Unsettled
WANAMAKER'S
But Only -Four Days to DO the
Choosing

We have no furniture in this sale now of a quality
any different from the furniture we have had all
along. All of it is Wanamaker furniture of standard
quality.
The only difference between what the Sale was
three weeks ago and what it is today is in the prices.
All the single sets and pieces are now marked at
half price, and there are thousands of such things to
be disposed of during these remaining days of the
Sale-and every day will find new lots added.
The variety comprises pieces from every division
of our regular stocks. There are scores and scores
of chiffoniers and chifforobes, toilet tables, beds,
somnoes and night stands.
Serving tables, china closets, individual chairs
for bedrooms, dining rooms, halls, libraries and living
rooms.
1t is as if some good class, moderately sized
furniture store should offer you a choice of its entire
floor samples at half the lowest prices for which the
goods can be regularly sold. The only difference is
that these oddments at half price are shown along
with our regular matched-up stocks, which still
afford splendid choice at savings of 10 to SO per cent.
A most remarkable feature of the collection at
half price is the tremendous selection of desirable
things at the figures so many homekeepers naturally
think of paying. In serving tables there are sixteen
different kinds between S11.5O and $28.
There are twenty-three different kinds of beds
between 500 and 800.
There are twenty-five different kinds of china
closets at $3.50 to $50.
Bear in mind that all these prices are half the
regular rates. Of course, price ranges and number
of pieces will vary from day to day, according as
pieces are sold and others added.
But the thing to keep in mind above all others
is that the time for taking advantage of these oppor-
tunities is short-only tomorrow and three more days
of the sale now remaining.

BURLESON FATE
up TO WILSON

As the "Burleson situation" stands.
it is President Wilson's next move.
Democratic leaders who are attach
ing great Importance to the Post
master Generals cablegram to the
President expressing a Willingness
to efface himself from the political
arena by surrendering his Cabinet
position. are expecting action by the
White House.
Democratic leaders. labor repre-
sentatives and others in influential
positions are bringing tremendous
pressure to bear on the President
to induce him to accept BurIeson's
own suggested solution of the trou-
bles resulting from the fire directed
at the Postmaster Generals once.
In the light Of Burleson's state
ment yesterday derying that he had
resigned. the question has been
raised as to whether a suggestion OF
willingness to resign is an act OF
self sacrifice or is not tantamount
to a resignation.
1t Is believed that the Presidents
decision will follow quickly on his
conference with his political advls-
ers.

Paris. July s.--"ofhciaa Greece will
heartily welcome acceptance by the
United States OF the mandatory over

said in the nrst interview he has
granted regarding solution Of the
Near East problem since the peace
conferences, decided to ask America
to assume the mandatory.
when I say oficial Greece will
welcome the American mandatory" /"
the Greek premier continued, 81
speak on behalf Of the people most
directly interested in CONSTANT
nople's future. Greece will have
nearly three-ouarters of a million
co-nationais within the environs of
the new state. These are of pure
Greek descent. Thus. nearly one
tenth of the Greek race. which un-
fortunately is located outside the
frontiers of its national state, would
be able to live in security under the
American flag"
Venizelos said he considered the
most equitable solution would be
the union of constantinople with
Greece. but in any event 1t was most
important that q definite decision
be reached now.
''Constantinople always has been
the keynote of the Near Eastern
problem" he declared. Its mixed
populations cannot hope to live in
peace and security until the question
has been settled once and for all.

MEN URGE
PRICE CHANCES

Victor H. Murdock, acting chair
man OF the Federal Trade Commis-
sion, announced yesterday that the
commission would undertake a thor
.ough and searching examination into
the whole subject involved in the
present method OF fixing steel manu-
featuring prices on Pittsburgh quo
tations as the base.
This decision was made after a
hearing given to John s. Miller and
II. A. Wagner. representing Chicago
and other Middle-Western steel in
dustries, who complained that the
Pittsburgh base method subjects them
to unfair competition. and who urged
that Chicago also be made a price
basing point.
Judge Ebert H. Gary. chairman OF
the board OF directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, and presi-
dent of the American Steel Institute.
who participated In the conference,
strongly advocated the threshing out
of the question. Judge Gary said
that he thought IL advisable that the
problem be overhauied and settled
once for all by a disinterested party

BARRED
TO PRESIDENTS

A bill prohibiting Presidents Of the
United States from leaving the coun-
try during their terms OF office was
introduced yesterday in the House by
Representative Campbell. The bill
provides that 1t shall be unlawful for
the President to transact executive
business at any place other than
Washington.
In connection with this measure.
Campbell issued a statement asserting
that President Wilson. in his foreign
trips, had been "beguiled by artful
diplomats and international states
men by fiattery." and that he had
lost his own prestige and that OF
his country"
The United States Is unpopular
abroad. because of President Wilson's
visits, Campbell's statement asserted.
He also attacked the league of ma
ttons.
