On Steps to Rush
Food Legislation

met; Will Call Congress
Leaders Into Conference

Washington. June 12.-Congress de-
lay in enacting food legislation was
taken up by President Wilson and the
Cabinet to-day, and the President, it
is understood, decided to take steps
TO hasten action. He probably will not
make special address to Congress
on the subject, as has been suggested,
but may call in Congressional leaders
again TO impress upon them the need
for immediate passage of the bills.
Mr.. Hoover expects to have the or
ganization of the food administration
complete when Congress passes the
control bill. Already he is doing a
vast amount Of work and daily is see

navy ordnance bureau for the last
seven years, to appear at this investi-
CATION 10 answer the charge that the
fuses used by the navy are inferior,
and that inspection OF naval ammuni-
ton is uncritical and inadequate. In
addition the Navy Department is con-
ducting a searching inquiry OF its own
in an attempt TO locate the leak which
Secretary Daniels has attributed to
"elther spy or a traitor"
Senator Frelinghuysen has tele-
graphed 20 an address given 10 him by

Crisis in Greece
May Haze Profound
Effect in Bulgaria
BY ISAAC DON LEVINE

The events in Greece will have far
reaching effect on other countries. The
hurried visit paid by the Bulgarian
Premier TO Berlin last Sunday was
probably the result of the Greek crisis.
Gar Ferdinand has much to fear from
the abdication of King Constantine. 1t
was the overthrow of czarism that
brought about the abdication Of the
King. for, so long as the Romanoffs
ruled, the Allies could hardly depose
Constantine. The new Greece being
the result Of the New Russia. with
which the Bulgarian people are very
much in sympathy, the reverberatlon
Of the overthrow of the Greek monarch
may be profound in Bulgaria.
The effect on Italy is also bound TO
be momentous. Ii checks the imperial
istic ambitions Of the Roman govern
ment. The latter has hal designs on
the Greek throne, having proposed an
Italian duke as successor TO Constan-
tine in case of his removal by the
Allies. The retirement of the Greek
ruler. il will be noted, came as re-
suit of the visit TO Greece of Senator
Jonnart, representing France. England

Greece The Italian government was
not represented. in spite of its keen
interest in Greek affairs.
In Russia the Allied action in Greece
is not likely TO meet with favor. Re
publican Russia, which still remembers
the regency foisted upon il by the pro-
British Duma after the downfall of the
Gar. will look with suspicion on the
succession of Constantine by his son.
The new Russia is opposed to monarch
ism in all its forms. 1t will surmise
that the Allies did not make Greece

it would be independent and unmanage-
able.
Radical Russia will support any re-
publican movement that would develop
now in Greece, and may yet force

filing numbers of documents of a con-
fidential nature. Having such informa-
ton as he has divulged, he might dlvulge
ether information which might be put
to dangerous or Reasonable uses. At
least that is the view which Mr.. Daniels
holds. Another view heid by the Sec
retary, it was said to-day, is that "a
person really desirous of eifecting
reform or righting a wrong would have
come to him, the Secretary, with the
information upon which the charges
were based"
Some members of the committee ap-
pear inclined TO take humorous view
Of this attitude of Mr.. Daniels. 1t
seems 10 be the opinion OF some that
the spy or traitor may have been
actuated by patriotic motives. at the
same time desirous of protecting HIM
self from discipline.

Policy Of lndecision Swept
Constantine from / lis Throne
Weak, Uncertain, Swayed by Prussan Influence Greek
King Watched His Government Melt Away and His Peo-
pie Reject Him While Maintaining Obstinate Neutrality

Constantine, King OF Greece, hesi-
tated and lost. He had a hard part to
play and refused TO play it. II was his
destiny as the ruler of a nation TO sit
in at the grim gaming table of the
powers of Europe, where the stakes
were the future of the world.
And Constantine sat, and did moth
ing else. Therefore. to-day. he has lost
all he hoped to keep. From the terrible
struggle into which all of the other
Balkan nations had plunged, he alone
held back, unwilling TO face absolute
decision one way or the other.
Since Austria crossed the Serbian
frontier in 1914, two direct roads have
lain in front OF the King OF Greece.
One led TO war as Germany's ally, the
other to taking up arms for Serbia,
TO whom Greece was bound by treaty.
Faced by the choice OF acting as
traitor or rescuer, Constantine hest
tated.
tie was pulled two ways. His wife,
Sophia, sister TO the Kaiser. urged that
he hold his country TO neutrality, or
else cast his lot with the Central
Powers. Eleutherios Venizelos, patriot,
dreamer and yet man of action-the
ablest man in Greece begged him con-
tinuslly TO declare for the Allies. The
King, refusing to do anything but COM
promise. eventually compromised him
self out of his kingdom. He listened
10 Prussia and he listened 20 the APP
peals of the Greeks, and waited.
Loses Peoples Respect
Since the beginning of the war Con-
stantine. once the idol of the Greeks,

Resignation of Venizelos

In the spring Of 1915 the great drive
against the Dardanelles began. Venice
los then demanded that the King accept
the Allied terms-give Bulgaria Kavala
as the price Of an offensive against the
Turks, and receive in its place Smyrna.
The King refused and Venizelos re-
signed on March 6, 1915.
The story Of the two years that fol-
low is merely a repetition. The King
clung madly to the ideal of neutrality,
while the strength of Venizelos and the

by his capture Of Salonica and other
victories.
When his father, George |. was assas-
sinated, in March. 1918, the son was
hailed as the man who would realize
for the Greeks the greatest dream Of
the nation. Ii was he, they believed,
who would drive the Turk from Europe
and restore the Greek Church and
throne at Constantinople.
81 will uphold the glory of Greece
and always march al your head for the
Hellenic nation he told his soldiers
when he became their king.
The loyalty of his people, which Con-
stantine has triAed away, did not al
ways belong to him. He won il only at
the time of the war against Turkey.
In the Turkish conflict of 1897 he
brought upon himself their contempt
and freely voiced charges Of cowardice.
The army of ill-trained soldiers
whom he led against the Turks. Off
cered for the most part by Germans,
was beaten consistently from one end
Of the campaign to the other. So un-
popular did he become upon his return
TO Athens that he was obliged to spend
several years abroad. while feeling
against him cooled down.
His repeated victories in the last Bal
kan wars endeared him to the Greeks.
No king ever had more enthusiastic
support from his people than did Con-
stantine when he succeeded TO the
throne.
When the Second Balkan War ended
II found Serbia, Montenegro and Greece
banded together in defensive alliance.
When the European war began and
Serbia was invaded Montenegro remem
hered this alliance and struck with the
full strength Of her little force. Greece
/ held back.
Hing Looked for Reward
/ Constantine explained the desertior
Of his nation by saying that Greece was
weary of war, that she had fought the
4 Turk, had fought the Bulgar, and now
wanted peace. Later he got down tC
/ brass tacks and announced that Greece
was determined to keep what she hat

The King represented a minority oi
| Greek opinion. The leader of the ma.
/ jorty was Venizelos, Premier under
( both George and Constantine. He be
lieved that Greece's destiny lay in the
upbuilding of a maritime nation, one
that would control the Egean coasts
and, perhaps. the Dardanelles. Accord
ingly, he urged that the country throw
in its lot with the masters of the sea
the Allies.
For year Bulgaria hung in the bal
ance after the beginning of the war. II
/ Constantine had lent a ready ear to the
plans of France and England. Bulgaria
probably would be on the side Of the
Entente to-day.

. On the other hand, Speaker Pitt
Representatives Johnston OF Humboldt
Wormley, Hall and Giltner were among
the Pitt-Johnston bill leaders who sup
ported the Foster bill.
The measure Is one OF almost revo-
lutionary nature, in that it requires a
definite system Of caring for the

Under the bill, which will become
law when signed by the governor the
county boards OF supervisors are re-
quired to hire road patrolmen, who
shall devote all OF their time during
the road working season to caring for
the maintenance of the highways
The supervisors arc required to as
sign each man to a definite district
and he must visit each portion Of the
road In his district at least once q
week.
The working out Of the plan Is
left largely In the hands of the super
visors, who are granted authority to
fix compensation and determine the

Don't Let Soap \
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be careful!
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
sharnpoos contain too much alkali.
which is very injurious, as 1t dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsified coconnut oil. for this Is pure
and entirely Ereaseless. It's very cheap.
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
,nnnths.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t In, about q teaspoonful il all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather. cleanses
and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy, wavy
and easy TO handle. Besides. It loosens
and takes out every particle OF dust,
dirt and dandruff.

Des Moines, April 1.-THE senate of
the Iowa legislature yesterday after
noon tackled an amendment on the
Findlay anti-cigaret bill, which largely
annulled the force of the measure and
then passed the bill. AS the bill passed
the house it extended the injunction law
to places which violated the law against
the sale OF cigarets. When the bill
came up In the senate yesterday after
noon 1t was amended by, Senator
Thompson. of Des Moines county, to
make the Injunction apply only in cases
where dealers sold cigarets to minors.
In this form it was passed.
Senator Proudfoot, of Warren coun :
~, introduced a bill In the senate earl
Ter in the session which was similar to
the Findlay bill. 1t was defeated by
the upper house. The house passed the
bill last week and 1t came before the
senate yesterday. The principal argu-
ment against it was that it Is not now
possible to enforce the cigaret laws be-
cause cigarets can be brought in under
the original package provisions Of the
federal laws and sold in the original
package. and the state law Is power
less to interfere.
Tho Kimberly bill, increasing the sal
aries OF district Judges from $500 to
$4,000 and supreme court judges from
$4,000 to $500 per year. was passed by
the senate yesterday. having previously
passed the house. As this bill was or
iginally introduced it raised supreme
court judges to $500 annually and dis
trict judges to $4,000.
The senate yesterday defeated the
bill by tho committee on board of con-
troll affairs to do away with the wom-
ans reformatory at Rockwell City, The
proposal was to use the inebriate hos
pital at Knoxville for the women and
provide for the inebriates elsewhere.
The senate also passed the bill chang
ing the law with reference to forming

the amended law farm home cannot
