ing events there since the news of the abdication of King Constantine was received. The Greek legation has been cut off for several weeks from all communication with it's govern ment, receiving only occasion per functory instructions of a routine na- ture by way of Switzerland.
 The impression prevails here that the new condition of affairs will have no bearing on the situation in Mace don1a. The evening papers publish copious comments and retrospects and laudations of King Constantine. The Lokal Anzeiger says:
 The news indicates the final chap ter in one of the moving tragedies of the world war. This is not a trag edy with a single hero, this is the story of the ravishment of a whole people, and in vain will one search history for a parallel.
 ''It is plain as sunlight that Con- stantine laid down his crown only because he had not the heart, to de- liver up his people to starvation at the command of England and France. t
 Russia and Italy appear to. have been pushed aside in the recent En- tente understanding. Because the king was deprived through thumb b screw methods of every weapon with which he might effect his escape he was forced to decide to give up his throne''
 The Tageblatt suggests that it is possible that the role that Constan- tine played in Greece is not yet f1n- ished. eff for the moment" this paper says, Constantine was forced to retreat in the face of overpower- ing opposition, a source of comfort left to him outside the consciousness of duty well done, is the knowledge that the new turn of things has dis posed of his. worst enemy. the man wiro has been opposing him in his own country.
 svenizelos and his movement, as is now plain, are but episodes in, the progress of the tragedy of which we have been the spectators. venizelos. a willing tool, is the grave digger of Greek independence. The pit, how ever, is also prepared for him, since the scope of his power and influence have proved a disappointment"

LAND BOARD WANTS
BRUNEAU RETURNED
Demand Reason Why 1t Should Not
BE Relinquished- Hansen Butte
Problem Up.

BOISE-The state land board adopt
ed a resolution introduced by State
Auditor Clarence Van Deusen at its
meeting late Friday afternoon, de-
handing that the Twin Falls Land x
Water company appear before the
board before the end of the present
month and show cause why $4,000
acres of land segregated in southern
Idaho, should not be relinquished to
the federal government and revert
back to the public domain so that it
can be filed upon by entrymen, says
the Capital News. The segregation is
commonly known as the Bruneau prof.
ect and is located south of the Snake
river between Bull and the town OF
Bruneau.
The board also went on record to
urge the promoters of the Wickahoney
project to make a showing by May %
as to its plans and financial strength.
On April % the company was given a
80 day extension of time in which TO
make this showing. The land com
missioner was instructed to investi-
gate the T. r. Jones project in Bing-
ham county with view of relinquish-
ing the $4,000 acres of land included
therein for entry.
The troubles between the farmers of
the Hansen Butte country and the
Miner Canal company over the rec
lamation of lands in what is known
as the Hansen Butte project we're air
ed before the board. G. b. Schweiger
of Twin Falls and w. H. Turner OF
Kimberly appeared and asked that the
advertised sale of state land to be held
in Twin Falls and Cassia counties May
% be postponed for 80 days.
In support of the request they said
they thought the Miner Canal com
pany would get a sufficient number OF
settlers located on the land to vote
against the organization of an irriga
ton district and defeat the bonds fol
construction work. The board took TX
action on the matter. Both the set
tiers and the canal company are bid
ding for the lands, the former desiring
to irrigate it and the latter with tic
same object in view through the for
nation of an irrigation district

ELABORATE DINNERS
Not to Exceed Three Courses to BE

UNITED Press)


. WASHINGTON, May S.-Three
courses will be the maximum, even
for formal dinners in the United
States, while the nation is at war, if
the women follow the lead of the
first lady of the land.
Whitehouse banquets, in the past
noted for their extravagant elegance,
have been placed on a war footing.
Instead of the usual seven to ten
courses, only three were served to the
visiting English and French commits
sions at two dinners rivaling in i'm
portance and formality any even serv-
ed in America.
The menus for both dinners in
cluded an appetizer of tomatoes with
anchOvfes; plain soup; fillet of beef
with peas and potatoes; salad; ice
and coffee and cigars.
The dinners we're in line with the
policy of economy recently announced
by Mrs. Wilson and the wives of tie
cabinet members.
