Greece . CORFU.—The Rock of Odysseus; also called the Island of the Rats. It gave the Bocklin the inspiration for his famous painting The Island of the Dead. 21. EPIRUS.—Delvinaki. THE UNREDEEMED GREEKS ON the morrow of the victoriesover Turkey and Bulgaria in1912 and 1913, Greece had al-ready made a long step on the road to-ward the reconquest of its Alsace-Lor-raines. An important part of Mace-donia, including Salonika and Cavalla,the greater part of Epirus, with Jan-nina; the great islands of Chios andMitylene had seen the Blue and Whiteflag floating over them anew. Otherhopes seemed destined to speedy realiza-tion. In fact, Italy, at the outbreak ofthe war with Turkey over Tripoli, hadtaken military possession of the islandsof the Dodecanese, the twelve islandswhich extend to the south of Samos,along the coast of Asia Minor. TheItalian government at that time declaredthat this occupation had only a temporarycharacter and would cease with the exe-cution by Turkey of the clauses of thePeace of Lausanne. It appeared evidentthat these islands, peopled like all theislands of the Aegean, exclusively byGreeks, would ultimately revert to Greece.
