French Officer Tella of Honesty of
Greek Statesman When His Career
Was Beginning.
A French officer, now retired, who
many years ago commanded a detach-
ment of infantry in the tsland of Crete,
with much pride the photograph of a
Greek statesman whom he knew in
that earlier time as the mayor of a
small Cretan village. The island was
then lacking in roads and the com-
mandant of the detachment was
charged with the construction of those
which were the most necessary.
Immediately the mayors of the
neighboring villages came to see the
commandant to persuade him to have
the roads traverse their localities. Ao-
customed to the morals of their Turk-
ish masters, they tendered this officer
sums varying from 2,000 to 8,000
francs. The officer refused these of-
fers. Alone of all his colleagues M.
Venizelos, then mayor of a little vil
lage, made no offer to him and this
brought to him the friendship of the
wandant. One day this officer sald
to M. “You are a suffl-
ciently intelligent man not only to be
honest, but to believe in the honesty
of others, You will surely succeed.”

In certain parts of France the rapid
increase of game {is threatening the
crops. It has necessary to
authorize the wholesale killing of rab-
bits, deer and boars, and in some
cases even of hares and pheasants.
The sale of the rabbits and boars hes
been permitted, but the pheasants and
hares were reserved for the ambu-
lances and hospitals. With the ob-
Ject of relieving the markets, M. Jules
