hers Of the Greek-American Loyalists
League at a mass meeting in Ola ma
sonic Temple yesterday afternoon.
George T. Thomaides, local law

not willing to pledge their allegiance
to this country to stand up. No one
arose, and when Mr.. Thomaides pro
posed "three cheers for President VII
SON and this great nation" the room
rang with applause and cries OF Zito
Wilson from men and women.
American flags were waved and

CUT IN COAL PRICE
TO Be SHORT-LIVED
DecrsassNAnnounced BY Dealers
to Prevail During Remainder
of This Month.

Coal will be cheaper by IS or t0'
cents q ton during the remainder Of
this month in Washington, said sew
eral dealers today. Some have an
nounced new schedules, effective to-
day. while others will do so later.
The new price will be in force only
during April. 1t is believed. After
that time 1t Is probable that another
change will be made by the producing
companies Several dealers predicted
that the price would advance to Its
former level after this month.
Usually on April i the price de-
creases about SO cents a ton and re-
mains at that level until June i. when
10 cents a ton Is added. Ten cents q
ton Is added each succeeding month
until the normal winter price IL
reached.
Officials OF the ]. Maury Dove Coal
Company, Inc. whose decreased prices
become effective today, said present
conditions indicated the lower prices
will not prevail during the summer.
1t was stated that later there prob
ably will be difficulty getting coal, a.
mining and railroad conditions are
about the same as they ordinarily are
during the winter.

TELEPHONE MEN JOIN
Five Hundred Expert Construction
Engineers Are Being Sworn In.


NEW YORK, April 9.-The American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
has given to the United States what
is perhaps the finest auxiliary signal
corps possessed by any army. By ar
rangement with the War and Navy
Departments the telephone officials
will furnish picked engineers TO the
army and navy, paying them the diff
ference between the army pay and
their salaries with the telephone com
pany, About ive hundred engineers
have been selected already for this
work, and some OF them have been
sworn into the Government service.
The work has been going on quietly
for more than a week.
II the United States sends an army
to the front, these men, the best en-
Rineers of the best telephone system
in the world, will supply communities
tion facilities. The corps will be made
up of general engineers, plant en-
gineers, and traffic engineers, to plan,
set up, and operate telephone. tele-
graph, and wireless plants. Also men
will be supplied to assist in the wire
less work of the navy IL the regular
force proves to be too small. The
Bell system has q great many en-.
gineers-there are 5000 in the East
ern division. 1t is estimated that 500
will be enough for the present needs
of the military service.
The American company perfected
last year the wireless telephone sys-
tenn that made It possible to talk from
Paris to Washington and from Wash
ington to Honolulu. While Mr.. Bethel

that are being made for the army
service, IL is more than likely that

COLD BAD FOR FLIES

Health Department Advises killing
Those Driven Indoors BY Weather.
Take advantage of the cold snap
to kill the early fly"
This Is the advice of the Health
Department. The cold weather,
Health Officer w. C. woodward said
today, drives the flies indoors and
offers an excellent opportunity for
their determination. Every ny killed
now will mean, he said q decrease In
millions In the fly population later.
Now Is the time, also, to clear out
the breeding places The suggestion
is made that the children employ part
