Mr. Henry Norman, the Daily Chronicle's commissioner at Athens during the earlier days of the Cretan trouble, did not return to the East after the time when he announced that private affairs called him back to London. Here he once took charge of the business of the Greek Wounded Fund, and became, in some degree, the centre of the movement of British sympathy with Greece. On the doors of hix room, as a member of the editorial staff, in Salisbury square, day and night, one may see the red cross banner of the Ambulance Society. He was the bosom friend and adviser of King George at Athens, and he is now the great personal authority in London on all things Greek.
