Of British, French and Italian de-
tachments.
The entente forces are under

commandments Of the Anglo
French fleet in Greek waters.
The rejectment of the disarma-
ment demand by King Constantine.
and the subsequent seizure of the
postofice and telegram lines in
Athens by Greek soldiers, has
brought about a situation of crucial
seriousness.
Fighting is Expected.
In view of interviews telegraphed
here from Athens, news of lighting
between the allied troops and the
Greeks would not come as a sur
prise.
The Athens correspondent of the
Daily Man quotes Admiral Du
Fournet as saying:
"As I have ample forces at my
disposal and some Of the heaviest
and most powerful artillery in ex-
istence, see no reason why the
Greeks arms Will not be given up
quietly"
Admiral Du FOurnet is thus
quoted by the Athens correspondent
of the Chronicle:
Il insist absolutely upon the exc
cution of the demands and will see
that they are realized in spite of all
obstacles. French. British and
Italian attachments viii be landed
at all points necessary. I viii en-
deavor to avoid bloodshed, but will
fulfill my mission thoroughly"

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER
Wallace'S Farmer Sees Trouble Ahead
from War Situation, Mexico and
R'y Strike for Shorter Hours

to discuss anything except the demand
which they have made.
The railroads naturally will strong
ly oppose any such advance. According
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, railroad labor is as well paid as
other labor. On the western roads,
for example, according to the report
of the commission for 1914, engineers
have averaged $1,S19.91 per year;
firemen, $1,08462; conductors ST.
599.22; other trainmen, $1,058.22.
These figures represent averages in
each case. These classes of employees
have had an advance of about 80 per
cent in wages during the past twelve
years; and the railroad managers say
that the wages they are receiving are
higher in proportion to the service
rendered than the wages paid to other
railroad employees.
If the employees should stand firm
in their demands and should refuse to
arbitrate, and should precipitate a
general strike on April 10Th, the final
date they have fixed, it would at once
tie up the railroads of the United
States. Fortunately for the farmer,
the trouble would come at time in
the year when he can stand it best;
but it would make him a lot of grief.
He could not, for example, get his
live stock to the market; or if he
should succeed in getting it there, he
would probably not be able to get any
thing like fair price for it, because
of the difficulty the packers would have
in moving live stock products. 1t is,
of course, quite possible that some
way out may be found, and strike
averted.
If we are wise we will keep a wea-
Their eye on these things which have
nothing directly to do with our farm
work, but which may have much to do
with our prosperity and well being

A Working
Business Man

The Cass County Democrat in its
last issue remarks as follows;
Every time gubernatorial candi-
date advances his argument for pref
erment on the grounds of giving Mis-
souri, business administration, he is
indirectly giving the leading Demo-
cratic candidate, Cornelius Roach, the
boost that he deserves, and the very
element that is going to return him
the successful candidate at the August
primary and the successful nominee
at the November election. AS Sec
rotary of State, "Con" Roach has
made record for the Office in the
matter of efficiency that will become
part of the enviable history of the
State. The business affairs of no
private corporation in the State have
been conducted with more efficiency
and exacting nicely than have the af-
fairs Of that office. Possessed not on
ly of the intellect and the executive
ability to administer affairs in that
manner, he has not been satisfied
merely to sit back, wave his hand and
issue the necessary orders. By dis
position and the training of life
time, he is, himself, worker-not an
ordinary one, content with normal
amount of time expended, but sure
enough hard worker, with an appetite
for honest labor that scarcely knows
appeasing. 1t is not surprising. He
has waded into the affairs of the State
and attended to them with the same
scrupUlous care that he exercised in
the matters of his own business when
actively engaged in running the Car
thage Democrat. He has perhaps
spent more hours daily at the Secre-
tary of States desk than any official
that Missouri ever had. This faith
fulness to detail, inclination, execu-
tive ability, intellect and thorough
knowledge of Missouri affairs and
Missourians is going to make him
one of the most capable, hard work.

er had the honor of elevating to it's

Nash was walking along carrying
six sticks of dynamite and had several
explosive dynamite caps in a coat
pocket In one hand he had the dyna-
mite and in the other a pair of heavy
pliers and unthoughtedly dropped the
pliers into the pocket where the caps
were. AS result there was a terrif-
