ATHENS, May 15-One of the
greatest events in modern Grecian
history occurred yesterday when mill
tary and naval forces occupied por-
ton of the coast Of Asia Minor. This
was a realization Of Greece's dreams
OF five centuries.
Permission for the occupation was
given by the peace conference on re-
quest of Premier Venizelos, following
official confirmation that the TURKS
were stirring up trouble in Asia Minor.
An entire division of Greek troops
was landed at Smyrna and occupied
the territory on either side. including
Avail, 100 miles to the northward, and
Vourla, forty miles to the southward.
The troop ships which sailed from
Cavalla On Tuesday were escorted by
two battleships and four cruisers. One
OF the battleships was the kilkis. for
merly the American battleship Idaho,
sold to Greece in 1914.
The landing was attended by con-
siderable ceremony, as yesterday was
one of Greece's principal holidays,
known as Roses day The occupied
territory is populated almost wholly
by Greeks.

Athens yesterday reported arrival OF

WE ARE IN OFFICE, WILL
STICK, N0SKE DECLARES
Duty to Save German People, Min
lister of Defense Tells So
>- cialists' Meeting.

WEIMAR, June IL (by the Assoc
ciated Press).-"We are still in office
and we will stick. because it is our
duty to save the German people" Gus
tave Noske. the minister of defense.
declared at the meeting today of the
majority socialist party.
The minister's declaration was in
answer to the criticisms of radical
members who are attempting to force
Noske and Premier Scheidemann from
the executive committee of the party.
Herr Scheidemann decided at the last
moment to postpone his speech of de-
Tense until tomorrow. A number Of
socialist members of the cabinet were
present at the meeting.
Herr Noske. taking up the charges
against him, defended himself in his
usual violent manner of speaking. He
said that he knew when he accepted
his present post that he had a sorry
task, which would gain him criticism.
The minister. who is called by his
enemies ''the bloodhound of the revo-
luton" declared that his troops had
saved Germany from chaos. He IN
sisted that the troops which he sent
to help suppress disorders in Munich
and Leipzig were dispatched at the
request of the Bavarian and Saxon
governments and not on his initiative !;
The minister concluded with thu
sensational announcement that the
SchuetZen division. some of the ON:
GERS of which were implicated in the
deaths of the Spartacan Liebknecht,
has been disloyal in having dealings
with the independent socialists.
Although the national assembly has
been called to meet here tomorrow, it
is not likely to sit formally until FRI
day or Saturday. Its prime purpose
is the discussion and study of the
allied answer to the German counter

FARM-TO.TADlE PLAN TRANSFER PLEA DENIED
Post Office Trucks Will Bring

Workers.

Eighteen hundred war workers resfd-
ing in the government hotel on Union
station plaza are to be fed fresh country
produce brought in daily from nearby
farms by Post ONCE Department motor
trucks.
Following conferences between James
n. Weaver, manager of the hotel; John
c. McGrath. who worked out the CO.
operative buying plan for Park View,
and Post Office Department officials, an
nouncement was made today that the
motor truck service will be utilized by
the hotel, beginning next week.
Charles s. Myers, route agent OF the
department, has been detailed to give
his entire time for the next two
weeks to opening up sources of food
supply for the benefit of the war
workers.
It is believed that adoption of the
farm-to-table plan not only will make
possible the providing of the war
workers with food of the best quail
ity obtainable. but that 1t will enable
the government dormitories to OPP
crate at saving of thousands of dol
lars annually.
The plan is to be worked out on a
big scale by all community centers
this fall, 1t is stated.

HOSPITAL BLOCKED
BY SOLDIERS HOME
Officials of Institution Are o.
posed to Project, But
Money Is Ready.

Officials of the Soldiers Home are
opposed to the construction on it's
grounds of hospital for the benefit
of service men. patients of the war
risk insurance and all government
employees injured in the line of duty,
it was authoritatively learned today
A site on the big grounds of the
home was sought by the Treasury De-
partment for the construction of such
a hospital. Under the terms of the
soldiers, hospital act of March 3, 1919,
Congress provided $550,06O for such
a purpose, with the stipulation that
the site must be government owned.
Refusal by the Soldiers Home Of
fcials to sanction such an institution
on It's property has placed the Treas
ury Department in a quandary as to
just what to do under the circum-
stances, since the money has been
appropriated and the department is
anxious to go ahead with the work.
Hospital facilities, such as are pro-
vided for In the act. are needed for
Washington and vicinity.
Treasury officials, however, are
looking elsewhere and hope to be
able to find a good location. 1t is
pointed out that suitable sites are few
in number.
