the Shadows of War Channs
of the Mediterranean
Scene.
IUbbl Max J. Merrltt of Evansville,
Ind., an Omaha boy, touring tho near
east, devoted & portion of his time to
a tour of Greece, and tire an impres
aire sketch of portions of the ancient
nation as they appeared through the
shadows of war last month. Writing to
his parents hero he says:
"I am on the Mediterranean again. Our
boat la lying at anchor In the wide cre
cent harbor of the Island of Mytlleno off
the coast of Asia Minor. X Just came
In from a halt-hour at the rail drinking
In tho matchless beauty of a -wonderful
Medltcrancan night. Close to us, the
black bulk of a Greek warship guarding
tbla Island captured early In this pre
ent war from the Turks, looms across
the dark waters. Tito harbor lights cast
lone reflecting gleams down Into tho
wave that lap the shore. Hundreds of
tiny points of fire, like fire flies, ahlne
on the alopes of the great black ridge
that forms the backbone of the .Island.
Orerhead the night has Unrolled an un
exampled display of brilliance such as
only these clear Medlteranoan skies are
capable of, while low on the horizon, Just
above the dim line of the Asia Minor
coast, the moon has risen, a great yel
low disk, gleaming out of the starry sky,
and shining down In a long shimmering
goldenband across the gently moving
waters, a glittering path way across the
black beauty of the quiet waters. The
beauty of the Mcdlteranean both day and
night, exhausts one's vocabulary of su
perlatives. I have cruised almost the
entire circuit of the Medlteranoan and
when I have not sailed I have Journeyed
by horse nnd camel-back and I am pro-
pared to say that It Is unique In Inter
est and in loveliness among all similar
bodies of water on the face of tho globe.
An 15'scnrslan Into Greece.
"I am on my way to Constantinople
now and by tomorrow 1 should go through
the Dardanelles and Into the city that
for the last six months has occupied the
center of the world's eye For the last
two weeks I have been traveling: in
Greece to which country I was bound
when I wrote you my last letter. I
hall always remember my Groece excur
sion. Every foot of Greece Is historic
and. like I'alestlnean soil, the soli ot
Greece mokes a universal appeal.
There is so much for which the wholo
world Is indebted to Greece, that an
American can view the old battle ground
and precincts sacred to the gods of Olym
pus' with the same feelings ot pride and
pleasure as a native born son of this
historic land. I felt that way when I
lode out to tho battlefield of Marathon,
when 2,200 years ago 10,000 Greeks met
100,000 Persians on the open field and ad
ministered tho crushing dofeat that was
chiefly instrumental in saving Europe
from being Orientalised.
"What an imposing battle ground it 1st
From the blue Una of the Bay of Mara
thon a level plain stretched for two
miles to the foot of a scml-clrcle lot
lofty hills when one can almost imagine
the gods of Olympus had assembled to
look down upon tho momentous conflict
that was to be raged below. From the
loot of these hills tho Greek phalanxes
charged across that level pluln upon the
overwhelming numbers ot their enemies.
3Ilstory tells us that there was one spot
on tho field when the struggle was most
bitterly fought, and where, the battle was
decided. It was at this spot almost In
the center ot the field that most of the
Greeks who were killed fell, And here
the victors hurled their fallen corilrades,
raising over them a huge mound. With
alt the vlslssltudes of time that have
swept away tho various monuments ot
Greek art and glory, that mound has re-,
rnalned untouched and stands today un
adorned by any column ot granite or
bronse, the century-old simple memorial
at Greek valor. I climbed that mound,'
tind spread my noon-day lunch under a
laurel tree on its summit. I also had
myself photographed on the ton, and 1
ihall valuo that picture for the memo
ries it will call up of a memorablo day's
excursion In ancient Delphi.
In Ancient Delphi,
"Another ot the most beautiful and In
teresting of my days in Greece I spent
at Delphi, the ancient sacred temple prt
clnct that rose round the shrine ot tho
Delchfo Apollo built when the Pythian
priestess gave out nor oracles, the or
acles that for almost 1,000 years decided
the fa(e of men and nations. It w.ia to
this oracle that the Greeks went for
the answer to the question whether they
should resist Persia and the answer
mfeda a wonderful page In history. It
was to this same oracle that Alexander
the Great went to ask whether he should
go on his great expedition, and the an
swer he received led to the conquest of
the wprld. Indeed, of all tho famous
places In the, world the Oracle ot Delphi
cosily holds a place In tho front ranks.
And It is just the place the ancients
would naturally select for a eacred place
a spot of such wonderful natural beauty
that It Impels to reverence and worship.
It hangs on a lofty slope Just under tho
heavcn-plerclng peaks of Mt Parnassus.
All around great mountain ranges fall
away Jn peaked and craggy masses,
broken by gorges whose smooth rock
walls, almost perpendicular, 'descend
thousands of feet to silver streams with
belts ot green trees along the banks.
"To the south the ring of giant ranges
open, giving one a magnificent and awe
inspiring vista over tho blue waters of
the Oulf ot Corinth and beyond to where
Why Endure Sore Feat
Here is Positive Easy Care
The following1 is saidkto be the surest
and quickest cure known to solonce for
all foot ailments: "Dissolve two table
spoonfuls of Caloclde compound in a
basin of wsrra water. Soak the feet In
this for fully fifteen minute, gently
rubbing the core- parts." The effect is
really wonderful. All sore.
ness re Instantly: the feet
feel delightful Cores and
callouses coa be peeled right
off. It gives Immediate relief
for aore bunions, sweaty,
smelly and aching feet A
twenty-five cent box of Cal
oclde Is aald to be sufficient
to cure tho worn feet. It
works through the pore and
removes the cause of the trouble. Don't
waate time on uncertain remedies. Any
druggist has Caloclde compound in stock
or he can get It In a few hours from his
wholesale bouse, Air,
the musty tops of the mountains ot the
Prloponetsus are penciled aoross an axure
sky. High up under the crest of Mt.
Parnassus the Greeks built a temple over
the mysterious opening from which rose
the sulphuric fumes that induced the
strange trance by which tho Pythian
priestess was supposed to be able to
look far into tho future, and as the years
went by they added temples, buildings,
shrines, monuments and columns, until
this wonderful spot wns a forest of mar
ble structures. I climbed among the
ruins of that stately grandeur that onco
was, and from the remains that stilt
stand and the treasures of beauty that
stock the museum built close at hand,
one is safo in saying that Delphi In the
days of Its prlstlva powers and glory
was one of tho noblest and most beautl-
iui spots tho world has ever seen.
Inipiinlficr Ilulnn.
From Delphi I went by boat and rait
to the great shrine of the Olympian Zens
at Olympic, where, on the mountain top
adjoining tho Greek gods were supposed
to assemble for tho great banquets when
the nectar of the gods was quaffed. It,
too, is an Imposing mass of ruins where
time has dealt hardly with the magnlfl- j
cent temples and, shrines tho Oreeks i
took hundreds of years' to build. One of !
tho most Interesting things hero Is the
great "stadium," where every four years
the great Olympio games were held and
all the athletes of Oreeco contended for
the laurel and the palm. With some
American friends I wandered through
these vast ruins Jn tho moonlight when
the moon was at tho full nnd under
the ghostly light It reaulred hut utiu
imagination to peoplo this old historic as
sembly place of tho Greeks with phan
tom figures of the priests, the philoso
phers, tho poets, the aoldleni, statesmen
and the athletes, who came here to the
Place where nil Greece thronged and re
ceived here the Inspiration that made
Greece Immortal.
A TnrkUli Funeral.
"I visited old Corinth, too, and while
hero I saw a moat Impressive ceremony.
There ore 1,000 Turkish prisoners In cap
tivity at Corinth and the day I was thcro
a Turkish prisbnor. who had died in the
hospital, was to bo burled. The prisoners
formed in marching column to carr
their comrade to the grave, dug In an
open field close to tho Greek barracks.
I went with an American Greek soldier
to tho improvised cemetery. The body
was taken from the bier by a group ot
Turks and washed and prepared fot
burial on somo rough pine boads laid
on the open field. When this preliminary
operation was over the Turks placed the
bier beneath the Turkish colors and
marshalled themselves In long parallel
lines facing tho south toward Mecca,
"A captlvo priest or 'mullah stood in
front also facing to tho south, ami
lie chanted the Koran servlco for tho
acaa, tno whole body echoed It in unison,
'salaaming as they did so three times,
that Is, stretching forward on the sand
and touching the irround with th, fnr.
heads, tho rising and mlnnmina-
loje with such perfect precision that it
loonea iiko a great machine making a
hiwsi soiemn ana impresslvo farowoll,
After this tho body was takon from ih
rudo coffin and put Into tho open grave,
while a detail of Greek soldiers fired tho
salute. Tills Is another plcturo of war
that It might be well for every enthusiast
for military glory to see. And there are
others.
Hardships of Wnr.
I have seen In Greece, that hn
tho keen edge ot hardship brought by war
naraesi. The Greeks are pre
paring4 for tho war with Buhmrta ahrt
are calling tho last batch of recruits to
the colors. I came up from Snarl n
Athens with a trainload of Spartan re.
cruits, boys ranging in .ago from 17 to
22, With horo and there an niU mnr,
One of these older men, I Judged him to 1
be about 30 or 32. was brought down to
" "y"iao station ty his family, an old
father, white haired, hobbling on a stick,
a bunch of young brothers and sisters
ranging In age from 8 to 14 and a young
wife. She was the last to say irood.hv.
to put him on the train with words or
caution and care and as the train miui
out, with the hands ot the young recruit
miea with wild flowers that the children
had brought, tho young peasant wlfo
covered her fpco with her anron nd fnn
h long- time I could see her standing In
tne same spot, hor body shaking with
sobs. and more vividly than ever beforo
in my life I realized that there was on
other side to war than that represented
by tho cheers of tho dopartlng recruits
and that this woman was making a
greater sacrifice than any of them.
"Altogether my Greek trip was most
illuminating and instructive, and I left
tho Piraeus feeling hat I had added to
the sum total ot my knowledge and ex
perience. Blnco starting thts lottor I
have passed tho Dardanelles and landed
at Constantinople."
