King Constantine Says i. S. Loan
Would Not Be Used for the War

by foreign powers against my own
wish as ruler of the people.
He observed that the credit would
be useful to Greece in covering a
large part of he country's outstand-
ing paper currency.
King Constantine laughed at the re-
port that he was going to Constanti-
nople incognito, saying: Yes. sup
pose they have me going many places,
but my present duty is to remain near
the army"
Asked If the army would go to Con :
stantinople, he replied that it would
be folly to take such a step n II
meant war against the allies. How
ever he added, the whole question ap-
peared to be one for diplomacy 10
settle.
With regard to the Greek govern
ment's intention respecting the area
taken by the Greek army, the KING
said many of his officers had urged
annexation. but he felt that the ques,
tion depended upon circumstances ana
future developments. He declared
that the struggle with the kema iists
was to the death. as the Turks had
treated the captured Greeks in ter
rible manner and had so infuriated
the Greek soldiers that they were de-
termined to show the enemy no quar-
ter.

REGARDS VENTILATION
AS DISEASE PREVENTIVE
Health Officer Fowler Instructs
Medical Inspectors to Closely
Watch Public Schools.

Believing that proper ventilation is an
effective preventive of disease among
school children. Health Officer Fowler
has instructed his medical inspectors to
keep close watch on the public school
buildings during the school year.
DIR. Fowler said he is confident the
teachers already are aware of the value
of ventilation in the class rooms. He is
desirous, however. of having the in
spectors cooperate with the school Of
fcials in regulating the windows of the
school buildings.
Regulation of window shades SO that
adequate light will be admitted to the
classrooms also has been called to the
attention of the inspectors.
Sanitary conditions in the lavatories
Of school buildings likewise will be
scrutinIzed by the health inspectors.
1t is known that the health officer re-
CARDS The present staff of twelve medical
inspectors and four dental inspectors as
inadequate to properly supervise the
schools, considering their constantly in

NAVY YARD TO SEEK
AID AT THE CAPITOL
Employees Disappointed That
Cabinet Failed to Con-
slider Wage Case.

Failure of the cabinet to give consid
Grafton to the navy yard wage award
at it's session yesterday afternoon
caused keen disappointment among the
1000 employees of the Washington
navy yard. The navy. yard workers,
through the Columbia Lodge, No. ia,
international Association of Ma
chiniSst, however will not abandon
their campaign to have the wage case
reopened and today centered their ac-
tivities at the Capitol with a view to
having Congress take some remedial
action on the reductions of pay for
men at the yard.
When informed that the cabinet did
not consider the claims of the navy
yard employees. Herbert p. Leeman,
president of Columbia Lodge, issued
the following statement:
Hoped Cabinet Would Aid.
II am keenly disappointed at the
failure of the cabinet to give con-
slderation to our case. In view of the
many petitions, resolutions and tele-
grams which have been sent to Presi-
dent Harding and members of the
cabinet. protesting against the unfair
wage reduction. 1 had hoped that the
matter would be given the attention
which its Importance and effect war
rant.
SOluiHDld lJOupe, NO. =, IHteTnd-
tional Association of Machinists, for
more than thirty years has co-operat-
ed with the Navy Department and Of
ficers of the navy yard in making the
Washington naval gun factory one of
the finest and most efficient eStab-
lishments in the country.
by reducing the artisans salary to
the point where they can no longer
provide their families with the neces-
stiles of life, the Navy Department has
destroyed the morale of the plant and
Is causing men who have spent years
in learning the art Of gun and torpedo
making to seek employment in private
establishments.
Living Standard Cut.
I'VE believe that it is in the interest
of the government to maintain this
plant in high state of efficiency and
to pay the employees at least living
wage. The new scale of wages re-
duces their standard of living 35 per
cent below the pre-war standard, ac-
cording to the statistics of the Labor
Department. This fact is admitted by
the Navy Department general wage
board in it's report to the Secretary of
the Navy.
The people of the United States do
not want economy practiced in this
this fact by the many letters and tele
grams l have received from bankers.
: business men and merchants who
have familiarized themselves with the
facts about this reduction"

LIVERPOOL, September 2O.-Ber-
nard Won Hoffman and j. G. Mckib-

rived in Liverpool tonight with a
thrilling story Of how their balloon,
the City of St. Louis, fell into the
Irish sea Monday evening, and of
their rescue by a passing vessel.
Won Hoffman was the pilot of the
balloon and Mr. Mckibben the pas
senger. They said that at 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon they were over the
water, within five miles of the Irish
coast. but that owing to the fall of
wind they were unable to land and
therefore drifted northward, with only
four bags of ballast left. An hour
later they sighted two ships. but
failed. to obtain assistance from either
of them.
Then" said Won Hoffman, with
only two bags of ballast remaining.
we found ourselves in a very serious
predicament. We cut away our drag
rope in pieces and also disposed of
our spare clothing and instruments.
Then we slowly sank toward the
water.
Knocked Into Water.
Our cases seemed hopeless. but
at 9:45 o'clock in the evening we
sighted another vessel. We imme
diately dropped overheard a Holmes
light. and, seein@ it was our only
chance, we bowt> the balloon down
to the waves"
The captain of the ship lowered
a boat, but when we reached the
sea McKibben was struck on the
head by a lead ring and knocked
off the basket into the water

ARMY OFFICERS WARNED.

A recent investigation disclosed
that certain officers at an Army sta
ton used War Department material
for the manufacture of articles for
their own personal use. AS result,

all officers of the Army 1.-The neces-
sity for. the exercise of the utmost
