AT THE THROAT OF THE NEUrRALs.


King Constantine's complaint that Greece
is being deprived of her sovereignty by the de-
mands of the Allies is not far wrong. The
commercial blockade which Great Britain has
twice applied is nothing less than determined
pressure to force Greece into the war as an
ally of the Entente Powers.
It is becoming quite apparent that the lesser
Kingdoms of Europe are to be forced into the
war whether or not they desire to fight and
with little reference to the rights of the situa
ton.
Afew days ago a casual announcement from
London spoke of the British navy holding
Greek merchantmen to their ports. Soon
after a. despatch said that the Entente Allies
we're planning an economic and commercial
blockade of Greek ports " as a sign of the re
sentiment felt at the failure of Greece to fulfil
its treaty obligations with Serbia. =
A day or two after that it was Officially
denied in London that any commercial
blockade had been applied. Yet, less than
week later, a despatch from London spoke Of
the blockade having been put in operation
again. -
The probability is that these reports and
denials marked the varying progress of ne
gotiations between Greece and the Allied
diplomats When Greece seemed on the point
of accepting, the blockade was relieved. When
Greece drew back, the screws we're put on.
If the veil Of censorship could be torn aside
il would probably be found that the Entente
Powers are driving Greece into war on theil
side by the exercise of their colossal sea-powel
on Grecian commerce. Whatever the excuse, il
does not appeal to the neutral as aught but an
exhibition of brutality directed by callous
state-craft--the same sort of brutality as was
in evidence a few months ago when Germany
demanded passage across Rumania for mum
tions for Turkey. Military necessity is. the
justification in both cases.
The American may or may not agree with the
reasons which have caused King Constantine
to strive to hold his country neutral He may
or NAV not agree that the Allies must have
Greek aid to win the new Balkan campaign
In any event he can hardly be unmoved at the
ideaof the Entente Powers gripping Greece by
the throat and demanding aid upon penalty OF
starvation.
The German submarine warfare upon mer
chant vessels, with its decorative embellish
ments of the Lusitania and Arabic sinkings;
the British commercial blockade of neutral
ports with which the United States were trad
ing-both of these have somewhat prepared
America for violation of international law and
neutral rights. Greece, whose commerce is
necessary to her existence is now feeling the
iron hand of military necessity" The doc
trine is repugnant to the New World. But until
the neutrals combine and stand together, the
Old World dynasties will continue to argue for
the divine right of kings and to hold that "the
state" must stand though mercy and justice
and conscience individual rights and truth and
honor, be trampled underfoot

Murdered Man
Strikes Terror
byGoing Home

MILWAUKEE,, July IA man
believed to have been murdered, and
identified in the morgue by relatives
as their kin, returned today to his
awe-stricken family.
The man is Frank Klug. He was
supposedly murdered August %, near
Lake Station. Mich Georgian was ar
rested for the murder and on Decem-
Der 5, 1914, was sentenced to 25 years
Imprisonment.
According to attorneys and officials,
the fact that Klug has returned will
make no difference in the sentence
imposed on Georgian. The fact that
a man was murdered was well estab-
lished, they said. and the circum-
stantial evidence positively connected
Georgian with the crime. Georgian,
however, has continually denied his
guilt.
Klug disappeared after becoming
discouraged with his home conditions.
Fearing arrest for desertion, he made
no effort to communicate with his
family until recently, when a letter
from a friend gave him his first inti-
nation that he had been murdered"

MUCH DEPENDS ON
BOARDS PERSONNEL

July 10 Sixteen

UTASHINGTON, July l9.- sixteen
w American scientists to form,
with Thomas A. Edison as chairman,
the advisory board for the proposed
bureau of invention i'm the navy de-
partment, Will be selected 10y leading
scientific societies of the country.
Secretary Daniels announced today he
had written to the presidents of eight
societies asking that two members De
selected by each organization to be
come members of the board.
Following are the societies ad-
dressed through their president:
American Chemical Society Charles

The Ablcst Men.
Much depends on the personnel of
the committee sid Mr.. Daniels, in
announcing his plan, land | have been
desirOus first of all that 1t should be
made up of the ablest men in the
country who have demonstrated their
leadership in their profession. IL
would be comparatively easy for any
well Informed man to select half a
dozen names which would immedi-
latcly suggest themselves, but the de-
sire was to have a committee that
would not only in themselves insure
high service, but as well be represen-
tative Of the inventive and engineer
ing talent of their society.
After consultation with eminent
men i'm the navy and civilian life
have decided to ask eight societies
having large memberships each to
select two members who will make up
the advisory committee. In this way
feel sure we will have the hearty
cooperation of thousands of experts
The members Of these societies will
naturally see to it that their most
eminent representatives are chosen. We
will obtain for the navy the direct
advice of those selected to serve on
the committee and also the interest of
all members of the societies who make
the selection"
Mr.. Daniels explained that the Sc
lection of the eight societies did not
exclude other organizations OF the
same character. which it might be
found advisable TO call upon later, as
there is no final limitation on the
membership Of the committee. He
said that societies of marine engineers,
in many cases composed largely Of
present and former navy officers, had
not been included for the reason that
navy officers would constitute the
new bureau within the department
which the committee would aid

LIBERTY BELL TO
COME VIA TULSA
That Is Hope Of Chamber
of Commerce Which Has
Started Campaign.

As a result Of agitation started two
months ago by The World the Lib
erty Bell may come through this
city on its way back to Philadelphia
from the san Francisco exposition.
Secretary Edward q. Tilburne of
the chamber of commerce wrote let
ter yesterday to the commissioners in
charge of the Pennsylvania state
building at the fair, asking for the
itinerary of the bell on its return
trip.
when the first announcement was
made that the old bell was to be
taken to San Francisco The World
suggested that perhaps the relic might
be brought through Tulsa, either go
ing out of coming back.
1t was later found that the outgoing
journey took the bell over a northern
route.
1t has now been officially an
nounced that the bell will be returned
to Philadelphia "by way of Arizona
and Texas" 1t is known that it is
to go through St. Louis, and the only
feasible route from Texas to st. Louis
is BY way of Tulsa. But to make sure
that Tulsa will be given the oppOr-
tunity to see the cracked piece of iron
that rang out the joyful news of in
dependence proclaimed, the chamber
of commerce is going to eXpend every
effort toward cinching the arrange
ment
If a satisfactory reply is not re-
ceived to the letter sent yesterday to
San Francisco, steps will be taken
t. have the men in charge of the
bell change the route SO as to be
sure and include Tulsa on the
itinerary.
II the bell is exhibited here a
mighty celebration will be planned
to commemorate the occasion.
The bell will leave the fair next
December, at the close of the exposi-
tion.

new good roads law may be assessed
against an automobile or motorcycle
by county or municipality, accord
ing to an opinion given State High
way Commissioner A. n. Leecraft
late Monday by Assistant Attorney
General Smith c. Matson.
Definition of the law and its effects
on municipalities was asked by Com
missioner Leecraft as the result OF
Tulsas attempt to collect a city tax
in addition to the one levied by the
state. The commissioner expects the
attorney generals direct ruling on
the points az issue will stop the Tulsa
officials in their avowed stand against
the law.
After citing section 8, article Of
the roads law, Attorney General Mat
son, speaking for the entire attorney
generals office, said ut is our opin-
ion. therefore that Under such law no
other tax is permitted to be levied in
this state against such property
(meaning automobiles and motor
cycles privately owned and not ope-
rated in livery service) and a city
either operating under the general
statutes or under a charter form Of
government would have no authority
to tax the owners of private cars on
such vehicles"
