AMERICANS FORCED INTO
THE GREEK ARMY

American citizens are being i'm
pressed into the Greek army by
agents of the Athens government and
George Horton, United States con
sui here, has made vigorous protest
TO Governor General SteriaGHs
against the continuance of the prac-
tice. For many months past, Ameri-
cans, ,:.r m"r who served in th,
army in France, nave been taken
forcihly from their homes or from
vessels arriving from tho United
States and compe!ic. to join the
Greek forces.
There have been scores of such
cases in Athens, Smyrna, Patras and
Solonika and only those able to es-
cape and get into communication with
American consular officials have OBJ
tanned redress. In many instances
they have been stripped of their
clothing and their passports and
other papers have been confscated.
Whey they have protested, it is
charged that they have been hand
cutfed. thrown into jails and mis-
treated.
Consul General Horton declares
this action by the Greek authorities
is in fragrant violation of existing
agreements between the United
States and Greece, granting military
exemption to persons naturalized !,
American citizens prior to Februars
l, 1914 and those who, although
naturalized since that time, have
served with the Amrican army or
navy. One case is cited as typical
OF many. Private James Raftel of
New 4ory City, who was cited for
bravery in the Argonne campaign,
and who has been receiving a dis
ability allowance of $50 month
from the United States governme,I
was recently arrested by Greek
authorities at Mitylene. He came to
Greece as an American citizen to be
married, but was brought to SMYRNA
under guard. He escaped surveil-
ance and appealed to the American

ject to Wilt
w. II. Barton farm demonstration
agent for Richmond county, says in
the Rockingham Post-Dispatch:
Scores OF farmers have complained d
that CO." ':ss wilt, dor their leaves
or die before mature, and when roots
are examined. they are black and.
later, become rotten
This is caused by a disease known
as "wilt" or "black root The spores
OF this disease, once they get into a
soil, remain, and the only remedy is
to grow peas that have been bred to
resist this disease. The best known re-
sistant varieties are the Iron Pea and
the Brabhem Pea. These will resist
to the extent of 80 to 80 per cent. if
true to name. The only safe plan is to
buy these varieties from producers
that are in heavily infested districts.
Then you are sure of their resis-
tance; for if they were not resistant,
they could not have been produced
on such infested soil.
Even when vines are successfully
grown, it often occurs that little or
no seed mature. This is usually due
to the fact that the soil had only
sufficient acid phosphate and potash
to produce the vine alone. Hence the
shortage of pea seed.
Make profit by selling your peas
at 50 to $3.50 per bushel and get
velvet beans which can be bought
for about $1.SG delivered.

through this association make appli-
cation as soon as possible, as the ap-
praisers will be able to pass on all ap-
phcations on file whenever they reach
here Should app1ie.ktion be made af-
ter the appraiser leaves it would mean
a delay of about six weeks before he
could reach here again.

! how long this will be a fact as the
available funds will be limited to the
/ Farm Loans Bonds that are sold to
the public, and that should the in

mean a cessation of available runos
until another bond issue could bt

London, May 24.-Divorces are in
creasing at great here, and so, too
according to Judge Darling, are the
:" shyster methodist as they are some
times termed in America, whereby
some divorces are obtained. Judge
Darling is one Of the veterans Of the
bench who has recently had to tackle
divorce cases, in addition to his regu-
lar judicial work, in order to cope with
the growing demand for the untylng
of nuptial knots.
"We know perfectly well that an
enormous proportion Of the undefend-
ed cases in the divorce court are mere
I1v collusive,' said Judge Darling.
+" Men know as well as I do that those
letters my dear Billy, do return te
your loving Kitty are composed in
solicitors offices. Everybody knows

course he does.
''Judges who had retired are drag
ged back instead Of being able to en-
Joy their old age in comfort because
there are not enough judges to dea
with these cases. And what wonde
when people can come into the divorce
court and treat it in this fashion g.
