its people have OUtgrown any crude

to their fOrefathers. But the absO-

ness on the part of the doctor dis
armed him, especially as he cOntin-

TO HYDROGEN GAS
investigator Attributes Accident
to Edison Batteries.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The Brooklyn
navy yard investigating board report
ed to Secretary Daniels that the fatal
explosion on the submarine E-2 was
caused by hydrogen gas and was en-.
tirely accidental, so far as could be
learned.
The gas, it was stated, was general
ed in storage batteries and developed
into highly explosive mixture when
it reached air The ignition was from
a spark, the origin of which was unde'
termined.
No action will be taken until the
court of inquiry appointed by Secre'
tary Daniels completes its report.
The batteries in the Ed were Ed
son batteries and were on their t-1af
The board sums up it's findings as fol
lows:
"The board concludes the explosion
was due to an excessive amount OF
gas, namely, hydrogen, generated from
the storage batteries forming with the
air a highly explosive mixture"

Troops Landed Near Athens.

London, Jan. 19.-Reports from
German sources declare that the al
lies have landed troops at Praeus
and Phaleron, both about five mics
from Athens, and at Corinth.
Orders have been issued that tele-
graph messages from Athens to Ger
many, Austria, Bulgaria or Turkey
must be written in plain language.
An Amsterdam despatch says that
according to information received
from Sofia the allied troops which
landed at Phaleron re-embarked after
a short inspection OF the city.
Among the wild rumors as to the
intentions of the allies" the message
continues, ''is the statement that they
intend to advance to Athens, whence
King Constantine, his court and the
government will retire in conformity
with the kings desire to maintain
armed neutrality.
'In Sofia dispatches the question
is asked what former Premier Vent
zelos will do in that event; whether
he will proclaim a republic, and
whether the army will side with him.
These reports are said to have occa'
stoned undisguised alarm at the Bull
garian capital"
A despatch to the Cologne Gazette
from Sofia states that anti-royalist de-
mands are expected at Athens, and the
attitude of the army Is in doubt.

not agree as to the dependability of
the Greek army" it says. Apparent
ly the king controls a considerable
portion of the higher offices, and in
view of his popularity among the peo-
pie 1t will not be an easy matter to
compel him to step out.
"The king has told the ministers of
the central powers that they were to
remain with him."
The Gazette is also informed by Its
Sofia correspondent that the minis
ters of the central powers at Athens
have been ordered to burn all the ar
olives at their legations to prevent
them from falling into the hands OF
the entente powers.
England and France have thrown
100000 soldiers into Greece. it was
estimated.
A band Of steel has been forged
around three sides of Greece by tie
allies, while the fourth side is held
by powerful armies of Austro-Hun-
garians, Germans and Bulgarians.
Occupation of Athens by allied
troops is believed to be imminent.
Hundreds of Bulgarian soldiers are
reported to have been killed and many
more injured by a bombardment by
French aeroplanes of the Bulgarian
camp at Petric (near the Greek boun-
Diary, between the Struma and Var
dar rivers).

of the booking of this orchestra,
states that Ardmore is, indeed, fortu-

given them to hear this great organ

from the fact that they will be tour
ing the southwest to fill special en-
gagements at this time and will play
