Resignation a Surprise.

Up to the time of the first dispatches

sented his resignation. his retirement
was unexpected. for it was understood

powers, and wac In an exceptionally
strong position. Political affairs
reached a crisis after the Bulgarians
invaded northeastern Greece, and the
followers of former Premier Venizelos
served warning on King Constantine
that he must abandon the advisers who,
1t was said. had misled him and in
fiuenced him in favor of Germany. At
the same time M. Venizelos expressed
confidence in NJ Zaimis. whom he asked
the king to support, and 1t was under

under which the Zaimis ministry was
to continue in power with the strong
sunnort of the Venizelos party.
After the fall Of the Venizelos cabinet
last October on account OF the kings

intervention in the war with the allies.
NJ Zairnis was called on to form a
cabinet. He announced a policy OF
armed neutrality. The cabinet resigned
in November, but in June NJ. Zaimts
was again placed at the head of the
government Although acknowledging
neutrality, he was regarded as having

Think It Means War.

The belief is entertained in the en-

the Zaimis ministry is preliminary to

Berlin and Vienna show that there.
also, it is regarded as probable Greece
will soon abandon neutrality and join

The precise causes which led to the
resignation OF the ministry have not
been disclosed, on account of the ex-
ceptionally rigid censorship. A Lon
don dispatch yesterday said M. Zaimis
had complained that internal incidents
were preventing him from dealing with
the external situation. 1t fs believed
in London that his resignation was due
to the fact that he accepted the pre-

Farmers Everywhere Demand

ment of U. S. Expert.
INVESTIGATION ORDERED
BY BUREAU OF DIARIES
Situation in New England Particu-
larly Acute, Producers Claiming
Profits Are Too Small.

Wherever farmers supply milk for city
consumption the price problem is now
acute, according to w. j. Spillman. chief
of the farm management division Of the
Department of Agriculture. who. tomor-
row afternoon, will meet with commit
tee of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association to hear their side
of the case in the agitation started here
last week for an increase in price to the
producers
Although the situation is new to Wash
ington, Mr.. Spillman pointed out this
morning. it is not new to the Department
of Agriculture, which has received in the
last year appeals from milk producers
from all parts of the United States to in
vestigate the matter.
1.-The farm management division had
already planned an extensive investlga-
ton of the question of milk production
before the situation arose here, MIR.
Spillman said. I'VE want to get at the
facts as to the cost of milk production.
We want to find out just what connec-
ton there is between cement floors in
dairies and the quality of milk.
Especially Acute in New England.
Grafton for this work. and hope to start
it this fall" he continued The situa-
ton is acute over the whole country.
We have had just as urgent calls from
other sections, especially from New
England"
The investigation is to be started
this fall Whether or not the investi-
gators would begin their work with
the Maryland and Virginia producers
is not known at this time.
Mr.. Spillman pointed out that in vari-
GUS sections farmers have gone out of
the dairy business and gone into truck
farming and the poultry business, be-
lieving. either rightly or wrongly, that
they cannot produce milk at a profit
now. Many of them believe, too, that
they are unable to meet the expense of
modern requirements in dairy farming.
Mr.. Spillman and B. H. RawIe, chief
of the dairy division, Agricultural BE-
partment, will meet the producers
committee at o'clock tomorrow after
noon.

Of the case before the public and ask
ing its justification of their demands.
He said that now some of the milk
producers who are financially strong
are taking care of producers who are
not SO strong financially, and that this
situation cannot continue.
THE milk producers want to work
with the local health officials" Mr.
Gasch said. "And we want to work,
and are working, in complete harmony
with the local retail milk dealers. The
retail dealers are sympathetic, too"
He pointed out that single wagon
of a milk dealer must deliver eighty
gallons of milk day to consumers "or
that dairy is going on the rocks"
Eighty gallons of milk a day is
more than the average production of
the leverage milk producer" Mr.. Gasch
declared.
Steel and munitions plants are drawing
heavily upon laborers formerly employed
by the milk producers of Maryland and
Virginia, Mr.. Gasch pointed out. Men for
merry secured for $40 and $25 a month
now demand $25 and $50. and seven are
not to be secured at these figures. as the
big plants are now getting all the able

by Means of Strategy.
LONDON THE MINORITY
Recognition of Socialist Leaves Re

Voice in Proceedings.

After another protracted parliamentary
struggle the Democrats Of the House
yesterday succeeded in sending the army
appropriation bill to conference without
permitting a vote on the Senate pro-
vision authorizing a regular army of
20. 900 men.
This achievement was accomplished by
a bit Of strategy-the recognition of
Meyer London, the lone Socialist member
from New York, as the minority, leav-
ing the Republicans, who claimed recog-
milton in that capacity, practically with
out voice in the proceedings.
The special rule devised to enable the
Democrats to carry their ends and the

rlod OF debate on the question Of pre-
paredness more spectacular than any

must depend upon volunteers for its de-
