Greece that King Constantine has ac-

policy of strict neutrality heretofore
pursued. Agents of the Teutonic
powers are being sent out of the

warned before he has run upon it.
A 5-foot strip could be painted on the
with the exception of foot in the
ground. This strip could be white
the exception of about a foot in the
center, which could be red, and ten
or more poles on each side of the
dangerous place could be painted.
The same method should be used to
give warning of the proximity OF rail-
road crossings, for many of these
are SO obscured that the driver does
not know he is approaching one until
he is right upon it.
