PHOENIX COMES
 INTO HER OWN
Action of Reclamation Com mission No Surprise to Those Acquainted With Situation - Hanna Has Great Task Ahead of Him

That restoration of the office of the supervising engineer of the southern reclamation district to Phoenix. which has been expected since the appointment of Frank W. Hanna to the job, is now q certainty. Washington wired so to Hanna yes terday morning.
 It was a decision of the reclama- tion commission, through the recom- mendations of Hanna to Chief En- gineer Davis that brought about this change. Hanna has realized for some time that Phoenix and not Los An geles was the central point in the district, although it happened to be quite convenient to jump out of the California office to all the projects. But railroad convenience is not everything. and the desire and nec- essity of being on the ground, where work is being done, influenced the commission in making it's decision.
 With Hanna are two other officers well known by reason of the fact they have both operated in the Salt River Valley: District Counsel W. s. Witbeck and Chief Clerk S E. Taggart With Tag" it is d case of coming back among friends for while Louis C. Hill was supervising engineer. and before the appointment of C. H. Fitch as project engineer, and in the days when the main of flee was located in Phoenix, Tageart was one of the projects best known workers. WitbecII is also well known here, having lived in the valley be- fore the officers were moved to southern California
 The discovery of quarters for the offices will be matter of not little importance There is slight over crowdng in sthe reclamation offices. which now include by far the ma jority of the rooms in the Water Users building In his ignorance of conditions in the Federal building, Hanna yesterday suggested quarters there. Fortunately none of the Fed eral building tenants heard the idea or there would have been an awful and piercing cry. Already the Fed eral building has been Outgrown, and everybody in it is casting about for more elbow room.

KING CONSTANTINE OF GREECE AND GREEK
OFFICERS.
Greeks in Turkey and reparation of
damages caused to them and their in

Greece accuses Turkey of the whole
sale expulsion with great cruelties of
Greek Christians from the province of
Thrace. while Turkey accuses Greece
of expressing former Turkish subjects
in the region Of Saloniki, which was
taken by the Greeks in the recent Bal

patriarch threatened to remove the
headquarters of the church from Con-
stantinople.
The proposed sale of the American
battleships Mississippi and Idaho to
Greece has also stirred up the suspi-
cions and the ire of Turkey. Greece
maintains that the acquisition of the
two ships would increase the chances
of peace and restore the naval balance
between the two countries.
The Turkish ambassador to the Unit
ed States expressed the other day his
governments views regarding this
controversy as follows:
1.-THE contention that the sale of two
battleships, the Idaho and the Missis-
sippi, will restore the naval balance
between Turkey and Greece and would
prevent the explosion of hostilities be-
tween the two countries is faulty. If
the two American battleships come
into the possession of Greece before
Turkey gets the two battleships now
under construction for her it win add
to the considerable superiority she al
ready enjoys over Turkey.
