the consequence of the past two days

food and in utmost misery, and fur
Their casualties among these people

are resorting to a veritable pillage of
the occupied country. requisitioning
wheat, cereals and other foodstuffs.
One town, Petrich, and seven villages
are declared to have fallen into the
hands of the Greek, whose advance
is described as being over a 20 mile
front and to a depth of more than six
miles. Latest advices received here,
however, indicate that the Greek aj-
vance has come to temporary halt.

The capital is seething with rage as
the refugees relate such happenings

FLYERS ESCAPE
AS BRITISH MYSTERY
PLANE IS WRECKED

Bay Shore Park, Baltimore, Oct.
23.-(AP)-Great Britain's "mys-
terry plane" the super-marine Napier
Sd. crashed this morning during the
navigibility trials and is total
wreck. Captain Henry C. Biard, the
pilot is suffering from an immersion
and shock, but escaped injury.
Biard had just taken off for the
navigability and seaworthiness
trials and was at an elevation of
about 200 feet when a wing fiutter
apparently developed in both wings
of the monoplane. Biard attempted
at once to land.
AS he struck the water the super
marine nosed down and somersault-
ed on her back, pressing the pilot
under the surface.
Biard was wearing a life belt and
managed to clear himself and reach
ed the surface as the Napier S-4
sank.
Capt. Hubert Broad, who had TAX
en- the British Gloster Napier III
out for her tests a short time be-
fore, seeing Biard in trouble, start
ed taxing toward him as he fell.
When Biard freed himself from the
wreckage Broad threw him second
life belt to which he chung until
rescue boats picked him up a few
minutes later.
The crash occurred about half a
mile off shore from the hangers.
The super-marine's mishap will
throw into the Schneider cup race
tomorrow both of Great Britain's
Gloster-Napier IIPs, one of which
had been held in reserve. Bert
Hinkler of Melbourne, the British
reserve pilot, will take the second
Gloster into the race tomorrow.
Captain Biard intended to make no
attempt to take part in the cup race
after the shattering of his SUPER
marine.
The super-marine disintegrated as
she sank in the water. Salvage boats
on the scene few minutes after the
crash brought to the surface the
super-marine Napier-Lion engine.
The rest of the plane was a total
loss. Captain Biard said that when
he crashed the engine appeared to
be working all right.

cavalry branch of the army and the
U. S. department of agriculture for
the purpose of determining the
strains of horses best suited for army
