Modem Diplomatic Struggle in City
of Ancient Strifes.
Athens, capital of Greece, and the
present capitai of strenuous diplomacy,
the uncertainty of whose future
course is now engaging the breathless
interest of all belligerent nations,
is described in the following
I statement issued to the press today
f " by the National Geographic society.
" 'Better fifty years of Athens than
a cycle of Cathay,' one writer phrases
^ it, and indeed, in respect to the greatness
of its past, the capital of the
Hellenes is queen among all the
earth's cities. In this marvelous
city, a civilization was born and
made perfect and complete in the
course of a few generations. It is
the foundation upon which rests the
? modern culture of the West; for
classic Athens is still.-the teacher of
the world and the final arbiter in
things of taste.
" 'Out of Plato,' says Emerson,
'come all things that are still written
and debated among men of thought.7
* It is, at least, certain, that all of the
germs of philosophic thought are to
be found in the teachings of the
Greek philosophers who sought their
following in Athens, down to the time
of Aristotle. In poetry, Greek genius
' created the forms and left models
St for all ages. - In sculpture and in
architecture, Grecian achievements
still stand unsurpassed; and the ruins
r * upon the Acropolis suggest structural
beauties never since attained,
while innumerable sculptural masterpieces
of the Greeks fill alcoves in all
the more important museums of the
world. Such was the wealth of-sculpV
tured treasures in classic Athens,
[ that one ancient wag declared it was
m easier to "find a god in the city of
A ; Pallas than a man.
'VTo Athenian Socrates, rather than
to any other savant before or after
him, belongs the honor of having
H|HM3illed into being that inductive, op^^^^Kmistic
science, which today forms
* ' * TTT.'lU
warp of our civilization. wmi
I Be homely, keen-witted and argu^mP^ntative
Athenian began that habit
of thought which hopes, in time, to
discover the answer to all "things in
i the things themselves. So, too, the
y dramas of the Greeks are still the
[ models of taste after more -than twenty-three
centuries, and Sophocles,
greatest of tragic poets, is yet to be
outdone. Aeschylus, Euripides and
Aristophones all part of the genius of
Athens, contributed to that limited
' Inheritance which is common to all
the world. In truth, the age of Pericles
overshadows the French and
> Italian Renaissance, the era of Elizaheth,
and the golden age of the Moors
in Spain.
"Athens today is a shrine for the
preservation of the memories of the
?TunrM nu'PS
flCOl WHICH LJUC liiUUCi i-l 11 v/i ?u W"
to the ancient Greeks. Most of the
treasures of the ancient city have
been looted and destroyed by strangers,
but enough is left to aid the
V ; Tisitor in crystalizing a picture of the
k city over whose destines the Goddess
W of Wisdom and Artifice presided.
W Persian, Spartan, Macedonian, Roman,
Venetian and Turk have plundered
and ravaged her. Priceless art
works and costly marbles have been
carried away to beautify other countries,
or have been wantonly destroyed,
yet, so* rich was the classic comv
monwealth that the remains of its
marble beauty and fragments of its
> ; < J embellishments still thickly strew the
whole pleateau of the Acropolis and
much of the area upon its sides and
& V base.
"Knw Athpns has erown up around
" ~
the remains of the mother city. At
( -the end of the Greek war for indefV.
pendence, it was little more than a
decayed Turkish village, a few crooked
byways and poorly built houses.
It is now a city of straight, regularly
laid-out streets, of graceful bouley
vards, airy squares, with many splendid
private and public buildings. The
museums of Athens are of first imporcance
to students of classic art,
and Athens, before the war, was fast
becoming again an international seat
yf of learning. It has developed a cery
tain trade importance in recent years,
y A great part of the Balkan import
jV. passes through Athens, and, in Piereous,
its port, are situated a number
of large mills and factories. The
population of modern Athens is about
170.000."

Had Explosion Occurred Structure
Would Have Been Badly Damaged.
Boston, Jan. 1.?An unsuccessful
attempt to dynamite the State house
.was made today. A bomb containing
four pounds of explosive was attachLed
to a basement door and a fuse had
been lighted, but the flame apparently
died before reaching the detonator.
Had the explosion occurred, in the
opinion of the police, the building
would have been greatly damaged.
The fact that tarred rope was used
as a fuse, according to investigators
indicated that the bomb was the wort
of a novice.
A scrub woman discovered the
HK bomb this morning.

MALARIA CONTROL.
Would Require Sanitary Survey of
Water Power Developments.
Discussing the frequency malaria
in South Carolina and' other
Southern States, as related to the development
of water powers in this
i InmAfi A Uoimo AT TA Qfo f D
I ?JQinco n. nak> u^, AVI. xy. ) ututv
Health officer, in his annual report
says in part:
"We believe a law should be passed
by the present general assembly
forbidding the impounding of waters
in South Carolina unless a survey by
| competent sanitary engineers has
i been made in advance and a report
'submitted to\ the State board of
| health, and an investigation made by
j the State health officer so that a reasonable
compensation may be made
! to 'those who would be affected by the
i impounding of streams. The attention
of the legislature is directed to
' the many suits that are pending in
South Carolina on account of the impounding
of waters without such a
survey having been first made. We
refer especially to the Parr Shoals
Hydro-Electric company and the
Georgia-Carolina Power company."
Dr. Hayne asserts that there are
three problems in controlling malaria,
the only conveyer of which is the
female of the anopheles mosquito.
These problems are: Getting rid of
breeding places, which involves the
draining and clearing of swamps and
the proper care of impounded waters:
screening of houses with 16 mesh
wire; the killing of malaria parasites
in a person who has malaria by the
use of quinine in sufficient quantities
and for a sufficient length of time.
A course in the cause and control
of malaria has been introduced in
several schools, where a primer written
by H. R. Carter, M. D., assistant
surgeon general,' United States public
health service, is used as the textbook.
War Voting in England.
The result of the first important
bye election for parliament since the
beginning of the war was unmistakable
significance. Two candidates
stood for Keir Hardle's vacant seat.
Both were Laborities, one being the
"official,"' the other the "unofficial"
candidate. Both supported the Government.
Between two such men
there would seem to have been little
choice. Yet the candidate who had
the backing of the South Wales
Miners' Federation was Deaten Dy me
sizeable majority of 4,000. The explanation
of this result is partly that
the "unofficial" candidate made his
campaign upon the issue of the energetic
prosecution of the war, while
his opponent contented himself with a
more moderate tone. But it is pointed
out that the unsuccessful candidate
had been connected with the Independent
Labor party and its antiwar
doctrines, and that this heavily
handicapped him in the contest,
such a result would be significant in
any election district in England, but
in the dristrict -which had sent to
Westminister the leader of the peace
element in the British Socialists, a
man of whose utterances regarding
the war had led a London
newspaper to call his atttention to an
order-in-council prescribing penalities
for giving aid to the enemy, it is conclusive
upon the point of Britain's determination
to see the war through.
?New York Post.
Patron Saint of Motorists.
More than local notice will be given
to the fact that upon the tamous Merrick
road, Long Island, a Catholic
church is to be built in honor of the
St. Christopher who has been designaed
as the patron saint of automobilists.
Perhaps the professional driver,
the chauffeur, was the most consider!
ed in this election. St. Chistopher's
name means "bearer of Christ;" because
he bore the young Christ across
a stream, he is the patron of all ferrymen,
serving them as St. Crispin does
cobblers, St. Josepfi the carpenters,
St. Agatha the women weavers, St.
Anne the embroiderers and St. Julian
the traveling salesmen. He simply
adds auto drivers to the ferrymen already
in his charge.
As a sport motoring would be
equally entitled to a patron: hunting
' has one in St. Hubert, and fishing in
St. Peter.?New York World.

SMALLPOX CAUSED TWO DEATHS.
State Health Board Reports Results
of Preventive Measures. ,
The results of the campaign carried
on by the State board of health
against smallpox by vaccination are
gratifying to health officials. Only
328 cases were reported to the office
between January 1 and November 1
of last year, which is a large decrease
over 1914.
There was a sharp outbreak in
Charleston in March, April and May,
with a recrudescence in July, but the
epidemic was stopped at 142 cases by
the efficient work of special agents
rvf +v>ck state* nnH ritv hoards of health.
\J 1 VUV I^VVVVV ? ?
Other outbreaks were reported in
Richland, Calhoun and Bamberg
counties, but in each instance the
ravages were stopped by prompt action.
There were only two deaths
from smallpox reported in the State.
"We, are glad to say," James A.
Hayne, M. D., State health officer,
says in his report, "that it has cost
the State less this year than it has
in many years and we hope to see
this cost less and less each year. We
believe, however, that we can promise
that for the next year or twc
there will be no widespread epidemic,
There are two strains of smallpox in
this country, one very virulent and
the other very mild. The virulent
strain has a very high death rate and
it is against this form that we are
insisting upon complete vaccination
of the population."
During the first nine months ol
this year the board sent out 44,7OS
vaccine points at a cost of $2,906.02,
