Generals Official Report.
General PapOulas, commander-in-
chief Of the Greek forces, in his Off
cial communication ON the military
situation on October 8, says:
''The great battle begun September
80 in the region of Aflun-Karahissar
ended with a brilliant victory for our
troops. The enemy, after the return
of our army to their positions on the
front of Eski- Shehr-Aflun-Kar
attempted a surprise attack. He had
10 hxy no orr 1h0p n
conditions which did not permit of
reconnaissance by airplanes.
"The principal enemy forces we're
concentrated in the region east, north
east and southeast of KarahisSar. The
enemy sought by communicates to
cause error on the part of the general
staff These announced that only cav
airy, with several detachments of in
fantry was operating on this part of
the front.
Turkish Losses Heavy.
sour troops took the offensive from
attacked, to adopt a defensive atti-
tude. The battle continued under
these conditions.
'"The enemy, who continually re-
ceived re-enforcements, did not cease
to lose ground until outflanked to the
north by large forces of our army and
fell back along the whole line in dis
order in an easterly and southeasterly
direction, pursued by our troops.
"The enemy's losses were very
heavy, though it is not possible to
estimate them exactly. Our losses
were relatively small.
Statements by prisoners show that
the enemy forces which took part in
the battle included ten divisions of in
fantry. three divisions of cavalry and
two brigades of artillery"

Election Ruling.

Chicago, Oct. IL. = The United
States railroad labor board ordered
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
to appear on October 20 and show
cause why it should not be held to
have violated the order of the board
directing new election of employees
committees on the Pennsylvania lines.
The case is the first in which a rail

hold a new election, after the board
had held the company had exercised
unwarranted jurisdiction in excluding
the votes of certain men. The road
declined to obey the boards instruc-
tons.

EINSTEIN SAYS
BOTH TIME AND
SPACE WILL END
EXPLANATION of The
ory Battles Re
porfers.

New York, April 4. - Professor
Albert Einstein, originator Of the
conception, in his theory of rela-
tivity," that the universe and space
are limited and that both space and
time will finally disappear, gave 4
dozen newspaper reporters here vir-
tual "brainstorms" in their efforts
to follow his explanations and de-
ductions.
They gathered, however, that the
professor does not claim that he is
infallible, but that two facts so far
bear out his deductions. They are
the irregularities of the movements
of the planet Mercury, and the fact,
since proved by British scientists,
he said, that light is deviated when
passing by a planetary body like
the sun or a large planet
The professor explained that he
did not understand the reason for
the widespread public interest IN
his deductions.
"The practical man does not need
to worry about it," he said. From
the philosophical aspect, however,
it has importance as it alters the
conception of time and space which
are necessary to philosophical spec
ulations and conceptions.
"Just as a joke, however, he add
ed, land not to be taken too liter
ally, it has this effect ON any
thought of the universe. Up to this
time the conceptions of time and
space have been such that if every
thing in the universe were taken
away, if there was nothing left,
there would still be left to man,
time and space.
But even under this theory even
time and space would cease to ex-
list because they are inseparably
bound up with the matter concep-
ton"
That was about all the professor
would add to make the poor re-
porters' heads swim, and as one
scratched his head and asked:
What is this here Einstein the
ory anyway"
The professor laughed and said
1T don't matter much, anyway,

EMPLOYERS IN
DIVIDED Stand
Closed Shop Division Of United
Typothetae on Accepting Rule
, of Convention.

Chicago, April 4.-Employing
printers of the closed shop divi-
sion of the United Typothetae of
America took a divided stand to-
day on how far employers we're
bound by this divisions convention
in New York in September. 1919,
accepting the 44-hour week. The
controversy over the shorter week,
scheduled to be effective May l,
1921, has been taken under consid-
Grafton by the international joint
conference council Of the printing
trade, to be taken up again in New
York on June q.
Following a referendum vote in
favor of the 44-hour week by the
FIVE unions of the printing industry,
the action was accepted by con-
vention Of the closed shop division
in New York in September, 1919,
according to George H. Gardiner OF
Cleveland, Ohio. Considerable OBJ
lection from many employers has
since been raised, Harris Hatch OF
Philadelphia, an employers repre-
sentative on the council, said.
Reputation OF the convention
had placed the council employers
representative in a most embar-
RAISING position" Mr.. Hatch said.
Speaking for unorganized en-
ployers at the Saturday confer
ence, Edward A. Brewster Of Jo-
liet, ILL.,, pointed out that the clos
ed shop division had only approx
mately 600 members OF the 16W
closed shops represented in thf
Typothetae He also pointed ou
that but 5000 shops of the coun'
try's $4,000 were represented in the
Typothetae organization.
At the councils meeting Satur
day William Green Of New Yorl
expressed the opinion that thos'
employers who accepted the "A
hour week at the 1919 convention
should put it into effect, declaring
that he and other New York EN-
ployers felt obligated to do 80 b!
the conventions action.
Several other nnorganized EN-
ployers spoke strongly against th'
proposed 4-hour reduction at Sat
urday's meeting.

ference on Saturday night. April 2
