Washington, Sept. 27.-Let the Santa
Claus of poor children, those of the
tenements who are likely to be over
looked because they live so crowded to-

States mails. This was the plea made
to President Wilson by Miss Olive May
Wilson of Jenkintown, Pa, who is here
to see if some way cannot be found to
waive postage on Christmas presents
mailed to poor children. Filled with
the enthusiasm of her cause, Miss Will

plea. She asked his aid in securing leg

She was able to show him a letter she
had secured from Vice President Mar

WAR CALLS KING
OF GREECE HOME
Turkish Army Planning an Attack on
Port the Greeks Took from
Bulgaria.

London, Sept. 27-King Constantine
Of Greece made preparations yesterday
for hurried return to Athens, where
the Balkan situation is regarded by the
Hellenic government as very disquiet-
ing.
The king has decided to cut short his
visit to the seaside resort of Eastbourne,
on the south coast of England.
He will come TO London to-day for a
special conference with Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary.
All the Greek officers have been re-
called for active service with their COM
mands and many of the regiments dis
banded after the conclusion of the cam
paign against Turkey, are now being re-
modified.
The activities of the Turkish troops
are believed by the Greeks to fore
shadow an attempt by them to re-
capture the Port of Kavala, on the
Aegean sea, on which coast Greece lost
so much blood and treasure to wrest
from the hands of the Bulgarians during
the fighting which broke out between the
two former allies after the cessation of
hostilities against Turkey.
Turkish officers now on their way
from Asia Minor to the province of
Thrace, openly admit that Kavaia is
the objective of Ottoman aspiration.
Greek official circles deride Bulgarian
denials of the reports that common
action is contemplated by Bulgaria and
Turkey against Greece. Some officials
declare that they know negotiations to
that end have started in Constantinople.

Blake knows, her husband has taken no
steps towards reconciliation.

CHESTNUT BLIGHT IN VERMONT
Has Been Discovered at Brattleboro and
Is Being Fought.

The chestnut disease, known as chest.
nut blight, which has killed so much
chestnut in the middle Atlantic and
southern New England states, has been
discovered in Vermont on land owned
by the Austine institute at Brattleboro
and is being handled under the direc-
tion of the Vermont forestry depart
ment.
The disease kills the trees by grid
ling the trunk. The appearance of the
disease is as follows: First, small
light brown sunken place which spreads
around the tree. A little later small
brown or orange punches, about the size
of pin-head appear in this sunken
place on the bark. There is another
growth which is very common on dead
chestnut and which may be confused
with this. No other tree is attacked
by this blight. ANY doubtful samples
should be sent to the state forester,
Burlington, Vermont.
Mature stands which have the disease
should be cut in such a way as to repro
duce oak or other valuable species, 9TH
er than chestnut. In some stands it
may be best to clean and plant to pine.
Young stands should be thinned so as
TO remove all tue ulsedseu tIetst anu
give the remaining trees the best pos
sible growing conditions, that they may
resist the disease.
Investigations carried on by the q. S.
forest service have proved that chest
nut killed by the disease is just as
good as live timber, provided it is used
within two years after it is killed.
In order to prevent the spread Of this
disease, the federal government requires
that all infected timber shall be peeled
and all diseased wood cut before it can
be shipped.

SEIZE LIQUOR
SHIPMENT

United States Deputy Marshals J
w. Stimson of Tuscon and E. g.
Kinnett of Los Angeles seized a
shipment of liquor here last Satur'
day on instructions from the Indian
Office at Washington The officers
left for Phoenix Sunday night, re
turning Monday night, and gave out
that they were awaiting instructions
from Washington.
1t is not known at this time just
how the Indian Office is going to pro
ceed in the matter Some believe that
the liquor was siezed for the pur
pose of having the federal district
court pass upon the question OF
whether the townsite of Parker is
within Indian territory or whether
it is outside of the jurisdiction OF
the government
1t is also rumored that the Indian
Office contemplates testing out stat
utes relative to selling liquor within
five miles of a reservation. 1t is
claimed that this statute resulted in
closing hundred of saloons in Okla
homa, and it is alleged that the same
procedure is to be taken here.
However, it is all guess work al
this time, and until the papers are
served in the case nothing definite
will be known. Yuma county has is
sued two saloon licenses in Parker
on the theory that Parker was out
side the reservation proper, which
Everybody here believes that it is
Several officials of the government in
the past three years have given as
their opinion that the filing of the
townsite plat was a formal dedica-
cation of the streets and alleys to
the town and county. AS the govern
ment has issued patents to lots with
no conditions attached, it would
appear that the town is wholly divorc
ed from the reserve.
Therefore it is believed that the
government is proceeding to stop the
liquor traffic here upon an entirely
different ground, probably taking
some statute relative to selling liq-
uor within a certain distance of an
Indian reservation, or an Indian
school,
