London, May 9.-The powers are
now anxious that hostilities should
end. Turkey, however, does not seem
disposed to arrest her army in the
midst of it's triumphs. The war party
al Yildiz Kiosk is very strong and
wishes the complete humiliation OF
Greece. Therefore it is urging the
sultan not to recall the troops until
Edhem Pasha is quartered in Athens.
Turkey after many futile attempts
elsewhere has concluded a loan with
the Lighthouse administration for
100000 pounds at per cent. The i'm

Germany strongly insists on this
point, considering intervention to

step, therefore, in the Intervention will
be a renewed appeal to Greece to eVaC-

question Of indemnity. All cabinets
consider that Greece as a matter of
course should pay Turkeys war ex

be able to pay cent. The sultan
wishes to keep Thessaly in pawn until
TIE money is paid, or Europe guaran-
tees payment of the indemnity. The
lowers are indisp0sed to consent to
this and Great Britain and Italy refuse
to entertain the suggestion that the
Greek fleet be delivered to Turkey as
pledge for payment. The powers are
eXerting their influence to maintain
King George on the throne of Greece
and it is stated that the Russian minis
ter at Athens has declared to Ralli that
if Greece remain loyal to her royal
family the powers will do their best to
lessen the full burden of the war; but

Athens, May 9.-The Turks COM
pletely occupied and burned Velestino
Thursday evening the defeat of the
Greeks was complete and the pass to
Volo was open to the Turks. The
bay flashing up mountain sides were
great assistance to the retreating
Greeks showing the road through in
tense darkness. Over a dozen cannon
were abandoned and captured by the
Turks. Two hundred wounded soldiers
were brought to VOlo. The CORES
pendent Of the Associated Press is of
the opinion that many Greek wounded
soldiers were left on the field. 1t is
impossible to estimate the number
killed. Late adyices received from the
frontier are to the effect that Gen.
Smolenski's shattered army was cut in
two. The left wing retired to Amy
ros and wha, was left OF the right
wing came toward Volo broken and de-
moraliZed. The retreat across the
mountains was almost as bad as the
panic which resulted in the change Of
base from TyrnavOs to Volo. The
scene of the more recent panic was
wild and almost indescribable. Thurs
day and Friday the populace filled the
streets of Nolo with their household
goods. The peasants from the sur
rounding villages fed to the towns and
added chaos to confusion. Brigandage
became common. Five steamers were
c. implicitly filled with refugees. Scores
of caiques carried fugitives to islands.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press succeeded in getting on the last
steamer. On that boat were 1900 men,
women and children packed as thick
as behring's.

brother the duke of Orleans, in the
Algerian campaign in 1910. He was
made a member of the French Academy
and Of the Academy of Fine Arts, but
was expelled from France by law while
Boulanger was minister of war. After
he had gone it was learned that he had
given his chateau at Chantilly, with it's
priceless treasures, to the institute in
trust for the French nation, and in
1889 the decree was revoked and he
returned from England and took up
his residence in the chateau in which
he lived up to the time of his death.
In the same year that he returned to
France he was elected president of the
academy for three months. He was rs
years old, having been born in 1922.
He was the fourth son of King Louis
