Cutters Exchange Stations.

Exchange of stations by the cutters
Guthrie and Wissahcken has been
completed. The Guthrie is now doing
customs boarding duty on the Delaware
and the Wissahickon on the Patapsco.
The shifting of the vessels was for the
purpose of having available near the
repair depot of the service of cutter
more powerful than was the Guthrie.
Work is being pushed on the con-
struction OF the cutter Tioga at the
shipyard of NJ. NJ. Davis & Son at Solo
mons Island, Nd. and the new ship will
be ready to go overheard early in May.
She probably will be used in the
vicinity of Baltimore and the Arundel
Cove repair depot.
Bound on an inspection cruise over the
fishing grounds on the Alaskan coast the
cutter Manning has sailed from Seattle
The cutter will return to Seattle after the
cruise to fit out for patrol duty on Ber-
ing sea during the summer months.

Coal Reaches $40 to $50 Ton.

II is on this account that from $40 to
$50 per ton has been frequently offered
for coal at the waters edge, in Pireus.
with none to be had even at that price,
for whenever coal does reach Greece
it is snapped up by members of the
present cabinet and their friends, to
Greek navy lacks the coal to enable
its ships to police the Greek territorial
waters against violations of neutral
itv When Admiral karr, the head of
the British naval mission in Greece
desired Greek torpedo boat to come
TO Messina to fetch him, one of the
members of the Greek cabinet vetoed
the order on the ground that II there
was coal enough for torpedo boat to
make that trip he needed that coal In
his own business.
Outside OF the very questionable IN
tegrity and the unquestionabie inefh-
cheney with which Greece's resources
are partitioned, the next leading cause
Of the rise in the cost of living in
Greece has been the mobilization. With
all the most able bodied men OF the
country under arms, men are lacking
and la Dor is high The extraordinary
advance in the fresh fish market is due
largely to the fact that the greater part
Of the fishermen of Greece are mobillzed
Transport facilities are crippled Tor
the same reason quite as much az on
acrount of the coal famine. Olive oil
has risen in Athens from 9l2 cents in
January. 1915, to 1914 cents in January,
1916. owing to the scarcity of field labor
ers-for Greece exports olive oil in nor

Same With Other Foods.

1t is much the same with almost
every other article of food normally
within reach of people of moderate
means. No cargoes of rice have been
held up by the police boats of the allied
powers-yet rice. which in January,
1915. was 10 cents per pound, today
brings 1Oc cents. Mutton, the principal
meat consumed in Greece, was 10 cents
a pound year ago; now it fetcheS 10
cents-and Greece supplies her own
mutton and to spare. Beef was SO
cents. now it is 81 cents pound. Pork
was 1873 cents. now il is 10 cents;
chickens were So cents, now they bring
- cents. and the beef, pork and chick
ems consumed in Greece are raised in
Greece. Fresh fish. in a country where
fishing is one of the leading occupa-
lions, brought 1917 to Is cents a year
ago. and now run from IS cents to
s10s
Onions for the peasants soup cost
1.3 cents per pound in January. 1915;
today the peasant must pay As cents
per pound-or eat his soup unfiavored.
Bread, when it can be had at all, which
is by no means always. and even then
only after hours of waiting in line be-
fore the bakeries, is AS cents pound
against "a cents pound a year ago.
In some instances this anomalous
situation is due to the control exercis-
ed by the allied fleet over the com
merce of the Mediterranean. Notably
has this been the case with coal, and,
until recently. with petroleum. 1t is
not that the allied power deliberately
hold up shipments of coal to Greece in
order to cripple Greek internal trans
port but that the allied nations them
selves have none too much coal to
spare and certainly no very great
number of vessels availa BILE for its car
rage If coal is high in Greece, SO 1t is
also in France. but the French govern
ment has had the foresight to provide
against ANYTHING like a coial famine,
while the Greek government has not.

EvADING GERMAN CENSOR.
Letters Are Struggled Over Frontier
in Plaster Cast.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands. February
29.-The smuggling of letters over the
Belgian and German frontiers, in order
to evade< the German censor, has taxed
the genius Of many enterprising persons.
but it is doubtful whether a more strik-
ing ruse has been adopted than the one
just reported from the frontier.
A nurse. who was entering Holland
from Germany. had broken" arm that
was increased in plaster OF paris in the
regulation manner. Arrived at the from
tier, where every one has to submit to
the most rigorous search. the
military guard demanded that even the
plaster OF paris incasing the broken"
arm should be ripped open.
When the cast was broken. some eighty
letters lay exposed to view. The arm
was perfectly whole and healthy, and its
possessor is now in q German prison.

Conditions Are Causing Serious Dis

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ATHENS, February 20.-"Greece is
much more likely to be starved into
war than Germany is to be starved out
of it," said a prominent official of the
present Greek government to the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent. The ex-
the prices of the ordinary comm ODDITIES
of life. and especially foodstuffs, have
in many instances doubled and in vir-
tually all instances greatly increased
in the past year, the fault is largely
with Greece. If there be serious dis
comfort in the country it is quite as
much due to bad internal management
as to the mastery of the Mediterranean
maintained by the Franco-British fleet.
The Starving process, therefore, is
much more apt to lead to trouble for
the present Greek cabinet than, unac-
companied by any other circumstance,
to Greeces enforced participation in
the war.
For the common people of Greece the
situation is rapidly growing desperate.
The streets of Athens are alive with
beggars. The Island of Samos is in a
state of sporadic revolt. Pireus and
Patras have had disquieting demonstra-
tions of popular discomfort under the
increased cost of living While a mill
lion and a quarter pounds of potatoes
rot on the ground in Thessaly for lack
of transport. the price of potatoes in
Athens has risen from "a cents to 4S
cents a pound in the last year. Yet the
second attempt to fix maximum prices
of foodstuffs. which went into effect
at the end of January and which is
supposed to be vigorously enforced by
the police. set the wholesale price of
potatoes at 1-J cents pound, maxi
mum. and the retail price at cents
pound. Potatoes today, therefore. cost
twelve times the legal price and double
the market price of a year ago. though
there is no lack of potatoes within

Milk Should Be Chilled,

The provision of a bottle of milk is
suggested in one of the menus, but, of
course. taking milk to school in warm
weather would be impra cticable unless
means were provided for keeping it
chilled until it is consumed.
"'rhe school lunch container, the spe-
clalists point out. should permit venti
lation. exclude flies and should be of
a material which permits thorough
washing in boiling water. If glasses,
paper cups of spoons are provided the
child should be warned against letting
other children use them. The child
should be encouraged to wash his
hands before each meal, and for this
reason paper towels, paper napkins or
clean cloths should be provided. Food
that does not require ventilation should
be carefully wrapped in paraffin paper,
and the soft or liquid foods should be
packed either in jelly glasses, screw
top jars paper cups"

Ordered to Patrol Service.

To fit out for ice patrol service on the
north Atlantic coast the cutter Miami
has arrived at the New York navy yard
from Key West. 1t is expected that re-
pairs to the ship will be completed in time
for her to reach Halifax about April /.
She then will take her trick of duty on
the patrol and the Seneca will go to Hall
fax for stores. Every two weeks the cut
ters will change stations. and this service
will be maintained until the time when
all danger of bergs drifting down from
the north into the steamship lane is over
for the season.
To take the place of the cutter Miami
on the Key West station, which was
deemed too important to be left I'M
garded. the cutter Tallapoosa has shift
ed her headquarters for the time being
from Mobile to the southern Florida
port. She will do patrol work along the
Florida keys as well as in the western
portion of the Gulf of Mexico.

While the vessels of the coast guard

have been quite busy. About the mid
die of last week the cutter Gresham, on

trouble off Cape Cod. fastening to the
aid of the Bsbee, the Gresham ran
across the British schooner Lawson
ashore on Great Brewster.
The vessel was in a bad plight and
the cutter stopped to help her. While
doing so the Gresham got a line in
her wheel and had herself to send out
calls for assistance. The cutter Os-

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. March 20.
Clark Griffith proved himself clean
up pinch hitter in the game this morn
ing, tying the score with long drive
in the final inning of the game. The
bases were full, Charity having been
purposely walked by Shaw to reach
Griffith, who had announced he would
hit in the pinch. On the second ball
pitched he hit far over Rondeau's head,
clearing the bases and tying the score.
He should have had three-base hit, but
stopped at first and then was forced
out, ending the game.

johnson, Cuttings. Shaw and Harper
did the pitching. Johnson and Harper
showed wonderful form for this early
in the season. The runs off the Regu-
lars were all the result of errors,
Shanks making wild throw after
catching a man between bases, which
resulted in the two runs in the third,
and Williams dropping little infeld
fly in the fourth with two out, which
allowed Rondeau to score from second.
Grif1th's feat of tying the score with
a long drive, while Shaw was pitching
at top speed, was easily the feature of
the day. The Regulars and Colts will
battle again this afternoon.

He may be unable to properly
