Occupants of Cars
Uninjured in Crash
Sunday at Riverside

An auto accident occurred about
o'clock Sunday morning about a
mile and a half above Riverside, near
the farm of p. r. Brown. Two cars, a
Chalmers No. 6S-62S and a Ford No.
o7-135 collidcd with a crash which
awoke people in the Brown house but
as far as can be ascertained no one
was hurt. The occupants Of the cars
did not ask for help and no one knows
who they were or the cause Of the
accident. The Ford which was one
Of the rebuilt sport variety was
badly damaged, in fact it was said
that the only part of it that was not
damaged was the engine.
The Chalmers came off better in the
mix-up, the front wheel being dam
aged and the mud guard broken. This
was apparently the only damage to
the car. Two men came to look at the
car Sunday and they said that no one
was injured but it was not ascortaincd
who they were.
Because of the fact that the list Of
licenses, issued monthly is not com i
plete to these numbers it was impos-
sible to find out in whose name the
cars are registered.

ALLIES INFORMED
GREECE TO OCCUPY
C0NSTANTIN0PLE

Athens, July 30.-(By A. PA
note to the Greek government to tho
Allies respecting tho intentions of
Greece in Asia Minor emphasizes the
view that the occupation Of Constan-
tinople is the only means of bringing
about peace and says Greece has
made arrangements with that pur-
pose in view.
The note hess the Allie s to ISSUE
the necessary orders to the army of
Brigadier General Sir Charles Har-
inet0n, commander of the Allied
forces in Constantinople, and SAYS
it is confident difficulties Will not be
ho imposed in the way Of Greece.
The note adds that by the ncutrali-
cation of Constantinople the Allies
are protecting, instead of coercing
Turkey, and thus depriving Greece of
means for imposing peace.
The Turkish atrocities, tho note
continues. make it vital for Greece 10
adopt more energetic measures
against tho Turks, but that tho Creek
government is willing to discuss the
matter with the Allies.
General Harngton's declaration
that he will oppose 10y force any move
toward Constantinople has caused
deep Encouragement and disappojnt
mcnt in Greece. as the n"Wspaf ers
had been leading the people to be-
licVc Greek occupation of Consta nti-
noplc would not he resisted by the
Allies.
There was three hour session of
the cabinet on Saturday. At its con-
clusion the government handed a
supplementary note to the Allied dip
lOmats. The contents of this note
have not been disclosed.
An announcement that the Greek
government is preparing to extend
the war against the Turks beyond
the already extensive borders caused
intense excitement on the Bourse and
further aggravation of Grecccs fin
ancial and comomrcial crisis. The
dracAma fell today to nearly fifty
TO the dollar.
The Greek army of 300, 900 men in
Asia Minor, Macedonia, and Thrace
is costing 100000 monthly. 1t is
realized that this expenditure cannot
be kept up Indefinitely in the present
parlous state of the treasury. The
remittanccs of 50,000,000 from
Greeks in America during the last
year have been of immense assist
ance to the government. The Greeks
are stiIl hopeful that the American
government may release the balance
of the $4,000, 900 credits established
during the regime of Premier Ncni-
zelos This balance amounts to
$4,000, 900.
Tie steadily increasing cost of
living. the continued calling TO the
colors Of bread winners of families
and the failure of the government
TO secure financial assistance abroad
are causing disconsolation among
the population generally, who are war
weary after ten years OF almost con-
tinuous strife. The feeling seems to
prevail. however, that the govern
ment has been driven to desperate
rXpedient, and a majority of the peo-
pie apparently are disposed loyalty
TO support it.
