Plans of GreeksFOr .
 EYaCuatiOnOf T|rac(
Are to Leave in Three Sec tions-Each Section to be Allowed Five Days to Evacuate.

Adr:aDopta, Oct 15-By the A p>-- The Greek military authorities have announced that the evacuation of the Greek army in Thrace will take place in three stages: first, in the Adriano- pie district: second. around Rodosto: and third, at the Maritza river. Five days will be allowed each section to eyacuate.
 The allied officers have been directed to refuse inhexibly any extension Of the five day period. The Greek troops will be responsible for the maintenance of order until the time of. their departure. The expectation was that the Greek civil authorities and gendarmerie after that date would maintain order; but in most of the districts the civil officials and the gendarmerie already are packing up and departing. Greek headquarters will remain at Rodoto until October 20. Afterwards it will be transferred to Dedeaghatch.
 One of the questions which arose today was concerning the telephone and telegraph wires and equipment, which the Greeks were dismantling for transfer to Greece They said they found the country denude of such means of communication when they entered and that therefore they purposed to leave it in the same state when they quit the territory Allied officials have filed a protest against the action of the Greeks, which has been referred to the Athens gov ernment
 The food situation in many places is serious owing to suspension of dis tribution.
 The Italiansfwi be the first of the allied attachments. to take over ad- 1 ministration in Thrace. They will be in charge at Tchcrlu at the end of the l first five-day period,

FEELING OF GREEK GOVT
 %4 ABOUT SIGNING ARMIsTlcE

Paris Oct. IS (By the A. P.)-The feeling of the Greek government and it's reservations in signing the Muda- mia compact are shown in an official communication received by the French foreign office today.
 The Greek government says the note, believing that the declaration made by- its delegates, especially that part of it concerning the delays neces- sary for the evacuation of the Christian population of eastern Thrace, should have been taken into consid- ation, desires to make last appeal to the humanitarian feeling of the allied powers in favor of those populations.
 However, being desirous of con forming itself to the decision of the allied powers, the Greek, government finds itself in the necessity of lowing before superior strength and adhcres to the armistice protocol signed al Mudania October H.
 No comment was made by the French foreign office concerning the Greek note. except to. say that no pressure has been brought to bear upon the Greek government to sign the armistice.'

NOTHING NEW IN nALL- :
 MILLS MURDER PROBE

New. Brunswick. N. J., Oct. .15.-The local authorities engaged in the investiga- tion of the month old staying of Rev. Ed ward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Rhinehart Mills were practically idle to- day. awaiting the order Of Supreme Court Justice Parker of Newark which will de- eide whether the case is to continue in. their hands or be put in charge of State Attorney General McCran.
 If Justice Parkcr's order, which is ex- pected tomorrow; places the investigation in the hands of the state authorities. the leads which have been uncovered by the three detectives from the state constabu- lary will be taken up by the state prose- cutor's men. g
 The investigation. of the state troopers has been largely independent of that be- ing conducted by the local authorities and far more secretive but one in which certain citizens of New Brunswick repose the greatest faith, Ij s. tH aty
 Noen of the trio of troopers was in town today, but they were said to be fol- lowing clues in other cities of the state. Their theory, in the main, is that the couple were not killed on the Somerset county farm where the bodies were found. They also attach importance to the clue, | first mentioned yesterday by County De- tective Totten, that when the bodies were discovered the rector's eyes had beez carefully closed while those gof Mrk Mills had been left open.
 The local authorities who .,have ex. pressed scept icism about the statement of Mrs. Hall that she had never heard any gossip regarding her husband and tho choir singer, are seeking an explanation it was said. of certain statements ap. bearing in the letters found with the bodies. In one of these letters, believed to have been written by Mrs. Mills. tn. statement occurred Charlotte talks"
 Countless tourists continue to visit auS inspect the Phillips farm. Automobiles O. every description and bearing the licens, plates of many eastern and a few fas western states have been seen recently or tho rustic lane which leads into the farm and. near which the bodies of Mir.

London, Oct. IS (By the A. P.)-Pre- mier Lloyd George returned U London today. He met with a hearty reception from crowds of admirers, and had a Ions conference with Winston Churchill, sec retary for the colonies.
 MT. Churchill. will be in charge of the Irish de5ste when parliament takes up the matter of ratification of the new Irish constitution. and as tEe necessity of securing ratification before December S makes this task weighty one in con nection with any possible early appeal to the country, it is assumed that ths whole subject was threshed over.
 The premicr's speech al Manchester Saturday leaves political circles com pletely at loss to prognosticAte the next political movement. It is general ly supposed that there will be an carly dissolution, although this supposition does not arise from anything the. pre- mier said at Manchester, but from a general review of all the factors in 1he existing situation, and. above all, to the conviction that the speeches of the prime minister and the colonial secretary, from which so much was expected. have in point of fact left things just as they were before and have done nothing whatever to arrest the progress of tse revolt in the conservative rank and fife against the continuance of Lloyd Georges leadership.
 If the prime minister has any definite plans he successfully concealed then from his Manchester audience Hi: apologia, as many describe his speech has not served to turn away the sharI edge of criticism lately lcvelied at hl' near eastern policy.

RAILWAY TRANSPORT TO BE
 RESERVED FOR CREEKS

.Rodosto, Thrace, Oct. Is (By the A P.)-Only four hundred freight cars are available here for evacuation pr- poses, according to railway officials. Therefore, all railway transport will be strictly reserved for the Greek army during the next fortnight
 The Mudania pact requires the nov ing out of the whole army in fifteen days, which means that the 60, 900 sol diers must be evacuated at the rate of 4,000 daily, with all their equipment and materials. As each freight car will be required nearly four days for the round trip from eastern Thrace to the new base, the ra.!waymen expect that daily average of about 100 cars can be counted on.
 The movement of refugees along the roads is bound to hamper the army considerably. The Greek authorities compare the situation to that of 1918 when thousands of persons perished in the refugee movement toward Thrace after the world war armistice

footed gentlemen concluded their
round. and II was discovered between

Walton Heath, England, had found
the going entirely to his liking and
had won the qualification prize with
73.
No such rain ever drenched the
players in a Washington tournament
before. While the event always
draws rain. nothing like yesterdays
deluge was in evidence during the
past popular tournaments.
1t is a known fact that a high per-
centage of the players never com
peted under like conditions before.
and the fact that 80 and better was
necessary to qualify in the first six
