ALLIES DEMAND
! CREEKS DECISION
THRONE OF GREEK KING MAY BE
LOST AS RESULT OF ATTi-
TUDE OF GREEKS.
King Constantine Will be Remindec
That His Retention of Throne
Depends Upon Continuance of
Friendly Neutrality.

London.-The intimation of the
Greek government that any entente
allied troops seeking refuge in Greek
trritory will be disarmed has been
the cause of considerable anxiety tt
the entene powers, and consequently
Field Marshal Earl Kiteheners neal
east visit gains added Importance
According to belated dispatches re,
ceiyed from Athens, Greece bases her
decision on international law, while
the entente ministers contend that
the right accorded troops to enter tAe
country through Saloniki permits
them to retire by the same route,
should it become necessary for them
to do so.
The ministers are demanding that
Greece unequiyocally define the atti
tude she will observe should such an
ventuality present itself.
Besides the claim to hospitality
which the entente allies declare they
have on Greece, in view Of Premier
Venizelos' invitation to them to send
force to Saloniki to enable Greece to
fulfill her treaty obligations to Serbia.
which, however, Greece repudiated
Earl Kitchener and the entente min
listers are likely to draw the attention
of King Constantine and his govern
ment to the fact that the constitu-
tionalism of Greece was guaranteed
by France, Russia and Great Britain
and that it was only obtained after
Great Britain had ceded the lonian isl
ands to the country and the three
powers had agreed to contribute
$4,000 ($20,0Oo) yearly for the per
sonal use of the king.
This, it is contended, binds the
Greek people to the entente allies,
and should King Constantine override
the constitution, which the followers
of M. Venizelos insist he did Wnen he
dissolved the chamber, it is suggested
in some quarters that King Constan
tine would be reminded that his re
tention of the throne OF Greece de
ponds on the continuance of friendly
neutrality toward the entente powers.

NOVEL FEAT IN SURGERY
Skin Is Grated on Body OF En-

of skin knitting perfectly on his
back, David Reed of Denison, a Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railroad en-
gineer, presents what surgeons here
state is one of the most remarkable
surgical cases ever known in the

surface by escaping steam in a train

Reed was brought to a local sanitari-
um, where the sixteenth patch of skin

Questions are often asked about
the desirability OF early winter pFun-
ing of orchard trees. Some people
have a notion that seariy pruning
causes more watersprouts and heavy
growth than will be the case II the
pruning is delayed until late winter.
Others are fearful Of cutting limbs
after the sap begins to fow or after
buds have started.
The horticultural department at the
Ohio College OF Agriculture states that
as a general rule winter pruning pro-
notes wood growth. while summer
pruning checks growth Of trees. II

He will be in Washington several DAYS

Senator Martina There is no disputinE
this. When l was in California I went
to Sacramento to see Gov Johnston He

son has won the hearts OF the people
Tried to Work Off Tariff Stuff"
Members of our party were royalty
treated wherever We went and a num-
Der of speeches were made here and
there. Jim Mann. Hamp' Moore and
Joe Cannon tried to work off on the
people the familiar republican stun
about hard times and the low tariff Of
the democrats. But they didn't get
away with much OF 1t. I had occasion
to reply to them frequently and !
found the people wonderfully respon-
sive to praise of President Wilson and
his achievements. or course, there 10
still division of sentiment on the
tariff. but the people are not thinking
of these things in the face of the
great international problems before
the country.
Besides. great wave or prosperity
Is on its way to the United States.
Signs of 1t are everywhere. In the
face OF good times the republicans will
have nothing that will get the sympathy
of the majority Of the people.
Predicts Mr. Wilson's Reelection.
President Wilson will be renomi-
mated and reelected. 1t would be
sheer stupidity to fail to renominate
him. and the people are too friendly to
him to reject him.
MY republican colleagues who spoke
in Hawaii intimated to the people of
that territory that there probably will
be some relief. through congressional
action, of the free sugar provision OF
the existing tariff law. / have no
doubt an effort will be made in Con
gress this winter to repeal that pro-
vision and restore the duty on sugar.
1 told the Hawaiian people that they
need not expect much in this direction.
They have. the richest lands in the
world and do not need the protection
of q high tariff for sugar I do not
think that there will be any repeal of
the free sugar provision that becomes
effective next March"

tain Villas army Is poorly fed and

DOUBTS ]. s. RIGHT
TO HALT BUILDING
Col. Harts Does Not Think
Plans for Structure on Mall
Could Be Interfered With.

1t is doubtful II any government of
ficial has the right to interfere with
the execution OF the plans for $780,
900 office building to be erected on the
west half of the block bounded by 18th
and 1917, D and E streets northwest
even though the government Is to
utilize that property some day for park
purposes. Such is the opinion of Col.
Harts. engineer in charge Of public
buildings and grounds.
With reference to the possible effect
on the Mcmillan park plan of private
Avenue desired for an extension Of the
Mall, Col. Harris said he felt a deli
cacy in expressing himself. He said
that, while the land should and would
be acquired for government purposes,
he realized 1t might not be done in
the near future, and 1t was a question
with him whether private improve
pended in, view of the possibility that
the government might find it neces-
sary to condemn them ultimately at a
greatly increased cost.
Although secretary Of the fine arts
commission. he was not authorized to
speak for the commission. especially
as the commission had not considered
the subject for many months.
No Meeting Recently.
He was prepared to say. however,
that the commission had not had a
meeting since the announcement of
plans for the erection of a 3750.00o
building on the west half Of the Avenue
front Of the square on which the South
ern railroad building is located. He
was not sure that any official of the
government had Jurisdiction in the
matter. even should there be a disposi-
tion to interfere with the execution of
the plans for the proposed improve
ments.
Col. Harts said today he heartily
favored the acquisition by the govern
ment for park purposes of the area
bounding the Mall and lying south of
Pennsylvania avenue. He said that
was feature of the Mcmillan plan for
the systematic development of the
parking system Of the District and had
been warmly approved by every one
having the real interests of the Ma
tional Capital at heart. Tho commits
sion of fine arts Is on record, he said,
in favor of the Mcmillan plan of de-
veloping the Mall and considers all
matters of construction submitted to
it with special reference to the exc
cution Of the general plan of develop
ment of the park system.

tai Evidence From Employees
of Broker Office,
TRACES BANKERS DEALS
IN MEXICAN SHARES
Trying to Show Mrs. Barklie's
Checks Not Used for Pur-
poses Intended.

The government continued today the
introduction of testimony to rebut the
claim OF counsel for John William
Henry, broker. indicted for embezzling
checks aggregating $4,000 sent to the
firm of Lewis johnson & Co by Mrs.
Isabel Barklie of Wayne. Pa, for in
vestment: that their client had pur-
chased Mexican petroleum stock and
had sufficient stock in his possession to
cover the investment of Mrs. Barklie.
Three witnesses were presented for this
purpose before Justice Siddons and a
jury in Criminal Division 2.
Miss Jane Corby, telegrapher in the
York stock brokers. identified order
books of the firm kept largely by her,
but in which at least two other clerks
occasionally made entries. Assistant
certain dates at or about the time
Henry received checks from Mrs. Bark
lie to the order of Lewis johnson & Co.
and asked the witness if the books
showed at those times purchases of
Mexican Petroleum stock correspond
ing to the items shown on a statement
rendered to Mrs. Barklie by Lewis
Johnson & Co: The witness answered
many of the questions in the negative,
but read items of purchases by Henry
of Mexican Petroleum stock.
Governments Contention.
BY going through the items Of the
account with the witness the govern
ment clearly indicated that 1t widl
contend that the dealings OF Henry in
these stocks with Hartman & Co. were
not for the account of Mrs. Barklie, but
were individual stock transactions.
Attorneys Daniel Thew Wright and
Woy he al
on cross-examination that October 16,
1912. Henry placed two orders for
Mexican Petroleum. one for 300 shares
and another for 500 shares.
The witness also said that on date
when she was asked by the government
If the books showed a purchase Of 200
shares by Henry and she had answered
negatively the books disclosed a purchase
Of 800 shares OF Mexican Petroleum and
not 200 shares, as she had been asked
Miss Corby also testified that February
is, 1914. Henry had made an additional
purchase Of 500 shares.
Unable to Identify Orders.
James G. Wright, former cashier
for Hartman & Co.. was called. and
admitted that he sometimes made en-
tries in the order books. He was un-
able to identify any of the items Sc
lected by the United States attorney
as being in his handwriting. and he
was excused
Mrs. William A. Kemper. stenogra-
pher and clerk to G. Bowie Chapman,
local manager for Hartman & Co, also
testified. She was also taken through
the Barklie account item for item and
asked to point out purchases or alb
sence of purchases on the order books
at OF about the dates indicated. She
was cross-examined at length by At
torney Wright for the defense.

as well as suggestions of foreign medi-
ators in Mexicos internal trouble. His
attitude. as expressed to the United
States. therefore, was no surprise to
officials in Washington.
Possibility, however, that Carranza
does not understand the earnestness
of the United States in demanding
restoration of peace in Mexico is
recognized by officials. Carranza prob
can hope for the moral support of the
United States he must adopt con-
ciiatory attitude towrd his oppo-
nents. 1t is believed tht this is the
object. of the mission of Charles A.
Douglas and Elceo Arredondo, Wash
ington representatives of Carranza,
who leave here today to confer with
him
Gen. Carranza announces that he
would soon dominate the situation and
grant amnesty to those not guilty of
crimes. He says, however. that Gen.
Villa and his associates must either
leave the country or be tried by a mill
itary court.
Red Cross Report.
A summary of reports to the Ameri-
can Red Cross says:
I'm Mexico City thousands are beg
ging for food. and f1ocking about sta
tions where food supplies are being
distributed by foreign relief committees
and sometimes by the government. Be
fore the harvest is ready both the city
and country will be in a much more
distressing condition. The price OF
corn and beans is six times the previ-
Gus price, bakeries have closed for lack
of flour and foodstuffs are obtainable
only in small quantities. A weeks
cessation of supplies would bring the
entire city to almost a starvation point
Conditions in Durango are better
than they are in any north Mexican
state, but at that they are very dis
tressing. Lately there were dangerous
food riots. There may be food supplies
enough to last until the first of Au-
gust. The wheat crop is only 20 per
cent of normal
The probable planting this year is
30 per cent of normal because of the
great scarcity of seed, corn. lack of
oxen and mules. the disinclination of
the people to work because of revoIu-
tionary interference and the depreciat-
ed paper currency.
"One danger of the present situation
is that neither the general public nor
the needy will know that the supply
of corn is exhausted until after the
last liter of corn has been sold. When
the needy go to buy their daily supply
they will be told there is no more"
