ly after it was because he refused to
engage in a struggle with the king. and
public opinion understood that accord
formal engagements and the circum-
stances of the occasion. The nobiliza-
ton of the Greek army was response
to the Bulgar mobilization: the treaty
of 1913 had promised the armed assist
ance of Greece to Serbia against Bull
garia. NJ. VeniZelos was not q man to
disregard his signature to that treaty.
Germany, it is recalled, resented a
phrase uttered by NJ. Venizelos in one
Of his speeches in the boule, which, al
luding to IAN eventual conflict between
the Hellenic forces and the Germano-
Bulgar troops" made this utterance the
basis of the minister's retirement NJ.
VeniZelos thus succumbed for the sec
ond time.
The Venizelist majority in the boule
nevertheless existed. NJ. Zaimis became
vember 4, less than a month after his
nomination, NJ Zaimis was placed in
minority by a vote of lat against III.
The logic and the constitutional right
indicated that NJ. Nenizelos should have
been recalled to the post from which he
had been eliminated at the dictation of
the foreigner. The king on the con-
trary turned to NJ. Skoulidfs and
chiefs notoriously hostile. This COM
bination quickly failed. and the Skou-
lids cabinet followed that of NJ. Zaimis.
Constantine l pronounced the dissolu-
ton of the assembly and convoked the
election for December 19 (19I5).

Measuring
Radio Waves.

This act made nee
Measuring essary the develop
p,d;. W.. ment OF spe a l
"'sS' types Of ra d 4 o =
measuring apparatus for the use of
radio Inspectors. One Of the most i'm
portant of these measuring Instruments
was invented and developed by F. A.
holster of the bureau of standards,
and is used to make direct measure
ments of wave length. The instru-
ment is unique in design.
Several years ago Mr.. holster real
lied the Importance of radio signaling
in its relation to safety Of life at sea
and to aids to lavigation. In the early
part of 1913 Mr.. holster submitted to
an tnterdepartmental committee a
memorandum pointing out the advan-
tages OF certain applications of radio
signaling for use at lighthouses, light
ships and life-saving stations, espe-
the present time experiments have been
conducted at the bureau of standards
leading toward the development of
suitable apparatus for this purpose.
Actual working models of the ex-
detrimental apparatus have been dem
onstrated. The apparatus is extremely
simple, compact, easily installed and
operated. and inexpensive. Recent ex-
periments have developed much wider
field OF application than at first con-
templated. Some of it's possible APP
plications include the installation of
lighthouses, lightships. life-saving sta
tons and other important points, which
will have twofold value SO far as
safety at sea is concerned, especially
in time of fog. Set signals sent out
by the automatic transmitters will en-
able vessels equipped with the special
receiving devices accurately to deter
mine their positions and ranges. Yes
sells equipped with ordinary radio
transmitters may send out signals
which, when received by the light
houses or other especially equipped re-
ceiving stations, will enable the op-
orator to advise the ship of its posi-
ton. Collisions of ships at sea in fog
may be readily avoided by the use of
this apparatus. which will determine
direction and distance.
The radio inspection service contem-
plates the use of this device in all Of
its offices to locate amateur or other
stations that are not observing the
radio laws and regulations.
A comparatively small model is now
installed in a room of the bureau of
standards. with which messages are
received from practically all high-po%-
cred stations in the United States and
from Germany.

Improved
Relations


Improved liam county, Va, marked
p.. by improvement in the
relations between the
whites and blacks there:
HE states that the condition Of bureau
affairs is favorable. The idea that colored
men must be compensated for their labor
and protected in their rights OF person
and property equally with the whites is
becoming settled in the minds Of the peo-
pie generally. During the past two or
three months there has been perfect quiet
between the whites and freedmen, no
complaints of serious nature and few of
a trivial nature, have been made either
to the bureau or to the civil authorities. :"
Still another report Of the same nature
is printed in The Star Of September 1,
1865. with reference to con-

to the bureau says that the condition of
affairs in his county is very favorable.
The state Of feeling existing between the
whites and freedmen is all that could be
expected. There are very few, II any.
freedmen in the county unemployed.
Nearly all have made contracts for the
year. either for stated wages or for a

Many of the old planters say that they

number OF hands they used to work as
slaves.
"a report from Fauquier county, Va,
states that the feeling now existing be-
tween the whites and freedmen is very
encouraging. No reports of abuse of the
blacks have been made during the month
The freedmen have observed in good faith
the contracts made by them with the
whites; the latter. also. with few ex.
ceptions, have done the same toward the
blacks. It is not thought that the feel
ing against the freedmen Is as strong as
it has been heretofore. Some interest has
been manifested by the clergy of the

Rock in the southeastern part of
Davidson County and will at an

and make such other arrangements
necessary for a complete film pro-
ducing village. 1t is said that the
location is a permanent one and the
venture may mean great things for
Davidson County.
1t is not definitely known who is
behind the organization; but traN ell
