WASHING ON, Nov. Greece

for the war until assured of full al
lied cooperation in furnishing needed
supplies, official Italian cables indi-
Gated today.
1t is apparent that the tremendous
Teuton drive into Italy has created
unrest among the allied powers In
the near east, whose situation would
be critical should Germany deliver a
crushing blow to Italy.
Premier venizelos of Greece, Is In
Rome now with prominent Greek
statesmen comforting with officers Of
the allied powers.
He says he will visit other allied
capitals before calling general mob
ilizatton of the Greek army.
Fully awake to acute danger In
the Italian situation all the allied
powers are cooperating to thwart
the kaiser's obvious effort to bring
about peace between Germany and
her Balkan enemies and devote his
entire attention to Great Britain
France and America. Secretary Bak.
or announced today that France and
England have sent large reinforce
ments" to help Italy.
Secretary Lansing announced an
extension Of 100000 American credit
to Roumania, to be handled through
the Russian embassy until the Rou-
manian minister now enroute here ar
rives. Further plans for helping Rou-
mania are being laid at conference
in London.
Assurances OF full cooperation
with Greece are given. Recent adj
vices quote the kaiser as promising
Constantine restoration Of his Greek
throne.
Italian cables throw little light on
the situation along the Tagliamento
river. General Robertson, of the
British staff and General Foch of the
French army have arrived in Rome
for conferences.
Newspapers indicated that the main
body Of the Teuton forces Is yet not
in contact with the Italians along the
river stronghold and that the critical
battle will not be fought for some
days.

WASTACE OF
GOOD FOOD
Several Cars Of Potatoes and Other
Vegetables Dumped Out
and Allowed to
Rot.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Department OF
Justice agents, food administration
officials and the police joined forces
today in investigating the reported
wastage of more than 500 carloads OF
potatoes, cabbages. onions, beets and
other vegetables in Chicago railroad
yards.
1t was declared at the food admins
tration offices that the alleged vast
age was discovered more than a
week ago and promptly reported to
the department Of Justice. Nothing
was made public, however. until Sat
urday night when the police. work
ing Independently. reported that more
than 500 carloads Of vegetables In
various stages Of decay had been
found on sidings. The police notified
Herbert Hoover and Harry A. Wheel
er, Illinois food administrator. Wheel
er is down state on speaking tour in
the interest Of food conservation, but
his assistants here promised imme-
date action. Today Robert w. Chflds.
special assistant attorney general. In
charge of food Investigations, sent
his own squad Of department OF Jus
tice operatives to probe the situation.
They will be assisted by the police
and the food administration.
The authorities admittedly have
not yet determined whether the al
legged wastage was due to changeable
weather or was Intentional, In order
to create shortage and force higher
prices.
The police Saturday night discov-
cred ten carloads of potatoes being
dumped In waste yard on the west
side. Investigation showed that a
large percentage of these were fit for
food. Citizens declared today. that
this and other dump piles had yielded
them big supplies of vegetables for
several months. The theory Of inten-
tional waste was strengthened by a
police report that in many cases
vegetables salvaged from dump piles
had been sprinkled with kerosene.
The destination cards had been re-
moved from all cars containing dam
aged vegetables and in most cases the
shippers were unknown. Several car
loads are said to have been forwarded
from Kansas City and points in Okla
homa and California, however, and
the authorities in those places have
been asked to aid In the investigation.

istered.
Mayor Mitchell today carried mis-
vote fight to the camp Of the New

Tammany is also after the fighting
mems support was evidenced by the
fact that many sailors were seen

fly over the city, dropping notices that
the Honest Ballot association would
pay 800 for information leading to
apprehension OF voting frauds. Thous-

Ian to win.
"All we have to do Is to hold our
regular vote and victory is certain"
said Tammany leader. I'VE will go
far ahead Of McCall's vote in 1913.

Where tho Trouble Lies.

Springfield Republican: If anyone
is shivering because Of lack of fuel,
or has factory stopped because of
the difficulty of getting soft coal. he
may still derive much satisfaction
from the statements Of the fuel ad-
ministration at Washington that dur
ing the past nine months 1000, 900
tons more anthracite have been pro-
duced than In the same period last
year, and that soft coal production
for the year 1917 would be 10 per
cent. larger than in 1915. These
figures ought to convince anyone
that the trouble is not with the coal
pile. The trouble comes in securing
access to it.
