities; so cup-
ful per day Is not nn uncommon
nmount for nn adult. There nre no

ents when opportunity offers. Gnme
Is not common near Urri. but ninny
varieties nre found In the mountnlns
thoiich hunting on Itogdu Ol

ANATOLIA AWAKE FROM
SLEEP OF AGES.
Anntolln which In Greek means n
rising. Is literally lllng up to Its
nnme. The leaven which during the
past two or three years 1ms been
working such drastic changes In coun-
tries In Diropu and Asia recently
threw this portion of Asia Minor In n
ferment.
Anntolln which lies between the
IJInck nnd Mediterranean sens and
touches Armenln on the east ami Syrln
on the south Is the borne of some
7000000 Turks'. Een though Mo-
hammedan Turks these people lunc
suffered almost ns much nt the hnnds
of their own governing otllclnls ns
have the subject Oreeks nnd Arme-
nians. The orlglnnl Turks In this nren are
descendant of tribes which hne
drifted In from Central Asia but Into
Anntolln' crucible have poured
streams from muny sources TuranI-
nns Persians Annenlnns nnd Oreeks
wnrrlor tribes nnmnds nnd merchants
ninny of whom hnve lost their nnmes
nnd traditions. In fact most of the
en r Ill's nnlmnto creatures have nt
some time pnsed over It. The molten
products of the centuries nre nomads
who often change n wandering life
Into one of ngrlculture living In hous-
es built of brick of clay dried In the
sun.
Tho prlnclpnl wenlth of Anatolia
lies In Its agriculture. Tortious of the
lnnd nro easily worked nnd fertile
the tract from the Sea of Marmora
to Trehlzond being particularly rich.
Other pnrts nro rocky or are Inter-
spersed with snlt tracts.
Due to the pnucity of a population
numbering senrcely twenty-two per-
sons to the square mile and to the
fact that the Inhabitants are Imbued
deeply with tho fatalism and sunve
Imperturbability of Mohammedanism
which to the American mind seems
about 00 per cent laziness two-thirds
of the tillable area Is covered with
sprigs anil useless weeds.
When the natives bestir themselves
nnd raise the common grains grapes
nnd olives cotton tobacco and
poppy seeds which the land Is capable
of. piujuclng there nre not yet suffi-
cient transportation facilities to take
care of the harvests. Tho Germans
snw the possibilities of these regions
and wero planning; when they shipped
railroad ties stenm tractors nnd agri-
cultural machinery Into tho country
prnctlcnl steps toward the realization
of their dream. Now traveler from
tho Nenr.Kust tell us that "soon the
locomotive the motor truck nnd th?
airplane will open up Anntolln In a
new way binding It to tho world
commercially politically nnd geo-
graphically -as the historic bridge
land .between East and West."

SAN MARINO IS LIVING
PROOF THAT PEACE
ENDURES.
Pounded by n mnn whose pnrtlng
prayer was that It never should In-
crease Its territory by violence San
Marino emerges upon the map of the
new Europo from which empires are
disappearing nndSiew nations are out-
lined. With Germany crippled nnd
laid low by nn exactly opposlto am-
bition Snn Marino reinnlus ns -an cu-
during monument to her Ideal.
This tiny nation "our littlest ally"
Is described by Alice Ttoho In n com-
munication to the Nnllounl Geograph-
ic society as follows:
"The position of Han Marino in
miles from Itlmlnl Is singular. This
ljttle republic whose greatest length
is nine miles is completely surround-
ed by Italy who respects its autan1
oaiy as have rulers of the past wnli
a few fleeting exceptions since the
pious Dalmatian stonecutter left the
mountain to his followers "free from
every other man."
"That this little public which to-
day has 11000 Inhabitants and aa
area of 88 square .miles 'has ataia-
tatned its independence Ita Ideal ef
liberty la the laidtt of strlfa aad
Woodshed ef changing social condi-
tions' for sixteen centuries adds dig.
aity te the aawavbrlag belief ac the
I trusting ones In the neverceaslag pro
tection of the saintly founder.
"In the life of the republic today the
Influence of tho Dalmatian saint Is
strongly reflected. For a country to
mnlntnln Oio characteristics nf Its
primitive I'ouuder Is n social phenom-
enon of which possibly Snn Marino
alone can buiiKt.
"During the dajs of Christian per-
secutions In the middle of the Fourth
century Miirluo nnd Io. two stone
cutters of Arhe Dnlmatln crossed i
the Adriatic nnd ennio to lllmlnl.
Their reason say trndltMt wr.s to
aid Christians condemned hy pngnn
rulers to reconstruct the walls of that
city.
"Tho walls of Itlmlnl having been
finished Leo nnd Mnrlno looked long-
ingly upon tho solitude of the two
mountnlns. As tho hermits of the
Thehnld who flourished lit this same
period they sought penoe nnd snlltudo
In those Impenetrable heights. Hew-
ing n lied from the rock nnd cultivat-
ing a little garden Mnrlno found nil
his material wants supplied. This
rough bed and site of the garden nre
pointed out today hy reverent peas-
ants. A few shiu-s followed their
former overseer In order to practice
uudl nil their Christian faith.
"Mnwio's desire wns to found a
free snuety based upon liberty Jus-
tice simplicity charity virtue and
nboo nil of line of pence. When the
good man came to die he called his
followers about htm and bequeathed
to them his mountnln. 'free from eery
other innn.' Ills parting prajer was
Hint they nctcr seek enlargement of
territory by violent melius. War
though n painful necessity for those
uclltig In elf-dcfcnsc was nn tin-
purdoiinlile crime In thoo who caused
It. ltcgglng III fotliiuers to i cumin
true to the faith nnd to live In perfect
accord freemen nil he ihismiI nwny
little dreaming Hint In the Twentieth
century his little community would
stiuul u r oiiumeiit to his peaceful
teachings nnd simple form of govern-
ment. In the midst of a war-torn
world."
MADE FAMOUS BY NOAH;
WANTED U. S. TO MAKE
IT FREE.
One of the state which nsked tho
United Stales to bu tt-4 mandatory Is
Nakhichevan.
If j on have not heard of Nakhich-
evan llrst consult Genesis 8:4 for
the district In question lies nt the
foot of Mt. Ararat nnd tho town of
Nakhichevan coutnlns the alleged
graveyard of Noah. The builder of
the Ark local tradition affirms went
down Into the land that sought tho
wing of the United States. There he
I said to have died of thirst In the
parched plain after bis nrk bad brok-
en up on the snowy peak of tho
world' most famous mountnln.
The Nakhichevan district Inhabited
by Tartars Is bounded on the north
by tho Armenian district of Erlvnn.
Along the south flow tho Arax river
which Is the subject of many nn Ar-
menian song nnd which hero forms the
bnundnry between Asiatic Ilussln nnd
Persln. In the hills to the northeast
Is Shushn a strong Armenian center
where the Armenians held out against
a circle of foes In the summer of 1018.
When Russia's power In the Caucasus
declined and the soldats flowed back
from the 'former Russian front In Tur-
key through the Nakhichevan district
the traditional hatred between the Ar-
menians of tho Erlvan district and
tho Mohammedan Tartars broke out.
This closed tho carriage road to
Tabrlr and Inter closed the railway.
At great risk several members of the
American Committee for Armenlnn
and Syrian Relief with hendquarter
at Erlvan went to Tabriz and brought
back several million roubles In a train
that was so crowded with retreating
Russian soldats that one c'f tho com-
mittee members upholstered with
hundreds of thousands of roubles wo
forced to sleep on tho roof of the enr
In n temperature nenr zero. Within a
week the railway sendee was stopped
by Armenian-Tartar fighting.
Tho uprising of tho Nakhichevan
Tartars was III timed. German propa-
gandists had placarded the district
with poster exhorting theso Tartars
who nre related tn the Turks and nre
of the same religion to arise ngnlnst
the Annenlnns whom the retrentlng
Russians hnd left tn their own de-
vices. This they did. Rut the Ar-
menians had tpent the winter In rais-
ing nn army to tnko over tho former
Russian .front nnd nbout 23000 of
these volunteers wero assembled In
Erlvnn.
When tho Writer crossed tho Igillr
plain where Armenians nre starving
today these much persecuted .people
were hnvlng their Inning and the
smoke from a score of burning Tnr-'
tar vlllnges could bo seen.. Tartar
with arms were allowed to tlvo If
they surrendered their guns nnd .
women nnd children wero not touched
but their vlllnges were tooled nnd
burned by the Armenians. This was
in Blnrch 1010. All the Tartars re-
treated to the Nakhichevan district
where they formed a majority of the
population. There they have re-
mained. Hatred between them and
the Armonlnn I strong
Tlie whole problem Is msde difficult
by the diversity of the population. In
the mountnln villages the Kurd are
most numerous. A strong bnd will
be necessary tn control these several
tribes. The Kurds havp been forced
to be butchers by the Turks who gave
them guns as their only tools and
who kept agriculture nnd education
from them. Their condition was ss
bad for a time as thatv'cf Jho Arme-
nians and along the lur.o-Husslan
boundary scores of Kurds were to be
seen with only one garment and bare-
foot at an altitude ef seven thousand
feet la March. V
