With Arrival of American Ma.
terial and Constructors Near
East Transportation Is
Somewhat Relieved.

Saloniki, June 2s.-With the
American railway material arriving
and American army engineers in the
Balkans there is now a prospect that
railway conditions in the Near East
may soon be bettered. Heretofore,
the work of building the thousands
of dynamited bridges and of repair
ing the hundreds of miles of twisted,
uptorn track in Serbia has pro-
crossed slowly.
Serbian railroad engineers have
been handicapped by lack of labor
and material. At present it is a
matter Of from 10 to IS days to cross
Serbia from Saloniki to Belgrade.
If one link of the motor truck SER
vice breaks down because of washed
out roads or floods carrying away
bridges the whole work of the Amer
lean Red Cross, the American food
famine commission and the Ser
bian relief fund workers is
held up and a through journey to
Belgrade or Saloniki across
country may require from IS days
to month.
American importers, however,
should not figure on transporting
freight overland through Serbia at
this time. Railroads probably will
rot be regularly running until
early in 1920. Belgrade is best
reached via Triest and Fiums rather
than from Saloniki,
American shippers will find the
harbors and docks at Piraeus
(Athens), in Greece. at Saloniki and
Constantinople crowded with
freight. Lighterage is difficult to
obtain. Conditions are better at
Constantinople than at Piraeus and
Saloaiki. At both these latter
ports the traffic snarl is almost in
a hopeless state.
AT Piraeus thousands of tons of
Newfoundland Goldfish which we're
rotting on the docks have been
trown into the ocean to make room
for more urgent freight. With the
Greek army still in the field there
is great shortage of labor
throughout Greece.

Gloweriing Excellenz
Faces Scribe Taking
Souvenir in Germany

London.-This is one of the very
secret stories of the late war. Such
story as the average correspondent
from the former American front
carries back home locked under the
third button of his vest in the belief
that nobody would publish it if he
had it. All Of which goes to show
that a poor garden variety Of war
correspondent who did not happen
to be with the A. E. F. may &C.
casionally put one across.
His first name is MAMMALIAN, and
at home he is widely known as a
writer Of fiction for popular maya
zines and exc as 4 dramatic writer,
for story of his was transformed
into a drama 4 year or so ago and
had run in New York. Aside from
his unquestioned talents as a spinner
of excellent yarns, Maximillians
faculty as a Souvenir bound" is the
only one appearing in this anecdote.
As a chaser of souvenirs Maximil-
liam is credited with batting in the
300 class by fellow correspondents
who were with him during the last
few months of the war. No Ger
man helmet was too battered to es-
cape Maximillian's eagle eye; moth
thing that had a string tied to it
which led to secret bomb daunted
him. The boy was there when it
came to accommodating mementoes
of this dreadful conflict.
He had only about two trunkfuls
of assorted junk, ranging from shell
cases to German "goulash canno-
men," when the armistice came
along and threatened to put an end
to the special writer's search for
the outer in the souvenir line. Then
by happy chance, he was counted
"in" on an automobile party that
reached Treves, in Germany terri
tory, quite bit ahead of the Amer
lean occupation. Here was the big
chance!
The auto conveying the American
correspondents drew up in the main
street of Treves, just behind very
handsome car from which a German
"excellenz" with all sorts of braid
on his grey coat, had stopped. The
German officer disappeared in
building nearby and the chauffeur,
being a spartacist, or something
like that wandered off to look for
drink of schnapps. Here was a
chance not to be overlooked by
Maximillian.

Scranton, Pa.-Patrolman Tracy
Miller proclaims himself the cham
pion egg eater in the United States.
This announcement was made after
he had eaten 4S eggs in "a hours.
Miller's feat was started when a
wager was made that he couldn't
eat "a in fifteen minutes. Miller
won this easily. A few hours later
another wager was made that he
could not duplicate the feat. At the
end of his days work he ate the "a
eggs and complained that he was
