Sandringham she is remaining in London
in the expectation of receiving definite
news today of the attitude which Greece
will assume. All the dispatches are inn
mediately sent TO the Princess of Wales.
1t Is learned on good authority that the
Greek reply TO the Identical notes of the
Powers will be characterized by four
points. In the first place it will be con-
ciliatory in tone fully recognizing the high
aims of the Powers.
Secondly, it will offer to withdraw the
Greek fleet from Cretan waters. Thirdly,
while pointing out that IL Is impossible TO
withdraw the Greek troops from the
Island of Crete, IL will offer TO place them
under the control of the Powers, To restore
order. Finally the reply will meet the
statements about the Cretan really pre-

NEITHER HEARD FROM.
Rev. Mr.. Millington and Mrs. Dick.
erson Still Missing.
Friends Say There is No Connection
Between Their Disappearance.

Newark, March S.-Instead of lifting
and clearing away as time goes on, the
mystery surrounding the unexpected dis
appearance In New York week ago to-
day of the Rev. Ed Oldknow Millington,
Of Newark, seems to become even more
dense. One cause for this is the sudden
change of attitude by the members of his
family in Newark
When, last Wednesday, they first an
nounced his disappearance, they were
willing and anxious that public search
be made for him, and cheerfully gave the
police whatever information they had
Since the return TO Newark on Saturday
afternoon of the Rev. William f. Milling
ton, the missing mans father however,
there has been decided disinclination TO
give any information. The wife of the
missing minister now positively refuses TO
discuss the case.
The friends of the Millingtons in
Newark were yesterday discussing the
almost simultaneous disappearance of the
minister and Mrs Dorothy Dickerson,
who is known 10 have been on very
friendly terms with him. They scoffed
at the theory that there was any relation
between those "disappearances' and
stoutly asserted the belief that Mr. Mil
lington had met with foul play while
Summing" i'm New York. They know
that the minister has been studying
criminology from books, and believe that
he undertook a Summing tour to supple
ment his knowledge of lower life by prac-
tical experience
AT z Eagle street, the home OF Mrs.
Dickerson, IL was said yesterday that no
word has yet been heard from the missing
woman.

said Mrs. Ashford, "And / do not believe
she has gone off with Mr.. Millington.
Yes, he called here once in while but
that amounted TO nothing, as they were
simply short pastoral visits.
My daughter attended the church
regularly, but was always accompanied
by member Of the family and returned
home Immediately after the service.
"While / don't know of any good
ground for connecting her name with that
of Mr.. Millington, / actually don't know
anything, and therefore can't say whether
they are together or not no matter what
my belief may be- 1t may be nonsense
but take some consolation from the fact
that on Friday a clairvoyant, who was
consulted by member of the family, said
that we need not worry, as Mrs. Dickin-
son is alone and not far away from New
ark; that she is safe and will return in
a few days.
''At the same time she may have gone

A New Advertising Agency.

During the past week an enterprise was
started in this city that appeals directly 10 the
business mon Of the community. 1t is the news
paper and general advertising agency Of Ed
ward w. Forrest & Co., and the business men
who are compelled to advertise in out of
town, if not out of the state. newspapers and
magazines will accord such firm as this a
hearty welcome.
No one who has not been general adver
tiser can appreciate the trials of the average
business man who wants TO advertise judic
iously. There are scores upon scores of me-
diums, all OF whom would be glad 10 accept
his advertisement ami bis check, but the bust
ness man knows that some OF these mediums
have a circulation and others have practically
none some reach the class of advertisers to
which he directly desires to appeal, while
others would be of absolutely no assistance TO
him.
To the average business man the aivertis-
ing department of his business Is the part
about which he knows the least and of late
years the advertising agency has come to the
assistance of the man of business. 1t is such
an enterprise that has been instituted by Mr..
Forrest and his associates and il is intended
TO make the new agency indispensable to the
local business world.
For instance, when the prospective adver-
tiser desires some advice in regard to the
character and the circulation OF the
paper with which he wishes to adj
vcrtise, the firm of Edward W. Forrest
q Co. can provide him with all the informa-
tion desired or II he prefers, he can leave the
matter of the selection Of good papers TO this
agency and they will provide list of medi-
ums that would be only of advantage to the
advertiser.
These are by no means the only ways in
which the new advertising agency will be of
benefit but the advantages of the general nd
vertising agency are now too well admitted
10 tcinand much comment. II is enough 10
say that Mr.. Furrest proposes that the new
firm shall be up-to-date in every respect and
he is now prepared TO meet the Providence
business men and talk with them in relation
20 their advertising contracts.
Mr.. Edward W. Forrest, the active member
Of the company. Is gentleman who is partic-
ularly fitted for this line of work. For years
he has acted as advertising manager Of dali

last position was as advertising manager of

most favorable terms for out Of town OF local
advertising will find Mr.. Forrest.
