Greek Rulers Enraged When Premier Venizelos
Showed Them Message Found Upon Freda von
Sternberg, Emissary to Emperor William.
By COLONEL GOUNARIS,
Formerly Confidential Secretary to the Now Exiled Greek King.
1 shall ruthlessly expoge the infa
mous and double-dyed treachery of
thol ex-King Constantine and his wife
Sophia. They were a pair of arch
conspirators against the liberties and.
honor of my beloved country
Tino and his wife would betray their
most inttmate friends if they believed
it ‘would further their personal am
bition. Without troubling you at
present with-my own affair, let me re
late, first of all, the extraordinary sto
ry of international intrigue connected
with their dealings with Freda von
Sternberg, who was their most trusted
gosbetween in their dealings with
u‘gr beloved brother, the Kaiser.
A von Sternberg was a woman
of middle age. Bhe was tall, stately,
angd though not to be described as
be ‘mi, was undoubtedly attractive
ang cinating. She was just the
sort of spy whom Sophia, domineering
ln“lu-temperod, favored. |
e was a clever linguist, spoke
Ffinc:l with a Parisian accent, Eng
lish of the Mayfair type, Arabic with
the flueney of a Turk. She was, too,
the intimate friend of Falkenhausen—
a name that sounds ill-omened to the
Tof all decent men. She was sac
rificed by the cowardice and weak
ness of the treacherous King.
An Extraordinary Message.
King Constantine dictated the fol
lowing letter on October 4, 1915, to
his brother-in-law, the Kalser, which,
translated into English, reads:
““The Allles can not win. We are
with you heart and soul. We shall
soon be ready to joln Turkey and Bul
afl. agajnst our common foe. My
erman-trained officers are ready at
any time. Venizelos and his crowd
can be suppressed. Urge no delay or
it may be too late. Falkenhausen hag
every facility as an officer of the
Grepg army. Greetings from myself
and Bophia."”
Constantine was so perturbed lest
hig precious letter should fall into the
lu.ngl of the Allies that he insisted
upon Freda copying it and herself
carrying the copy to the capital of the
German Empire,
TLet me say at once that 1 protested,
as any friend of c¢ivilization and right
must do. With all respect, I warned
his majesty of the growing power of
Venlzelos—one of the sturdiest of pa
triots and true:! of men Greece has
ever known—and even hinted that
such treachery would endanger the
very existence of the dynasty itself.

Here you have an insight int? the
real character of the ex-King of the
Hellenes.
1 have no hesitation in saying that,
ke his Queen, he was false, self
seeking, and unscrupulous, and was
ever ready to throw over those by
whom he sought to earry out his
schemes for personal advantage and
aggrandizement, %
But to do him justice I must say
that he would have been a better man
and a more worthy monarch had it not
been for Sophia. The flzure of the
Kaiser's sister, dark, imperious, sin-
Ister, was always behind him, and
over them both brooded, like a vul
ture, the Emperor Willlam himself.
Schgming in Private Room, |
Freda von Sternberg was summoned
to the palace, where I received her in
the King's private apartments. The
windows of the rocm into which she
was shown were screened, and the,
walls thick and sound proof. A door,
which fitted tightly into the panel at
one side, led to a library which the
King fvcupled exclusively.
Theke two places formed a center of
intrigue such as, I hope, has np coun
terpart in Eurotpe, for there were
weaved plots not only against the Al-
Hes, but against the 'i»:ulouc Greeks,
men who weuld willlngly have shed
the last drop of their heart's hlood
for their country. .
“You received a letter from my see
retary to copy?’ Tino asked, and
withoyt waliting for her to reply,
went on: “I want you to take it to
the Emperor personally. It is of the
utmost importance. The Allies are
gotting restive, and may at any mo
ment refuse to he put off with prom
fses of benevolent neutrality, Yod
can tell His Mafesty, in addition, that
we are dolng everything possible to
make Colonel Falkenhausen's mission
a syccess.”
Tino an Accomplished Spy.
The woman hesitated.
“Well?" asked Tino, impatiently.
“l was just wondering, sir, what
would happen if—if 1 am unable to
leave Greece. 1 am afraid that there
ara people who already suspect me,
and if they found this letter in my
possession——"
“Oh, you must take the risk of
that,” sald the King, adding quickly:
“Those who are in the service of a
State must always be prepared for
the consequences.”
“freda von Sternberg 1s one of the
most intelligent and useful women )
have ever met,” sulfl'flno. when she
had gone, *lt is nol the letter itsel!
whlcg matters most, There is a good
deal more that she will be able to
tell the Emperor. You see, she has
been in many places and knows much
thl.t’wlll be of service to His Maj
esty.” j
With these words Tino returned te
his llbrur{.
Playing the Double Game.
That afternoon he received in audi
ence a representative of the Allies
and solemnly assured him that the
kingdom would remain neutral, or if
Greece took sides at all it would be
against the Central Powers.
No sooner had the Allied represent
ative gone, filled with empty assur

of Prusiapism. Zumatos was not
only a soldjer, but a politician, with a
pretty considerable following, and
was one of the bitterest opponents
of M. Venizelos.
The interview now was momen
tous. It was the heginning of a plot
that involved my unhappy countiry in
civil strife and led to considerable
blooedshed.
Tino was excited and “nervy.” The
continual Mgessure of the Allies and
the growing feeling of distrust among I
the patriotic Greeks had made them
selyves felt unpleasantly.
Sophia, ton, was Impatient, and did
not fail to irritate her husband intc
taking serious and irretrievable steps
toward the end which they had in
view, !
Lespicably Cunning Is Tino.
The officer saluted when he en
tered the royal presence, and they
straightway began a discussion of
the situation. Zumatos, urged to
suggest some rapid and definite
movement, agreed it was high time
that some action was taken.
“But what are we to«lo?” he asked
with a gesture of despair. “Sarrail
is even now at our gates. The Al
lied navies could blow Athens out of
existence, and already your Majesty's
subjects are complaining of feod
shortage.”
A look of deep cunning crept into
Tino's face.
“lI am aware that there is dissags
faction,” he said, “but even that can
be turned to our advantage. You
have your paid agents—use them.”
“In what way, your Majesty?” in
quired Zumatos.
“Let them minglé with the revolu
tionary mob. The rebels have few |
firearms and less ammunition. Stir
them into armed resistance and then
let your men fire on the crowd.” |
Zumatos nodded. There was a light
of satisfaction in his eyes. This was
work after his own fashion.
“Shoot them down,” continued Tino
rising as he spoke and pacing the
floor; “that will teach them a lesson
which may be useful. It will im
press them with a consciousness of
our power, and incidentally it wil
cause the Wntente uneasiness. Wie
mud do something till the Empero
Is ready to help us”
Fury of the Royal Wife.
With Tino Venizelos was an ob
sesglon, a nightmare. a source of con
stant fear and irritation. And this
feeling was shared even intensely by
the Queen.
Again and again in her fury—and
she has an ungovernable temper—
Sophia urged the King to take means
to get Venizelos out of the way. '
Little does he know, even today,
of the many plots that were deyvised
to remove him-—plots whiech had their
origin in the ex-Queen's brain, and
which, but for' the loyalty of the
great QGreeks' followers, would have
been put into execution.
In this the royal! inspiration was
encouraged by the Kalser himself. 1
have in my possession a telegram to
Sophia sent out in a secret code by
the Emperor of Germany in January
of last year, when Sarrail and (Ad

I am speaking much of Venizelos
now, because it was from his lips
that we heard of the fate of Freda
von Sternberg. It was two days after
ghe had heen dispatched to Berlin
with the King's letter when Tino
was informed that Venizelos re

then the contrast between them flash

Tino’s eyes glittered ominously, and
his face was stern, set and resolute
Now and again his fingers strayed
nervously to his mustache and his
right leg, which was crossed over the

tion übout him which spoke volumes
“Well, sir?” Tino spoke abruptly,
almost sharply.
Venizelos paused as {f reflecting
and 'then plunged straight into the
subject appermost.n his thoughts.
“Your Majesty is in communication
with the Emperor of Germany,” he
inquired.
“And why not?" demanded the King
angrily.
“There is no reason Your Maljesty
should not write to Berlin, providing
the interests of Greece de not suffer,
replied Venizelos, “but the corre
spondence to which I am referripg
is a little unusual, and, with resp!ct
may I add, indiscreet.’
The Queen colored angrily, though
she remained silent. Not so the King.
‘With a shout he sprang to his feet
and faced Venizelos. Venizelos was
no dwarf, but Tino towered over him
His ds were clenched and his eyes
flashed. “Am I the King of the Hel
lenes?” he shouted. ‘‘Tell me, am )
‘the King?

King of the Hellenes,” 1 did not no-

‘slightest emphasis an the word “are!
~ "Then,"” replied Tino, “as the head
lof the army and as your sovereign I
tell you you have no right to control
‘my movements or to dictate my pol

“That is true in g sense,” reglied the
statesman, "“but there is another side.
Greece has every right to interfere
when her interests are at stake. Be
lieve me,” he added earnestly, “so long
as your majesty is in cccord with the
wishes and aspirations of the Greek
people you and your dynasty have no
truer servant than myself. But oth
erwise——"
He broke off abruptly. Theyx were
brave words. The veiled threat was
surely such as never before had been
acoressed to a reigning monarcl,
“And otherwise?” demanded the
King.
“1 ean not suppose an ‘otherwise’ is
possible," said Venizelos.
The Queen now spoke up for the
first time. I see again the rage, in
dignation, wonder mingled on hes
face, the hard set of her jaw, the
scornful eurl of her lips.
“Ingolent,” she exclaimed, “if I were
the King—" "
Venizelos bowed. o
“You are the Queen, madame,” he
said, “and I did not seek this inter
view with you—an interview which 1
know n\éust Ye painful to you both.
May I bé more explicit?’ He seemed
to address them hoth at once, and as
the%'_ did not reply, he went on.
“There has come into my possession
a letter to Rerlin couehed in words

That letter sets out that the Greek

Nearly a Million Autos and Ac
cessaries Stolen by Ring of
Bandits Qut West,
DETROIT. Febh. 9.—Confession
made to the Detroit police by Joseph‘
McDermott, alias “Joe Mack,” wlll‘
have a big bearing in clearing up the
theft of over $500,000 worth of auto
mobiles and §250,000 in accessorieg in
Detroit since January 1, 1917, |
In the arrest of McPermott the po
lice believe they have discovered an
important link in a chain of the most
up-to-date ‘‘underground railway”
for passing stolen automobiles from
the State yet found by Detroit offi
cials.
McDermott, a stripling of 17 years
has for days defied the combined ef
forts of both the police and certain
officlals of the Detroit Automaobile
Club to wrest from him any'informa
tion regarding his connection with
the ring of auto bandits whose dep
redations recently have struck terror
into the ranks of automobile owners
of the eity and State.
Adamant against every effort of
the police, who have grilled him for
days, the youthful alleged bandit re
fused to make any statement until
the sobbing appeal of his aged moth
er broke down his hitherto stubborn
defense,
The nature of McDermott's confes
gsion was a revelation to even the
police. Since January, 1817, auto
mobiles aggregating in cost more
than $500,000 have heen stolen, in ad
dition to abeout $250,000 worth of ac
cessories. The stealing of sutotho
biles has caused insurance companies
to advance their rates 50 per cent.
According to McDermott's confes
sion, as advance agent for the ring,
he made regular tours through neigh
boring States and took orders from
prospects who ‘desired to make a
good bargain on slightly used cars.”
In the meantime other members of
the band were nightly stealing cars
and sending them to outlying smaller
towns, where they would be held un
til McDermott advised their disposi
tion. It is alleged that city officials
in cities in Indiana. Ohio and Illinois
are even now riding in cars stolen
Lfrom citizens of Detroit.

any case, such a document ghould not
have been forwarded without the
knowledge and counsel of your majes
ty’s responsible Ministers.”
“Oh, this is too ingolent,” gasped
the Queen.
Letter Intercepted.
I thought at this moment that Tino
in his fierce anger, would have struck
Venizelos. But he restrained himself
with an effort.
‘M. Venizelos,” said Tino hotly,
“please be good enough to tell me
what you mean and why you address
me In this fashion, and remember, you
are speaking to your King.”
“I knw that,” replied Venizelos, as
calmly as If he were addressing an
undistinguished stranger. “I have
never forgotten it, and it is in the in
terest of yourself and your dynasty
that I am speaking to you now. It is
not well that the faets should be pub
lished, I suppose.” He looked at me
and stopped,
“Colonel Cournaris is in my confi
dence,” said Tino.
“Then I will speak out.” Venizelos
looked strong and urcompromising.
“In my possession is a letter to the
Emperor of Germany. It was taken
from a ®oman, Fraulein von Stern
berg, and is presumably from you.
“We, of course, are aw&e of the
woman's antecedents, and know that
she is in the secret service of Ger
many. She was intercepted and
searched and the letter was brought
to me."”
“Well,” said Tino, “although T am
not called ypon to give an explana
tion, I will tell you here and now thal
Fraulein von Sternberg has carried no
letter from me and that I never send
confidential letters by a woman.”
Could 1 express—at that moment—
my feelings and my inward contempt
for the man I called my King?

Marquis Mayeda, Observer'on the !,
s
Western Front, Says Valor |.
—— |
Is Unsurpassed. ;
s I
By CAPTAIN MARQUIS MAYEDA.|
Being in Europe during the first |
two years of the great war I had the j
opportunity of visiting the battle|
fronts in France, both English and
French, under Government order, |
‘'when I made close inspection of the )
operations of the various armles;
latter a manner not possible in ordi-|
nary times. After seeing so much ot |
war I'was glad to arrive baek in|
Japan at the end of 1916. I visited
Germany just hefore the war and was
there when the war broke out, so
that I saw something of war prepara
tions in that country also.
Of course it is not within my prov- |
ince at this time to enter upon a mili
tary disseration regarding the war
in Europe and what 1 saw there.
Perhaps the greatest and most im
portant lesson we have to learn from
the war in Europe is the necessity of
applying scientiic and industrial
pfxwer to military purposes. ' In the
old days victory was sure if soldiers
were bravae and outnumbered the ene
my. But in modern war mental ca
pagity, invention and strategy count
for as much as bravery and numbers.
The present war is remarkable sou
the number of ingenious engines of
destruotion it has brought forth, the
utilization of airplanes and motors
as well as submarines and gas for
military purposes.
Gains of the War,
Bravery and spirit are not less im
portant in war than formerly, but the
application of science is also veryl
important in modern war. The peo- |
ples of Eurcpe are expending their,
best blood and incalculable sums of
money in this war; yet it is not all'
loss, for the war is eradicating the
indolence.of the nations and arousing !
a spirit of self-sacrifice and thrift that
did not before reveal itself in a prac- |
tical way; while the military spirit‘
developed is one that Japan might
well envy.
As one of the Allies, Japan is also
fighting the common enemy with al]
her strength, especially through her
navy, which is now engaged in very
dangerous and arduous service in the |
Mediterranean; but geographical dis- |
tance prevents her taking a more ac- |
tive part in the operations on land. |
For the same reason the people ofl
Japan are not aroused to the impor
tance of the war to the same extentl
as people are in Burope. This is a
fact much te he regretted.
Japanese Spirit.
Japan has long been proud of her
national spirit; but even the best
metal does not shine so well without |
polish. National spirit is something |
that rusts without due attention. I.|
is a question whether our national |
spirit at present is in a condition to !
envy that of the nations of the West. |
Japan is behind Occidental coun
tries in mechanical equipment and
power; hut her national spirit should
be second to none. Japan has long
been proud of Yamato Damashii:
(Japan-Spirit) as something unexcel- !
led anywhere insthe world; and her !
people have never been afraid of war I
The Japanese spirit is especially good
in time of emergency; and in the past
it has delivered the nation from many
a danger, But Japan should not for
get that other nations have their
national spirit, too, and that they are
now eultivating it to the highest de
gree of effectiveness. I would net
utter_a word in denreciation of our
national spirit; but I fear we may not
at present be cultivating it and mak
ing it shine to the same extent as
the people of Rurdpe are.

the most conspicuous thing about her
as a nation; it was knowp and praised
of all men, All the Wmd feared tq .
challenge it in military offensive. Bu
how does the martial spirit of Japan
compare with that now displayed
among the belligerent nations of the
present war? It has alwaysmeeu be
lieved that Japan, was victorlous in
the war with Russia solely because of
her national spirit. A close study of
the battles of the Russo-Japanese War
by experts reveals the fact that the
offensive power of a Japanese force
does not begin to decline until it has
suffered a loss of from 7 to 10 p?
cent; and after a loss of from 30 %o
40 per cent there is little affensive
power left.
But in battle a loss of betwe{n 700
and 800 out of every 10,000 is keenl
felt, and losses of as many as 4,00%
out of 10,000 must be regarded as very
severe, and when the 10ss is over that
the case may be considered hopeless.
The offensive power and spirit of the
Allied forces in Europe, however, have
not been inferior to those of the Jap
anese, and in some cases much su
perior.
In the battle of Verdun the German
attacks did not fail until more tgan
6,000 in 10,000 were lost. This i§ a
greater percentage than ever seen in
Japan, and we can not any longer be
proud of our pre-eminence of fighting
spirit.

Congress Expected to Vote Almost
Unanimously for Vital War
Measure.

from the wear and stratn of the war
an bour sooner than at present.
No measure in recent years has
been supported by the scholars ang
students-of economics as generally g
a daylight saving bill. Marcus M,
Marks, of New York, chairman of thg
daylight saving movement, has heen
active in furthering the cause of the
measure, and a year ago President
Wilson gave it his indorsement by
writing to Mr. Marks: “T would have
been glad to back up any movement
which has the objects of the daylight
saving movement.”
A thorough study of the effect of
the measure has been made abroad
as a fuel saving measure. Last win
ter in England, when it was in effect
five and a half months, It saved in
fuel $12,000,000; and in France §lO -
000,000, while in Berlin it hs been
found to have been just as beneficial,
With Congress conversant with al
these facts, there is little doubt put
that a daylight saving bill will b«
passed at this session,
