FLEET TO SHELL
PORTS OF GREECE
Allies Decide On Drastic Meas
ures With Constantine.
COMPLETE BLOCKADE PLANNED

Unfavorabie Reply by Greek Ruler to
Demands of Kitchener Will Bring
Attack-Troops of Allies Continue
to Land at SaIoniki-Destructiv
Submarine Identified.
LONDON, ENG. = The complete
commercial and economic blockade
against Greece, it was learned here,
was the first step taken by the allies
to force compliance with the demand
made by Earl Kitchener on King Con-
stantine that Greece either join
the allies, in accordance with her
treaty obligations and promises, or de.
mobilize her army at once.
The Greek cabinet has been again
in session and the decision should be
known soon.
Allied troops are still landing regu-
larly at Saloniki and large allied
fleet is in that port ready for action
if the Greek decision should force it.
Greece Is Given Ultimatum.
LONDON Greece must dis
band its army or put it into the field
on the allies side.
This demand, says Malta dispatch,
has been presented to the Athens gov
eminent. The information is not Off
cial, but the censor passed it. 1t is
therefore accepted as accurate.
The entente powers do not insist
that Greece fight in their interest, but
they do require Greek assurances that
they will not be interfered with in
their Balkan campaign, that there will
be no demand for their troops with
drawal from Greek territory, and that
no attempt will be made to intern
them if they should be driven tenn
porarily out of Serbia, Bulgaria, or
Turkey back into Greece.
Their view is that Greece will be
powerless to make such an attempt if
it's army is demobilized and it's de-
mobilization is the form they want
the Greek guarantee to take.
Demand After Kitchener Visit.
The Malta dispatch does not tell the
method in which the demands were
given to the Greek government, but
an Athens message to Reuters Tele-
gram company says that Earl Kitch-
ener, British secretary for war, after
an audience with King Constantine
lasting more than an hour, conferred
with Premier Shouldoudis and then
left Athens
''The anxiety felt over the an
nouncement of the allies intention to
bring pressure to bear on Greece in
order to assure the unmolested pass
age of the allied troops through Greek
territory in case such course is nee
essary." adds the correspondent, "has
been perceptibly allayed by Lord
Kitcheners visit"
The dispatch adds that both the
king and Kitchener were cheered by
the people as they left the conference.
May Bring About Revolt.
If the Greek king fails to comply with
the demands it is expected that the al
lies will resort to force at once his
will cause revolutionary uprisings in
Greece, it is widely believed. There
already have been disorders by the
pro-allies in various districts.

pire in each The launches were strung out to a length representing that of a battleship. and any torpedo passing under them was counted as hit. The torpedoes were set to run ten feet under water and to come to the surface at the end of the run, Greek fire. which burns under water or on the surface, being fitted to the torpedoes so they could be picked up by vessels stationed for that purpose.
 The battleship fleet has just emerg- ed from its regular battery practice at moving targets of the Virginia Capes immediately preceding it's arri- val It is known the vessels surpass- ed all previous records, which con tained such exploits as five straight hits made in fifty-seven seconds with a 12-inch rife at a moving target five miles distant
 It is for these many reasons that officers and men feel that confidence which goes with conscious power and skill whereby to employ it.

 Nearly everyone hemembers "Ohi- cer 666.' The story is by Augustin McHugh and covers the unusual event that occurred in a New York mansion on the night of the youthful owners return incognito from abroad. How both he and his friend Barnes, with the aid of "Ohicer 666" organized a fashionable posse to capture a gentle man picture thief and prevent an elop- ment, and ended by allowing the thief to escape and did all the elOping them selves, makes lots of whole-hearted fun.

MONEY VALUE OF SMOKE.
Over Half the Heat Energy of Coal
 Goes Up the Chimney.


 TO the engineer the smoke rolling and billowing out of the power house chimney is just like so many dollars taking wings from the company's strong box. The smoke escaping from a steam plant is composed of nearly GO per cent of the heat energy of the coal which is being burned.
 This energy is lost in the tiny partl- cles of coal and carbon which escape up the chimney in the various gases which are freed before they are burn ed in the heated air and in various other ways. So. for every $lO spent for coal $6.5O is lost up the chimney.
 Assuming that the energy of coal Is 100 per cent. only per cent of this is available in the form of light when you snap on the electric lamps. Nearly 90 per cent of the original coal energy is lost in transmitting this energy into heat, from heat to steam, from steam to electricity and in transmitting the electricity to your home.
 The efficiency of the electric lamp is only per cent-in other words. the lamp turns into light per cent of the energy it receives and wastes 95 per cent of it in useless heat-New York World.

A Uniform Scheme That Failed and
 Ugliness as an Asset.

In 1868 the formation was attempted in London of league of housewives pledged to engage only servants who would undertake to wear uniform. Tn the preliminary manifesto it was also proposed to prohibit servants from wearing "superfluities, such as flowers. feathers, brooches. buckles or clasps. earrings. lockets. neck ribbons and vel vets kid gloves. sashes. jackets. Gari- baldis. trimmings on dresses, crinolines or steel of any kind" On her Sunday out servant was to assume "a neat alpaca dress. linen collars and cuffs. black apron, black shawl. straw bon net bound round with ribbons, thread or cotton gloves, small cotton umbrella to keep off the sun and rain" The cos tune was to be diversified ill cold weather by linsey dress and shep- herds plaid shawl. This extraordinary scheme found very few supporters and had to be abandoned
 Some bygone housewives appear to have regarded ugliness as q quality to be desired in their servants When Eliza Coke. daughter of Coke of Nor folk, was about to marry she wrde to her prospective mother-in-law: Pray have the goodness to decide as you think best about the pretty housemaid. I wish she were less pretty and less fond of dress. but if her conduct and principles are good neither are really objectionable faults. 1 think our es- tubishment will be a pattern of moral ity, particularly if Mir.

It Is an Unprovsbis Theory, as It Is
 Based Upon taps Unknown.

In answer to the following interest ing question. Il understand that a crawling insect knows only two dimen- sions, length and breadth, all lines be- ing horizontal to it and that it cannot conceive of perpendicular; do l un- derstand correctly that the fourth di- mension is to us as the third is to the insect?" Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York American says:
 "We do not know the mind of the in- sect and cannot decide whether the third dintension is known to it. And the fourth dimension is not surely known to man.
 "ro be known geometrically a straight line must be drawn perpen- dicularly to three others mutually per pendicular-that is, perpendicular must be constructed to all three sides of cube. But this is impossible to the geometer
 Mind as now phasing in man does not know what anything is. Then it does not know what space is, although space is supposed not to be thing Yet we say space includes all things, If we know nothing about space we do not know, therefore. whether it is curved or not. But the fourth dimen- sion is a transcendental concept based on the curious theory that space has curvature. all of which is unknown and not proved"

VERY ANCIENT ART.
Rude Paintings That Date Back t'
 Prehistoric Times.

Rude Paintings That Date Back to
 Prehistoric Times.
 Remains of prehistoric man which are occasionally discovered seem to prove that there was d knowledge Of art even ill the earliest times. Span ish nobleman, Marcellino de Sautuola, was industrially digging in cave on his estate in search of prehistoric stone implements and bones, while his little daughter, who accompanied him. oc cupied herself in play.
 She happened to look up at the vanlt- ed ceiling overhead, and began to shout, "Toros! Toros!" in such excite ment that her father paused to investl- gate. Immediately he forgot his search for stone implements. The little girl had discovered some very remarkable prehistoric paintings.
 The paintings were of the bison. which the little girl mistook for bulls. or toros. The colors were red. black and gray. The technique of the draw ings and the proportions of the figures were really good and the positions were very lifelike.
 In the cavern of Font de Gaume. France, paintings of mammoths. bison and other animals have been found. and most of them show q considerable degree of skill In the great cavernS of Niaux. near Tarascon.

With it's row of crumbling forts and musty guns the frontier between Can- ada and the United States stands as an object lesson to all nations. While 1t is the longest. it is the safest and surest frontier in the world.
