The holding; By The United Press ATHENS, Aug. 5 A revolution broke out today in Candia, on Crete Island, center of the recent revolt of Eleutherios Venizelos, leader.

The Government declared martial law' and dispatched two destroyers and five bombing planes to the island. Fifty persons were reported seriously injured in a fight at Candia. The uprising started, it was learned, as a labor dispute and developed into revolt when Veni-zelists, supported the workers. Crete is the native island of Venizelos, now in exile in Paris. Cretan laborers, demanding higher wages and shorter hours, attacked and occupied the prefecture and other buildings after signaling their outbreak by ringing church bells.

Ever since the Venizelist revolt, Greek public opinion has been excited over the monarchical problem. The Government has promised a plebiscite on the question whether former King George should be returned to the throne. company 'death entence'' the; A i cultural i Adjustment Ad- minis tration A processing taxes blamed bv Re- 'If tiv publicans CD '14 mployment imoae Island Dr. and Mrs. tea in JT.

Finds Romance There He already had found romance in South Africa, having met a young woman missionary from Tama, when he was in Egypt. Mrs. Lambie and the two children accompanied him when he entered the feudal land now threatened by the Black Shirts. In the treasured pile of personal letters and travel accounts which Mrs.

Beggs has guarded, are many glamorous accounts of his experiences in Ethiopia. In one is related his first meeting with the present Emperor, who, at that time, was Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. i burg, who recounted today the known as Ras Tafari. The missionary wrote: "Govri (a Christian boy who actd as translator) and I mounted our mules and rode to the palace. We were led into a large room carpeted with Persian rugs and furnished with chairs and tables of the finest mahogany.

Soon after arriving in Ethiopia, he was awakened one night at his hut, in a remote village. Soldiers had come for the American doctor. The governor was ill. Going to the palace. Dr.

Lambie found an insect in the governor's ear, which he easily removed. But it was thought he had saved the ruler's life, and the incident led to an introduction to the present emperor, and their ensuing friendship. Dr. Lambie was one of the few Americans who attended the coronation. In a country where Dr.

Lambie said in 1920 that there was "no medical aid whatever to be found outside of Addis Ababa," he was in charge of construction of the George Memorial Hospital at the capital, with funds subscribed by W. S. George, of East Palestine, O. Dr. Lambie (whose seldom used full name is Thomas has spent 12 years in the Sudan and 16 in Ethiopia.

"I bowed and shook his extended hand, bidding Govri to explain to his highness that it was not our American custom to kiss the hand of anyone, and that it was because of custom and not because of any lack of respect that w-e did not kiss his hand. He graciously smiled and led me to a seat beside him, saying that he wanted me to be at home and act just as I would in America." Dr. Lambie, who graduated from medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, gave an insight into native customs in further describing the meeting. Long List of Questions "Then began the long series of questions that the Oriental deems necessary to good manners. How are you? How is your wife? How are the children? How did you stand the journey? After assuring him about 20 times that I was all right, and that my wife was the same and the children ditto, and the journey ditto again, and myself ditto again for about 20 times, I asked him a few times how he was." The Pittsburgh missionary, still apprehensive over the liquor question, suddenly was relieved when "the doors opened and two beautifully gowned attendants entered, wheeling a mahogany tea wagon with a beautiful silver tea service, faultless Haviland, and we had tea and cakes together." Some time later.

Dr. Lambie found out that one of his friends (who was one of the emperor's governors) had warned the "King of Kings" about the customs of this foreign guest, who would "not even drink champagne."

Kossert has bounced through 34 states and northern Mexico, has traveled the distance from coast to coast and border to border, has come into contact with a great many people, most cf them disagreeable, and retains, for his mileage, several scars, a few debts, and opinions.

Kossert has had a great many experiences which would try the temper of even the most courageous stumblebum but he has always carried around with him, tucked in the hindmost recesses of his small head, the slogan which he used when a California gentleman became more than friendly. "Sir." said he then, unravelling himself in a mighty stretch, "my strength is as the strength of 10 because my heart is pure." It is with such noble resolutions seared into his memory by grade nine that Mr. Kossert manages to endure the travails he now undergoes as a caddy in which the only territory covered is that between his present residence at 1 Porter North Side, and a woody sector where a 26-handicap man has hooked a ball. Romances Ahead But Mr. Kossert feels that he can well bide his time because he has already laid plans for departure on Aug.
