The Grecinn Disasters Due to Ills
COwardly ActiOns.
London, May 12.-The Daily Nails
correspondent at Volo says: "From
the first day of the war Crown Prince
Constantine, in his capacity of chief
censor. blocked all the Jews which the
English correspondents sent from the
scene of hostilities. This explains the
|inaccuracy obvious in so many cases.
The crown prince, who understands
English perfectly. altered the news so
as to make it favorable to himself. For
instance: In a telegram to q New York
newspaper describing the COLI reccp-
ticn given him at Larissa, the prince
changed it to enthusiastic reception.
When the correspondents went to him
in a body and protested vigorously, he
answered evasively. The Greek dis

himself. He destroyed the morale of
the army by ordering INTERPRETATION or
Kurtsiovali and the retreat of the
Tyrnavos, and then he ran away in a
shameful flight from Larissa, when
the d~isgraceful scene was witnessed
Of a Greek colonel shrieking with ter
ror. All cursed Constantine for de-
sorting them, though there were other
reasons for the disasters which fol-
lowed, such as lack Of discipline, the
insutticicncy Of officers and a general

Blatant branches of the service"

fatality occurred before hundreds Of
spectators in Lincoln park. While
boating on Lake Michigan. Matthew
Roche and his ~ten-year-old nephew,

the boy drowned, although Roche twice
succeeded in putting the little fellow on

death is ascribed to excitement caused
by watching the struggles of the

Steel Freight Cars.

A Pittsburg paper notes u $6OO,OU
order to a manufacturing company
near that city for steel freight cars.
The same paper prophesies that steel
will supplant wood altogether in the
manufacture of freight cars; that the
life of an ordinary wooden car is about
ten years. while it is expected that
steel ones will last a lifetime. The
weight of the steel cars is $500 pounds
and their carrying capacity fifty tons.
The cost will be $1,000 each, and the
cars will be fitted with air brakes and
many new and valuable appliances.
The manufacture of wooden cars uses
up a vast quantity Of lumber, and the
general substitution of steel would af-
ford much relief to the forests.-Balti-

It is asserted by the defenders of
trusts" that in almost every instance
the formation of a trust has been fol-
lowed by a decrease in the price of the
product. This is true; but in most in
stances trusts have been formed to
check the downward tendency of prices
by interfering with the operation of the
law of supply and demand. Probably
there is no conspicuous instance of
lower prices following the %organiza-
ton of a trust. in which the prices to
the would not have fallen
still lower i: the trust had not been
formed. The greatest objection to
trusts is that they are wrong in prin-
ciple, in that they interfere with a
fundamental law Of trade.

The North Dakota house of represen-

The senate rejected it by a vote of ff-
teen to fourteen. The slight advance

Such initiative courage was recently

Larissa. May 12.-The Turks found
a quantity of railroad material at the
Volo railroad station but they were
unable to use the engines as the
Greeks had removed the essential
parts. The French naval detachments
saiuted the Ottoman troops and the
latter responded. The Turkish officers
complain Of the non-resistance Of the
Greeks, and declare it is not war, but
merely a military promenade. The
opinion is expressed here that the
Greeks are avoiding a serious fight in
order to spare their troops who may

peace Negotiations the principal feature
of the Eastern situation is that Turkey
is pr. ssing .reinforcements forward
and preparing for a rapid advance.
Unless the powers succeed in quickly
Arranging a settlement the Greeks are
likely to suffer further disasters. The
exact disposition of the Greek army
is uncertain, but. roughly speaking.
the first line of defense extends from
Almyros to Loucon, the second follows
the old frontier. and the third is drawn
at Thermopylae. Fighting is probable
within the next few days unless the
powers Intervene. The Greek fleet is
at Lamia, and the transport and other
services are still deficient, while a seri-
