Alexander. the V king of Greece, in whose favor KlAg Constantine ab- dicated, is nearly three years junior to his brother George. having been born August 1, 1893. He is known to have an unrestrained admiration for Venizelos and is believed to be intensely pro-entente. A year ago 1t was reported that he had thrown up his commission as captain in the First regiment of artillery in order to join 'Venizelos' volunteers.
 The difficult situation" between King Constantine and the allies de- veloped from three distinct causes the alleged pro-German attitude of Constantine, whose wife is . sister of the German emperor; the fact that three of the entente powers are guar antors of Greek constitutional liberty and the fact that the Greek-Servian treaty of March. 1913. which Con- stantine violated, pledged the support of either power if the other were at- tackled by Bulgaria.

NATURE GAGS CONGRESS

Senate and House Forced to Recess
 Because of Chatter Of Rain and Hail
 on Skylights. \
 Washington. June 15.-Spellbinders of the senate and house met a Water loo yesterday afternoon in a terrific electrical storm, accompanied by rain and hail, which swept over Washing ton for an hour. Both branches oe congress were forced to adjourn be- cause of the chatter of the rain and hail on the sl<ylights.
 Motions for a recess. made in the senate by Senator Hollis, of New Hampshire, and in the house by Rep- resentative Stafford of Wisconsin after speakers were unable to proceed, were adopted unanimously. Members of the senate and house. unable to get away, crowded the windows and watched the havoc wrought by the storm
 Some of the most treasured trees around the Capitol grounds were up- rooted. Limbs were torn off by the deluge.
 The storm, which was general throughout the city, killed one man and injured another seriously. John Poorman, a wagon driver. 54 years old, who sought refuge under a tree, was killed by lightning.
 The storm came up suddenly after morning of intense heat and bright sunshine. It came from the west, blowing a gale of 50 miles an hour, one of the worst that has hit Wash ington in years.

FAIR COMMITTEES TO
MEET this EVENING
Important Meeting to be Held at The
Law Offices of Vernon = Bradley
Tonight, at 4 O'clock, And Mem
berS of All Committees Are Earn
eStiy Requested To be Present.

There were many persons that
thought this would be very poor
year for a Fair; there was even some
inquiry as to whether or not the
Fair would be held, but notwith
standing this feeling, it is an actual
fact that there has been more inter
est exhibited in the Fair this year
than during any previous year. Let
terS, telephone calls and numerous
personal inquiries have been receiv-
ed by the directors and officers with
reference to it, and upon all sides
there is a current of cooperation
that is distinctly encouraging. There
are more exhibits entered now than
ever before this far in advance of the
Fair; there have been more booths
rented in the Exhibition Building,
and more inquiries for booths than
ever before. Much of this may be
due to the fact that President Will
son has expressly asked the Ameri-
can people to hold their Fairs this
year; in fact, all departments of the
Government at Washington are en-
couraging these annual events
The meeting of the directors last
night was the most largely attended
meeting that has been held for three
years, and tonight it is hoped that
all of the following committees will
be present at meeting to be held in
the law offices of Vernon S. Bradley,
Esq, on High street, at 8 o'clock:
