Says Transfer to Greece of Two
Vessels Will Hasten
Balkan War.
PRESENTS CASE TO PRESIDENT
Diplomatic Representative Of Both
Nations Call at White House
Wilson Believes Sale Move
Toward Peace.

Washington, June 23.--With tn
Turkish government formally protest
ing against the proposed sale of tn
American battleships Mississippi an,
Idaho to Greece, rumblings of war be
tween Greece and Turkey were car
ried today to the White House.
The diplomatic representative O
the two countries called on Presiden
Wilson within few minutes Of eacf
other-one to urge and the other tt
oppose the warship deal. Greece
takes the position that if she buys
the vessels, the balance of power in
the Mediterranean will be preserved
and peace maintained, while Turkey
claims that peace can best be guar
anteed by the refusal of the United
States to aid in augmenting her ri
val's naval forces.
Looks Toward Peace.
President Wilson told callers earlier
in the day that he favored the sale of
the battleships to Greece because it
had been represented to him that such
action would be in the interest of
peace. He said that if he thought the
vessels would be used in an immedi-
ate war he would not consent to their
sale. -, w., ''-''''
The question of the sale of the bat
tleships is to come up in the house
tomorrow. Secretary Daniels desires
the - million dollars which Greece
is willing to pay for the batleships
to build dreadnaught similar to the
and most of the leaders in
Congress have been inclined to au-
thorize the step.
The new Turkish ambassador, Rus
tenn Bey, called on the President os-
tensibly to present. his credentials and
the Greek charge daffaires, A. Vouros,
presented the new Greek naval at
tache, Commander Tscuklas Both
diplomats took the opportunity, how
ever, to present their views on the
controversy.
Ships Are Necessary.
The Greek charge stated later that
the acquisition Of the battleships by
Greece was necessary to prevent
war between Turkey and Greece,
which would otherwise be brought
about by the seizure by Turkey of ad-
accent Greek possessions. He based
he claim of Greece to naval expan-
sion on the treaty of London and
Athens, which coded the Islands of
,hio and Mitvene to Greece, and de-
Jared Greece must be in a position

HOPE ABANDONED FOR 1903
TRAPPED IN CANADIAN MINE
Ninety-Four Bodies Have Been
Recovered From Wrecked
Shaft at HiICrest.

Lethbridge, Alberta, June 22-Bodies
of ninety-four of the 1877 miners en-
tombed when an explosion wrecked
the inner workings of Mine No. 20
of the Hillcrest, Alberta, Galleries,
Ltd, had been removed to the surface
tonight. ALL hope Of rescuing alive
any of the remaining 103 members
of the crew that entered the mine
had been abandoned.
Under the direction of government
mine experts the work of rescue went
rapidly forward today, and at night
fall the explorers had reached several
hundred feet into the mine. Many of
the bodies removed today were dug
from the debris, tons Of which blocked
all passages. Other bodies were stand

That the explosion was due to the
forming Of gas in the lower levels of
the mine has been generally accepted.

spite the efforts of the two score mine

Three hundred and fifty miners, in
the workings at the time of the ex-
plosion, are known to have escaped.
At dusk silent group Of white
housewives and mothers stood at the
mouth of the mine, which had been
closed by the explosion, still hopeful
that the cries for help that issued
from the inner workings earlier in the
day might be repeated and aid the ex:
perts in their efforts at rescue. As

The Devil Of Race Harred.

Step right up and hit the man you
hate most.
Il hate a Jew" says one. So he
takes throw at "the Kike."
Il hate an Irishman," says another,
and he drives at "the Mick"
Another hates IN Englishman, an
other German or Japanese; SO the
devil in human nature spends itself
in this way until wisdom touches the
human mind and says, Nov calm
yourself and wipe the froth from your
mouth"
Then one begins to think and finally
learns this truth: that race hatred is
one of the lowest and meanest of hui
man passions. A race may have more
cunning than another, but the race
that makes the accusation may have
more bluff. One may have more cul-
ture, but the other may excel In sim
pie honesty. And when 1t comes to
summing up all the virtues, faults and
capabilities Of each race one about
equals the other.
Until we learn to judge every in
dividual on his own peculiar merits
we haven't taken first good step
toward social intelligence.-Art Young

And trampeth many miles.

Size Of Universities Of the U. s.

the number Of students. few of us
would place it above 1000. Yet, ac-
cording to the official figures, certi-

there are 1912 students enrolled there

Seattle-Advlces received here from
Wenatchee are to the effect that ap-
pies are being shipped out at the rate
of 100 carloads per day to imaginary
buyers in the East and South in the
hope that by trolling" the fruit they
will be able to find actual buyers be-
fore the cars stop travelling. In this,
however, there is likely to be disap-
pointment. 1t is probable that the
fruit will have to be stored in the East
until later, when there may be chance
to sell. No higher prices are hoped
for this season.
Following the success of the first
apple show in Western Washington,
Eastern Washington growers, who
have been on the ground, are request
ing that Seattle business men make
plans to hold show every year here
after. The distributors have pointed
out that owing to the Importance of
Seattle as distributing center, both
as to the Coast and oversea trade,
efforts should be made to exploit the
apple industry annually as means to
widen distributing areas. Local job
bers declared that between 400 and
500 carloads of Washington apples
would be sent through this port before
January for storage in California.

The experience of Motherhood is a try.

tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred Is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
