GREECE SENDS BILL TO
 SECRETARY BURLESON

PARIS: A difference has arisen between the United States and Greece in regard to settlements on interna- tional postal money orders. The American Government has been pay ing balances in favor of Greece ac- cording to the usual procedure, by check on Paris. The international postal convention provides that these obligations are payable in gold by check on Paris"
 The Greek government contends that on account of the decline in ex- change rates it has lost more than 500,00O francs, ($10O,000) and has presented a bill for the amount to Washington.
 It is understood here that the American government declines to make this payment. The Greek gov !ernment now offers to submit the question to international arbitration, but Washington thus far has not ac- |cepted the suggestion.

 ed or Maimed for Life.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-That the Safety First" slogan does not apply in New York is indicated by the an- nual report of the police department which shows that the number of ac- cidents on the streets during the past year has maintained an average of one person hurt every twenty min utes during the entire year.
 A majority of the accidents are due to automobiles. but street cars have claimed the greater number in fatal accidents The police will recom- mend the city pass more stringent laws in regard to machines being op- erated in certain portions of the city except by licensed drivers, as it has been found that in many cases the accidents have been caused by inex- perienced drivers becoming confused during the hours of heavy traffic.
 The report of the police depart ment also shows an alarming increase in the number of suicides during the year over that of previous years. es- pecially among foreign born chill dren.

The freighters Seward and La- touche on the last trip southward called at Cordova and took on nearly four thousand tons of copper ore from the Kennecott mine. The Latouche took 1850 tons and the Seward 2000 tons relieving the ore congestion at the dock and also cleaning up some of that piled in the railroad yards. But as every train from Kennecott is bringing a big shipment from the mine to Cordova, there will be plenty of ore always on hand to supply all the southbound vessels with full car goes.

WILL PRESS HIS
 HOUSE RESOLUTION
Massachusetts Representative Wants National Defense Advocates
 Cleared of Charges.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 28.- Representative Augustus P. Gardner. of Massachusetts. who introduced a resolution in the house providing that a select house committee be ap- pointed to investigate the naval de- fense crusade, says he will push his resolution as he is tired of the in- situations that his motive is cor rupt.
 Mir. Gardner said he was taking the pacifist and propagandist bulls by the horns. He added:
 "I am getting little tired of in- situations, and even allegations, that my motives are corrupt. If we na- tional defense advocates are a parcel of crooks the sooner the country knows of it the better. If we are honest men the time has come to call our calumniators to account.
 "I believe the House, in addition to Investigating organizations. ought to investigate the activities of public men, including myself, on both sides of this question to see whether di- rectly or indirectly, by dividends, ad- dresses, writings, or otherwise. we are making money or trying to make money out of our propaganda. either for ourselves or others"

SAYS YAK STEAKS WILL BE POPULAR
Professor Georgeson of the Govern. ment Experimental Station
 Would Try Experiment.

Yak steaks may become an Alaska delicacy if c. c. Georgeson. chief of the government agricultural experi- ment stations in Alaska, can secure an appropriation from congress to i'm port the animals from Mongolia. He wants the government to breed a new strain of yak cattle by crossing the Asiatic yak with domestic Galloway cattle with which the government stations are stocked.
 He says cattle can be raised in in terior Alaska, but they have to be protected in winter by log shelters, and the problem of feeding is some what difficult. But the yak needs no coddling; he can survive the sever est winter and begin the spring in good condition.
 MT. Georgeson has been getting in- formation from the Russian govern ment in Siberia. Experiments in crossing the yak with common cat tie in Mongolia have been successful. Both the yak and his hybrid offspring are hardy: they obtain their feed through long, cold winters practically without the aid of owners. They are used for beef and for milk. as we'll as work animals.
 MT Georgeson's suggestion is an other illustration of the plans that are being laid to make Alaska self sustaining. It has been demonstrat ed that various crops can be raised here If Alaskans can be assured of yak steaks and fried potatoes, both produced by themselves, they ought to be reasonably secure against star vation

 New York During October.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.--It is an- aounced by the Belgian Relief com mittee of New York that thirty ships carrying supplies from the United States to Belgium were dispatched during the month of October and that all have reached their destinations, and the provisions are now being distributs4, by the commissioners.
