Ross Hill, m charge of foreign operations, who is in Athens. The message reads:
 Six weeks after the catastrophe at Smyrna the situation of refugees in Greece and the islands of the Aegean grows daily more tragic. A personal inspection just made among the islands of the Cyclades reveals scores of thous- ands of shivering refugees, naked and starving On Milos refugees are dying at the rate of two daily.
 On Naros many refugees have nc roofs overhead. On other islands. where Greek gods were born and epic deeds achieved number!ess women, children and old men lie exposed to the wind which flaps their scanty rags. Epidemic scarlet fever has started on the island of Canes.
 Refugees on the mainland of Greece outnumber those on the islands and ar. living in such congestion that healtl and life are menaced. One camp or the outskirts of Athens is filthy beyond description and may cause epidemi, among normal population. The helping hand of humanity must stretch out t, these people or Greece and her island

Two Members Have, Been
 Suspended as the Begin
 ming of a Clean Up" Cam paign.

New York, Nov. 9---Expulsion ot :7Sn members of the New York stock eX- change and suspension of a third today was generally regarded in Wall street as the beginning of "clean-up" campaign which was regarded as inevitable in View of the large number of brokerage failures in the last year-a few of them stock ex- change firms.
 Governors of the exchange arc known to have been investigating scores of com plaints in the last few months, some re feGring to practices dating back several years. Ordinarily, little publicity is given to the charges on which members are disciplined. but the extended official comment on today's action was construed in the financial community as a warnng to the members as whole. and the indi- cation of the governors attitude on the violation of the rules and regulations of the exchange.
 The two members expelled were Sam uel Mast of Mast & Co.,. a Chicago house, which failed last July, and c. P. Holzder- Der of c. P. Holzderber Co. The mem- Der suspended for ten days was Eli S Newburger of the firm of Landen, Vercoe & Co.

MIDsHIPMEN FIGHT FIRE
 ON SUBMARINE CHASER

Annapolis. Md, Nov. 9.-Twenty mid shipmen from the U. s. Naval academy narrowly escaped death this afternoon when, in heroic battle against fire, they fought their way up the Chesapeake bay on a aIb-chaser.
 The midshipmen started oUt early in the afternoon for seamanship drill on one of the sub-chasers which have been tied up at the academy wharf since the armistice.
 When two miles of shore, the engine bac1zfred and the forward part of the vessel was envefoDed in flames. The mid shirrnen took their stations at the hose lines and formed bucket brigades as the flames spread.
 The sub-chaser's brow was turned to- ward the shore. It was then that the battle began. A stiff breeze augmented the danger.
 The midshipmen fought every foot of the way On the wharves at Annapolis crowd gathered, attracted by the smoke. Light craft set out from the academy and nearby points to offer as- sistance.
 Cheers arose from those standing on the shore at the experimental station when the midshipmen beached their boat. The boat was burned beyond repair. the flames eating away all the superstructure and part of the hold.

st-,..y-rt-o> t -.-.oa on the prohibition issue.
 Nevertheless, on the lace of the re- turns. it seems to be a fact that the ef- forts of the vets to nullify our laws and to begin the process of breaking down the constitution of the United States has had no inconsiderable effect. They have boasted that they had more than thirty organizations, most of them well financed, in organized effort for this purpose. To my mind, the question now raised is dis tinctly larger than the question of whether we shall have beer and light wines. It is a question of whether de- mocracy can make good."
 The bishop said that if beer was to come back it would mean the return of the brewery and the saloon and "all of the corrupting influences of the liquor traffic in politics."
 When they tell you," he added, that this law cannot be enforced, but. some other regulations can be, we ask, when was there ever law against the liquor traffic which the liquor men obeyed when they could possibly evane it.?
 We have laws aga1nst murder, but murders continue. We have laws against all sorts of things. but there are always law-breakers, so do not anticipate that for years to come, at least. we shall per fnanently eliminate the bootlegger or the clandestine seller of iouor."

He expressed the opinion that no general settlement of the repara- tions problem was possible unless the question of inter-allied debts was solved at the same time.
 France is not imDerialiStic, he de clared q can say that she is the least imperialstic of the nations, but she has rights to defend. We do not contemplate any personal action before the Brussels conference. but if we do not obtain satis- faction there is nothing in the world that can prevent us from acting alone in the fuilness of our rights"
 The premiec was replying to Senator Hubert who asserted that occupation of at least part of the Ruhr district was in- dispensable to bring the heads of German industry to a reasonable attitude on the execution of the Versailles treaty and the payment of German reparations
 M Poincace agreed that energetic ac- tion was necessary but avoided the ques- tion of occpying the Ruhr. He recalled that he was ready last August to present a general plan for the payment of repara- tions and inter allied debts. But the British cabinet issued note in which the l debt to Great Britain was linked with the British debt to the United States. At | the same time, continued M.

MARSH GAS CAUSED THE
 REILLY MINE EXPLOSION

Spangier, Pa. Nov .-Methane-com- monly called .marsh gas-was responsible fer the explosion in the Reilly mine Mon day which claimed a toll of more than three score of lives. This conclusion was reached tonight by Seward Button, chief of the state bureau of mines. who com pleted the first phase of an investigation to fiS, responsibility for the disaster.
 MT. Button declined to discuss the question of personal responsibility until he had made more thorough investiga- tion.
 'Methane is generated by vegetable matter in the coal" he said. "The actual explosion was comparatively slight. Most of the lives were claimed by the after damp" f.
 Considerable water has seeped into the workings and it may not be possible to complete the investigation until the first of next week.
 Forty of the victims were buried to- day.
