GREEK TROOPS MUTlNY.
Action of Athens Garrison Causes
Downfall of Ministry.

Athens. Aug. 29.-Several battalions of
the local garrison, under the leadership
of their officers, mutinied Saturday. They
left their barracks, marched out of the
CITY and are encamped in the suburbs.
The men are dissatisfied with the present
ministry and conditions in the army. AS
a result of this action the cabinet of Pre-
mier Phallis has resigned. and King
George has asked M Navromichaelis to
form a new ministry.
There has been unrest among the Off
GERS of the army on account of alleged
favoritism and slowness in the promotion
of juniors. Four leaders in the movement
for the reorganization of the army were
arrested last night.
A deputation of officers waited on Pre-
mer Phallis to submit a program of re-
forms, but the premier refused to receive
them on the ground that among them
were officers who had been punished for
rebellious conduct This crisis in army
affairs has added to the unrest of the
public.

she drove this morning to st. Johns

st. Johns is a little church half hid

way up the mountain between Arden sta
ton and the Hartman residence. 1t was
built about 50 years ago, long before the
Harrimans made the neighborhOod their

does not own. But 1t is understood that
the railway man pays a large part, if not
the larger part, Of the running expenses
of the parish Mrs. Hartman was ques-

husbands condition, but she replied, with
smile
'That is matter I cannot speak OF

That was all she would say. although
she fingered after church and talked with

Many vehicles today were busy car

high enough to avoid any possibility
of overflow. This is especially true of
American families. many of whom re-
side at down town hotels along the
plazas Zaragoza and Hidalgo. Many
of these families have removed to re-
mote sections of the city. although the
locality of their hotels is thought to
be safe from inundation.
The police, rurales and soldiers play
ed prominent part last night and to-
day in guarding and caring for the
city. All police reserves were called
into service. The rurales were busy
and attachments of troops from the
headquarters of General Trevfno were
utilized to secure shelter for the suf-
ferers.
While yet there is no scarcity of food
and the city is amply able to care for
its destitute, there is fear that a short
age will soon come. There have been
washouts all along the line of the Ma

of the census, S. N. D. North There

that. while Mr.. Pinchot, hold-over
from the Roosevelt administration, is

of the Presidents course in the mat

controversy in any way has intimated
