TWO CITIES PLANNING
TO MAKE WAR ON FLIES
Washington and Philadelphia in
Campaign for Betterment Of
Public Health.

Warrington and Philadelphia will en-
gage in ann-dy campaigns this summer
which promise to usher in improved
local authorities, health officials of Phil
adelphia are endeavoring to educate the
public to the Importance of keeping up
a continuous attack on the hy. and al
ready there are gratifying results.
A special fly bulletin has been issued
by the bureau Of health Of Philadelphia
which contains suggestions in line with
those advanced by the Washington au-
thorities.
Enumeration Of Facts.
Among some Of the important facts set
forth are that a ny cannot develop from
an egg. which must have undisturbed
Nth to grow in. in less than eight days,
and. therefore. II all fifth Is cleaned UP
or destroyed at least once a week egg
will not have time to develop and there
will be no files.
This truth has a local application In
the case Of each householder when there
Is taken into account the additional fact
that flies seldom travel farther than zoo
yards from their places Of birth.
In other words. IL each citizen would
see to 1t that all territory within a 300
yard radius Of his home is kept clean and
that all rubbish which might serve as a
breeding place for flies Is removed from
this area at least once a week the insects
would soon become extinct.
To eliminate flies. both tho Philadel-
phia and local health officers recommend
that garbage receptacles be kept tightly
covered; that stables be maintained in a
sanitary condition: that drainage sys-
TENS be treated with kerosene. and that
all premises be kept clear of accumu-
lations OF rubbish.
Among the Don'ts.
Among the "don'ts" recommended are:
Don't allow files near food, especially
milk.
Don't buy foodstuffs where flies are al
lowed.
Don't buy milk where flies are on the
cans or bottles.
Don't eat where flies are found.
Don't forget the screens.
Don't forget to write to the health de.
partment II there is a nuisance in the
neighborhood.
Don't forget-"No dirt. no flies

GREEK CHARGE REPLIES
TO TURK ACCUSATION
Vouros Denies BIS Country q Forced
to Be Peaceable Because
Weak.

Not tho weakness Of the Greek feet,
I out the unwtllingness Of the government
10 nave an unnecessary war forced on
Greece Is the real reason Of the efforts
being made in Athens to avoid drastic
consequences Of the friction that now
exists between Greece and Turkey. This
contention IL made In q statement Is
sued here yesterday from the Greek le-
sauon oS Alexander Vouros, charge
d'affaires.
mo statement points out that the
Greek navy is stronger than the Turkish
navy. This was demonstrated beyond
question in the last two engagements
between the navies Of the two countries.
The estimate Of comparative strength
made by Mr.. Vouros in tho statement, OF
course. does not take into consideration
the addition Of new fighting craft t.
either navy.
Replies to Envoy.
Tho statement from tho Crock legation
takes up points made in an interview
given out here a few days ago by Rus
tum Bey, the new Turkish ambassador.
Mr.. Vouros says:
Turkey, having allowed outrages to
be committed for the purpose Of driving
the entire Greek population from its
borders, has also instituted q well sus-
tained policy tending to convince the
civilized world that Greece and not Tur-
key, Is responsible for the wholesale
exodus OF Greeks from Turkey.
The party now controlling tho gov
eminent, contrary to the age-old policy
Of Turkey. has openly embarked on a
new policy of persecution and confisca-
ton that has driven thousands OF
Greeks across the sea to Greece. The
Turkish government has only recently.
and as a result Of Representations made
to them by the Greek government. pun
ished some OF tho Turks who despoiled
communities without the slightest cause.
Need the Room.
The motive of the unjust proceedings
against the Greeks in Asia Minor has
been to make room in Turkey for the
Mussulmans, who immigrated from the
territory coded to the Balkan allies. The
Mussulmans have retired into Turkey,
wishing to continue under Turkish rule
The Turkish government, without the
slightest regard for rights or property,
mas quartered the Mussulman immigrants
even given them the right to. live in
Christian homes, supported at the ex-
pense Of the Greeks. When the Greeks
have objected or resisted, they have
been prosecuted and driven out
Now the statement is made that the
Greek government in an attempt to
lure to Macedonia the Greeks that are
In Turkey. has spread mendacious re-
ports In Turkey and throughout the CIV
ilized world In order to brighten the
Greeks and compel them to make this
much advertised exodus q reality. This,
on the face Of 1t, is absurd. Neither las
an economic proposition nor as a pa
triotic undertaking could the Greek gov
eminent possibly desire to bring into its
borders Greeks who are poverty-stricken
without the means Of beginning life
anew, and in such situation as to be
liabilities instead Of assets for the state.
Furthermore, 1t Is worse than absurd
to charge that Greece could in any way
be responsible for the murders and out
RACES committed upon the Greeks"
