Greeks Supplying Oil
To British WarShipS,
Italians Charge
Staying Of Albanian
Touches Off Bitter
Rome Press Attack
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME. Aug. 12.-Italy turned her
propaganda guns ominously on
Greece today, charging the Greeks
with supplying oil to British war;
ships and planes and conniving with
the British in plots along the bor-
der of Italian conquered Albania.
The reported beheading of an OBJ
scure Albanian minority leader by
Greek border raiders touched of a
violent press campaign reminiscent
of those by Germany against
Czecho- Slovakia and Poland.
Britain was brought into the pic
ture by the newspaper II Popolo di
Roma, which is close to the govern
ment, with charge that British
warships and warplanes operating
in the Mediterranean against Italy
were fueling at Greek bases.
Greece, neutral friend of Britain,
received a pre-war British guarantee
of her territory. At the time this
guarantee was given, II Popolo di
Roma said today. the Greeks spoke
openly of the future Greek kingdom
of Epirus, which would have en-
braced Albania"

Some circles wonder" the news
paper commented, IF the neutrality

taxas government is more neutrality
in form than substance. considering
that British agents are not pre-
vented from carrying out their ac-

ALSO, 200 well-supplied bases of

pany) placed above and below the
at strategic points on the Greek
coast and islands appear to be used
ever more by English air and naval
forces operating in the Eastern
Mediterranean"
The Italian charges against Greece
are the first to disturb relations be-
tween the two countries since the
outbreak of the European war when
both, declaring good will toward each
other, withdrew their troops from
the Albanian frontier.
This had eaSed the tension re-
sulting from Greek fear of the Ital-
ians at the time of the Fascist an
nexation of Albania in April, 1889.
Charge Not Confirmed.
A high Fascist source said that II
Popolo di Roma's charges thus far
had not been officially confirmed
but that if the English were found
to be using Greek bases Italy will
go after them"
Whoever touches Albania touches
Italy, one authoritative Fascist said
in commenting on the reported
assassination" of Haut Hoggia, an
Albanian nationalist leader, by
Greeks on Albanian soil near the
Greek frontier.

Tense area today and paused in the
shadow of the frigate Constitution
to say that the Newport training
station once more would become one
of the Nays main training centers

He said his visit carried him back
to 1917 when he was Assistant Sec

station was turned into one of the
Nays biggest. The same thing is
being done again now in an excel
lent way, he asserted. He had
watched a regiment of 2,10o recruits
step out in a snappy review And,
earlier, he had seen work under way
on big destructive torpedoes. The
main thing, he said. is to keep the
torpedo station running at maximum
capacity.

1t. John Davis, U. S. N, retired.
presented Mr. Roosevelt a polished
piece of oak timber from the Con-

expressed hope that the ship would
be placed formally in commission.
Calling over his naval aide, Capt.
Daniel j. Callaghan, Mr. Roosevelt
said 1t. Davis had made an excellent
request and asked that Capt. CAL
laghan make note of it.
Asked whether he had caught any
fish yesterday. Mr.. Roosevelt said
he got lots. then added that he had
not been fishing officially, but had

Springtime Is Season Of Joy
Adhesion Wild Creatures
With Nature in Her Gayest Mood, animals
Enjoy Their DUN Games and FroIics.

CPRINGTIME in the wilds is
- playtime. The majority of our
mammals have their young in the
early months of the year, and in
April and May it is possible to
watch the most delightful games
among the puppies Of the fields.
Badger, fox and otter cubs are
very playful little creatures. The
otter and badger appear to have
a certain amount of method in
their games, but fox cubs simply
romp among themselves in wild
abandon.
On a slipping sand cliff near my
home seven fox cubs came out of
a large hole; on the ledge just
outside they played with a round
stone, pushing it with their feet,
tossing it in the air and allowing
it to run down the slope.
When tired of this they PLAYED
game which resembled Follow
the Leader" One would run for
ward, dodge and leap over all
kinds of imaginary obstacles, and
the others would follow in its
tracks; then all would roll togeth-
er in rough and tumble, in which
their small teeth would tug at the
fur of their companions.
Bouncing Badgers.
Young badgers are among the
most amusing cubs to watch at
play. With their bold black and
white markings they are quaint

the ball seemed to burst open with
loud splash, and four excited Of
tiers with their bright, eager eyes
well above the water, started
swimming round one another. One
leaped right out of the stream and
over its companions to dive on the
other side, and as they fioated
along this acrobat made circles
around them, those below trying to
grip it as it passed over. Then
they all Joined up again, and
seemed to be having a struggle as
to which could pull the others I'M
der the surface, a sort of spirited
ducking game.
They continue to play until all
are tired. Then the parents lead
their young off to a well-hidden
lair, where they all sleep until
hunger and high spirits call again.

their play is exuberant and siren

First they poke their noses in
the ground, searching for hidden
grubs; then, without any warning,
all stiffen their fur, making it
stand upright, and now they look
twice their size. With their short
legs also stiffened they bounce
round one another like footballs,
then leap in, grip a mouthful of
fur, and roll over and over. They
break apart, and again play the
bouncing game, and just as sud-
denly as they started to play they
cease, and the next moment all
are diligently searching for more
food.
Fun in the Water.
Many young offers are born at
an awkward time, that is at the
beginning of winter, but they are
hardy little creatures and appear
to be able to stand any amount of
cold. Offers, more than any other
wild creatures, show us that they
thoroughly enjoy life; a plentiful
supply of food makes them con-
tented, and both parents and young
play the most delightful games.

Let Yourself Go

watch any of these Is players
in this field. They all give you the
impression they are using their
hands more than anything else. And
they are. They are not thinking about
half as many things to do as the
average golfer does. Never mind
too many details, They just tie you
up. Keep as relaxed as you can.
When you begin to tighten up, step
away, and take your stance again.
And don't think Of anything but the
swing itself, Of using the hands in
the proper manner.
