created topographically for a naval station.
Has more natural beauty in its location and sur
roundings than any other city in Alaska.
Has doubled its population the past year through an
influx of permanent residents, brought here by the estab
lishment of new industries.
Has a modern, broad-gague railroad tapping the rich
copper deposits of the Kotsina-Chitina copper belt.

i .
grades are taught; four churches, four modern hotels,

and game fish are abundant, while a short trip on the
railroad brings the hunter within easy reach of bear,
mountain goat and sheep, moose and caribou.
Has for the sightseer and tourist the greatest natu
ral wonders in the world, the Childs and Miles glaciers.
Cordova today is on a more permanent basis than
any other city in Alaska; is assured of continued prosper
ity and a steady growth, due to the progressive develop
ment which its natural resources are now undergoing.
When the coal of the Bering river fields, now but 25
miles from the present railroad, becomes available, smelt
l i
ers will be erected here, and Cordova will become the
Butte of the North.

dustries and resources of Cordova and vicinity, the oppor

GREEK DEPUTY
APPEALS TO
ATHENS, Aug. 16. — Agamemnon
Schliemann, member of the Greek
chamber of deputies, and former
Greek minister to Washington, after
a conference with the leaders of the
! late government, has issued a state
I ment addressed to the Associated
j Press and embodying the point of
view of the Greek Conservative party
regarding the recent intervention of
the powers in Greek affairs. The
statement is issued in English:
“We have been profoundly humili
ated that those whom we have always
I considered the protectors of our na
i tional life and of our independence
j should have succeeded, by threaten
ing the use of brutal force, in inter
vening in the internal affairs of our
country.
"Strong in the conviction of our
right, it Is our duty to point out, the
cold facts as they are, not only to get
the great neutral powers of the world,
among which America holds so promi
nont a place, but also through the me
dlum of the American press, to point
out the same facts to the conscience
of the liberal people of Great Britain
and to the gallant French nation so
imbued with the immortal principles
of 1798. We cannot believe that the
people of these two countries have a
full knowledge of the attempt upon
our constitution, our national liberty
and our independent political existence
[ made by the governments of France
and Great Britain and their accredit
ed representatives in Greece.
"When two years ago Austria, by
her ultimatum to Serbia, demanded
j in addition to other claims that rep
| resentatives of her judiciary sit be
: side the Belgrade judges in invest igat
ing the crime of Serajevo, the whole
world cried that Serbian freedom was
being abolished, and a world war
seemed justified by this trampling of
a small nation's rights by one of the
great powers ofj Europe, when later
on Belgian neutrality was violated,
Great Britain thought herself justi
fied in taking arms against Austria's
ally in defence of the rights of a
weaker nation.
"Throughout this colossal carnage
all the neutral nations have repeated
ly told that this is a war for the liber
ation of mankind from the threat of
German militarism, for the protection
of smaller peoples from the encroach
ments of the stronger and more greedy
nations. How, then, is it possible
that the people of Great Britain and
France or that th* great Atneric
people should approve the high
handed methods by which the liber
ties and independence of tlie Hellenic
people were abolished by a few strokes
of the pen of the allied ministers in
Athens?
"The demands of the three powers
signatory to the note of June 21 are
known. Chief among them are the
dissolution of the Greek parliament
and the proclamation of new elections.
We Greeks are so constitutional a pen
pie that even while protesting against
the manner in which these new elec
tions have been forced upon us, we
would nevertheless respect the nation
al verdict of the polls if, us is stated
in the entente ultimatum, 'the elec
tions take place after the Greek elec
tors have returned to normal condi
tions of life.'
“But we ask the Impartial judgment
of America if a foreign naval and
military occupation of over half of
{Greece and martial law declared and
maintained throughout Macedonia
constitute such normal conditions of
life as will permit the free electors
of Greece to perform their duties us
citizens uninfluenced by the presence
in Greec of the allied troops, or if de
puties chosen under these circuni
j stances can honestly represent the
will of the nation expressed unham
pered by the influence of foreign
| bayonets.
"Would not elections held in Bel
I glum today under the heel of German
soldiery or in Serbia under the con
trol of the Austrians and the Bulgar
Ians be hailed throughout the world
as farcical? How then Is the case
of Greece any different from these?
"Since the beginning of the war
Greece has been benevolently neutral
towards the allied powers — not -Just
simply neutral. One might say with
out fear of exaggeration that Greece
has done everything but fight on the
side of the allies. But it Is not enough
that the allied powers have estab
lished naval and military bases on
every foot of Greek soil that they
have deemed necessary or useful to
them; nor that they maintain an
army 300,000 strong on> Greek terri
tory In defiance of every principle of
neutrality; nor that they exert iso
freely the right of Roarch in Greek
ports and Greek territorial waters;
nor that they tamper not alone with
the foreign, but also with the domestic
mails of Greece — they jiow seek to
take a hand in the purely internal con
cerns of Greece. It is just as if
Great Britain, on the ground that the
United States were once an English
colony were to demand that the con
gress be closed, new elections held—
and the dismissal of the chief of po
lice of New York.
%
"We are sure that America, who so
far back as 1821, sent ships from Bos
ton laden with supplies to help our
forefathers in their struggle for lib
erty, and who during our unhappy
war of 1897 sent an expression of
sympathy of the congress to the Greek
government, will not remain indiffer
ent in the present moment of our
trials. But what wc need most is
the Influence of American public opin
ion to get our case before the gener
ous people of France and Great Bri
tain, who cannot but be ignorant of
the true situation, ow-lng to the strin-j
gent censorship of the press which I
has closed to us the forums of Lon
don and Paris.
"The allied powers have proclaimed j
their purpose to defend the rights of!
small nations. Among the small na-l
tions is Greece, which became small I
through its agelong struggle for free !
dom and liberty, while it acted as a j
protective wail against which the bar !
barous forces of the east spent their*
momentum and made eastern domina-1
tion of the new civilized west Impos-}
slide. Let thp allied nations of Eu-1
rope, now fighting for that civiliza
tion for which we so long fought, |:
study our situation, consider our mo
lives and change, If possible, their
bitter policy toward us. Then, not-1
withstanding the blows which have!
fallen upon us lately, the humiliation !
and the pain in the soul of every!
Greek, the old sentiment deeply root
ed in our hearts of friendship for the j
liberal peoples of western Europe w ill :
spring forth anew, full of vigor, ready
to follow our oldest and dearest tra
ditions linking Hellenism to France “
and Great Britain, for the common j
benefit of humanitv and civilization." <
