as having said that the Greek govern

As the chief objection to former Pre-
mier Venizelos's policy of helping the
Allies against Turkey was declared TO

To her neighbors the young widow
was a woman of mystery. She was last
seen alive on Saturday afternoon BY

When Merwin Maise, the janitor,
heard dogs barking in the apartment
he triea J.. vain TO arouse Mrs. De-

BRITISH WOMEN

More than 1000 Answer Gov

London, March 81. More than 1000
women, representing all classes of so
ciety, have responded already to the
governments appeal for female work
ers to take the places of men in bust
ness and industry, in order that more
recruits may be provided for Lord
Kitcheners great army. The offices
of the Central Labor Exchange were
besieged by women on Saturday. The
majority of them were from the we'll
to-do middle class. An outstanding
feature was the willingness of the
applicants TO take up the line Of work
for which they were considered by
the officials to be best fitted.
One woman of good position, who n"s
had experience in India in the use of
horses, offered to drive delivery
wagon. Another wrote: 81 am the
mother Of five soldiers and sailors, and

further men to 90 and fight

London. March 2l.-The relations be-
tween Italy and Austria are believed to
have reached an acute stage. dis
patch from Rome says Austrian and
German subjects have been advised by
their consuls to leave Italy in the
shortest possible time, and that null
bcr of Germans who recently arrived
in the peninsula are being watched be-
cause of the suspicion that they are
military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts to secure
the continued neutrality of Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory to her were not meet
ing with success. Italy, it was said,
was demanding that the territory be
handed over TO her at once, but the
Teutonic allies desired to make the
transfer after the war.
Following this came reports that
Austria had commenced strengthening
her southern frontier, and, according

After fighting wind and tide for
more than half an hour Joseph NJ. Ford
was drowned at Seaside, Rockaway, yes

Of them were his friends, and many
vain Attempts were made TO reach him.
He went down for the last time three
minutes before the Arverne lifesaving
crew swept over the spot.
Ford was superintendent Of the old
iron Pier at Rockaway. lie had held
that post for many years. Though the
steamboats, have been docking of re-
cent years on the Jamaica Bay side, and
the pier is given over to amusement
resorts, Ford still took pride in the
great structure. 1t is $50 feet long
Repairs on the pier have been under
way for some time. Ford returned to

Of Ford, had watched his progress to

he could, the three were barely half
way out on the pier. They raced to
shore shouting the alarm.
Three hundred people or more we're
on the beach. At that hour most Of
them were residents of the vicinity. and
TO many the pier superintendent was

Depite his efforts the wind-whppcd

gain an inch toward land, though his
struggles made his eastward drift slow.
Still Ford fought gamely, though his
drift toward Long Beach was nov a
little swifter than at first. Along the
sands the anxious crowd kept pace with
him. Their hopes now rested on the
lifesaVeTs from Arvernc, to whom a
