GREEKS lombard
TOWNS IN ALBANIA
Attack MuSsulman Posi-
ton at GFeghi and
Force a Retreat.

London, Oct. 27.-According to a
message reaching Rome from Avlona,
Albania, telegraphs the correspondent
Of the Exchange Telegraph in the ltal-
ian capital, 900 regular Greek soldiers,
with one battery of artillery, have ar
rived at Vasir and attacked the Mus
SULLIVAN position at Gheghi, forcing a
retreat. The Greeks then started Cor
kercioyo.
Advices from the interior declare
that Greek Epirotes have bombarded,
burned and occupied the villages of
Scialisi, Bust, Tepeleni, Rubzi and
Premed. These last mentioned towns
are in Albania, not far from the Gre
clan frontier.
The Greek diplomatic representatives
at the capitals of the great powers
have given official notice Of the deci-
sion of the Hellenic government TO re-
occupy Eprus, from which the Greek
army was withdrawn in March in pr
surance OF the decision reached at the
ambassadors conference fixing the
status of that country.
Greece claims that this decision IS
based upon the necessity of re-estab-
fishing order and security in a coun-
try adjacent to her territory now rid
died with anarchy, but at the same
time she declares that this reoccupa-
ton is purely provisional measure
and that she has no intention of inter
vening in the Avlona district,

AVIATOR HERO WINS
POINT FOR ALLIES

Paris. Oct. 81 Before he died, Sen
stor Emile Raymond, president Of the
National Aviation Commission, whose
machine was brought down by German
gunfrc last week, dictated long ard
clear report of his reconnaissance
which proved very useful to the French
commanders.
Senator Reymond's death also was
the occasion Of feat Of arms. His
machine had landed between the
trenches of the French and the Ger
mans. and where the latter were pat
ticularlv strong. The French had
sought for twenty days to dislodgc
them strategically, which was slow
and difficult process, and costly in men.
When the aeroplane fell the Ger
mans rushed from the trenches and
fell upon the machine. Thereupon the
French engaged the Germans in hand
to-hand fighting, which assumed great
violence. and after some time the
Allies succeeded in gaining the much
wanted position.

George G. Carothers, because he sent to
Washington dispatches saying the reb-
els had taken Torreon from the Huerta
forces, failed to disturb state depart
ment officials today. The Huerta gov
ernment still denies Torreon has fall

Mr.. Carothers obtained his excqua-
tur when he was accredited to the Ma =

Torreon. Since the outbreak of the

with the constitutionaIists. 1t is the
intention of the American government
to keep Carothers with Villa and the
constitutionalist representatives to
make reports of safety of Americans
and other foreigners and to look after
their interests Should Mr.. Carothers
find it necessary to go into territory
controlled by the Huerta government
he may not be able to do business
with its local authorities but there
is no prospect that he personally will
be inconVenienced or prevented from
making observations.
Official advices telling of the eNpul-
sion of the six hundred Spaniards from
Torreon by General Villa We're eX-
pected during the day. Until the
Spanish ambassador calls it TO the at
tention of state department here, there
is little likelihood of any action by the
Washington government, The United
States government itself has issued
warning to its own subjects to leave
those parts of Mexico where military
operations are being carried OH and
has more than once intimated that
other governments might well take
similar steps. The right of deporta-
ton is one provided for under the Mex
lean constitution and has been eXer-
cised alike by the Huerta government
and the COnstitutionalists for alleged
or financial support of the
enemy and for various other reasons.
No request for recognition of the
Constitutionalists has been made by
General Carranza. President Wilson
indicated today that the United States
would be guided by developments as
they arose in determining such ques-
tions The president, however. spoke
of the practice which the American
previously had followed
with respect to Mexico and had point
ed out that Washington waited almost
two years TO recognize Porfirio Diaz a
half century ago.
Mr. Riano, the ambassador from

WHY He NAMED
PROF. DANIELS
And at the Same Time he
Enunciated Principle That

ton of all Public Servants
Of Late.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, April 6.--Pres. Wilson
today enunciated the principle that
is guiding him in the selection of pub
lie servants. He said he did not be
lieve in choosing men who would de
eide questions in a certain way, but
would select those whom he knew to
be just and fair. The president re-
marked that. to him, it seemed justice
was the hardest thing in the world to
obtain and that it required more cour-
age than any other one thing.
MI. Wilson was discussing his APP
pointment of Prof. Winthrop VI. DAN
ielS to the interstate commerce COM
mission. The confirmation was OBJ
tained only after Il vigorous contest
in the senate. The president referred
to Mr.. Daniels as a Just and enlight-
cned man. He had known him inti-
mateIy for twenty-five years and he
considered him a person of unusual
ability.
Mr.. Daniels arrived here today and
was sworn in as q member of the COM

OERBARR|NG
LIQUOR IN NAVY
IS DISCUSSED
One OF the Most Sweeping
OF the Recent Orders by
Secretary Daniels Causes
Quite a Sensation Among
Naval Officers.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


Washington, April 6.-Secretary
Daniels's order barring the use Of al
coholic liquors i'll the navy, effective
after July ], next, was generally dis
cussed in naval and other circles here
today. The order, one of the most
sweeping ever promulgated by the
navy department.. not only aboIishes
the traditional wine mess" of the Of
ticers, but will bar all alcoholic liquors
from every ship and shore station of
the navy.
Surgeon General Braisted recon-
mcnded it after an exhaustive inves-
tiga ton.
While declining to discuss for pub
lication the effect of the order naval
officers privately expressed the belief
it may fail of its purpose-to prevent
or decrease drunkenness within the
navy. In effect, the order does no
more than abolish the wine mess. No
distilled spirits are sold in the wine
mess-only wines and beer.
Officers contend it is absurd to sup
pose that men ever become drunkards
on beer or champagne. They express
the opinion that the order will curtail
their personal liberty and prevent their
affording visitors from foreign navies
the wines which they are accustomed
to on their own vessels.
The order was hailed with joy here
today by the prohibition forces who
declare il will have a great influence
in the furtherance of the temperance
cause.
When asked today TO comment on
the order President Wilson said it was
strictly a department matter. 1t is
understood that the president was not
consulted by Mr.. Daniels before he is
sued the order and no one processes
to know whether it had the presidents
approval
