(By Associated Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE. July q - II
was learned today through French
sources here that scattered firing in
Adrianople. where the Greeks and
Turks have clashed, actually began
July 10, artillery and machine guns
commencing the attack In which in
fantry later participated.
The civil population, according to
the Turkish war office, has been evac-
uated from Adrianople. The Greek
high commission here has received ad-
vices that the fighting is continuing
because OF Greek preparations to oc-
cupy eastern Thrace. The French
have charge of communications in Ad-
rianople and consequently their ad-
vices generally are credited here.
A Bulgarian airplane was shot
down Sunday near Adrianople and the
pilot admitted he was flying to the
aid of Colonel Eafar Tayar, the Turk
ish commandant at Adrianople. The
number of Bulgarian irregulars pre-
pared to assist the Turks against the
Greeks is estimated at thousands,
most of the irregulars being already
in Turkey.

IMMIGRATION STATION
FLOODED BY ITALIANS
RATE OF 1000 A DAY
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 81. - Hoffman
Island, detention station of the New
York quarantine service now has an
average transient population Of more
than 1000 a day due to the inbound
rush Of Italian immigrants.
In addition, the five doctors attached
to the station have given up all
thoughts Of vacation and are working,
one of the quarantine officials said, to
the limits Of human endurance In vac
cinating. fumigating and inspecting
prospective citizens and their families.
The reason for the unusual call for
the services of Hoffman Island is said
to be a misunderstanding on the part
Of Italian officials and steamship COM
panies respecting United States pub
lie health regulations. Travellers from
districts where typhus and other trans
mittable diseases prevail are supposed
to be "deloused," examined and GER
tilted as clean" by American public
health officers before they board the
ship.
These regulations are not being com
piled with, officials here claim and
therefore the delousing and fumigat
ing must be done before the traveller
is landed. The expense of the work
here is charged to the steamship com
panies.
During the last week more than a
half dozen ships have arrived from
ports where typhus carrying suspects
could be taken on board.

To Meet Fuel Demands
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Bitumin-
GUS coal operators were warned today
by ]. D. A. Morrow, vice president of
the National Coal Association, that
their failure to meet the urgent fuel
needs of the country at this time
would mean continuous government
control of the industry. Mr.. Morrow
urged immediate increased products
and cooperation with the interstate
commerce commission in getting coal

and upper New York.
THE coal industry IS at cross
roads," Mr.. Morrow's statement said.
1T will either go forward along the
splendid pathway of individual enter
prise and initiative or it will find it.
self treading the rocky pathway Of
everlasting governmental regulation
and control. The ability of private
enterprises in this business and pri-
vate enterprise in the Management of
railways is faced with a test of Its
sufficiency."
Mr. Morrow cites statistics to show
that the Northwest Is short 100000
tons of coal ordinarily shipped to it
via the great lakes and added that
New England and New York state
points also were short on shipments.
He referred at length to the plan for
filing the deficiency, which the inter
state commerce commission accepted
yesterday, and which gives priority In
car supply and car movement to coal
destined for these points.

navel blimp Clio which has been OBJ

newspaper men aboard escaped with
no worse than ducking.
The ship was about 1000 feet up,
when the race started, and a few min
utes later developed leak in the gas
bag which compelled her commander,
Lieut.. A. w. Evans, to head back for
the air station under full power and
with ballast going over the side in an
effort to force the big gas bag higher
into the air. He had reached three
thousand feet as the air station came
in sight but began to drop swiftly with
the noise of the bag collapsing.
Evans ordered the ship headed for
Jamaica Bay, not daring to attempt
a landing ashore. He also ordered the
radio equipment and batteries and
everything else thrown overheard.
The airship continued to sink rapidly
nose downward. AS the car struck
the water about 200 above Barren
Island, across the bay from the air
station, it sunk it's nose into the water
and drenched those overheard but
stayed afoat and drifted ashore with
out injury to the crew or passengers.
A rescue crew from the station was

No Badgers" in America
SAYS English Scientist
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, July Pr. I. Pocock,
curator of mammals to the London
Geological society, has discovered
what he says is great hoax upon the
Americans who for more than 400
years have believed they had badgers
on their continent"
An American badger, brought here
to make an instructive comparison"
was put in a cage with some British
badgers. The British badgers slept all
day. the American badger all night.
DR.. Pocock investigated and decided
the American animal was neither bad
ger, skunk, stoat, nor weasel. He said
its skull and teeth were wrong for
badger. it lacked the scent gland,
and its resemblance to the badger was
so superficial he considered it Of a
totally different tribe.

without any glasses and my eyes do
not water any more. At night they
would pain dreadfully; now they feel
