WAR AWAITS
JULY DATE

The allies, while still determined
that the Turkish nationalists shall not
get possession Of Constantinople, have
now requested, or ordered, the Greeks
TO defer their offensive against Ke-
mails forces until an attempt has been
made to mediate between the two ma
lions. King Constantine, it is said,
consented to wait until some time in
July. Lord Curzon, Premier BRAND
and representatives of Italy arranged
for this postponement and promised
that If Greece were amenable the three
big powers would lift the financial EN-
barge and permit Greece to arrange
it's fiscal affairs. The French under
took to persuade Renal Pasha to make
concessions leading to an amicable
settlement.

CURRENT EVENTS
Government Is Trying to Solve
the Mystery Of the Twenty
Missing Ships.
MAY Be WORK OF PIRATES
Admiral Sims, Homo, Tells Secretary
DENLY He Was Msquoted-BritaIn
Determined to Crush Irish Re-
voIt--Dawee Made DIrec-
tor of National Budget.

BY EDWARD w. PicKARD.

The interest Of the world was excit-
ed and Its imagination stimulated last
week by the remarkable story of the
20 lost merchant ships, the mystery of
whose disappearance our government
is trying to solve. Not since the days
Of the German U-boats has there been
any such a series Of maritime disas-
tiers, nor was there any such before
the war A number Of these 90 ves-
sells which have disappeared within a
few months were American or sailing
from American ports. The most mys-
tifying of the instances was that OF the
American schooner Carroll A. Deering,
which ran ashore off the North Caro-
lima coast last January with all sails
set and every member of the crew
missing, as were its small boats. More
than two months later the following
message In a bottle was picked up
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deering captured by oil-burning
boat, something like chaser; taking off
everything, Handwriting crew. Grew
hiding all over ship. No chance to
make escape. Finder please notify
headquarters of Deering."
Naturally the favorite theory con-
corning these events Is that q pirate
craft Is operating in the Atlantic. Rear
Admiral Mutton, commandant Of the
Philadelphia navy yard inclines to this
view. He says:
ut would be possible for an outlaw
craft to run wild for a short time, and
1t could do considerable damage to
was or is operating with forged ships
papers. 1t is always necessary, when
a ship enters a port, to have its papers
examined, and this craft could operate
for a short time with forged papers,
but in the end it would disclose its
identity.
at is true, also, that by stripping
vessels of provisions and fuel the out
law could continue operations a long
time, but eventually 1t would have to
put into some port for repairs. Machin-
cry, you know, cannot run forever
without being overhauled and repaired.
''If such a craft is operating it will
have to return to port at some time,
and when 1t does, assume there will
be interesting developments"
Another theory is based upon the
fact that about year and a half ago
the New York police seized documents
which revealed plot which the Uni
ted Russian Workers of the United
States and Canada were forming to
got thair nomhprs m Russia Those
members who were out of work were
being instructed to ship on vessels In
sufficient numbers to seize the vessels
at sea and steer them into soviet Rus
sian ports.
The Departments of State and Com
merce, however, hold to the plain pi-
rate theory and a worldwide lookout
for the missing ships and their crews
has been ordered.

Three anchored submarines were
destroyed by the United States forces
last week-but the layman will not
easily perceive the value of the exploit,
except that 1t proved our aerial bomb
ers and destroyer gunners are pretty
good marksmen, at least when the tar
get is stationary and helpless. The
first test was made by a bombing
squadron of the air forces, and the
submarine was speedily sunk. Then a
bunch of destroyers charged on two
U-boats, at full speed, and filled them
full of shells in quick time. Other
tests are to follow. OF course, the tar
gets were submarines that once be-
longed to Germany.
