Troops In France.

fort kits. sent out to Red Cross chap
tiers Of New York, Philadelphia and

Commenting on these Red Cross
gifts, Gen. Pershing said:
These things cause the soldier to
remember that the people at home are
behind him. You do not know how
much that means to any soldier who
Is over here carrying the flag for his
country. This Is the point which
should be impressed in the minds of
those who are working for the soldier"
Writing paper, to bear tidings to
those at home; tobacco. knives and
other articles are the gifts in the kits.

in June. Il Report.

A decrease Of 10 per cent In the con-
sumption Of Hour In England Iii june Is
the claim made by the national war
savings committee as result of the
"eat-less bread" campaign inaugurated
to conserve food, according to report
received by Herbert Hoover today.
This saving. 1t is stated, is in excess of
all expectations.
The success of the educational cam
paign in England, it Is stated. is shown
by the fact that in March the saving
was but 2 per cent and In April 1 per
cent as against the 10 per cent for
June. The committee says that 1t Ell.
poets an even greater Increase In the
future. and gives much Of the credit to
the intelligent cooperation Of women

GREEK MINISTER IS
PREPARING BOOKLET
on GERMAN PEhF.rl.
white Book" Will Soon be
Issued by the Foreign Min
lister of Greece, Showing
Record of Neutral Nation.

ATHENS, Aug. Is (By maiD.-The
minister of foreign affairs, NJ. Politisi
was busy putting the finishing touches
| on the White Book, which is to re
veal to the Greek parliament the ex
tent to which the recent administra
. ton of King Constantine was under
German influence, when a staff CORE
spondent of the Associated Press
called on him today.
This makes a serious record OF
perfidy," the minister said on glanc-
ing over some of the proof sheets OF
the White Book.
He spoke in a tone of regret of
these unpleasant revelations, which
were made, he said, only that the
public might be aware to what extent
German influence operated in shaping
the neutral regime of Greece up to
the time of King Constantine's re-
cent abdication.
Asked what aspirations Greece was
likely to have in the peace congress,
NJ Politisi said:
There are, of course, the larger
general questions in which the en-
tente allies have shown a common in
terest, and to which Greece naturally
gives the fullest assemble indepen>
dence and sovereignty of each state,
great and small; its territorial in
tegrity. as against the ambitions of
other nations; an international court
for the maintenance of peace; the
observance of treaties and the re,
establishment of international law
and practice in the dealings between
nations.
The minister spoke of the recent
Balkan conference at Paris as highly
satisfactory in its results.

THEATRICAIS HARD HIT

Theatrical touring companies will be
seriously handicapped by a threatened
new war regulation in England, which
will come into effect this month, pro-
hibiting the carrying of stage scenery
on the railroads. The order as drafted
also provides that members of theatre
cal companies en- route may travel on
Fridays only.
The secretary of the Theatrical Man
ayers association, in a vigorous pro-
test, says:
The prohibition of scenery will
bring us back to 25 years ago, when
the majority of the small city theaters
provided their own scenery. An enor-
nous amount of reorganization will
be necessary. Travelling on Friday is
also extremely unsatisfactory. Apart
flom meaning the loss of one business
day, the Saturday afternoon matinee
will be lost except in the case or
towns near London. l quite fail to
see how any show is to pay under the
circumstances"

LABOR FOR GERMAN MINES

in the German coal mines.
The scheme provides for the send

coal thus dug must be delivered to
Germany. The Swedish workmen must
bring their food and other necessary
supplies from Sweden. and the coal
must be loaded at Hamburg by Swed-
