GERMAN GOLD IN GREECE.

■ Two Venizelist newspapers, Patris and Hestia, have opened a violent campaign against the doings of Baron Schenk, the well-known chief of the Ger.man r-inaganda in Athens. The Hestia -writes:— "We appeal to the Government not to per.-nit the further sojourn among us of such vipers (meaning Baron Schifenk and his satellites), whose mission it is to bribe Greek consciences and pollute our morals. These miserable, vipers have now gone so far as to question the result of the c ections, in which the popular will in favor of M. Venizelos so emphatically asserted itself, by_ boasting that they will cause the majority returned to vanish by the time the Chamber meets on July 20th, implying by this that they will attempt to use with success, in Greece, tho same dastardly means of bribery and corruption which they tried in Rome, but which failed, and which the Italian Premier, in his scathing speech from the Capitol of Rome, denounced to the world." •
