l.. A. HarbOr May
Be Graveyard Of
Many Old Cars
by United Press Le8scd Wire

Los ANGELES, May 23,-That
Los Angeles harbor may be the
graveyard for a large number OF
missing automobiles was considered
possible today when police were in
formed that John p. kenney, alias
l.. II. Conley, held in San Francisco
under sentence to Leavenworth
penitentiary, had confessed that he
had dumped five such machines
off pier at Wilmington.
The machines were disposed Of to
collect insurance, it was said.
Local police believe plot may
exist among an underworld gang
to dispose of machines which do
prcciated far below their insured
value and then to blackmail the
owners after they collected the i'll
surance. 1t is probable that use of
one of the city's harbor dredges for
the purpose of searching for the
missing machines will be asked.

ITALY'S Stronger
Than GREEK ARMY
Her Fighting Machine Superior to
Rivals

Washington. Sept. 1.-What would
happen II Greece fails ito give salts
faction" for the killing OF Italian
officers on the interallied commission
for elimination Of the Albanian front
iers?
How long could Greece last against
| Italy, provided no other nation came
! to the formers aid?
Many experts think not long.
Few hours could take the we'll
equipped Italian navy through the
Ionian Sea and into the harbor of
Piraeus, the defense of Athens,
Greek capital. And few we'll direct
ed shots would, these experts think,
end the war.
Italy's peace strength standing
army consists Of 100000 men. But
it has a well-trained. ever-ready re-
serve of more than two and a quar-
ter million men. Its military service
is compulsory.
Greek Army.
Like Italy, Greece Eonpels her
young men to enter the military
service: 1t commences in the goth
year and lasts for the long period of
81 years. The normal term in the
active army is three years for the
cavalry and two for the infantry, fol-
lowed by 81 years in the first serie of
the reserve and eight in the second
serie.
The approximate strength of
Greece's army is 100000 men. But
in its reserve are nearly as many
thousands as that of Italy. The exact
number is not available.
On the sea, Italy can boast Of the
following: First line light cruisers,
of $4,000 tons; destroyer leaders, 6
of 1920 tons; first line destroyers,
IL of 1850 tons; first line subma-
rnes, 4 of 1900 tons. Fleet subma-
rines, none.
Greece is far removed from Italy in
naval strength. 1t has but three first
class capital ships. 1t also has g des-
troyers, modern torpedo boats, 2
submarines and variety of miscel-
laneous craft. To these have been adj
ded the former Austrian destroyer
Ulau. and torpedo boats, now used
for police duty.
Italy Controls Air. Z
Aviation is certain to clay a big
part in any such war. Here again, the
Hellenic forces are Overwhelmingly
outnumbered
1taly's active air forces include 81
t1rst-line army and navy squadrons,
with $40 first class fighting planes
and 5000 men. Besides this force,
there is large reserve.
Owing to the revolution, etc, the
Greek aviation strength is woefully
weak. The aviation service boasts
about 100 officers and less than half
that number of planes many of them
of almost obsolete types.
