GERMAN INTRIGUES in GREECE
ARE EXPOSED BY DEMETRA VAKA
Noted Woman Author Tells Fashionable Audience in
Ritz-Carlton Hotel How Plans of Allies Were
Frustrated by Agents of Kaiser
GERMAN intrigue in Greece and how

EERMAN intrigue in Greece and how
VI all plans to bring former King Con-
stantine and Premier Venizelos together
in support OF the Allies were frustrated
by the Kalser's agents were explained
this morning by Dematra Naka (Mrs.
Kenneth Brown), the author to
big audience In the Ritz-Carltou Hotel.
Born in Greece and raised to young
womanhood in Athens. Mrs. Brown jour-
neyed to her native land from France
early last year. she had many inter-
views with King Constantine and the
Premier. but failed in her efforts TO
bring them together. She did, however,
obtain much first-hand Information con-
cerning the workings of German prop
agandists, and this she told partly to-
day
In Greece, Mrs Brown said, the Ger
man propagandsts circulated reports
that America would never enter the war.
They told the Grccian people that every
ninth person in the United states was
n German who could be depended upon
TO keep America from Joining the Allies.
Due to this propaganda, she said,
Greece is now benevolent neutrar'
nation. She intimated. however, that
with venizelos now In control of the
Greek Government, an army numbering
fitted to join the Allied armies.
She also talked at length OF France
she has visited there twice In the last
year-of which she knows much. Not
withstanding the fact that France has
borne the brunt OF the conflict for forty
odd months, she is by no means "bled
white" Mrs. Brown said. The delight
of the French people on learning of the
entry Of the United states into the
world war also formed part of her theme.
France will stand this shock" she
said, "as she has stood the many shocks
which have preceded II. including Ver-
dun. The spirit of the French
people was simply superb when /
was there last summer. on our
way 20 Greece. in the early part OF the
year, there was some depression, due
\ largely to German propaganda And,
| sad to relate, much of this propaganda
originated in our own United States.
| Because of our liberal passport system
scores of German Americans, Swedish
Americans and even Norwegian Ameri-
cans got into France and carried on n
widespread propaganda. Among other
things they told the people that the
United States would never come to their
aid and that England was simply using
France as shield to protect herself.
Having faced two years or more OF war
with little or no aid. this propaganda
had the effect of causing depression
among certain classes. But all was
changed when we returned from Athens
In the summer. The English had given
the lie to the German propagandists
and sent over hundreds of thousand
and America had gone In.
THE French people hailed the entry
of America with almost childish delight.
We helped the United States once.

Weavers Buster Than Ever,
but Civilian Needs Are
Set Aside

Belfast, March 26.--The linen industry
Is at present passing through n critical
stage. The scarcity Of fax and the
high cost of the fiber, with the conse-

Oh driving linen largely out of the

articles and the substitution of compet-

On the other hand, the enormous de.
mand for airplane linen. not only for
British airplanes. but also for American,
French and Italian machines, is keeping
those linen mills Of Ulster, which are
adapted for weaving this class of ma
terial, working at high pressure, and
the factories In Belfast and district are
producing millions of yards of this cloth.

The chief difficulty confronting the

upon the war zone has emphasized the
need Of insuring that as large portion
as possible of the fax required should
be produced within the United Kingdom
or its dominions. Russia was the main
source of supply for fax, but the chaotic
developments In that country have
awakened the responsible departments
to the necessity of making sure that
the needs of the empire shall have first
call upon all raw material. Conse-
quently, the Government early In the
present year prohibited. except under
permit. any treatment of fax. fax line
or fax tow. while recently they have
prohibited the export of linen tissues.
The object of this latter order Is not
quite clear, for there are many forms
of linen tissues. such as material for
handkerchiefs. sheets and other domestic
articles. which could scarcely be adapted
to national purposes: but the Govern
ment, while wishing to conserve the sup
ply Of fax. is. 1t Is contended, in
Producing unnecessary and perplexing
problems for the linen manufacturers,
who are already doing all in their power
to meet the demands for national pur-
poses.
