The State of Mokanshan

To the Editor of the "Norra-Cama Datty News." Sir,—I have read with surprise the article in yesterday's issue, your paper, entitled "Mokanshan Notes, from a Correspondent." To my mind it is unfair and entirely misleading. The place has never been more attractive than it is this year, and the weather during usual spell of heat which visited past. fortnight in spite of the un-both mountain and plain for a short time, has been delightful. Who your unfortunate €orrespondent may be, I have no idea; but T think he or she must be very hard to please and have put little appreciation of the value of pure mountain air, wonderful cloud effects and infinite variety of colouring on the near and distant hills.

With one small Sr,—It is pleasant that philanthropic voice arises from time to time in aid of suffering Christians. As a Greek and Christian I render hearty thanks to the Editor of the "North China. Daily News" for the leader. which appeared in his paper on May 92. headed "The Unspeakable Turk," dealing with the massacre of ten thousand innocent Greeks.

In the above mentioned leader appeared the following: "Aad Greece entered the war on the side of the Allies her*ambitions would kava been attained with a moiety of the price which she has now paid - for defeat".. This statement is not true, and I will endeavour to explain why.

First of all did Greece help the Allies in the world war or did she not? The answer is, as all the sorid knows, that Greece did help \the Allies in the World War. The Greeks were always pro-ally, and were only prevented from joining the Allies earlier because of. the attitude of their Royal Family and therefrom the hard policy of the Allies towards the Greek people.
