LONDON, August 30.-The
body of Princess Anastasia of
Greece, who was once a Cleve-
land, Ohio, typist, may lie
among kings in the Greek royal
cemetery near Athens. The prin-
cess died late last night of can

The end came at 11:48 p. m,

Christopher OF Greece, her hus-
band. She had been unconsci-
Gus for hours and all hope had
been abandoned. Her husband
was at the. bedside when she
passed away as was also her son
William B. Leeds and his wife

The princess had been ailing
since early in the summer. She
had undergone four operations
for cancer and complications,
and after each one she rallied
and resumed hor place in the

Acceptance of Demands
By Greece Way to
Avoid Conflict

written for the United Press)

War between Greece and italy
can be averted only by acceptance
by the. Athens government of the
principal terms of the Italian ulti.
matum. Greece is in no position to
wage a successful conflict against
Italy and it is probable therefore
that Athens will satisfy the Italian
demands.
Should war result, however, it
would be an easy matter for the
Italian fleet to capture Piraeus, the
port of Athens, and the Italian
flag thereafter would almost Ger,
tainly fry from the Greek capital.
The Italian government has re,
vealed tha this would be its basic
strategy, by sending battle fleet
to Greek waters under the terms of
the ultimatum. The Greek coast
would be a quick prey to the Ital-
ians if the ultimatum were chal-
lenged and the overthrow of the
Athenian government would follow.
Mussolini has seized the present
opportunity to increase his prestige
at home. There is no certainty
that the border commissioners were

Anthracite coal operators look with

The operators refuse to give any

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. so.
A meeting of bank creditors of
Governor Warren It. McCrav. who
today admitted '-neavy reverses
during the recent agricultural de-
pression,'' has been called here to-
morrow.
Elmer Il. Stout, president of the
Fletcher American National bank,
one of the governor IS heaviest
creditors, called the meeting short
ly after McCray's resignation us
president of the Discount and De
posit bank at Ken:land was made
public.
Until recently McCray had been
rated one of the financial as well
rs political powers of the state. He
is interested in several noted live
stock farms and the losses were
said to be in connection with these.
Several creditors have asked if
our institution would take charge of
the governor assets and distribute
them among the creditors.' Stout
said.
McCray would not discuss reports
that Tom Taggart, Indiana demo
cratic chief; James A. Allison pres
idcnt of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway and former Governor
James p. Goodrich had raised a
fund to aid him. He disclosed, how
ever, that he had been only the

COLUMBUS, O., August 30.-
Science lost ground to psychic alb
normality today in one of the
strangest BATTLES ever waged.
The center of the long fight is
Miss Bernice Redick. For nearly
three years master psychologists
have been puzzled by two distinct
persona lities struggling desperate
ly to rule her slender beg.
These personalities are:
Miss Redick s normal self, some
what sensitive aud highly nervous
girl of %.
"Polly'', who has all the char
acteristics of four year old child,
except that she has an unusually
violent temper and uses, grown up
cuss words,' when she is crossed.
The first time Miss Redick lapsed
into the "Poly" personality was
when she was in high school, nearly
three years ago. She was placed
under the care of the Ohio welfare
department.
At one time, about year ago,
psychologists believed the girl' S
"baby self' completely "killed
out. - Recently the personality
changes have become more frequent.

in despatching an ultimatium to
Greece without first consulting the
council of ambassadors. The Ital-
ian ultimatum is regarded as too
harsh and seeks to humiliate Greece
unnecessarily. 1t is doubted
whether Greece will be able to raise
the money demanded by Italy in so
short a time as that fixeds in the
note.
Members of the council of am
bassadors are now scattered on their
vacations and it has not yet been
decided what action may be taken
by this body.
l. Information comments in a
typical vein on the situation today
by saying that Italy is smarting
from the competition with Greece
in the near east, and acted in an
ger. The editorial then points out
that, although the council of am
bassadors is slow, its jurisdiction is
international in character and any
decision it might render would bye
unanimously recognized and res
