Violation of Greek Neutrality Com-
parea With llelKlum—The Deatruc-

—What Both Hay.
The king of Greece on last Thurs-
auronioned the Aaaoclated Press
correspondent In Athens for the pur
pose of making a protest through the
press of the United States against the
actios of the Allies in Greece.
The message left Athens on Thursr
day but was held up in Paris until
Tuesday when it was released after
a reply had been written by the
"hlgheet French authority” and sent
over the wires. Below are printed
both of the documents:
"It is the merest cant,” said the
king, "for Great Britain and France
to talk about the violation of the neu
trality of Belgium and Luxemberg
after what they themselves have done
and are doing here. I have tried in
•very way I know how to get fair
»ur in the British and French press
and to obtain a fair hearing from the
Brttiah and French public.
“No sooner had the British news
papers attacked Greece with the most
amazing perversion of fact and mis
representation of motives than I call

gave him face to face a full statement
of Greece's position. I have given a
most fraak statement to the French
press through one of the French
newspapers which had been most bit

you mean take London, Paris and
Petrograd, probably not. But I be

selves where they are for a very- long
time. If economic exhauatlon does
not force Germany to aue for peace, I
believe It will be very difficult if not
impossible to conquer her in a mili
tary way." . *
"Then what does your majesty
think will be the outcome of the
war?"
The kinit refilled: "A draw—
don’t you?”
By royal order the above interview
was countersigned "by Court Marshal
Merest!. I
To which the plea of tne Greek
king the "highest French authortty"
answers:
."The interview given by King Con
stantine of Greece to the Associated
Press," said this personage, “recalls
point by point, observations which,
both in matter and manner, show
groundlessness of his accusation
against the Allies.
“He reproaches the Allies with
ypocrlsy In talking of Germany's
violation of Belgium and Luxemberg
after what they have done in Greece.
But the Allies talked of the violation
before their own action and for the
excellent reason that Germany violat
ed the neutrality of Belgium . and
I-sixemlxTg without excuse or provo
cation and in the tajdat of peace,
whereas what passed In Greece inde
pendently of other consideration men
tioned further on la the consequence
of a long war characterized by the
ruin of small peoples by Germany.
"The king declares that the Allies
have occupied Greek territories with
out hts permission. There is no ques
tion of an occupation properly speak
ing but of a temporary use of certain
portions. As regards the Islands re
ferred to, the Kntente powers made
use of them provisionally because
Turkey had always refused to recog
nize Greek possession of tliem, a use
made with the tacit consent of Greece
which only protested for form's sake,
which negotiated on the subject with
the Allies making certain stipulations
as to methods of the utilization of the
islands and receiving in exchange for
mal promises as to' their purely tem
porary use, as to compensation for all
possible damages and even other
promises not unconnected with Greek
foreign policy. The Allies were every
where received by the population
with the greatest cordiality and were
found by them to be a source of profit
besides being provisioned by them

by the powers now violating it as was
the case ia Belgium, for the neutral
ity of Corfu Is guaranteed by Great
Britain. Prance, Russia. Austria and
' Prussia and yet that has not made
aay difference in their action.
"Aad what about that plea of mili
tary necessity? Where is the military
necessity of destroying the Demir-Hls-
sar bridge which cost a million and a
half drachme and which was the only
practicable route by which we can re-
victual my troops In eastern Mace

“The bridge was mined, it could
have been blown up on a moment's
notice at the enemy's approach. Jt
ia admitted that thfiXu was m> enemy
- MiyUfTTere near the bridge and no in
dication that any was coming. What
military reason wsm there, therefore,
to blow up the bridge now, except to
starve out the Greek troops around
Merres Ih-amina.’
“Where is the necessity for tlie oc
cupation of Corfu? If Greece is the
ally of Serbia, so also is Italy and
transportation of ..erbs tp Albania
and Italy would be simpler'than to
Corfu. Is it because Italians are re
fusing to aore|>t Serbs, fearing a
spread of cholera that the Allies
thtek the Greeks want to lie endan
gered by cholera any more than the
Italians?
"They say that they are occupying
Castelloriza, Corfu and other points
ia search for submarine bases. Ttf,e
British legation at Athens has a
standing offer of 2,000 pounds—a
great fortune to any Greek fisherman
—for any information leading to the
defection of a submarine base but.
never yet received any hews about a
submarine base In Greece and never
yet have any submarines been seen
supplied from Greece.
"The history of the Balkan politics
of the Allies is a record of one crass
mistake after another and now
through pique over the failure of
their Balkan calculations they try to
unload on Greece the result of their
own stupidity.
‘‘We warned them that the Galli-
|toli enterprise was bound to fail, that
negotiations with Bulgaria would be
fruitless and that Austro-Germans
would certainly crush Serbia. They
would not believe and now like angry
unreasonable children the Entente
powers turn uponjjreece..
"They have deliberately thrown
away every advantage they ever had
of Greek sympathy. At the begin
ning of the war 80 per cent, of the
Greeks were favorable to the Entente'.’
To-day not 40, no not 20 per cent,
would turn their hand to aid the
Alltai."
i ‘^Why does not you'* majesty not

"Perhaps I shall, but I do not feel
I can afford to disarm before the fate

It was tu replace the men that the
Allies west to Salonikl, st the request
of the Greek government, which
otherwise refused to mobilise.
"The arrival of the Franco-Britiah
forces at Salonikl baa drawn forth
only a purely formal protest and the
Greek military authorities have re
celved order to give them every
facility.
"The analogy between the military
necessities which rnllrd the Allies to
Snlnnlkl to help Greece's ally. Serbia
and those claimed by Germany for the
vlotetioa of Belgium simply does not
exist. The Greek people have received
the Allies cordially. The Greek gov
ernment. even before the arrival of
the Allies, had already shown favor
to the Serbians by granting them con
siderable facilities for the transport
of their armament as well as provi
sions. The Germans crushed the Bel
gians. who were defending their
country, in order to reach a peaceable
people beyond them.
“Greece s neutrality has from the
beginning been a benevolent one to
ward the Allies. This has been de
clared to thent_0XfjciaUy not etrty bjr
M -VentftTOS but also by his successors
several times, yet during recent
months the Greek government lias
liemtnted Germans and Austrians hi
violate Its neutrality by using the
Greek coasts and islands as a base for
provisioning their submarines. The
fact that no one has been able to
locate this base exactly proves the
cleverness of the Germans, but their
fury at the presence of the Allies at
Castellorizo,. Corfu and other well
known submarine nests shows the
reality of the organigati'on.
“It will one day be interesting to
learn the revelations made pn this
subject by the papers seized on con
suls and agents of the Germanic
quadruplic at Salonikl, Mytllene and
Corfu. It was from the coasts of
these islands or peninsulas that the
pirates who sank the Ancona and the
Persia sot out. How, then, since
that time, can one invoke even the
neutrality of Corfu where on the very
eve ot the French disembarkation
there was a complete general staff?
How can one invoke this neutrality
which was established as the condi
tion of a gift by England to Greece
and not in the Interest of Greece, but
in that of England.
“Is the presence of the Serbs and
the Allies at Corfu really a violation
of neutrality also openly violated by
the Germans? Since Greece Is un
able to succor her ally, notwithstand
ing a formal engagement to that ef
fect, how'can she refuse her asylum?
“As to cholera. It does not exist.

Well and Enter Jail Through Huge
—Murdered Men Were Taken In
Autos and Hung on Side of Public
Highway.
Forty or fifty men, acting with
precision Indicative of carefolly
laid plans, took five negroes fxjpiu
the Worth county Jail at Sylvester,
Ga., Thursday night, carried them
in automobiles to Lee county and
hanged them all to one limb of a
tree close by the side of the prin
cipal road heading into Starkville.
The negroes were being held in the
Worth county jail In connection with
the killing of Sheriff Moreland, of
Lee county, who met his death at the
hands of negroes in Worth county
during the Christmas holidays. Stark
ville is a hamlet three miles from
Leesburg, the county seat of Lee
county.
\ Cutting all wires leading north
from Sylvester was included in the
plans of the party. For that reason
the fate of the negroes was nol defi
nitely knoxvn until Friday, hours
after they had beer
were quickly take^
loaded into automo
north, but nothing
was known for some fhqe. The
bodies, perforated with bullet^holes,
were told when found Friday morn
ing. '
At about top o'clock TliunMlay
night. Sheriff L. A. Potts at Sylves
ter, was awakened by four or five
men who announced that they had
raptured a negro ami wanted to place
him in Jail. They were admitted
hearing a negro bound with ropes.
Suspecting nothing. the officer
watched the men as they calmly
loosened the bonds.
Suddenly the situation changed,
however, as the visitors seized the
officer and demanded the keys to the
cells.
At that moment several automobiles
were driven In front of the Jail. The
men hurriedly entered, joined the
men who had preceded them and all
who did not watch the sheriff, helped
get the negroes.
They were rushed out of the Jail,
bundled Into the machines aad all
started north at a rapid pace. The
sheriff immediately attempted to r*
sort to the telephone to bead off the
party but It was toon ascertained
that all Hnea north were out of order
and later it was learned the wires
had been cut.
The bodies were found by Lee
county citizens who were out on the
/oada early Friday, apparently under
the'Impression that there was reason
to believe that if any of the negroes
wers taken from the Jail they would
be taken to Lee county, where Sher
iff Moreland was poplar.
Going out from Starkville a short
distance, they encountered the ghast
ly scene of the five men hanging to
one limb within full view from the
road. Apparently they had been
strung up and then became targets
for the tpen who had taken them
from jail.
Four of the victims were of one
family -Felix Lake and his three
sons, Frank, Dewey and Major. The
fifth was Rodins Seamore.
It vas believed, however, that
James Keith, a negro, was the pris
oner moat wanted far the lynchers. It
was said that there was more evi
dence against him than any of the
others.
Sheriff Potts, however, had taken
the precaution to remove him several
days ago to some .other jail, the loca
tion of which he has not divulged.
Moreland was killed at the home
of Felix Lake when he went there to
arrest a negro. It was reported that
more than one of those in the house
shot him and all were arrested later.
Reports from Oakfield Friday were
that eight automobiles passed
through there late Thursday night
going towards Leesburg. I^esburg
citizens also reported that eight ma
chines passed through that town at
about twelve-thirty o’clock Friday
morning. Starkville Is three miles
from Leesburg, which is between
eighteen and twenty miles front Syl-
▼ester.
Sheriff Potts Friday stated that
the men made no attempt to molest
the twenty-three other prisoners in
the jail.
This was the first Lime that the ques
tion of votes for women has been pre
sented seriously and fought for de
terminedly on the fldor of the House.

that tt fatletT io receive a majority

Would Aboilwh Free .Scholarships; ~
Senator Verner, of Oconee county,
charges that there is a “great deal of
fraud and downright graft under the
present law" relating to free scholar-
They were soon fo^thcomio«.f|■ hi P• ln the ^lou* colleges of the
State. Senator Carlisle, of Spartan
burg, says that this business of false
swearing by people to get free educa
tion who are able to pay should be
stopped.
There is nothing misty about these
utterances They are distinct; they
are affirmative. The senators say
that the la wrelatiag to scholarships,
which allows free tuition, has become
a vehicle of private graft. They
charge that parents or children have
sworn falsely In order to secure an
education through the bounty of the
State, when the parent was able to
give the child the education.
The amount of money, which is ex
pended each year by the State gov
ernment. for scholarships and . free
tuition totals 1132,000. according to
the figures of the Oconee senator. He
says this money is given to the favor
ed few. to the children of those well
able to pay for the education of their
children, and that Chose for whom
the charity was intended do not get
the benefit of the bounty of the com
monwealth. 1
It is probably a fact that many of
the scholarships now being used in
the State colleges are held by those
whose parents are able to pay their
way. It is also very probably a fact
that many of the free luIlIons*feiven
at'the various state institutions are
being used by those who have the
money to pay for their instruction.
The senators are aware of the laws
which the legislature in the past have
passed to protect the abuse of these
scholarships. It was not contemplat
ed that thq State pay the expenses of
those able to bear their own burdens.
The idea of the law, according to our
information was to give the scholar
ships to those boys and girls who
would .not be able to attend college
witYibut such aid. If.these laws have
been violated an investigation of the
matter should disclose those who
have »sworn falsely Ajld proper
steps could be taken to stop the
“graft” ami to prevent Its recurrence^
Of the 613 students at the Uni
versity of South Carolina all but 166
are receiving aid from the bounty of
the State; 226 'having free tuition
and 48 having, in addition to free
tuition, scholarships valued at $100.
Greek government was so little^ ctunr I students at Clemson
vinced that the Gallipoli entertvrtstf College all but 110 are beneficiaries
would be a failure that they tried by
every means to take pdrt in it and it
wfas only their exaggerated demands
that caused their co-operation to be
refused. If the enterprise had been
a failure and° the Serbs have been
crushed, the fact is due to Greece’s
declining to fulfill her engagements
as an ally towards Serbia an<J allow
ing her territory to be surrbunded'Tjy
the armies of her bitteres*. enemy.
"As to the sympathies "of the Greek

the Entente, was cheered by thou

.Allies continue at his request to ad
vance money to Greece for its mobili

no longer Greek if the Allies are
Iriven from it. Then why does he
want to persuade the Allies to go and
why does he not take hla place beside
"Concerning his opinion abont the
*es,ult of the war, It-is pleasant that

and 191 having, besides free tuition,

Of the 899 students at Winthrop
College only 116 pay their tuition;
650 get free tuition and 125 get free
tuition and scholarships valued at
$100.

their pay is a great deal better at the

people, it is enough to examine the . . . . . . , . ...
figures regarding recent abstentions JLave scholarships and free tuiUon
which is valued at f300 for each in

The proposal In the Senate is to
abolish all of these free scholarships
and to make each attendant at a
State institution pay $40 a year for
tuition. In the eyes of the Oconee
Senator this' would help the State In
stitutiona, although he admits that
there may be a f.ew holding . free
scholarships who are worthy of them
but "they are.in a, hopeless minority
Senator Carlisle thinks tha measure
would help the denominstional col

have been subjected by the generosity

Carlisle suggests, take a promissbry
note from each providing for future
payment. We believe, however, that
the State should provide the educa
tion without such aid.
To. extend ^dd' to students un
able tor get to. any other colleges
would not be 'competing with denomi
national colleges; the practice does
not hurt them if the beneficiaries are
unable to attend college under otfief
conditions. It is only when parents
send their children off to State
schools on the plea of poverty, being
well able to pay their way, that the
denominational colleges are subject
ed to uneven competition. It is
caused, however, Ijw what the Oconee
senator tertns "grldt,” and Is in no
wise due to the innqrent possibility
of good which is in the idea of fpee
tuition and scholarships.
It would be a much better step in
our judgment if the OconOe senator
had asked for a thorough investiga
tion of the financial status of those
who are enjoying the beneficenee of
the State government with ^ view of
confiscating scholarships in the brands
of thoMe who have ap-right to thefti.
If the .law is being violated its obed
ience should be secured, and if this
is done, there will be no-reason tp
abolish all scholarships because of
"graft" on the part of some or be
cause they enable stale institptions
to compete unfairly with denomina
tional colleges.—The prangeburg

The Russians with strongly rein
forced armies are violently attacking
the Austro-Hungarians along the Bes
sarabian frontier. The Austrian offi
cial report says that between Topor-
outz and Boyan the Russians at sev- x
eral places entered the Teutonic
trenches and engaged the defenders
In hand-to-hand encounters. To the
northeast of Cznerowitz the Russians
claim to have captured an Austriah
sector and to have repulsed five des
perate pounter attacks.
The Russian official communica
tion tells of a raid on the: Black Sea
by Russian torpedo boats, one hun
dred and sixty-three sailing vessels
being destroyed along the Anatolian
coast. In the Caucasus the Turks,
Petrograd claims, were thrown from
their positions in the centre of the
long front, suffering heavy losses.
