Need American Influence
I'VE are sure that America, who
so far back as 1921 sent ships from
Boston laden with supplies to help
our roreRathers in their struggle for
liberty. and who during our unhappy
war of 1897 sent an expression of
sympathy Of the Congress to the
Greek government, will not remain
Indifferent in the present moment OF
our trials. But what We need most
is the influence of American public
opinion to get our case before the
generous people OF France and Great
Britain who cannot but be ignorant
of the true situation, owing to the
stringent censorship of the press
which has closed to US the forums
of London and Paris.

rights of small nations Among the
small nations is Greece. which be-
came small through its age-long
struggle for freedom and liberty,
while it acted as a protective wall
against which the barbarous forces
of the east spent their momentum
and made eastern domination of the
new, civilized west impossible. Let
the allied nations of Europe, now
lighting for that civilization for
which we so long have fought, study
our situation, consider our motives
and change, if possible, their bitter
policy towards us. Then, notwith-
standing the blows which have fallen
upon us lately the humiliation and
the pain in the soul Of every Greek,
the old sentiment deeply rooted in
our hearts Of friendship for the lib

spring forth anew full Of vigor
ready to follow our Oldest and dear

France and Great Britain, for the
common benefit of humanity and civ
ilization.'

WAITS ON MEXICAN
 BORDER THREE YEARS

Decatur, H., March 21.-After waiting on the Mexican border for three years and never once seeing the active service his heart longed for, a former private of the 18th U. s. Cavalry was today accepted for en- listment in the United States Marine Corps.
 q have been waiting down there on the border expecting trouble to break out" he told Sergeant Frank E.. English, in charge of the local Mar inc Corps recruiting station, "and began to think that Villa would never start anything. And now, a day or two after I'm discharged, my old outfit is in the very thick of it."
 "Villa wouldn't start anything so long as you were there,' English comforted the eX-trooper, But when he heard that you had been paid off 7 he knew that the psychological mo- ment had arrived and that it was safe to commence hostilities."

PETITION TO CLOSE AUTO
 HOUSES ON SUNDAY DENIED

Little Rock, March 21.-The Little Rock city council last night denied a petition to require the automobile ac- cessory houses of the city to remain closed on Sunday. The petition was signed by about twenty-five different concerns, but when the Police Con- mittee met in the afternoon to con- sider it, several of the signers were present and asked that their names be withdrawn as they had changed their mind on the matter. There were about dozen present to protest agalnst the granting of the petition, declar- ing that the automobile supply house has become as much necessity in city as a drug store. It was pointed out that if they were closed on Sun day, thousands of tourists would not come to the city on Sunday.

GERMAN ATTACK NEAR
 yERNDUN IS CHECKED
Germans Say Russians Suffered Heavy Losses in the Fighting Activity Has Been Re newed in Balkans.

Paris, March 2O.-German forces have bombarded Malincourt and an attack made by them on the French positions at Cote de Poivre has re- suited in failure, according to the an- nouncement made by the French War Office this afternoon.
 There has been intermittent bom- bardment in the region of Vaux.
 The text follows:
 ITO the west of the River Mouse the enemy has delivered a lombard ment of considerable violence in the region south of Malincourt. East of the river, after q preparatory fire from the German artillery, the enemy delivered against our positions at Cote de Poivre a small attack, which re- suited in complete failure. There has been an intermittent bombardment in the region of Vaux.
 "In the Woevre district the night passed quietly, with the exception of a fairly spirited cannonading at Les Eparges. There has been nothing else of importance to report from the re mainder of the front.
 At about o'clock this morning English, French and Belgian aviators bombarded the aviation field at Houttave, to the east of Ostend. Nine- teen French aviators took part in this expedition and all of them returned to their base.

a Carranza detachment allowed Villa to pass southward on receipt of q message from the bandit leader that he was not warning against Mexico.
 At Bliss today comment was with held on the northward movement of Carranza troops, although it was un- derstood in army circles that the movement was not large.
 Gen. George Bell, Jr., commanding the troops here, said, however:
 "There isn't a reason on earth for anxiety in Fl Paso. The military is prepared to meet any emergency that may arise"
 Gen. Bells statement was directed particularly to reports of uneasiness in the border situation here.
 Rumors were spread through the city today that machine guns were to be trained on points over the river. At Fort Bliss it was denied that any such action was contemplated. It was authoritatively declared that no req son existed for it.
 The military has taken only such precautions, it was understood, as would be compatible with the policy of preparedness applied to the entire border by Maj. Gen. Frederick Funs- ton.
