MONEY FOR THE GREEKS.

women Coming to the Assistance
of Their Cause.
Many of the prominent society lodies of
washington are taking steps to esporse
the cause of Greece in substantial man
ner.
Mrs. Kimon Nicolaides has been par
ticularly active in the cause of Greece,
and is the recognized head of large
circle Of patriotic Greek ladies resident
in this city, as well as Of large number
of sympathetic American ladies', In Their
efforts looking to the relief of Greece
Mrs Nicolaides is in receipt OF a tele-
gram from Solon J. Vlasto, a plonlin ent
Greek editor Of New York city, ana the
accredited agent Of the Greek union re-
ferred to, conveying his thanks to her Tor
her expression of sympathy In behaii oil
the Greeks Tie telegram also set forth
that Mr. vlasto had heen assured by teie-
gram OF the hearty sympat thy OF Mrs
Sherman, wife of the Secretary OF state
and of Miss Clara Barton, president OF
the Red Gross. in behalf of the cause or
the Greeks.
That two ladies in the positions occupied
by Mrs. Sherman and Miss Barton should
commit themselves on the subject OF an
international controversy seemed so iul-
probahle that Times reporter yesterday
evening investigated the matter.
Mrs sherman could not be seen, but
Miss Barton was interviewed on the sub
ject at her new headquarters at Glen Echo
.sIf the statement has been made that
| Mr. Vlasto has received a telegram from
ME assuring him of my sympathy for the
/ Greeks in their struggle against Turkey ii
| is Incorrect" said Miss Barton, for what
! ever may be my personal views on the
| subject, it would be extremely impolitiC
| for me, as president of the Red Cross, to
express them"
Miss Barton explainedtothe reporter that
! the meaning of her telegram to MIR. Waste
!. was that the American Red Cross was
| willing @ to cooperate with the Red Cross IN
| Greece. Such cooperation could only
mean ministration to the wounded III nat
! tie, and those suffering in any way, what
ever regardless of nationality. Il was
source of surprise to her that man In tht
position of Editor VlasCo could misinterpret
her telegram.
Miss Rarton wished it stated that tht
American Red Cross was not preparing
an appeal for funds for the sending of
representatives of the society anywhere
| ssThe American National Red Cross, sn'
said, lis willing and anxious to cooperate
with the Red Cross societies Of Other
countries in relief of the wounded ant
suffering, but it never appeals nor solicit
for any purpose.
