Athens, Feb. 23.-King Constantine
received the Associated Press corre-
spondent in audience this morning
lust before the latter left for Amer
lea. Today is the Greek New Year
and before the interview, the CORE
spondent witnessed with King Con-
stantine, Queen Sophie, the Princess
Helen and the young Prince Paul, the
time honored New Years ceremony at
which band of Greeks chant choruses
in praise of king and country, in the
great hall of the palace.
'I am sorry you are leaving u.s."
King Constantine began abruptly.

ciated Press never got thru the cen

added. Neither do mine"

most ridiculous, the most outrageous
nonsense about what is happening in
Greece is published daily in the Eu-
Iopean press. And when my govern
ment sends official denials of them
the European newspapers will not
even publish the denials.
All we ask is fair play. We have
been sorely tried these past two years
and we don't pretend to have always

England and France, especially, have
succeeded in alternating an admiration.
a sympathy and a devotion toward
them on the part of the Greek people
that, at the beginning of the war was
virtually an unanimous tradition. The
only trouble with that is that they
make us pay for the errors of their
policy.
Die From Hunger and Exposure.
The people of Greece are paying
for them now in suffering and death
from exposure and hunger, while
France and England starve US out
because they have made the mistake
of assuming that their man Venizelos
could deliver the Greek army and the
Greek people to the entente powers
whenever they wanted to US Greece
for their advantage, regardless of the
interests of Greece as an Independent
nation.

his from in front of his residence at
4:30 p. m. and the machine of A. H.

already made off with it.

Wheat Coming In Fine,
ACCORDING to Mr.. Neal

Food Administration Agent Neal
is taking all wheat offerings and re-
consigning to mllers in Omaha trade
territory. Purchases are all made
in accordance with the government
schedule of prices.
Il am greatly pleased with the man
ner in which the holders OF wheat are
loosening up said Mr.. Neal. "The
receipts Wednesday were twenty
seven carloads, much greater than any
day during the last two weeks, all OF
which indicates to my mind that men
who have been holding for higher
prices are becoming more patriotic
and are displaying a willingness to do
their bit in helping the country.
While the supply has not reached
the point where it Is equal to the de-
mand, il is increasing and | am pretty
well satisfied with the outlook.
There is big demand for seed
wheat and it comes from all parts of
Nebraska. We are filling orders as
rapidly as we can, but whether or
not we will get in enough to supply
the demand ! cannot say.
THE wheat that is sought for
milling purposes is being taken over
as fast as offered and is then distri-
buted where it is most needed"

ington.

Three million Scent postage stamps
are lying in the vaults at the local
postoffice, apparently a total loss,
They were received from Washing
ton about two months ago and had
been printed because some govern
ment officials believed congress would
put clause in the war tax bill pro-
viding for a rise in frst-class postage
rate from 2 cents to ; cents.
The senate has rejected, by a de-
cisive vote, this method OF raising
part Of the war tax.
There is a possibility that the con-
ference committee will put the Scent
postage provision back in the BILL"
said Postmaster Tanning, but this is
not likely. Many men believe that
CORRESPONDENCE would decrease so
much if we had Scent letter rate
that we couldn't get any increased
revenue, even at the higher rate.
Il think the Scent stamps are
destined to go back to Washington
and be destroyed. Without the Scent

CLIFFORD CROOKS
WITH FOOD CONTROL
Appointed by Wattles as State
Merchants Representa-
tive Of the Food Ad-
ministration.

Clifford Crooks, president of the
Nebraska Federation of Retail Deal
ers, has been nominated by Food Ad-
ministrator Wattles as state mer-
chants representative of the food ad-
ministration. Confirmation Of the
nomination will come from Washing
ton.
His duties will be to work out a sys-
tenn of cooperation with the retail
merchants of the state to the end
that through them information from
the food administration from time to
time may be transmitted to the Gus
toners OF the stores who are the
ultimate consumers.
Between $4,000 and 10000 posters
are soon to be distributed to the re-
tail concerns OF the state to be posted
in the stores, containing certain in
formation and suggestions with re-
gard to food conservation.
A survey recently made reveals the
fact that there are Il 900 retail stores
in Nebraska. Through this list the
customers will be reached constantly.
Mr.. Wattes has a letter from
Henry c. Akin, who complains that
fuel oil has gone up 4H cents per
gallon to 81 cents in the last year.
This is being used in the oil burners
in Omaha and elsewhere for heating
purposes. The writer complains that
those who have installed oil furnaces
have no assurance that it will not go
higher, and besides have no assur-
ance that they can get deliveries. Mr.
Wattles will refer the matter to the
fuel administration as soon as one is
APPOINTED.
