For some reason not Known here. Greece at the last moment refused to enter into any agreement of any kind with Turkey. which is taken aS an indication that king dom will continue the war un- less Turkey comes forward with special offers to that coun try alone. Except for small guerilla bands of armed men. Greece has defeated all oppo- sltion in her campaign. and II mo doubt figuring son Seizins more of the islands of the Egg can Sea. which formerly be- .longed to her. She is in an especially good position 10 do this as her fleet is stronger and better equipped than Fur keys. Another complication which arose at the last mo- ment was Bulgaria'S announce ment that she intended to con. tinue the bombardment of the city of Adrianople during the armI>tice on the ground that the defenders of the place in ease she stopped her firing, would repair the damage she had done thus far and make it necessary for her to begin all over again in case the coun- tries failed to agree on peace
 terms. And there the matter rests.

CLEANSING A CITY

The malodorous atmosphere stirred up Ill New York by the sensational disclosures of the Becker trial and the trial of the ''Sunnen. held responsible for the death Of Rosenthal. Is still clinsing to things generally and the police department in par sicular. but the purifying draft ot publicity and public opinion hldS fair 10 purify the air by slow degrees. The citizens fully realize. however. that the elimination Of the "odor" is merely sham palliative and that a thorough qualification is impossible unless the source of the "odor" Is eraiicated. The Becker trial Is. al least for the present. disposed of. hut the Currsn committee investigation is still going on and the evil ience given Is scarcely less damaging 10 the reputation Of inc police department than the evidence in the Becker case. IL would take 6 husky and yigor- ous Hercules 10 clean out that .iugean stable.
 In view of all the shocking disclosures oi the last six months or 90. the attitude of Mayor Gaynor Is considered rather strange by . majority of inc citizens. He takes an ex- tramely optimistic view of the situation and severely critieises he ministers and newspapers for harping upon ihe existing corruption in the police depart ment of New York. His idea seems tO be that the less said about it the better for the in- tereStS of the city. Some Of the ministers re.-:ked ty Mayor 6aynor past rallcl his etten- ton 10 n. fac. that evll un- doubiedly exists III the police department and that one can not eradicate evil fy merely ig- EoFins its existence.

A NEW PARTY

If I'm hale and strong and
 hearty when the next campaign begins 1 will start the Sorehead party, that's the sort of thing
 that wins. Twill be better far
 than tonic for the disappointed
 fans, for the grouches and the chronics and the breeding also rans. Twill provide a useful
 shelter for reformers who are lame, they'll come to it helter skelter, when they learn it's noble aim. Every statesman full of sorrow who would even up old scores, in the Sorehead ranks could borrow ointment for his wounds and sores. Oh the party may be trusted to deserve the public thanks, only those who are disgusted will be welcome to it's ranks. If the soreheads will assemble in one party, out for gore, all the oth.. CT hosts may tremble as they never did before. In the past they have been scattered, i'll each party there are some, so there efforts little mattered. small success to them has come But when once they are united standing with unbroken front, oh, the gods will be delighted as they do their winning stunt. Every aleck, every smarty, should get busy right away. Come and join the Sorehead party, write your name down, don't delay.-Walt Mason.

ing over it, did not serve tu clarity tn
any extent the confusion that followed
the end of yesterdays championship
lightweight battle between Al VOL.
gast and Joe Rivers at Vernon. The
cries of "fake" and "jobbery," which
resounded throughout the fight pavilion
yesterday, echoed today among the
haunts of sporting men.
Promoter McCarey said that in view
at the grave doubt laid against the de.
csiou of referee Welch in awarding
the fight to Wolgast rs knockout, he
had not decided TO give the $500 dia.
mond to the champion.
Scores of men who were among the
/ 900 spectators who watched the fight
yesterday, called at the Offices Of the
Paci.c Athletic club to suggest that
the boys bc sent together in another
2O.round battle TO decide finally the
question of supremacy which was left
"up in the air" by yesterdays de.
cisiOn.
Rivers and his manager, Joe Levy,
expressed their willingness to let the
Los Angeles Mexican fight the battle
over again with Wolgast, but the latter
and his business manager, Tom Jones,
maintained silence. II the two boys
get together again, it is said the battle
will be fought on labor day.
"After Welch had helped Wolgast TO
his feet and rendered his decision, "
said Levy, al offered to start the fight
over again right there. But Welch beat
it and Jones and Wolgast refused !
am willing now to send Rivers back into
the ring against Wolgast any time. "
wolgast did not leave his training
camp, to which he repaired immediate.
ly after the battle, until late today
Rivers was down town earlier. Both
boys showed the effects Of the terrific
lighting which marked the progress OF
each Of the l3 rounds yesterday. Riv'
ers's right eye was cut and almost
closed, his nose considerably swollen
and his mouth cut and puffed. Wolgast
although endowed by nature with a
more rugged face, showed plainly the
marks Of the pounding he had received
