- It now appears that the presump-
tion that Greece would receive fnan-
cial aid from America, was not un-
founded. A prominent London bank.
er is quoted as having made the
following statement on last Saturday.
"During the past week there has been
q remarkable food of remittances to
Athens, through our bank, from Amer
ica. The checks generally range
from s1 to s10. We represent only
four banks in the United States and
Canada, and, therefore, are handling
only a small part of the business. If
the other banks are receiving as many
remittances as we are, the total
amount, so far sent from America,
cannot be much less than 100000
(s5,OOO,OO0. The contributions are
coming from both Greeks and Ameri-
cans; but mostly from Greeks.
- The Western papers continue to
print stories of the alleged airship that
is claimed to have been seen sailing
over a number of states, and the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, of Sunday, prints an
interview with an alleged reliable citi-
zen of Ohio who claims to have seen
the ship on the ground. The man says
he came upon the ship suddenly on the
side of country road. There were two
men in it-one an American and the
other foreigner-who could not speak
English. The American allowed the
visitor to look at the ship from the
outside, but would not permit close
examination. He explained that he
had only discovered the principle of
serial navigation, and as there may be a
number of ways of applying that prin-
ciple, he preferred to make numerous
experiments so as to get possession of
all patentable ideas. Otherwise, some
body else might come out with an i'm
provement and secure division of
profits. The story, as told, sounds
plausible enough but this fact, it
should be remembered, does not make
it true.

- Four hundred and fifty Greeks
sailed today for Havre, en- route to the
scene of the war between their native
country and Turkey, says New York
despatch of Saturday. All night long
the Greek colony in the vicinity of
Roosevelt and Madison streets was
astir, and enthusiasm for fatherland
found vent in speeches, in songs, in
cheers. A brass band played national
airs at intervals, and the war cry "Zi-
to opolemos !" greeted every utterance
of a patriotic character that became
audible above the din. In addition to
the $50 who took passage on board the
La Champagne there were many others
anxious to 60 to the front, but for the
time being there was no possibility of
providing them with transportation.
They were promised, however, that in
few days they would be sent forward
to join their brethren in arms on the
frontiers of Greece. A large concourse
followed the home-going Greeks from
their headquarters to the pier of the
French steamship line. At the head
went a brass band playing the Greek
national anthem. When the warriors
had boarded the La Champagne they
were lined upon the deck, while James
Patterson, the local representative of
the National League, made them an
impassioned speech, breathing of the
most patriotic fervor, uttering a pray
or for the safety Of the men going to
the front and expressing the hope that
they would give good account of
themselves. AS the vessel steamed
out from the dock, the cheering re-
doubled in vigor and the patriots
