covered from the early sctbacks sur
fered at the hands of the Turks in
Asia Minor and is looking forward
with confidence to the new offensive
which probably will be begun soon.
The army has been consolidated and

1t is believed n considerable move
meut from Ushak toward kutai. with
Eshi- -Shehr, where the Greeks re-
tho objective, will be undertaken in a
few days.
The caiing Of three additional
classes to the colors has been post
poncd. probably due to lack of proper
equipment. King Constantine holds
daily wlr councils with his command
ing generals and Is taking an active
part in directing the operation of the
Greek army from Athens.
Three thousand wounded Greeks
hav. arrived In Athens and 1000 in
saloniki. More nurses are needed
urgently.
Tho recent loan to tho government
by tho national bank has stabilized
business and tho money market. Tho

moro than fifteen to tho dollar.
American commercial firms arc
finding virtually no market for their

railroad problem in it's relation to ag-
riculture and industry was again the
foremost subject OF discussion at to-
days meeting OF President Harding

of the seriousness OF the sitiation
were surveyed in detail. but there was
no decision either as to an admnis-
tration policy or as to the plan OF
action in dealing with the various in
tercsts involved. I; was indicated
that n general conference of railway
managers, employees and shippers
still was a possibility.
From the first the administration
has been reluctant to go over ths
head of tho constituted government
agencies created to deal with wage
and rate problems. and. 1t Ia under
stood. officials here still hope for
solution thru those avenues.
Reports of conditions laid before tho
cabinet today indicated that tho
transportation problem not only was
seriously affecting agricultural inter-
ests but was greatly handicapping In
dustry in general. High freight rates
on such basic products rs food and
coal. 1T is said, were cutting down
production in almost every business
and manufacturing establishment. and
there were suggestions in any deci-
sions on rates this situation must be
recognized by diffcrcntials favorins
