GREEK ARMY AND NAVY
 DISMISS FOREIGN TUTORS

ATHENS, May 10-Greece's army, navy and police will no long CT be under foreign tutelage. For reasons of economy the government has decided to abrogate it's con- tracts with the British naval mis- sion, the French military mission, and the Italian police, granting their members six months pay in lieu of notice.
 The only mission remaining in Greece now is the British police mission, under Sir Frederick Halli- day, which has been here since 1919 and has done good work in reorgan- izing the Greek police on the lines of the London police force. The governments decision will be a severe blow to the foreign naval and military missions, whose mem bers drew not only salaries from their own countries, but from the Greek government as well. -

in the pool A number of local men have s100 or more in tickets and several had 700 or more chances to win, counting combinations and in- dividual guesses.
 Among the winners of minute pools, E. V. Wilson, a brakeman on the Alaska Railroad, carried off first honors, winning a total of $500. He won the $5 pools at the Portland and Terminal and two s1 pools at the Terminal. Mike Ercig, Fairbanks drill man, wen S1 min ute pool at the Terminal, Ross Love lace won the Baseball consolation pool, Fritz Nagel won the Healy s1 minute pool and the N. C. pool which was not complete, was di- vided. Ed Johnson carried off the Commission minute pool.
 Reports from Fairbanks state that the slough at that point is running full of water, with most of the ice gone. There was threat of a flood yesterday, with a jam a short distance below town, but there was lowering of water during the night, indicating general move ment of ice down the slough.

ICE MOVES;
 BREAKUP STARTING

from the committee the sum of S1,666, representing one-sixth of the total amount of the pool. Maurice and Sarantis will divide their share between them and there will be an other division in the case of the Panama Sporting Club. it not being known to the committee how many will participate in that share.
 Carlo Giacchero is said to have come from the Koyukuk several months ago to earn another grub stake working on the railroad. Mrs. McPhail is also said to be in po- sition to make immediate use of her winnings and, in fact, all of the lucky ones are hard working Alas kans who will be materially benefit ted by their divisions of the Ice Pool money. ...
 The arrangements made by the committee for registering the off ciaI time, worked splendidly to the last detail The movement of the flag on the river ice stopped the chronometer at exactly 13 seconds after two o'clock. As 1t happened, Oscar Rothenburg who was in charge at the power plant at the time, had been advised that he might expect to hear the alarm at any time during the afternoon, and he was standing near the chronom- eter when it stopped and sounded the alarm automatically. He immed- lately sprang 10 the whsle and gave the general alarm.
 As matter of precaution the committee had several watches set with the chronometer early yester- day morning, and all agreed on the time.
 As usual, there were a lot of close guesses. Had the ice moved one minute earlier or a minute later, there would have been consid- erable division of the money. In fact, the entire day was thickly plastered with guesses and the ice scarcely could have moved at all without hitting one or more of the guessers.
 A noteworthy feature of the big classic is the fact that the heavy investors in guesses did not share

BLIND SOLDIERS OF GERMANY
 ARE sELF-sUPPoRTING

BERLIN, May 10-Only 20 per cent of Germany's 2,547 completely blinded war veterans are without vacations, the federal minister of labor announces. Sixty per cent have taken up other careers than what they followed before being blinded; 125 per cent remained at their former employment, and 7.5 per cent are occupied part of the time. Statistics of the year 1900 show that only 21.5 per cent of the completely blinded at that time were in employment.

The movement of ice in the Ta- mana river in front of Nenana, which every year is becoming greater sporting event occurred at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, May g, as officially recorded by the chronometer in the Nenana power house. The great ice sheet moved quietly down stream just enough to close the open place opposite the mouth of the Nenana river, but more than enough to set the mach inery of the official time registering apparatus in motion, by which means the winners of the big ice pool were determined. ..:.. .
 The blowing of the power plant whistle, to announce the breakup, was followed by a rush to the riv- CT from all directions, but by the time the crowd reached the river bank the ice had stopped moving and the real breakup is not yet in progress, although apparently very near at hand. @
 As was to have been expected, in view of the fact that May g is al ways a popular day among gues- sers, the ice pool, which reached the substantial sum of S10,000 this year, is shared by a number of guessers, there being six tickets marked with the exact minute and two of the tickets representing ad- ditional divisions.
 The winners, as announced by the Ice Pool Committee last night, after going over the tickets care fully second time, are as follows
 Tanana Sporting Club, Panama.
 Axel Carlson, Suntrana.
 Ralph E. Bigney, Fairbanks, Brakeman on Alaska Railroad.
 Mrs. McPhail, Fairbanks. Employ ed as nurse at the Detention hos pital.

COUNCIL DICUSSEs PLANS
 FOR CONGRESSIONAL VISIT

The city council of Nenana has assumed the responsibility of see ing that Nenana is properly repre- sented on the occasion of the pro- posed visit of a Congressional del egation this summer. The matter was brought to the attention of the aldermen by a telegram from the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, requesting cooperation in receiv- ing the visitors when they reach the coast and in escorting them O. yer the railroad, and 1t was decided by the council to inform the Aneh- orage chamber that Nenana will CO., operate in every way possible. l. is the plan of the Anchorage chamber to unite the Seward, Anchorage, Ne mana and Fairbanks commercial bodies in common movement for the general benefit of the railroad belt, the object being to arrive ag an understanding regarding the pro per presentation of the important needs of the railroad belt.
 Chief Engineer Frank Robinson, of the public utilities, advised the council that it probably would be ] necessary to employ additional help in the power plant in order that he might have more time to devote 10 his outside work The council con- sidered the advisability of employ ing 8 licensed engineer to have gen eral charge of the work in the pow CT house, but after considerable discussion the matter was left to Chief Robinson for solution and fur ther recommendation.
 Chief Robinson also called the attention of the council to the need of a quantity of high grade coal, for use in case of fire, and he was in- structed to get the necessary fuel and provide storage for it, eonyen- tent to the boilers. The city is now using a very low-priced coal, suit able for ordinary use in the plant, but it is thought a better quality will give better results for emergen- cy firing.
 Mrs. Pete Anderson appeared be- fore the council with request for street improvement on upper Front Street, and the matter was referred to the street committee.
 i Chief of Police Alexander was in ] structed to encourage property own CTS to put their premises in order and he reported the spring cleanup aleady well under way, with the promise that the city will present a neat appearance by the time all the frost is out of the ground.
 The council ratified the action of the old council authorizing the final advertising of the delinquent tax list and the property will ultimately be sold under authority from the district court, the order already having been issued.
 Chief Alexander reported re- pairs to the water main satisfactor- fly made and the system now in good working condition.
