the busiest that Main street has seen

street were lined with automobiles and
teams. the sidewalk was packed and 1t
was necessary to put crossing officers
at Common street and Silver street.

a traffic officer but it took but few
minutes watching of them to convince
that they We're needed just where they
were. The same conditions prevailed in

WARS CAST-OFFs MAN SHIPS.
Crews of British Merchantmen Are Dis
charged Soldiers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-British mer-
chant ships entering and leaving the
port OF New York are being manned al
most entirely by Englishmen who have
already served in war and have been
honorably discharged, according to the
lshlp-Vlsltlng report of the American
Seamen s Friend Society at 76 Wall
street. This report, which was made
public today by DR.. George Sidney
Webster, secretary, shows that in four
| months the ship-visiting staff Of the
society was in personal touch with
practically 10000 sailors attached to
81 different ships which represented II
steamship lines
According to DR.. Webster the impress
sion has been gathered regarding mill
tary experiences of the sailors is based
upon their frequent recitals of per-
Sonal experiences on the battle front.
II IS stated that a sailor without such
experience has been seldom met in the
rounds of ship-visiting done by the So
clety. The purpose OF this society is
to provide social, physical and religious
aid to the men between VOYAGES and
this work is further aided by the large
sailors Home maintained on West
street, adjacent to the docks of the larg-
est British steamship lines.
Although very large number Of the
sailors III port are stated to be Eng
llsh subjects, there are also great
many from other lands. These men.
according to the report, are largely
either deserters from military service
or are avoiding service by coming to
this country. Many of these men are
Greeks who contract for return voyage
to British ports and desert their shin
on this side without pay This, accord
ing to DR.. Webster, is one reason for
the noticeable shortage in the supply of
seamen which ships have suffered from
when preparing for the return trip.

An Official statement announces that as
result OF the recent series Of conferences
with the ministers Of the entente at the
royal palace, King Constantine has volun-
tarily undertaken to dispel all suspicious
lot hls sincere friendship for the entente.
His method of performing this will be to
transfer the Third and Fourth Greek
Army corps, now in Thessaly lin the rear
of Gen. Sarraifs Ines, and the Sixteenth
Division, now in Epirus lin the rear of
the Italian lines, to the Peloponnesus,
leaving only a sufficient force for the
maintenance of order.
The transfer of the troops will begin on
Nov. B. and this evidence of good will on
the part of the king is taken here to indi-
cate that the long awaited cooperation OF
Greece with the entente powers in the
war Is at last approaching.
lIhc Peloponncsus is the peninsula form
ing Southern Greece, which is cut off en-
tlrcIy from the mainland by the Corinth
Ship Canal. Greek troops there would be
entirely subject to the surveillance Of war

removed from the peninsula without the
