ticularly after the outbreak last year
of the military against the entente ex-
pedition occupying Athens.
Since then Constantine has been al
most helpless in his realm, entente
emissaries keeping sharp eyes on his
eve1. move, even going so far as to
take over the food distribution Of the
country, and finally comes his abdi-
cation.
Constantine was born in Athens on
August 3, 1868, the name Constantine
being given him as an indication Of
the ambitions of the recently liber-
ated nation to extend It's sway TO in
clude the capital of the Turkish EN-
pire, and succeeded his father, George
l, on the throne after his parents as
sassination at Saloniki in 1913.

ments have been landed in Greece, it
was officially announced. French mill
tary authorities have taken over con-
troll of the food situation in Greece and
large bodies of French troops have
been moved into Athens.
A dispatch to the Havas agency
from Athens says:
IN. Jonnart has had long con-
ference with Premier 2aimis He in
timated that the entente desired
greater security for the army of the
east and the re-establishment of
unity in the Greek kingdom. He ap-
pealed to the patriotism of NJ Zaimis
to see that these objects were OBJ
talned peacefully
"M. JOnnart announced that mill
tary forces Fad been placed at his

Isthmus of Corinth and to maintain

HELD IN KEET KIDNAP PLOT
U. S. Agents Investigating Case Seek
German Conspirators.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 13.-Govern-
ment agents investigating the Keet
kidnapping case are hot on the trail of
German conspirators. Important evi-
dence has been gained from the pris-
oners held in connection with the
Springfield (Mo.) abduction, and one
arrest has been made here, federal
officials admit.
Aside from stating that the arrest
ed man is an officer in the German
army, they will give no details. The
man department officials are seeking
now is Dick Carter.
These men are believed to be in the
employ of the German government
and their connection with the Keet
kidnapping was only side line.
Piersol, at the county Jail, denied
to interviewers that he had confessed
to any abduction plots or that he had
been approached at any time by agents
of the German government.

WANT ACTION ON FOOD BILL
Protests on Prices Cause Cabinet tc
Prod Congress

Washington, June 13.-Methods to
expedite action on the food-control
measure were considered by the cab
met.
The president is anxious that con-
gress should pass the bill by next
week. Protests against high food
prices are being received from all over
the country. The protest of Samuel
Gompers and other labor leaders was
but one phase of the agitation for food
control.
There appears to be more interest
in the food situation at this moment
than in the war itself People who
feel the pinch of high prices write that
they cannot be highly patriotic to a
government they claim is permitting
them to be robbed by food spectators.
The president is determined that
there shall be no further unnecessary
delay.

WAGE WARFARE FOR
EUMPER POTATO CROP

Over 100000 acres of Wisconsin
land will soon have been planted to
potatoes, but next falls crop is not
assured until noxious weeds, potato
beetle, and blight have been success
fully cOmbatted
How this can best be done is pointed
out in a bulletin recently issued by
the University Of Wisconsin
Killing weeds by early working of
the fields will save hand labor later in
the season.
The spike tooth harrow or some
other light cultivation tool should be
run over the field to kill young weeds
before the potato rows become visible
Regular cultivation follows. High
hilling is not advisable if there is
danger of drought, but may be prac-
ticed in the cooler sections Or where
the land is heavy to provide for better
drainage. On sandy soils level cult
vatiOn is best
Potato spraying involves two peri
DDS, first the control Of the beetle in
July, and later the use of Bordeaux
mixture against blight
In hot moist weather the bugs
will hatch rapidly and do much dam
age unless promptly killed with poi
sons. Paris greaR, pounds to SO gal
Ions, is recommended, or dry arsenate
of lead, pounds to so gallons, may
be used.
Spraying fos blight commonly be-
gins during the first week of August.
The weather, condition of growth, and
general danger will largely determine
the frequency of application This is
the formula for Bordeaux mixture
copper sulfate, pounds; stone lime,
10 pounds; and water, 100 gallons.

U. S. RULES WORLDS TRADE
Espionage Bill Gives President Vast
Power.

Washington, June 13.-Control Of
exports was given the government
when the senate finally approved the
administration espionage bill with it's
embargo clause. Provision for news
paper censorship has been struck out
and there have been material mOdifi-
cations in other respects. The meas
ure now sent to the president for his
signature puts into the hands of the
executive weapon by which it is in
tended to stop supplies from entering
Germany through neutral countries.
Passage Of the bill removes to great
extent the necessity of the British
blockade, since the United States, orig
inator Of most of the exports that
reach the neutralS, will be in position
with the aid of British machinery es-
tablished during the thre years Of
war to see that the countries are sup
piled with just enough food and ma
terials for their own needs.

to enter these classes on Monday
morning from ten to twelve o'clock,
in the Red Cross room, ga Brent

most proficient graduate nurses in

rection of Mrs. Hyer on Monday

The Red Cross is most fortunate
in having secured the services of
Mrs. Quina, who graduated with
much distinction from the Pine
Heights Hospital, of Augusta, Ga,
which has since been consolidated
with the University Hospital, of that
city. Mrs. Quina is not only eminent
ly fitted for the work of instruction
through hospital training and prac-
teal nursing, but the enthusiasm
and earnestness which she throws
into all she does will mean much for
the success of the Red Cross.
The text books on Home Nursing
and Dietetics were received yester-
day and the work in those classes
will now go forward rapidly.
Mrs. Berry, chairman of surgical
dressings, and in charge of the work
rooms in the Brent building, said
yesterday afternoon:
Il wish you would try to impress
in every way possible the fact that
we want all who are interested in this
work to help. 1t is not necessary to
be member. We want workers,
whether members or not. Those who
can give half day, an hour, half an
hour, are invited to visit the rooms
and aid in the work we are doing.
''The tables which were made nee
essary through the increase in work
ers have arrived, with an additional
number of aprons and caps, and as
workers are added we viii further
increase our facilities, if necessary"
A number of donations have been
made to the Red Cross rooms within
the past few days, the Girls Friendly
Society having loaned dozen chairs,
Miss Sadie Kugleman having sent a
supply of towels, and mirror and
clock having been presented by one
of the members,
Whenever one visits the Red Cross
rooms one finds a busy corps of
workers, and while each time there
are new faces to be seen, there are
always faithful few who seem to
| give their entire time to this work.
