war seemed imminent
1t is very serious" said Mr.. Botassi,

George sorely needs the support of every
able bodied Greek i'm this struggle. In
this country there ,tfc trbUtrt ~ ttt tfrurks
OF these probably about 500 belong TO
the army reserve. If they, should fail to

But, poor fellows they are only too
ready to go If they can afford the cost of
the journey. The government has no ap-
preparation for the transport Of reserves.
Il receive daily hundreds OF offers from
men whose lives are at the Kings service.
Considerably over hundred have already
left and many more are preparing to join
their respective regiments.
Those reserves belonging to the class of
'69, who return TO Greece will revisit
the battle fields of their youth, for these
men saw fierce fighting in those years in
the disturbed Island of Crete.
Il very much fear that on Monday war
will be declared. King George has been
given until noon on that day to declare
his intentions and feel almost certain

received that King Georges answer win

has always given to her enemies, whether

The Latter's Sister Now Sues 10
Recover Deposit in Bank.

New York, March Ga strange story
of the disappearance and death as paupers
of two persons who had a considerable
sum of money in bank is disclosed by the
suit of Mrs. Maria LEM, of White Plains,
to recover from the Dry Dock Savings
Bank s27O0 which is on deposit there in
the name of her sister, Mrs Sophia Wal
thers, and the latter's husband, Henry
Walthers, both of whom are dead
The last time Mrs LEM saw her sister
was in August, 1895, when Mrs. Walthers
visited her in White Plains. The sisters
had not been on friendly terms for several
years, and Mrs. LEM was somewhat sur
prised AT the visit
Mrs. Walthers declared, however, that
she wished 10 be reconciled. She said that
she had prospered, and exhibited "A bank
book showing that she and her husband
Jointly had s270O. She then went To visit
"A friend in White Plains promising TO re-
turn in few hours for the bank book,
which she left in Mrs. Lenz's keeping.
She did not return, and the next day
Mrs. LEM ascertained that she had not
made the proposed visit. She searched for
her sister but could not trace her Mrs.
LEM heard no more of her sister until
last November, when she received a notice
that Henry Walthers had died in the
Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane,
on Wards Island He was registered
there "a n widower, and this was the first
intimation which she received of her
sisters death. Mrs. Lenz searched the
city institutions, and was shocked To find
that Mrs. Walthcrs had died a pauper in
Bellevue Hospital, on Sept. H. 1895, and
that her body had been turned over to the
Bellevue Hospital Medical College for
dissection.
A search of the records of Bellevue
Hospital Yesterday showed that she was
taken there on Sept. 10, in an ambulance,
from Flower Hospital, and that she died
from pulmonary oedema, complicated by
heart trouble.
At Flower Hospital there was no record
Of her name and the reporter was in
formed that the records kept by the hos
pital before January, 1896, We're very Inn
perfect.
An attempt to trace her husband was
equally fruitless He was picked up
wandering aimlessly i'm Third avenue by
policeman in November, 1895, and
taken 90 the Yorkyille police court, where
the magistrate committed him To Belle
we Hospital for examination as TO his
sanityn From there he was transferred
To Wards Island. His body was buried
in Potter's Field.
When Mrs. Lenz applied To the bank for
the money deposited there the officials
refused TO pay il, as Mrs. Walthers had
died before her husband and the money
reverted TO his relatives. AS he was not
known 10 have any il goes To the city.
Mrs. LEM has now brought suit,
Greenthal & Greenthal, TO recover
the money asserting that loan which
she made TO her sister many years ago
was never repaid.
