euIears Accused Of Starving Greeks.

Paris, Aug. 2. - Forty thousand
Greeks have been starved to death i'm
Eastern Macedonia since the Bulgarian
occupation began, according to anthem
tic reports received by the Greek gov
ernment, says dispatch from Athens.
"The Bulgarians," adds the correspon-

nation. They have inflicted all sorts
of privations upon the Greeks, bur-
dening them with military work and
them to Bulgarian localities"

Butte, Mont, Aug. 2.-Following the
lynching here of Frank A. Little this
town was tense with suppressed ex-
element.
Police and vigilantes patrolled the
streets and citizens were warned to
keep indoors. A vivid intensity per-
vaded the air, and officials were con-
stantly watchful for outbreaks.
The city's officials were in touch
with the governor, apprising him of
every detail and urging the necessity
of martial law should the situation get
beyond their control. Reports were
current that the city would 60 under
martial law.
Butte, Mont, Aug. 2.-Leaders of

urging them to send men at once to
Butte to avenge the death of Frank

Butte, Mont, Aug. Frank Little,

Industrial Workers of the World and
prominent in labor troubles in Ari-

house by masked men and hanged to a
railroad trestle on the outskirts Of the
city.
Called U. s. Troops "Scabs."
The body was cut down at a. m.
by Chief of Police Jerry Murphy, who
identified it. Little, in recent speech
here, referred to United States troops
as Uncle Sans scabs in uniform"
Made Radical Speeches.
Since his arrival in Butte recently
from Globe, Ariz., Little had made sew
eral speeches in which he attacked the
government and urged the men to
shut down the mines Of the Butte dis
trict. His record was under investiga-
ton by federal authorities. On. the
other hand the report was current that
Little was employed by a detective
agency, and one theory is that he was
the victim of radical element of whom
he appeared to be member.
Taken by Masked Men.
Little took very prominent part in
recent labor troubles in Arizona. He
was understood to have the confidence
of William D. Haywood, secretary of
the I. w. w. national organization, and
was regarded here as one of Hay

Little was taken out of the building

Orderly as Under Gear.

The Russian government of today is
as orderly as it was under the car
Mr.. Miles declared. There are prac-
tically no police in Russia. They are
not needed. Even during the revolu-
ton women and children walked the
streets of Petrograd with perfect safe
ty. l never saw such good humor under
such trying circumstances in all my
life.
The revolution seemed sudden. and
1t was sudden, in sense, and yet ii had
been growing for some time. that
movement for more responsible gov
ernment. Think of the morning Of
March IL. The Russian people gained
their freedom. but they lost their en-
peror. their national anthem and their
flag. They got their freedom. but they
lost some cohesive things that 90 to
make a nation.
These apparent upheavals are a form
of development" Mr. Miles continued.
They are form of developing a re-
spect for authority. The provisional
government. which l believe is as stron z
as Russia ever had. is feeling its way
and is representative of Russia.
This government sees to man that
Russia's only safety in the future is 10
win this war" Mr.. Miles emphatically
declared. when asked if there is amy
danger of Russia falling down with
her war program.
Even the common soldier comes to
you and tells you that he realizes that
the allies must win the war and that
Russia must stick to the limit.
IF Russia breaks up now. Germany
will gobble her up. bit by bit. with the

ON COAL PROBLEM
Federal Trade Commission
Busy With Subjects Broad
er Aspects.
LOCAL ISSUE NOT IGNORED

National, rather than local. aspects
of the coal situation are being consid-
cred by the Federal Trade Commission,
it was learned today. While the mem
bers of the commission in no way slight
the local situation, which was brought
to a head Saturday by the report OF
the commission charging exorbitant
prices here, the national situation looms
tremendously larger in the work of the
commission.
With the passage of the food law.
under the Pomerene amendment the
President. through the trade commits
sion. is empowered to fix the prices of
coal throughout the country. establish
rules for production and distribution
and to take over plants that refuse to
| conform to such rulings.
Tip to the Coal Trade.
| The commission held protracted meet
| ings yesterday and today, and although
| no statement was forthcoming from the
| body as to the questions under con-
! sderation. it is believed that the coal
| situation occupied a large part of the
attention of the commissioners.
| Those conversant with the situation
| do not regard the commissions state
| ment in the report on the local coal
| situation. TO the effect that amy pro-
greater than 10 cents per ton on Sep
| TENDER II as an order" but merely as
Il Tip" to the coal trade.
| The commission at this time does not
| believe that the full drastic powers
given it under the food law will have
| to he called into operation. At least,
such is the hope.
BY pointing out in the report on the
| local situation just what coal condi-
! lions ought to be in this city and in
all cities. and by merely naming what
| should. in the opinion of the commits
| sion. constitute fair and just coal prices.
| the commission hopes to tip" the coal
| trade off to the fact that it may be wise
| for the coal men to fall in with the
| findings Of the commission.
May Examine Books Again.
| The trade commission as yet has
| taken no official action on the letter
| sent it by J. Maury Dove. jr. vice presi-
| dent Of the J. Maury Dove Company,
| in which Mr. Dove charged the COM
I mission With unfairness and an utter
| lack of knowledge of the coal business.
| Members of the commission stated at
| the hearing saturday that the books of
| the j. Maufy Dove Company probably
| would be investigated again. This is
| the request that the company has now
! formally made TO the commission and it
| is believed that the request will be
| granted.

Mr.. Miles is optimistic for the future
of Russia, and declares that while it
may seem to readers in the United

of trouble and uproar among the Mus
covites since the revolution of March
II. in reality the progress from an en-
