Three more white representatives

Saturday afternoon for Camp Pike to

ed to leave here Friday night at II

for Camp Pike, via Memphis, have
been notified and all of them, with the
exception of one member are located.

ing all colored men called, on hand
Friday, but matters are now brighter
in this regard.
More White Men to Go.
The remaining white members Of
Lefore's quota are to go to Camp
Pike now just as soon as is practicable.
These three men leaving Saturday,
have been certified back to the local
Board by the District Board and 9TH
ers will be ordered out, just as quick as
they too are certified back.
From the present arrangements, it
is probable that the men will be sent

Healthy Petitions Up
Before Commissioners
Last Night.
MANY SHOWS
WANT TO COME
Would Swamp City With
All Kinds of Attrac-
tons This Winter.

Quite an interesting little session
was held by the City Commissioners in
their regular meeting last night, the
most vital matter discussed being the
regulation of the tented amusement
concerns now making plans to invade
the Queen Delta City.
The great influx of these entertain
ment companies into the city was
brought before the city officials in
their last nights session by three Pc
titions, signed by large number of
business men and property owners and
citizens. requesting that the matter of
allowing these attractions to show in
the city be regulated.
The Petitions Circulated.
The petitions circulated were ad-
dressed to the City Council of Green
wood and read as follows:
"We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of said city, respectfully
show that, in our opinion, the exhibi-
ton of the average tent shows in our
died. We do not think all tent shows
should be prohibited, but, in our opin-
ion, the moral welfare and best inter-
est of our city require that the ex-
hbition of tent shows be under the
supervision of the public authorities
and that the right to exhibit such
shows be limited and restricted.
"We, therefore pray that you adopt
and enforce an ordinance limiting and
restricting and regulating the exhib-
ition of tent shows in said city"
Greenwood Good Show Town.
That Greenwood seems to be the
magnetic center of this section for
small and large tented theatres, is
evidenced by the large number of ad-
vance agents and representatives of
all kinds of amusements from merry
go-rounds to the claimed "greatest-
show w-on-earth," who are now paying
visits to the officials at the City Hall
in an endeavor to arrange for q visit
in Greenwood for their shows.
The city is also plastered with all
kinds of advertising posters announc-
ing the arrival of numerous tented
attractions.
Will Take Action.
While it is understood that no i'm
mediate action was taken on this mat
ter at the last nights meeting, it was
learned from Mayor G. L. Ray this
morning that a remedy would be sup
piled to regulate the tented organi'
cations showing within the gates OF
the city.
1t is probable that an ordinance viii
be drawn up along the same lines as
one formerly in force, restricting thu
shows to locate on ground south Of thu
Southern Railroad tracks.
This matter will be looked into ant
acted upon Immediately.

HUN FINANCIAL
AID PECULIAR r
/. can of 10000, ,0GO Made to Govern
ment of King Constantine, But
No Money Was Touched.
Associated Press

ATHENS, Oct. 3-The German ad-
vance Of 20,OO0,00O to the recent gov
ernment of King Constantine was q
financial transaction quite out Of the
ordinary, as now developed under the
fierce scrutiny Of the Venizelos gov
ernment which displaced the Constan-
tine regime.
AS summed up by NJ. Venizelos him.
self, the peculiar features were:
While a huge sum was involved, yet
no real money passed from Berlin to
Athens, as it was all credit transac-
ton to be settled "after the war"
Also, although no money passed,
Greece finds herself obligated for this
$20,0O0,000, and is paying interest on
it at per cent. Finally, as stated
by Venizelos, the depreciation Of the
German mark was such that Of the
$40, 100000 only S12,O0O,OGO was real
lied, making a net loss of S8,O00,000.
Transaction Was a Secret.
The German advance was made
about year ago, at the time the Con-
stantine ministry needed funds to pay
the army which had been modified.
For some reason, however, it was de-
cided to make it a secret transaction,
and not inscribe it IN the budget or
report it to parliament along with
other loans. This was about the time
the Entente Allies presented an ulti-
matum demanding the rehabilitation
of the Greek army, which probably ac-
counts for the loan being kept secret.
In lying before parliament details
of the affair. M. Venizelos said that
Germany had in effect said: In these
critical times, we cannot advance act
ual money. But you can order your
government bank to print S20,OO0,00O
of bank notes, and we will order our
bank to open a credit for S20,OO0,00O
payable not today but at the end Of
the war"
No Transfer OF Money Made.
This was actually carried out, Mr..
Venizelos explained, the printing
presses at Athens turning out the $780,
100000 in bills, based on the Berlin
deposit but without any transfer Of
money. The interest began to run at
once.
The Bank of Greece is the storm
center of this agitation over the Ger
man loan, as it negotiated the loan
an dissued the s2O,O00,OO0 of paper
money. 1t is a government bank, and
as such it has a status throughout
Europe.
M. Venizelos now announces that
the management of the bank is to he
entirely overhauled. A new Manager
is to be brought from abroad, prob
ably from one of the allied capitals sc
he will be less sympathetic toward ad.
vances from Germany. The govern
ment will also oppose the extension Of
the banks charter, M. Venizelos alss
announces.
The German advance to the Constan
tine regime has thus become one O.
the chief political and financial sensa
tions of the day, and has eliminated i,
a complete turnover Of the govern
ment bank which is the corner -ston
of Greece's financial operations.
