MANY DEATHS CAUSED DAILY BY
BLOCKADE OF GREECE

Washington, March 1l-Another
gloomy picture of conditions in Greece
resulting from the Entente blockade
has been cabled to the Greek Legation
here by the new ministry of supplies,
with an urgent appeal for fastening
the shipment Of wheat from the United
States. A statement issued tonight by
the legation says:
"All reports from Greece received
by the Greek legation indicated that
the suffering among the Greek people
is beyond description. An epidemic
of intestinal inflammation among chill
dren, due to the quality of bread to
which the Greeks are reduced, results
in many deaths daily in the capital
alone. The lack of coal has forced all
factories to suspend and the masses
are suffering not only from hunger
but from dire poverty due to lack of
work"
In another statement the legation
denies public reports that part of the
salary of King Constantine is paid by
England and France.

New York, July 4-(Speeial.) l.)-While certain labor organizations, and espe- cially one which is very radical in it's methods, may seriously interfere with mining production, especially copper an other influence which has gained strong hold in North Dakota, and is likely to spread to northern Minnesota and South Dakota and other parts of the west, IS giving serious concern to many citizens, and it Is feared may ohstruct somewhat campaigning which will be carried on in that part of the country when the second loan is offered to the American people by Secretary McAdoo.
 Information was brought to New York this morning by one of those who have been in close touch with the sudden and amazing growth of what seems to be socialistic, almost radical, sentiment in North Dakota, which appears to De spreading rapidly into northern Mime sota and South Dakota, and is likely, ii not checked, to reach many of the agrl- cultural districts in the United States. This man said that he was persuaded that in the east, and in fact in the mid de west, there is only the faintest com prehension of the remarkable growth or what is called the Nonpartisan league. That organization at the election last fall carried the state of North Dakota over whelmingly in support of certain doc trines and political theories, which are

AMERICAN TROOPS
 HOUSED IN GOOD
 BARRACKS IN PARIS
Men Who Go to Capital for Celebration Find Every thing Ready for Their
 Comfort

Paris. July S.-Delayed.) )-When American troops arrived at their bar racks they were greatly pleased by their assignment to quarters in five story building, mainly constructed of stone. which they will occupy exclu- sively. The French government had supplied individual beds with mat tresses and a supply of bed linen. The sleeping quarters take up the three upper stories and are light and we'll ventilated. On the ground floor are shower baths and wash rooms.
 After arms were stacked and sup plies properly stored, the French sol diers at noon served an excellent luncheon of roast beef and cold bo- logna sausage, baked potatoes, cu- cumber and lettuce salad, cream cheese. bread and butter, coffee and cherries and oranges for dessert The French will supply all rations used in the barracks.
 During the afternoon the Army Young Mems Christian association took the soldiers on sightseeing tour through Paris. Leaves will not be d. lowed the soldiers until after the close of the Fourth of July cenebra tions, in which they will parade
 The soldiers will remain in barracks several days until the training camps of instruction are ready. Their bar racks are located near the Place De La Nation, with small detachments of French soldiers occupying smaller buildings grouped as a large. hollow square. The main building has many conveniences for the troops, including shower baths, writing and recreation rooms, canteen, hospital and postof- flee. Officers headquarters are in a small building near the entrance. AL lied flags are draped over the doors and in the center of a hollow square is a large parade and exercise ground
 The American officers are greatly pleased with their quarters and tho arrangements for the troops. Many of the American troopers speak enough French to get on with the French troops and all fraternize whether they understand the same language or not.

Z DEAD;; 4 DYING; 16 OTHERS INJURED IN CAR COLLISION Manistee, Mich., Trolley, With Trailers, Dashes on Tracks in Front of Ex-
 cursion Train

Manistee, Mich, July 1.-Two women are dead, four persons are dying and 16 others less seriously hurt are in a hospital here tonight as the result of a collision between a trolley car and an excursion train on the Manistee and Northeastern railroad tonight. Dead and dying have not yet been identified.
 The accident occurred at what is known as Peanut Junction crossing inside the city limits. The trolley car drawing two steel trailers crowded with holiday seekers, approached the crossing on an incline and, according to witnesses, the weight of the trail- CTS behind the car was too much for the brakes. The momentum forced the trolley car and the first trailer onto the railroad tracks, the excursion train crashing into the trailer.

DUTY TOWARD YOUNG GIRLS

needed more than anything else within your borders?
 What does it profit Alabama if she does raise many more thousands than is called for by the work of the Red Cross, if she must tramp over the prostrate forms of her poor, neglected, iIliterate young girls to do it, and that is exactly what is be- ing done today. Ought it not to be a matter of pride to our citizens that the future mothers of our state receive some consideration for the good of society as well as the good of the girls?
 l am well aware that they cannot vote at present; but how about the future I am most painfully cognizant of the fact that the state as state is not doing her duty toward these helpless wards and so it seems that but one thing can be done, and that is for the Christian citizenship 10 supplement the very plain duty of the state and thereby save the credit of Ala bama.
 Are not good, industrious lava biding citizens the most valuable asset for our commonwealth; and are not good mothers a most powerful factor in forming good citizens? How, then, can we expect good citizens from ignorant, neglected mothers who have been exposed to every i'll that flesh is heir to?"
 How can we have good mothers with out giving them the proper care during girlhood to fit them for a useful woman hood and decent, intelligent motherhood?
 Give the people connected with the State Training School for Girls at East Lake even half chance and we will place be- fore the eyes of the people of this vii cinity a host of girls that they may justly take pride in and also be conscious that their duty has not been half per formed and have a tendency to enable us to show that the girls are just as worthy and just as great factor to be reckoned with as to the future good of our commonwealth as the boys. I am only asking for equality.

o the Editor of The Age-Herald: :

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Dear Sir: Will you kindly give space in your excellent paper for the benefit of the public the following article: Very often in reading the newspaper I find therein fine notice calling attention to the Boys Industrial school and especially to the Boys band, and I am more than pleased to read them, for they are richly deserved. However I wonder if it ever occurred to the reading public that the families from whence came these boys were not composed entirely of boys, but that girls were also born into those same families. girls who need our help and consideration even more than their brothers. Does the public at large un- derstand that the State Training school at East Lake Is made up largely of the sisters of these same boys, and I want to call attention to the great partiality being shown toward those members of the same families
 Our girls have not even the common equipment that should be furnished any state institution, not even sanitary sleep ing quarters; nor any place for a school room except where the eating and living is carried on from day to day in the same rooms. For long months, yea, even years, has the board of managers, to- gether with the superintendent, been us- ing their best endeavors to light flame of humanity so that 1t would burn to some purpose in the breasts of our cit fzens for aiding these girls as well as the boys, but up to this time with poor suc- cess.
 Why cannot Jefferson county and the city of Birmingham do something signal toward retaining in their midst an insti- ution that would be continuous and val uable asset to this vicinity from even a mcrcenary point of view and one that is
