! cled the country and watched ali the
outlying islands Even before the
( blockade the entente allies had eXer-
clsed control so that not even the
ordinary necessaries OF life. such as
| oil, could be brought in from Amer
lea without special license issued
from one of the allied legations. The
allies were in control. too. OF railways,
telegraph. pest offices and a soO-
many other functions Of communica-

People Learn Economy.
But these very restrictions seemed
TO stimulate people TO greater econ.
omy and thrift. and as result the
last year shows this Unprecedented
prosperity and increase in 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 money was at premium over
French and Italian money. and the
rate of exchange at all the great fl
nancial centers continues TO be
strongly in favor OF Greek money.
Some of the big profits made under
these unusual conditions are as fol-
lows: Greek shipping made a profit
for the year of $4,000. 600. This was
chiefly before the blockade, but the
Profits are reckoned for the year. fne
National Navigation company paid
dividends of rs per cent, and the Hell
lenic company paid the unheardof
dividend of l65 per cent.
Bank shares have scared i'm the
same way during the year So also
the big trading companies paid from
10 to 23 per cent dividends.

12.e00,000 francs/of the French loans
were taken in Greece, 1000, 900 rouble
of the Russian loans. and siIniIai
amounts OF the British loan. New
banks were founded to take care Of
the growing business. and building
operations went ahead with a bonn.
These conditions of boom and pros
perity strike all countries from sIm-
to time, but hoy they should have
struck Greece when the governnent
was in state OF steady convulsion
and the allied fleets were closing in
all around has been hard for the ex-
perts to explain. one theory for the
high premium on Greek money is
that the presence of great numbers of
allied warships poured flood of for
eign gold into the country. But the !
chief reason is believed to be the |

much heard OF and is in marked con-
trast with the rest of war-torn Eu-

GREECE ENJOYING
REAL PROSPERITY
Only Really Poor Have Failed

War Started.

ATHENS, Sept. 22.-Despi:e the
governmental chaos In Greece during
recent months, eliminating with the
blockade Of Greek ports by the allied
fleets and the abdication OF King Con-
stantine, by some strange economic
phenomena the country has enjoyed
year OF unexampled prosperity, with
huge profits piling up. enormous lur-
tunes being made. and such an accu-
mutation 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 tho
high prices and the lack of foodstuIis
caused by the blockade.
The blockade was in effect about
eight months. beginning December
last and running until this midsum-
mer, when Constantine decided to alb
dicate. During all this period every
port in Greece was tightly sealed by
a cordoD Of French, British and Ital-
ian warships, which completely encir-

PREPARATIONS MADE
FOR NOVEMBER BAZAAR
Philadelphia School Associa-

for the Red Cross

William Howard Taft said recently in
the National Geographical Magazine: THE
Red Cross is the only recognized agency
through which we may help to take care of
the wounded of the armies and the nations
that are fighting our battles, 1t is an ad-
mirable ARRANGEMENT that some such avenue
as that should be supplied to give vent to
the patriotic desire Of those who cannot go
to the front to help in behalf Of their coun-
try and the world"
Last week America started 10 raise
800 900 900 for the Red Cross, thus giving
each stay-at-home the opportunity to help
those who are fighting for them.
While giving to this fund until IT hurts"
it is well to remind our Philadelphia pa
triots of the work they can do during the
summer for the patriotic bazaar in aid of

alumni associations of the higher schools,

citation and the grade organizations, the

ers' Annuity and Aid Association, the

delphia School Associations Bazaar Now
