WARSHIPS SAIL FOR ATHENS
British Fleet Hurries to Greece as
Cretan Question Is Raised
Turkey Issues Warning.

Malta.-The British battleship Dun
can, flagship of Rear Admiral Sir
George Ashley Callaghan, second in
command of the British Mediterranean
fleet, with the cruisers Lancaster,
Minerva and Barham, and four tor
pedO boat destroyers. left here Thurs
day for Piraeus, the port of Athens,
Constantinople.-It is stated that
the government has Informed the pow
ers protecting Crete that if the Gre
tans go to the Greek national assem-
bly, it will be regarded by the porte
as a casus belli. Among the many
warlike statements current are asser-
lions that part of the army of Epirus
and the Third army corps at Saloniki,
are ready to cross the frontier and
enter the plain of LarissO.
London.-Should the Cretans at
tempt to send delegates to the Hell
lenic national assembly, convoked by
King George, which would be consid-
cred a serious threat to peace in the
near east, or in any other way disturb
the status quo, international troops
will be landed on the island. One of
the conditions under which the troops
were withdrawn was that the Cretans
should take no steps against the SOW
ereignty of Turkey. The sending of
delegates to the Greek assembly would
be breach of the agreement.
The danger is not considered immi-
nent, however, as the national assem-
bly, is not expected to meet for months
and responsible Greeks and Cretans
have assured the powers lat they
will Go nothing to disturb the peace.

BLAST KILLS SEVEN MEN
Auto Party Blown Into Unrecogniz-
able Mass-Some Are Tossed
One Thousand Feet.

Kelvin, Ariz.--Seven men were
instantly killed in an explosion
two miles from this place on the Ray
Consolidated Copper Company's new
railroad, leading from the mines to
Phoenix and points to the east.
The dead are:
H. H. Lyal, formerly of Los Angeles
Walter Krentz, recent graduate Uni
versity of California
A. S. Bieber, civil engineer.
J. H. Joyce, civil engineer.
J. H. Griffin, civil engineer.
w. H. Freeland of Denver.
r. P. Coleman of Salt Lake.
Workmen employed in the construc-
ton of the new railroad had prepared
four blasts. The four lines of fuse
were lighted by William Jamison, fore
men of the gang, while the workmen
were at dinner.
Before the explosion of the blasts
railroad motor car approached and the
occupants were warned of the danger
But after waiting until they had heard
two of the expected explosions, the
party in the motor car became impa-
tient of the delay and moved forward.
1t is understood that the three en-
gineers, Bieber, Joyce and Griffin, un-
dertook to assist the men in the motor
car past the danger point. Just as the
seven men were opposite the place at
which the fuse had been lighted, the
delayed blast suddenly exploded and
not one 10 the seven was left to tell
Just what had caused them to advance
in the face 70 such peril.

THE KENTUCKIAN
WAS PLEASED
HE SECURED A GOOD HALF-SEc.
TON IN CENTRAL CANADA.

1t is not only from Kentucky, but
from thirty-five to forty different
States that there comes the expression
of satisfaction from those who have
taken up lands in Central Canada as
free homestead or have purchased
lands.
Mr.. E. K. Bell, of Frankfort, Ken
lucky, writes to a Canadian Govern
ment Official, and says: Il have just
returned from Alberta, overjoyed with
my trip. Your literature was very
fiattering, but not hQe what found it.
1 bought a half section between Cal
gary and Edmonton, one mile from
railroad, near a good town. This is
the best country l ever saw or ever
expect to see. will go in the spring
and get to work on my place. think
it is the coming Country of the World"
Some of the papers describe the set
Ting of the Canadian West as "be-
coming a fever with great many peo-
pie. The lure of it's golden promises
IS creeping into their hearts and many
are they who are answering the call
of that unsettled territory" This pa
per editorially cautions it's readers to
exercise care and thought before NOV
ing to distant country. This would
be wise precaution, and is exactly
what the Canadian officials ask.
The success of the settler who has
made Canada his home for years is
the best evidence that can be offered.
And of the large number of Americans
who have made their homes in Can
ada, very few have returned. All are
satisfied.

Nikola Tesla is said to have practi-
cally perfected a new system of wire
less telegraphy and telephony which
will virtually eliminate the element of
distance. making it as easy to com

MORE epUNK NEEDED.

We need here IN the United States
a little more of that good old English
bluntness on the part or modest men
and women who know their own worth.
when men and women of TIE arrogant
sort get in the way or try to be pat
ronizing, says New York Independent.
Our observation is that nowhere in
the word are men and women OF ex-
ceptional intellectual attachments so
lacking in self-assertion as they are in
the United States. This phenomenon
is a comparatively new one in Amer
lean life. Wherever one opens the
documents of American history before
the civil war he is sure to discover in
teresting inciSS1ts proving the sense
of dignity and real self-respect of the
American farmer, mechanic, merchant,
teacher, physician or clergyman. 1t
those days was regarded as worth
while and worthy of respect. 1t takes
a certain amount of courage for an in
dividual, face to face with a person
politically or financially prominent, to
tell him to stay on his own reservation
and mind his own business. Americans
have been inclined to regard the Eng
lishman's habitual manifestation of
this particular kind of courage as a
disagreeable quality. Perhaps it is.
But we are convinced that it is
necessary quality, and that it's cultiva-
ton is an essential part of that eter-
nal vigilance which is the price Of lib
erty.

GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill
fully selected food that exactly fits
the requirements of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and
poor fire is not good steam producer.
From not knowing how to select the
right food to fit my needs, l suffered
grievously for long time from stom-
ach troubles" writes a lady from
little town in Missouri.
cit seemed as if l would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that could eat would stay on my stom-
ach. Every attempt gave me heart
burn and filled my stomach with gas.
l got thinner and thinner until 1 lit
orally became living skeleton and in
time was compelled to keep to my bed.
"A few months ago l was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that 1 have kept up it's use ever since.
/ was surprised at the ease with which
l digested it. 1t proved to be just what
needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me such pain disappeared. My
weight gradually increased from SO
to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now
able to do my homework and enjoy it.
Grape-Nuts did it."
A ten days trial will show anyone
some facts about food.
Look in pkgs. for the little book, "The
Road to MELVILLE" There's Reason"
Ever read the above letter: A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF human
interest.
