Greece are still unsettled.

When the Prime Minister told the Boule[A] or parliament the terms of the
treaty, there was much dissatisfaction expressed by the members.

Mr. Ralli, the Prime Minister, stated that he was fully aware how hard
the terms of the treaty were, but he thought that Greece must accept and
make the best of them.

He told the Boule that it was not possible for Greece to continue the
war; she had neither men nor money to do it with; but he wished it
understood that he was merely stating his opinion; he would not attempt
to advise the nation on such a serious point.

If the Boule decided to accept the terms offered by Turkey, he stated
that the ministry was prepared to carry them out, and do all in its
power to assist the country in the crisis; he, however, asked the Boule,
on behalf of the ministry, for a vote of confidence, that is, an
expression of belief that the ministers were doing the best that could
be done for the good of the country.

When Mr. Ralli had finished speaking, a member of the House rose to his
feet, and began to blame the ministry for all the ills that Greece was
called upon to endure. This turned the members against Mr. Ralli and the
rest of the ministers, and the vote of confidence was refused. Mr. Ralli
was thereupon obliged to send his resignation to the King.

King George has already chosen the new Premier, and a Greek prince of
high rank has been selected to go to Constantinople and arrange the
treaty, the Boule having decided to accept the terms offered.

Both Spain and Greece now have new ministers who are undertaking the
difficult task of piloting their countries through their difficulties.

that the war on the Indian frontier would be ended with the defeat of
the Haddah Mullah.

News has reached us that the British forces have once again been checked
by the tribesmen.

This time it was the Mohmads who were the victors. These men, if you
remember, professed themselves ready to submit to English rule, and when
the troops arrived in their neighborhood, offered their allegiance to
the British officers.

They were, however, told that to prove their good faith they must, one
and all, give up their rifles. Upon hearing this they became sulky, and
refused to do anything of the sort.

The British waited the two
