GREECE BREAKS WITH TEUTONS.
Venizelos is at the Helm.-War Will
be the Next Step.

Athens. June 29.-The Greek gov
ernment has broken diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary. Bulgaria and Turkey.
Though war has not been declar-
ed yet, the Greek government con-
siders that q state of war exists since
it's advent to power yesterday. The
recall of the Greek diplomatic rep
resentatives accredited to the Central
powers and their allies is imminent.
Greece's new course with regard to
war began to be shaped on June II,
with the abdication of King Constan-
tine and the accession Of Alexander,
his second son, as king. The abdlca-
ton was in effect a dethronement OF
Constantine, whose pro-German at
titude had given the Entente endless
trouble and threatened not only the
success of the Saloniki expedition,
but it's safety through danger of back
fire from a hostile Green military
force. Decisive action by the En-
tente was long in coming. but was
drastic when finally taken.
Eliptherios Venizelos, Greece
leading statesman and fast friend OF
the Entente, soon appeared as the
man to take the leadership in guild
ing Greece back to her traditional
place by the side of England, France
aid Serbia, the last her close ally
whom she had abandoned under Con-
stantine's coercion in Serbia's hour
of greatest need.
Summoned back to the premier
ship by King Alexander, Venlzelos
quickly formed a cabinet. The reac-
tionary elements have been ousted
or uuieted, the reestablishment OF
Greek constitutional government vir-
tually abolished by Constantine be-
gan. That the parliament of May,
1915. which had been dissolved by
Constantine, will be again summon
ed to meet was later indicated, Civ
ing an executive backing to the new
executive power.

The route of Abraham, and of the
fielding army, passes old Ninevan,
across the river from which is the
city of Mosul, where the army is like
" to make a stand. This is a walled
city, the capital of a vilayet. A bat
tie beneath the ruined walls of Nine
yah would be in consonance with the
character of this war, which has so
wonderfully linked the old and the
new, the past and the present, the
East and the West. All that is alive
in Ninevah today is a little village
over the reputed tomb of Jonah, and
still bearing that prophets name.
If defeated at Mosul, the Turks and
Germans will make their next stand

est, Ras ell Ain, which is the old Ha-

where the Russian army will strike,

Of even greater interest, from the
religious standpoint, than the MILL
tary operations in the regions of
Abraham's early home, and Of the
exile and captivity of the Children of
Israel, is the progress of the British
expedition up from Suez and the
Siani peninsular. Very little about
this has got into print. A recent dis

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a
The east is outbidding the west
for western produce, and as re-
suit prices of all foodstuffs were
on the climb today.
Eggs today are retailing for 40
cents a dozen. A few days ago
they were 35c.
But they are climbing higher,
because eastern wholesalers will
pay 40 cents dozen for them in
carload lots and retail them in
New York city for 60 cents.
Butter costs As cents a pound

Carloads of it are going east

Garden truck of every sort Is
100 per cent higher than last
year.
Nearly two months ago new po-
tatoes (early 1917 crop could be
bought at retail for cents a
pound in San Francisco. Now
they can't be had at any price.
Meanwhile, George Shima, Jap

BLOOIE!
WHISKY
MISSING

Police officers are making
vigorous probe into the re-
port of Roy Magill, proprietor
of the Magill drug store, 1908
Portland avenue, that his
store was entered Thursday
morning and nine barrels Of
bonded whisky stolen.
The whisky, which had arrived
by steamer Wednesday from San
Francisco, comprised $50 quart
bottles, worth considerably over
$1,000 at wholesale prices.
Thieves could not have removed
the stuff unless they used a heavy
truck, and had at least three
strong men to handle the barrels.
Police detectives had heard that
the shipment was coming, and
several had been stationed at the
docks to watch the whisky after
ii reached Tacoma. ....
The shipment was broken up
into three consignments of three
barrels each, however, and was
taken from the docks without be-
ing detected by officers.
Detectives visited Magill Thurs
day afternoon, after learning that
the liquor had arrived in the city,
and were astounded when the
druggist informed them that he
had received the whisky but that
1t had been stolen from him over
night.
Police Capt. Cornish and Drug
Store Inspector Mckay consulted
with Prosecutor Remain on the
case Friday, but did not announce
the result of the conference.
Magill formerly operated the
Purity drug store, 14th and Pa
cific, which went into the hands
of receiver after being raided
twice.

SPUDS"- -
MAYOR

Another idea for reducing
the cost of living was intro
duced by Mayor Fawcett
Friday.
In a letter to the citizens
of Tacoma, the mayor sug-
gests that every home owner
spade up his parking space,
except where good lawns
have already been cultivated,
and plant potatoes for the
coming year.
Besides increasing the supply
of spring and summer potatoes,
which is of yet a doubtful guam
tity, the plan would give employ
ment at present to large numbers
of men in Tacoma who need work.
They could be hired to do the
spading and seeding.
The mayors written suggestion
follows:
Use Parkings.
Il want to urge our people TO
utilize this summer all vacant
lots and all parking spaces on
the streets that are not kept up.
Tacoma citizens can raise ST.
100000 worth of potatoes, ear
rots, beets, parsnips, onions, tur-
nips and other non-perishabl BILE
foodstuffs on the vacant lots and
unkept parking spaces this sum-
mer if they will.
ut ought to be done. There
are enough idle men wanting
work right now to spade up the
ground, and they need the work.
want to suggest to those who
are out of work that they imme-
diately get busy on the parking
or some vacant lot near them.
The owners of vacant lots grow
ing in briar and brush will be
glad to permit their clearing and
planting, and there are thousands
of homes where half dozen
sacks of potatoes next fall will be
welcomed.
Easy to Get Seeds.
Small potatoes for seed can
be secured at low cost, and the
small ones planted whole are just
as good as large ones for seed.
Let us the coming week have a
general spading campaign on
heretofore uncared-for ground in
Tacoma.
Il will be glad to have other
good suggestions for constructive
activity along this line given to
the people.
with foodstuffs at present
prices and no immediate prospect
of relief, constructive thrift is es-
sential.
There need be no shortage Of
seed for potatoes. Potato parings
containing the eyes of the pota-
toes are sufficient. The restau-
rants would be glad to turn their
potato parings over to those who
want to use them and much good
seed could be occurred this way.
In fact, farmers who lack seed po-
tatoes could do well to utilize this
source Of seed supply"
