I could have sworn the Turks promised to respect the neutral zone around the Straits just a couple of days ago. Anyway, the Turks occupy the neutral zone around the Straits.
There are rumors that Mohammed VI has abdicated as Sultan of Turkey. No, that’s still a little ways off.
Headline of the Day -100:
That would do it. (Greece, by the way, not Turkey). Troops enter Athens and form a “revolution committee” to take temporary charge of the government and restart the war against Turkey in Thrace. New king George is sworn in. Old king Constantine might go to Denmark, where he’s a prince. The US has also been rumored. Former prime minister Eleutherios Venizelos is still in Paris, showing no signs of returning to save Greece. He says “I wish to be considered as dead” when asked what role he might play.
The Michigan Democratic Party Convention declines to endorse Henry Ford for president in 1924, because that’s two freaking years from now.
John Sumner of the NY Society for the Suppression of Vice still wants to ban the Satyricon, maybe shopping around for a more congenial magistrate. He complains that someone repeating the language in it on a street corner could be jailed for 6 months. He further complains that the purchasers of the Satyricon “are not limited, as is claimed, to highly moral, intellectual and sophisticated readers.” Why, anyone with $20 can buy it. If anyone really has to read it, there are copies in libraries under lock and key – in Latin.
