It.?Tho question of succession jto the throne of King Alexander of (Ireece tufTls world in? terest once more to southeastern Eu? rope. The changes Greece has un? dergone territorially and the part it has played in the wars and crises of its corner of the world are discussed in the following buleltin issued by the National Geographic society: 'What is Greece? 'In the light of the past the an might well be tentative, for a ieflnition of Greece's area at any time during the thousands of years >f its history would have held good hardly for a Quarter century; and in latter years, so swift have been the changes in the New Greece, each de? cade has seen the fixing of new boun? daries. Grooee "A Sea Surrounded by Land" "Not until modern times?except during the momentary empire of Alex? ander?has 'Greece' meant a nation. In the Grecian Golden Age, as well as before and since, Greece was a house divided against itself. Its detailed history would mean the history of , more than 150 separate states. And et there was at all times some feel? ing of riehenlc nationality even though the rivalries among the va? rious groups stood in tho way of fu? sion into a single nation. "While Great Britain may be de? scribed as a land surrounded by seas, Greece may be said to be 'a sea sur? rounded by land.' .The Hellenes have always been a sca-faring folk, and the Mediterranean sea and more par? ticularly thn Aegean have been their ] own particular 'herring ponds.' The islands of the eastern Mediterranean eeanv (Ireek territory in their en? tirety, and this was true also of the s lund-lii;e Peloponnesus .and some 'liter portions' of the Greek penin? sula. But an equally important it of Greece?or better, of the land of the Hellenes?were the settlements j ide by Its mariners on the shores of the mainland that hem in the Medi erranean. These settlements constl- , Luted an unbrokenn fringe of Hellas along the shores of Asia Minor, and , spattered communities on the shores of Italy, in Sicily, even in northern , Africa aad what is now southern France. This was the loose 'Greece' 1 or Hellas at its greatest?a domain : of one people but of many states. Greece find League of Nations Against External Aggression. "Greece gave the world Its first. League of Nations: the DeHgn League, organize,i in 4 4 7'P.. C. by way of mu? tual protection against the 'external j aggression' of/l'ersia. which had a ] sort of Berlln-to-Bagdad ambition of j it? own in those days. Athens was ? the only 'principal power* in this , league and was the recognized leader f of the organisation. t "Later came the hegemony of Ath- , ops by force, tho paradoxical empire >f a democracy, bereft even of the | trapping:; of monarchy. At this period | and under what may be termed the , empires of Sparta and Thebes, a close , approach to -a Greek nation may be \ said to have existed; but In none of ( these eras were most of the territories , peopled by Greeks included, and even largo parts of the Greek peninsula it? self were governed by other Hellenic 1 states. For a brief period under Alexander the Great, Greece reached the status of a nation, but it was a t'ysion forced by a virtual outsider and contained much territory inhabit? ed by others than Greeks; and on the death of the great military genius ; the Hellenes separated again into nu? merous governmental units. "Greece, expanding from the city ' state, had comprised for a moment almost tho whole civilizoj world; but the m eat dilation was followed, by an equally great contraction. Greece fell under the rlslnp: power of Rome, and became a mere province in the western empire. "The military ability and power of the Greeks died under the Roman yoke; hut when the Eastern Empire was formed with Constantinople as its seat, Greek culture conquered where. Greek arms could hot, and Byzantium became in reality a great Greek state. Once myore the territory that by con? struct ?on at least, can bo regarded as Greece, spread outward until it held within its boundaries much of south? eastern Europe. It Is on reviving tho glory of this period in Grecian history that Greek amb'tion, when it could live at all, has dwelt. Greece Snuffed Om "Territorially "The night of Greece's martyrdom was not under the Roman yuke but in the long period from the fall of Bvaantium to modern times. During that time Greece was all but snuffed out territorially while the blood of its people suffered dilution from the hordes of conquerors and immigrants of almost every nation of Europe that poured in upon It?Albanians, Slavs, Teutons, Spanisn, French, Venetians, Turks.

The new Greece which emerged under the Joint pro? tection of Great Britain. France and ?

The Greek Mag flies al? most within a stone's throw of the Dardanelles?a hare f?u miles from, Constantinople. Greece has advanced far toward attaining her. ambition. "Tho modern Kingdom of the Hel? lenes?as Greece is officially known? has had five rulers Not one has served until his natural death or vol? untary abdication. Tho first ruler, president of the abortive Greek re? public, organized before independence was entirely assured, was assassinat? ed. Otto, prince of Bavaria, who was given the throne in 1832, was deposed in 1862. Prince George of Schleswig Holstein, who was then called to the throne, ruled for lifty-one years but was assassinated in 1913. His son Constantino was deposed in 1116 be? cause of his sympathy for the German cause. The death of Alexander, who succeeded Constantino, was due to an unusual accident." French Cook? ing Decadent World War Said to Have Killed Art of Pastry Making Paris, Nov. 10.?The art of cooking in France and the excellence of the pastries are passipg, say some pessi? mists.
