try in line, and many OF them were
elderly women. The procession march
ed up Pennsylvania avenue, between
lines Of hooting and jeering hoodlums
who hurled all manner OF insults and
did what they could to block the way
AT several places the mob closed In
on the line of women and many were
injured. The capital police proved en-
tirely inefficient and 1t was necessary
to call for troops Of cavalry from For
Meyer to keep back the ruffians. The
cavalry charged in on the ruffians ano
made them give way. One woman
rode down a half dozen jeering meI
and another struck a ruffian who hao
made an indecent remark to her, II
the face with a riding whip. The quie
dignity Of most Of the women under
insult was remarkable. After the pa
rade the women held an indignation
meeting and called upon congress L
investigate the inefficiency of the CAPT
tai police.

lent by the Servian artillery, was
brought to bear on the forts defending
the beleaguered city. Thirty thousand

that their attack would be made from

the defenders had been distracted, the
Greeks hurled large bodies Of infantry
onto the Turkish left. The Ottoman
troops, utterly surprised, fell back In
disorder. Athens and all Greece are
celebrating the great victory with de-
monstrations Of JOY.
