Greeks Determined.

H'iieHe' sept 1aN tBy Associated Press).-Greece will never permit the Turks to invade Thrace which sht considers part of her homeland sne retention of which is an essential ore llminary condition to any peace con. ference This declaration was made In a statement to the Associated Press by the Green foreign office to- day.
 We have lost Asia Minor, but we must keep Thrace," said the state. ment. That is an essential prelim mary condition to any peace confer ence. Our army in Asia Minor, which had been fighting for ten years. was absolutely exhausted, but the Greek nation will never permit the Turks to invade Thrace, which we consider home territory.
 Can Send 150,0OO Men.
 We have demobilzed the military classes from 1912 to 1918 but the classes from 1919 to 1923 we are keeping on a war footing making a total army of 150.oo0 men available for Thrace, should the allies permit the Turks to cross to Constantinople
 unhappily we lack ammunition, ar tillery and general equipment but hope our friends will help us in our efforts to keep the Turks out of Europe and that the English fleet will aid us in preventing the Turks from crossing the straits.
 The Smyrna massacre speaks for itself. Greece is defending Christian civilization.
 No Internal Troubles.
 Internally Greece is quiet There is absolutely no danger of a revolu- ton. Foreign reports of trouble are the outgrowth of the insistence of our troops that they be returned to Piraeus instead of being dem mobilized on the islands, But these wearied men had no revolutionary designs: they only wanted to go home. We found out that when we sent our Athens army as a precaution to Pi- raeus.
 Our king remains because the people demanded him and want him By what right shall any foreign na- tional interfere with the expressed will of the Grecian people?'
 Rome, Sept. p (By Associated Press) The attitude of Foreign Min ster Schanzer in opposing any mili- .ary expedition to Turkey with the dea of supposedly defending the freedom of the straits, was confirmed It a meeting of the Italian cabinet oday.
 Instructions to maintain this atti- .ude were sent to Count Sforza, Italy's representative in Paris for his guid ,nce at this afternoons meeting with Premier Poincare of France and For .ign Minister Curzon of England.

TELLS OF SUCCESS
OF NEW FINANCING
Samuel Insull Explains to
Bond Men How Customers
Aid Public Utilities.

Samuel insult OF Chicago president Of
the Commonwealth Edison Company and
executive head OF r large number of pub
lie utility corporations serving the mid
die West. delivered AN address before
the Bond Grub of New York yesterday
on the subject OF local public utility
financing. Mr.. insult went rather deeply
into all forms OF financing by public
utility companies, but he laid particular
stress on the method now used for rails
ing money by the sale OF capital stock
10 customers.
Mr.. Insults companies Were among
the pioneers in that field of financing.
and he set forth many reasons why he
has found the plan exceedingly desir-
able. In the first place, Mr.. insult said,
il serves to promote that thing which IS
most desirable in the operation of gas
and electric light properties-the interest
OF the customer, " the success of the
venture--or, as he N-lt it, sit gets every
body yelling for u.s." He mentioned sew
eral instances in which public utility
companies> have been materially, aided
through tho efforts of its customer stock
holders
His company was led into the Gus
toner r-ownership proposition by tho
necessities OF war. he said. When war
began in 1914 it was found that large
amounts of the stock OF the company
held abroad were being sent here for
liquidation and II was then that the
system of distributing that stock
among customers was first tried out,
Its success is measured by the figures
which he presented, showing that IN
the first two or three years about
s1,o00ooo q year was raised in this
fashion.
In 1920, however. customers purchased
1aa,s5S shares at a cost of sl4.6S4 20 and
IN 1921 they bought 149, $50 shares, pay
ing tho company s14S4o.aco. This year,
up to November 4, total sales under
this plan amounted to 2S7,1S6 shares
with value of SOS. .119 203. During the
entire period that tho insult companies
have been using the customer-owner-
ship plan, a total of more than 100000
shares has been placed and sS00o0oo0
raised without recourse to the ordinary
banking accommodations used by most
companies.
Mr.. insult discussed at some length
the troubles of the public utility cor
Dorations during the war time period
Of high pricts and the postwar depres-
sion. All except the street railway
companies have pulled out In excellent
fashion. he said, and the traction
properties are working out their prob
lems in a satisfactory manner.
