that, with the present meth

GIFT
FOR COLUMBIA
Fund for School of
BuSineSS-DOnOr'S
Name Secret

A gift Of 5000 900 about which is
wound as much secrecy as hovered
about the s5OO,OOO gift for the con-
struction Of Hamilton Hall, the home
Of Columbia College, was announced
Yesterday afternoon by the trustees
Of Columbia University. This anony-
nous fund is for the erection of a new
building for the Columbia School Of
Business, which opened its doors for
the first time last September.
Frank D. Fackenthal, secretary Of
the university, asserted last night
that he did not know where the money
came from, and added that no one
else knew, with the possible sole ex-
ception Of President Nicholas Murray
Butler. II was intimated in some cir
cles that the donor was a prominent
engineer, and possibly q railroad pres
ident.
The new building will be constructed
directly opposite the School Of Jour
nalism, on the northeast corner OF
Broadway and l16tn Street. 1t will
cost approximately 100000. On part
Of the ground selected for the new
building now stands the Faculty Club.
It is planned TO build new faculty
club at 117th Street and Morningside
Drive, next to President Buffers home.
Donor Predicts Schools Growth
In announcing the gift, the trustees
gave out copy of letter received
from the donor. 1t says:
"For more than a third of a century
have been strongly impressed with
the necessity for such a school. My
sympathy has gone out TO graduates Of
colleges, who are (more often than
otherwise) without financial resources,
and must, therefore, promptly seek en-
"They quickly discover that while
they doubtless have good foundation
for a knowledge that may be utilized
in the future, yet for the present they
possess no knowledge or skill that is
marketable or desired by employers.
For many years | have urged upon
the men controlling educational insti-
tutions the desirability and necessity
for branch of study that would give
a knowledge of business. There are
scores of men who must follow a bust
ness career 10 every man who can have
d profession.
again: The professional man in a
large majority Of cases, especially en-
gineers. will look forward 10 the time
when he can employ professionals or
10 the time when his success in mis-
profession will place him in the man
agement Of q large property. But If
he has no knowledge of business, es-
pecially q knowledge Of accounting,
how can he expect TO direct others who
possess such knowledge?

Constantine Is Blamed

Attacks
TO PLAN
DRIVE AT SARRAIL
Accused of Setting Trap in
Athens-Expects Mack
enSen to Aid
tBy Cable 10 The Tribunel

LOiluOll, Lev III hOuIu Nduoc
no surprise here if the Allies next
step in Greece were seizure of the
reins of government and the direc- /
ton of Greek policy.
AS a preliminary measure public |
opinion here favors an absolute |
blockade of Greece. A government
order issued to-day, forbidding the
sailing of Greek vessels from British !
to Greek ports evidently is the result
Of the new policy.
The Allies are plainly chagrined
at the way King Constantine has
outmaneuvred them in the latest de-
velopments. Lord Robert Cecil, in
the House of Commons to-day, de-
scribed the situation as one of Eek
treme gravity"
Hints at Direct Action
Abiding to the "treacherous and
unprovoked attack upon Allied de-
tachments in Athens" he declared
that the Allies held King Constan-
tines government responsible, and
were considering immediate meas
ures to secure a radical solution Of
the entire question.
Observers here read into this an
nouncement the first result of the
agitation for more vigorous prose-
cution of the war that has brought
on a Cabinet crisis. There were
many protests yesterday over Four
nets failure to exact compliance
with the full terms of his ultimatum.
According to some special dispatches
Of the Athens correspondents filed on
Sunday at Piraeus, where the Allies
control the telegraph lines, the situa-
ton in Greece is one justifyiyng Cecil's
statement.
Say King Set Trap
These dispatches represent that last
weeks fighting in Athens was the result
of "a deliberate trap, treacherously pre-
pared by the King and the government"
25,OOo troops being disposed around the
position which Vice Admiral Du Four
net had previously notified the Greek
government he would occupy.
These troops then attacked the AL
lies, who numbered 5000. The latter
fought until their ammunition was ex-
hausted and then yielded, except a de-
taehment of 100, who tried TO cut their
way through. Only thirty of these es-
capped.
Preparing for War
According to the same accounts. King
Constantine is quietly mobilizing and
preparing for war against the Allies,
intending to coop> lte with a sectioi |
of Field Marshal VI Msckensen's
forces. which is expected at the Mona
stir front, by attacking General Sar-
rails flank. 1t is also stated that the
Greeks are advancing on Pireus.
Cecil's statement is believed to bear
only one meaning-direct action in
Athens. Fresh fuel was added to the /
flames by to-day's news from the Greek
capital.
According to dispatch to "The
Star" some of Constsntine's troops,
without warning, opened fire with ma
chine guns on Vice-Admirsl du Four
net and a group of French officers
standing on the steps of the Zsppeion
last Friday. Six officers fell wounded

Thin Folks Who Would Be Fat
'nereasesin Weight Ten Pounds o,

More.
ia certainly give most ANYTHING tc
pe able to fat up a few pounds and stay
tnat way, declares every excessively
tnln man or woman. Such a result is
not impossible. despite past failures
Most thin people are victims of mall
nutrition. a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being taken
up by the blood as they are, when the
powers of nutrition are normal. Instead
of getting into the blood much of the
fat and flesh producing elements stay in
the intestines until they pass from the
body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce healthy, normal, amount of fat,
the nutritive processes must be artif-
cially supplied with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can prob
ably best be accomplished by eating a
sarsol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a careful combination Of six splendid
assimilative agents. Taken with meals
they mix with the food to turn the sug-
ars and starches Of what you have eaten
into rich, ripe nourishment for the It's
sues and blood and its rapid effect has
been in many cases reported remarkable.
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet its action is per-
fectly natural and absolutely harmless.
