these unusual conditions are as fol-
lows: Greek shipping made a profit
for the year of s45.O00O. 900. This was
chiefly before the blockade, but the
profits are reckoned for the year. The
National Navigation company paid
dividends of per cent, and the Hell
lenic company paid the unheard of div
idend of Is per cent.
Bank shares have soarded in the
same way during the year. So also
the big trading companies paid from

Bought Foreign Loans.
People even had money to spare to
buy foreign loans, and about 10000, OOO
francs of the French loans were taxi
en- in Greece. 100000 roubles of the
Russian loans. and similar amounts
of the British loan. New banks were
founded to take care of the growing
business. and building operations went
ahead with boom.
These conditions of boom and pros
perity strike all countries from time
to time. but how they should have
struck Greece when the government
was In a state Of steady CONFUSION. and
the allied fleets were closing in all

perts to explain. One theory for the
high premium on Greek money is tina,
the presence of great numbers OF allied
warships poured flood of foreign
gold into the country. But the CHIEF
reason is believed to be the practice OF

-(COrrespOndcnce OF the AS

months, eliminating with the olOck-
are of Greek ports by the Allied fleets
and the abdication of King Constant
Inc, by some strange economic pho
nomena, the country has enjoyed a
year of unexampled prosperity, with
huge profits piling up enormous for
tunes being made. and such an accum-
ulation Of riches as modern Greece has
never known before. About the only
people who have suffered are the really
poor. who have been reduced to state
bordering on starvation by the high
prices and the lack of food stuffs
caused by the blockade.
Whole Nation Sealed Up.
The blockade was in effect about
eight months, beginning December 6
last and running until this mid-sum-
mer when Constantine decided to alb
dictate. During all this period every
port in Greece was tightly sealed. by
a Gordon of French. British and Italian
warhsips which completely encircled
the country and watched all the outly
ing islands. Even before the blockade,
the entente allies had exercised a con-
troll SO that not even the ordinary nee
essaries Of life, such as oil. could be
brought in from America without n
special license issued from one of the
allied legations. The allies were in
control. too, Of railways, telegraph.
postoffices and a good many other
functions of communication.
Stimulated Economy.
But these very restrictions seemed
to stimulate people to greater economy
and thrift. and. as a result, the last
year shows this unprecedented pros
perity and increase of wealth. Banks
made more money than ever before.
and people had larger bank deposits.
The big corporations paid the largest
dividends In their history. Greek mon
ey was Mt premium over French and
Italian money, and the rate Of ex-
change at all the great financial Gen.
tiers continues to be strongly in favor
Of Greek money.

Gila Bend citizens last night. He will immediately make his report.
 At the Thursday morning meeting, Captain Greenway suggested that a district military census of the state immediately be taken. The census now provided in the Arizona statutes are in complete and will be found unsatisfac- tory, he stated. We should gather complete information and data regard ing every male citizen in the state be- tween the ages of 16 and 50 years" he said.
 No Limit to Patriotism
 Why limit the age to 50 years, shouted one of the older men in the room. T am above that mark and will demand that my name be included on that list" And so it was through out the meeting. Patriotism was 8 dominating feature from beginning tC end. These men were not merely will ling to sit back and tell somebody else what to do and how to do it. They in- sisted in taking part themselves.
 Judge F. O. Smith of Prescott urged that no time should be lost in learning the attitude of Americans toward the foreigners in the state. He urged that every state organization be invited tC participate in the work which is ahead of the council.
 Among the most important matters discussed during the morning session was discussion relating to drafting an( issuing a set of resolutions, Whicl would be supplemental to resolutions issued by Governor Campbell. Afte discussion. however, it was decided tt ! issue these prOclamations on behalf o the council a committee including Gov ernOr Campbell and President Hear, l being named to draft the same. Tn committee was composed of Andrew Kimball. Captain J. c. Greenway, Dr MacDougal, Judge Frank o. Smith ant Rev. Johnson.
 Discussions also took place relativ, i to the safety and welfare of the state Much was also said relative to the con servation and production of foodstuffs but all these matters will be ampl, cared for, it is thought, as soon as tn various sub-committees get into action
 Committees Added to Additions to various sub -cos'7r'oi++~N N were made as follows: A. c. .McGrego

Gila Bend Situation First to Demand Attention and Captain Greenway Goes to Investigate and Report

Patriotism, which has been shoulder ing in the breasts of hundreds of Ari- zona citizens burst into flame yester- day when the wheels of the recently created Arizona Council of Defense were put into motion. From all sec tions of the state came communications pledging support to any action taken by the council
 From early indications, this organi- Zation will be known to future genera tions as body of men and women who did things and did them we'll The men, assembled in Phoenix the past two days, have not been spending their time arguing over trivial matters Many of those present forewent their own ideas in favor of larger or broader measures which were more generously accepted by the council In fact, the motto of the whole meeting seems to have been, ''Whatever is for the best of our peo- pie, our state, our country"
 No time is to be lost in working out the various details embodied in the operations of the council. This has al ready been demonstrated by the man. ner in which the various committees have set about to carry on their work. Speed, more speed, seems to be the cry on every hand.and it is more speed that residents of the state are to get.
 Although the general council as sembly adjourned yesterday morning shortly before noon, subject to the call of President Dwight E. Heard, the ad- jOurnment was merely a dispensing of the members in order that they might return to their respective localities to put into motion in a broad measure the activities planned and outlined at the two-day meet here.
 Headquarters at Capitol
 President Heard and Secretary Smalley will maintain headquarters at the capitol. where they will continue the work of the general council in a broad manner. Much work is to be done within the next week or ten days and necessarily the two officers must remain continually at their desk.
 Members of the council had their first opportunity to get into action yester- day when Dr. l.. H. Richards Of Gila Bend notified Governor Campbell of several outrages committed by Mexi- cans in that vicinity
 According to the telegram received by the chief executive, property is be- ing destroyed by the Mexicans and one white man has already lost his life. It is reported that a Mexican has been threatened with hanging because he is an American citizen.
 The matter was referred to the com mittee on military affairs, of which Captain J. C. Greenway is the chair man. Captain GreenWay left yester- aaX afternoon to attend a meeting of

A Little Child

1t wz,5 a great big heart in little bit of body, the body ot crippled girl-that shook war thoughts from the minds of more than one peoes- trian yesterday afternoon and for fIeetine moment took these pedes- trians on joyous trip back to the days Of childhood, even as you and !:
 Remember when we were kids and use to run errands for the neighbor woman. Quite frequently she gave US | penny for doing these little chores and then we'd run down to the store on the corner and buy candy or peanuts or chewing gum.
 Ard 50 it was with this little girl. She had completed her errand and received her reward, nice, new penny. All the way to the store she was trying to decide in her mind just what would be the most ap- propriate purchase. There was candy aplenty to choose from, also various kinds of gum and she could get whole glass full of peanuts for penny. An all-d day sucker sound cd pretty appetizing too.
 Then she rounded corner and almost directly in her path sat blind man. His was hard world, Of that there was no question. Even as she linped along she was seen to hesitate.
 She continued few paces past the man, then stopped. The store was only a few additional paces and it was the first penny she had had in long time. She looked longnsly at the bright, new coin and still more ongingly at the store.
 It was great battle being waged in her little brain and the unselfish, charitable soul won. Her candy will come another day.
