Le Nord, and some other Continental journals, publish a story
of an approaching intervention in Greece. The Government there.is going to pieces, so England, France, and Russia are to intervene, England occupying Nauplia and Syria, and France and Russia the Pincus. A commission, appointed by the three powers, is to dissolve the Greek Chamber and suspend the Con- stitution, and of course govern the country. All that does not sound particularly probable, though some such menace may possibly have been held out to the Greek Chamber, which certainly seems unable to form a government. It would be easier, one would think, to guarantee Greece for five years from external attack, withdraw the German lad who has failed so signally, and leave the Greeks to organize a government for themselves. If freedom means anything they would do it a great deal better than we can, though of course there is the frightful possibility that, like France, Greece might elect a ruler not of the Royal caste.
