GREEK OFFICIALS
 GET NO SUPPORT
London Aroused Over Failure of
 Military to Help VeniZelOS

London, Oct. 31, 3:56 a. m.-Al- though no comment has yet been published here regarding the displace- ment of D. Caclemanos, the Greek minister to Washington, owing to his pro-Venizelos views much indigna- tion is expressed on the ground that the entente allies allowed the Greek government to displace numerous other public officials for similar req sons.
 The Morning Post publishes re- ports from Paris and Athens that the entente allies definitely have decided not to recognize the Venizelos move ment and demands that the British parliament insist that this action be reconsidered. The Post says.
 eff the allies refuse to recognize the Venizelos government, they there by admit that the soldiers and off, cers who adhere to that government was rebels and that officials and mag istrates who support Venizelos are traitors; that Venizelos himself and his friends have no status; that they are all liable to be cashiered, inn prisoned, dismissed or shot by the Athens government and that is ap- parently just what is being done venize1os supporters in the army, magistracy and other public officers are being arrested, cashiered, pun ished at wholesale without even the | formalities required by law.
 "The allies, indeed, are placing in the hands of King Constantine the in- | disputable title to punish patriots who | are the allies best friends. Parlia-
 nnent if it is not altogether lost to the 1 honor of the country should insist that the Venizelist party shall not be
 betrayed into the hands of their l enemies.'

 force Demands.

Berlin. Oct. 31, by Wireless to Say of reprisal upon Rus sian prisoners have been ordered by the German government pending the Russian governments acceptance of Germany's demands for improved treatment of German prisoners of war in Russia, according to the semi-off1- cial North German Gazette.

A COLD WINTER
Price of Keeping Warm Advances Great1y-Coa1 at SIP Per Ton i1, New York-Factor1es Blamed.

New York Oct. 31.-The high cost of keeping warm took another jump here today. Householders in the bor- oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx learned that coal in the domestic sizes egg and nut, now brings $12 ton.
 Dealers attributed the increase to the tremendous consumption of coal in factories throughout the country, which are running day and night to fill war and other orders: to the natural increase of coal orders at this time of year; to the inability of rail- roads, because of shortage of eauip- ment, to haul the coal that is ordered, and to the large increases in ship m ents of coal to foreign countries. chiefly Canada. There is no shortape it is said, in the coal supply. An tbracite coal operators declare that the shortage of labor is largely re- sponsible for high prices. Thousands ce mine workers have returned to their homes in Europe to fight, and others have gone to earn better wages ir the war munition factories.

CONSCRIPTION ACT
 MAY BE PASSED
Australians at Front Might Alter
 Decision Of Those at Home

Melbourne, Australia, Via London, Oct 31, 4:53 a. m.-The position of the conscription referendum is virtu- ally unchanged, but it's friends are a majority in their favor. The poli ttca1 situation seems certain to be- come complicated, but developments in this respect are not expected until the return of Premier Hughes from Sydney.
 Warrants are being issued for the arrest of single men between the ages of 21 and 31 who failed to report under the compulsory training scheme.
 New York, Oct. 31-The heavy vote against conscription recently cast in Australia, says T. F. Quinn trade commissioner for the government of New South Wales, cannot be taken as conclusive and may be reversed by the votes of Australian soldiers on foreign battlefields which are now being taken by government commis- sion.
 The vote, said MT. Quinn, "was mainly due to three causes, first. to the ingrained opposition in the most advanced democracy in the world to anything resembling coercion; second. to a struggle within the labor party for control of the movement, and third, to the popular feeling in Aus tral1a that the war is nearly fought to victory and that, consequently con- scrlpt1on in Australia is unnecessary.

must be brought about through the
use of better adapted or improved
crop varieties, more systematic and
rational crop rotations, and improved

"As the principles of crop i'm

more generally applied, larger yields
per acre should result. In addition,
a great deal can be accomplished
through increase of soil fertility and
better cultural methods. Enough
has been done in this direction by the

The report reviews at length the ad-
ministration of the foods and drugs
act. It's recommendations for Leg
islation to reinforce the present law
are given: Experience in connec-
ton with the administration of the
Food and Drugs Act has striki~ ely en-
phasized the importance OF eiforcea-
BILE standards for foods and drugs.
Without them it is impossible to car
ry out completely the purposes of the
act. In many instances protection of
the consumer-the principle object of
the law--can not fully be accomplish
ed, nor can unfair practices on the
part ON INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
adequately be prevented. In some
cases maintenance of prosecution is
difficult and expensive, even when the
articles involved clearly are adulter-
ated or misbranded. To meet this
situation, l have recommended in
the estimates for the fiscal year 1918
that the Secretary Of Agriculture be
authorized to establish standards Of
strength, quality or purity for arti-
clesc of food and for those articles
of drugs which are sold under Or by a,
name not recognized in the United
States PharmacopOeia or National
Formulary. The suggestion provides
that if any article fails to conform to
the established standards it shall be
deemed to be misbranded, unless it is
labeled so as plainly and conspicuous
ly to show how it differs from the
standard.
81 have also recommended in the
estimates that the department be Civ
en- authority to inspect establishments
producing foods or drugs intended for
shipment in interstate or foreign COM
MERGE No specific authority exists
at the present time. If the suggested
authority be granted, the department
should be able to improve the quality
of food products, both by bringing to
the attention of manufacturers any in
sanitary conditions that may be dis
covered and by securing evidence of
production under insanitary condi-
