The announcement from Athens OF
the appointment as Grecian minister to
Rome of Signor Coremilas, former
minister to Washington and later min
lister of foreign affairs in the Greek
cabinet, aroused a storm of protest at
Rome.
King Constantine made the appoint
ment, it is declared, merely because
Signora Coremilas asked him to, and
she is declared, merely because she
wanted look in on Roman society.
Between this allegation and the fact
that 1t was under the administration
of Signor Coremilas that relations be-
tween Italy and Greece became much
strained, Rome prepared to give cold
shoulder to Signora Coremilas.
A number of the Roman papers sug-
gested that if the American wife of the
Greek minister had merely wanted to
come to Rome because she had the |
dea that Rome was something OF
Climatic resort, she woulud likely find
lerself mistaken They intimated that
he would encounter a rather frosty

Gives Real Experience.

The article gives some very interest
! ing experience Of Mr. Wallis while
making his crusade on slaughter
houses in Idaho, likewise showing the
excellent results of such crusade he
| had achieved The article graphicai-
| " describes the work of the inspector
in forcing sanitation among the coun
try barns where dairy herds were
kept and of the subsequent success.
Mr.. Russell then tells of the cleaning
up of Pure Food Grafters' eminat-
into a few paragraphs on the
cleaning up of certain county jail
in Idaho mo name mentioned in
which it became necessary for court
officials to send prisoners to another
county until the Jail had been made
sanitary. The article describes how
the inspector found conditions 'horri-
ble'' among certain poor farms which
were subsequently made more sani
tary and comfortable and then the
story launches into his campaign for
"honest weight" The work he
in the patent medicine
expose has caused many drug
gists in Idaho to buy such goods with
a degree of caution and then tells OF
some more equally interesting ex-
periences of the inspector in connec-
ton with his work. In conclusion the |
article says:
School Children as Sanitarians.
Mr.. Wallis's latest plan is to stir
he high school pupils into vital in
crest in the problems of municipal
anitation. He has offered three cash
,rizes for the best essay on how school
hildren can cooperate in the work OF

son reverses the process by starting
in the outskirts and if her new play
gets by, she will then bring it to
a Broadway house.
The new play shows a clever woman
in double sense, for no one can deny
that Miss Robson is clever, as well as
portraying a clever character. She is
one of the stars that can play New
York when she wants to. but seems to
prefer the road work. In that she is
like Tim Murphy, Mackyn, Arbuckle
and several others who always pet the
glad hand on Broadway. but stay long
enough to make their admirers won

Sounds IA Warming.
In Help Wanted" Oliver Morosco's
new play at the Maxine Elliott theatre,
! there is a warning note sounded to the
ambitious but too trusting girl who
starts out in the world to make her
own living. The piece, by Jack Lait,
portrays with startling realism, yet
inoffensively, the net spread for the
stenographer who happens to be young
and pretty and off her guard
Gertie, the stenographer in this
play is like a thousand girls who
leave stenographic schools, with big
eyes like stars, teeth like pearls and
grounded in everything but knowledge. |
She is employed by willy old man, |
who appears to her to be angelicly |
kind.
He does not reveal his real interest
in her until she has fallen in love with
his foster-son. Then the hero saves
the situation and they live happily
ever after.

His Work Recognized.

MIR. Wallis told of his work al the
last convention of the Association of
State and National Pure Food Inspec-
tors and was promptly elected presi-
dent OF the organization. In this new
capacity he is seeking to force amend
ments to the pure food law which will
give federal inspectors the same juris-
diction over the premises in which food
is prepared as they now have over the
finished product and which will make
it more difficult for food adulterators
to indulge in label-faking and evasion
of the law by using strange names in
stead of well known names for danger

SPIES ACTIVE At
GATES OF PARIS
Parties in Automobiles Return
Fire of Sentinels in Out
skirts of City.
Bx the Associated Press.

PARIS. Sept. 1S.-Beginning today.
no automobiles will be allowed to
leave Paris except military ambu-
lances and cars carrying officials and
journalists bound to and from Bor-
deaux 1t is thought this action may
be due to the use of automobiles by
spies.
Two cars, one black and one green,
have been speeding around the out
skirts of Paris defying the challenges
of sentinels. Both automobiles were
driven by chauffeurs wearing French
uniforms and carrying passengers in
plain clothes, who in some cases have
returned the fire directed at them by
sentinels., There seems to be no
doubt that the cars We're used by
spies to locate positions of troops in
the vicinity of Paris.
Two more Germans, a woman and
her daughter, suspected of spying,
were driven from Saint Michel-S Sur
Orge amid the hootings of the popu-
lace yesterday. Voluminous CORE
spondence with German officers have
been seized.
Paris newspapers contain com
plants from different quarters
against the leniency of the govern
ment toward German subjects leaving
Paris for provincial points, some of
whom have SINCE disappeared. and II
is thought likely they have resumed
their vocation of spying.
