perfectly clear what the liberties as
well as what the restrictions of trade
are in this country" Every effort
was made by the President to keep
the visit to Baltimore non-partisan,
but when he entered the Lyric theatsr
for his speech he was greeted with a
four-minute demonstration which kept
him bowling again and again. A band

VENIZElOS ON WAY TO
LEAD CRETE REBELS
perately to Maintain Sufficient
Support to Contro! New Move

Athens. Sept. 27-Former Premier
Venizelos, accompanied by Rear Ad-
miral Conodouristis, commander-in-
chief Of the Greek navy, and a number
OF superior officers and supporters,
have left Athens.
The merchant ship Hesperia picked
the party ny from a boat i'm the open
sea. They are said to be bound for
Crete. which is now in the hands of
rebels against the Greek government
and are expected to so from there to
SaloGih.
1t is frankly admitted here that the
situation in Greece is serious. The ac-
ton of the former premier is con-
strued as directly in opposition to the
attitude OF the Greek government.
The administration is striving des.
perately to maintain sufficient support
to insure its control OF the situation,
but the natural leaning Of the people
inclines toward the ostensible under
taking of venizelos and the results
can at this time only be darby fore
caSted.

The delay in reaching an agreem mt

president Wilson held long con-
