United States Not a Party
to Coup of Allies Which
Dethr0ned King of Greece

Tho United States was not consulted
about the allied coup which dethroned
King Constantine. 1t was said at the
State Department today, and has not
as yet taken any part in the complex
diplomacy Of the general European sit
uation. So far, 1t was explained. the
| United States Is more of military and
| economic than a diplomatic partner
with the allies. But limitations were
given today that, as one object OF the
United States in entering the war was
to secure just and permanent peace
| founded on equitable principles. the
United States will begin to exercise an
increasing interest in all readjustments
| in Europe. especially in the Balkans.
The inference was left today that many
! of the changes now being made are
purely military and temporary and that
| the Anal settlement might largely dis
| regard them.
The United States will not have to
declare a formal recognition Of the
| new king, as Minister Droppers is ac-
credited not to an individual. but to
the King Of Greece. whoever he may
be. AS between the two Grecian par
| ties and as between monarchy and re-
publicanism in Greece. 1t was said to-
day that the United States would not
go farther than hope for a liberal"
government.
Great interest now centers in whether
the allies. having dethroned Constan-
tine. will urge Greece actively to enter
the war, or whether they will be con-
tent with her passive neutrality re-
moving all threat from rear attack on
the forces at Saloniki. The allies have
at least $4,000 men in the Balkans. in
GLIDING 275,000 French. 100000 British.
10000 Serbians. $4,000 Italians. $4,000
Greeks and some Russians and Portu-
guese. An enormous amount Of sup
plies has been gathered against the
cutting of Of Saloniki by U-boats, and
new transport lines have been laid
from Italy.
This force. even without Greek aid, is
capable Of strong offensive In the
rough Balkan territory. the prize OF
which would be the splitting Of the
central empires by the isolation Of Tur-
key and Bulgaria. The crumbling Of
Russian and Rumanian strength, how
ever. has smashed the other jaw Of the
pincers and has made an offensive prob
lematical.

Germanic vindictiveness
and Bitterness Heaped
Upon President Wilson
By the Associated Press.

AMSTERDAM. via London, June 10
Commenting on President Wilson'S
note to Russia, the Berliner Tageblatt.
according to Wolf bureau dispatch
to the Dutch papers, says:
THE entente countries naturally are
filled with satisfaction and gratitude
to President Wilson for having made
himself the mouthpiece OF the enemy
alliance against democracy. President
Wilson has practced self-denial to
such an extent that he could not have
given the message a more appropriate
supersc1ption that Wilson versus
wilson But perhaps he rates the
judgment Of the representatives Of the
Russian people insultingly low when
he believes that they will not grasp
the meaning Of this tight-rope per-
Torrance by Franco-Britsh order, with
the object of detaching the Russians
from their standpoint.
IF the Russian faculty to distin-
guish the real from the unreal isn't
dead, then President Wilson will ex-
pertence the truth OF the saying that
fine words butter no parsnips.'"

It was learned today that American owners of Mexican oil properties have brought the matter to the attention of the gov ernment with an urgent request that representations be made to General Carranza for modification of the de- cree. The tax rate on crude oil is fixed at ten per cent ad yalorem on valu- ation of $9.50 a ton in the Panuco fields or just about twice the present selling price.

THIRTY PERCENT DECREASE IN
 PRICE IF FOODS |S EXPECTED

the food bills before July l.
 Some of the labor leaders expressed anxiety as to whether the food bills are drastic enough to accomplish their purpose, but MT. Hoover assured them that the measures provide power enough to reduce prices.
 Figures were quoted at the con ference to show abnormal profits taken by middlemen. The statement was made that while flour is selling around $15 a barrel, it is being manu- factured in the west at a cost of about s7 and could be sold at SS or ss and still give a good profit to dealers.
 Mir. Hoover asked that no new wage adjustments be sought until after the food administration has had an oppor- tunity to try to rearrange distributive methods so as to eliminate unneces- sary links in the distribution chain.
 The food regulation bill was made a privileged measure in the house for next Monday and will be kept on the floor until disposed of.

WASHINGTON, June Econ vinced that creation of a food admin istrat.on will bring prices in the Unit ed States down fully 30 per cent, or ganized labor will get squarely behind the food control bills pending in con- gress and urge their immediate enact ment.
 At a conference tonight with labor leaders and representatives of the la bor group in congress, Herbert C. Hoover promised that the food admin istrat,on, when organized, would force prices to a level at which the small wage earner can exist. Labor repre- sentatives told MT. Hoover that unless costs fall the earner of moderate wages must get an increase in pay or go hungry.
 Officials of the American Fedora tion of Labor and heads of the big un- ions will send thousands of letters to local unions throughout the country directing members to urge passage of
