NO PRESSURE BY TEuToNs.

Vienna, Dec. 1O.-It is authoritative
ly stated here that the central powers
have brought no pressure whatever to
bear on Greece. The view is held that
the position of Greece is difficult in
the highest degree and that the
Greek government is endeavoring to
preserve not only neutrality but COM
p1ete independence. The position Is
taken here that pressure on Greece is
hardly called for and would even be
useless SO long as the Athens govern
ment is able to assert its own In
terests.
The interest Of the central powers,
it is stated, is merely that Greece
shall remain neutral, no more and no
less. Considering the condition Of the
country and that the Greek govern
ment itself sees that it is for the vel
fare Of the Greek people to remain
neutral, the central powers, it is as
serted, have no occasion to bring pres
sure to bear In Athens.

That the proposed southern Iowa

ed by Overton Harris & Sons, breed.
ers OF Hereford cattle.
The attitude of Mr.. Harris, who is
competent to Judge the value OF such
an enterprise as the proposed fair, to-
ward the project is set out unmistak-
ably by the nationally known cattle
breeder who has made plain why a
fair should be started here and how it
can be made successful and of untold
value to the community. "A list OF
questions were sent Mr.. Harris by
The Courier to learn his views With
regard to the wisdom OF holding the
proposed fair and his reply is one cfs
the best arguments advanced to date
in behalf of Ottumwa and the comm un-
ity organizing such movement for
the advancement Of this section sc

The list of questions and the an-

NEW POLITICAL ERA
STARTS IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, April 2S.-Elected may
or of Chicago by the greatest plurality
ever given a major candidate in the
Windy city. William Hale Thompson
was formally inaugurated head of
Americas second largest city. Retir-
ing Mayor Carter H. Harrison, well
comed his successor and conducted
the simple but impressive ceremonies
Thompson enters into his duties
with several radical and unique poll
cies in regard to alienation of the
unemployment problem, conduct Of
the city's affairs, and police warfare
on crime and criminals.
Perhaps the most unique policy
the new mayor has declared for is his
planned fight against unemployment.
II is his expressed plan to have the
council vote a sum sufficient to give
every patrolman on the street a dol
lar bill. This dollar is to be given
at the policemans discretion, to men
or women out of work, when the po-
lice knows them to be deserving.
Thompson's theory is that the police
man is closer to the average citizen
than all the charity organization
agents in the world and thereby the
one to do such work. When this
dollar is expended, it will be replac-
ed.
As to the business side of conduct
ing the affairs of the fourth city in
the world, Thompson has declared he
will endeavor. wherever possible, tol
surround himself with successful bus
mess men, large or small, who will be
willing to emulate his example and
give up four years of their lives to
the work of the city
Mayor Thompson has strong opin-
ions regarding Chicago's crime situa- |
ton. He has not yet gone into detail
as to what his remedies for the whole I
sale robberies, street hold-ups, etc, |
will be, but he has said that crime and
immortality can and must be checked 4
by an honest and efficient police force. /
He intimated that he would try to get
as chief of police a man regardless OF
political affiliation, who can be abso- I
lutely fearless in upholding the laws.

tBy United Press Staff Correspond
ent.)
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The de.
partment Of agriculture in a bulletin
just issued warns farmers against
taking advantage Of such state car
demurrage codes as apparently give
the farmers special concessions. Such
concessions. says the bulletin, do not
work to the farmers real benefit,
since the man who is backward in
loading or unloading freight contrib
utes just that much to the car short
age throughout the country, from
which the farmer suffers more than
any other business man. If the far
mer refuses all such concessions he is
IN better position to urge the abolition
of all concessions made in favor of
others.
Demurrage charges, the bulletin
points out, really benefit shippers as
whole, furnishing as they do a pro-
lection against the selfishness of sin
gle shippers, many of whom would
use cars for storage purposes indifi-
nitely if they were not compelled to
pay for the privilege There is no
reason, says the bulletin why the
whole community through lack of cars
should pay for the storage allowed
one shipper. No person is so vitally
affected as the shipper of farm pro-
ducts and 1t is declared he can do his
part toward remedying conditions by
refusing all concessions.
