Saying that the preparedness meas

been carried out three years ago the
Colonel declared that ''if Germany
could land a single small army of
$4,000 men in this country we would
be wholly unable to match it for we
have neither artillery nor airplanes
that could be put against them. If at
this moment our allies suddenly made
peace, we would be a helpless prey
to Germany or any other first class

afternoon gown of plum satin. The
whole effect of the dress is one Of
elaboration. In fact though an after
noon gown it is suitable for almost
any occasion except the ultra formal.
Wide gold lace banding forming the
shoulder straps and collar and cuffs
is but one of the distinctive features.
The same banding is gracefully ar
ranged to trim the tunic, and deep
cuff of rich fur finishes the tunic.
Even the georgette sleeves are elabor-
ate. They are trimmed with gold

that moro losses have occurred in this

Greek Navy is Greek Again.

| Athens, August "a, Correspondence
! of the Associated Press-The Greek
flag has again been raised over the
Greek navy, Greek officers and crews
are aboard and the navy has resumed
its independent status after a year Of
merger with the Entente fleets. This
applies to the twenty-five Warships
of the light squadron, consisting of de-
stroyers, gunboats and light cruisers,
and also to the battleships, chief of
which are the Lemnos and Kilkish,
formerly the American battleships
Idaho and Mississippi.
This change back to Greek control
is one of the results of the recent Bal
kan conference at Paris when the al
lied military and naval activities were
confined to the Saloniki region, while
the new Venizelos regime was strength
ened by entrusting to it the military
and naval control of lower Greece.
The Entente troops were rapidly with
drawn from all these southern sections
and at the same time the Entente
crews turned over the warships to
their Greek commanders.
1t was last October that ex-king
Constantines military and naval ac-
tivities were considered by the Entente
allies as such a menace in the rear of
the Saloniki expedition that allied con-
troll should be applied. On the light
squadron there was a change of flags
| and crews, and the ships went to Sa-
! loniki where they joined the allied
! squadron. The battleships Lemnos
| and Ki!kish remained at the arsenal
| near here, but had some of the vital
| parts removed so as to render them
incapable of doing any damage by the
! government then in control.
A crowd of several thousand Greek
| officers and their partisans gathered
! In front of the American legation at
| the time, trying to have the American
| minister intervene, which he sternly
| refused to do as being a matter en-
| tirely outside his functions. The
American authorities are satisfied this
| demonstration was planned by the
then existing government for politica!
| effect, to create the impression that
American sympathy was against the
| Entente allies. 1t failed of that effect,
| and thereafter the delegations of agi-
tators had to bear a request from the
| Ministry of the Foreign Affairs before
being received at the American lega-
| ton.
Now that the navy is again in Greek
| hands there is prospect that the light
| squadron may play a considerable role

no possibilities of change in the near
future. Having started the installa-
ton of a sewer on Hart street, the
sewer department of the board of pub

three men on the job, counting the
foreman. There should be at least 20
men on the job to complete it in time.

AMERICAN TRUST
in new ZEALAND
Packers Charged With Trying to
Corner Meat Supply

wellington, New Zealand, August
90, Correspondence of the Associated
Press.-Operations of American pack
ing companies represented in New
Zealand are at last under official in
vestlgation. The special committee of
the Dominion House of Representa-
tives which is charged with inquiry
into the activities of the so-called
"American Meat Trust" has held it's
first session.
The investigation is the outcome of
months of outcry and agitation in New
Zealand by Farmers organizations,
politicians and newspapers. Perhaps
the most determined and energetic as
sailant of the american Packers" has
been w. d. Lysnar, ex-mayor of Gis-
borne, and prominently Unidentified
with New Zealand refrigerating
concern.
The general charge against the
"American Meat Trust is that it is
surreptitiously taking advantage of the
abnormal conditions due to the war
to gain control of the New Zealand
meat trade for after-the-war purposes,
and that it is allied with a shipping
ring which manipulates meat
freightc.
The committee of inquiry intends
first to confer with departmental Off
Gals and then to take the evidence of
representatives of refrigerating plants.
Just before the first meeting of the
committee, of which he is a member,
the prime minister William F. Massey,
said Of the investigation:
1--WE are going to inquire into the
position to the very bottom, 1t may be
necessary to continue the investlga-
ton after this session of Parliament
in which case the committee will be
constituted a royal commission"
