not put him out of the conquered country.

All the rest of the Powers at once began to abuse Germany; but, if the
blame for this disgraceful situation is to be properly bestowed, it will
only be right for each of the Powers to take an equal share of it.

Had the Powers not upheld Turkey in the Cretan trouble, the chances are
that there would have been no war, and Thessaly would now be peacefully
and prosperously gathering in her harvest, instead of being robbed and
plundered by a cruel foe.

Once having joined together to assist Turkey to regain her position
among nations, it seems foolish for the Powers to try and throw the
blame on any one of themselves; they are all equally blamable.

It is said that King George is preparing to leave Greece.

There has been a bitter feeling against him since the failure of the
war. The people declare that the disgrace of the Greek arms was due to
the fact that the King officered his army with Court favorites, who had
had little or no military experience.

It is stated on good authority that the King is now barricaded in his
palace, and that the Powers have been appealed to, to protect him from
his people. It is feared that nothing but the presence of foreign
warships in the Piraeus prevents the people from rising and trying to
overthrow the monarchy.

The captains of these ships are under orders to land the men under their
command at the first sign of trouble, and join with the police in
restoring order.

A special guard of the most trusted citizens has been recruited to help
the police in their daily work, and it is hoped that as soon as the keen
edge of their disappointment has worn off the people may return to
their old affection for their king.

The _Naniwa_, with the Japanese Commissioner on board, has arrived
safely in Honolulu.

There was considerable excitement among the crowds of Japanese that
lined the streets and the docks to greet the Commissioner, but there was
no disturbance of any kind. The Commissioner was politely received by
the Hawaiian Government, and no unfriendly feeling was shown by any one.

The Commissioner, whose name is Mr. Akiyama, stated that he had come on
a friendly errand. His Government had been told that the Hawaiian
Government had refused to allow Japanese emigrants to land on the
Sandwich Islands, and he had come over to investigate the matter.

He
