ATHENS. Greece April 10 CUP)
The sting was taken from the
German capture of Salonika today
by tne disclosure that Greek sold
iers and civilians had safely evacu-
atsa the city and most of eastern
Macedonia ahead OF the Germans,
taking what they could carry and
DESTROYING what they couldn't.
No serious plans had been made

OF eastern Macedonia and western

was done according to plan, and

Greek units still were holding out
east of Salonika. A Greek spokes-
man said that terrific losses were
being inflicted on the Germans at
the Rupel forts, in the Struma
River Valley northeast of Salonika

duced TO rubble but the Greeks
held out in the ruins, driving back
wave after wave of attackers, some
times attacking to capture

the possibility that Russia would
eventually denounce its pact with

that Russia's policy was under

change. diplomats said. was first
made plain when Russia offered
Bulgaria last November an alliance
which might have involved Russia
in war with Germany. Bulgaria re-
jected the offer. The reaffirmaton
of the Russo Turkish non-aggres-
sion treaty and last Saturdays con-
clusion OF a RuSso-Jugoslav treaty
were additional signs of q trend.
However. the absence of any I'M
provement III Russian British re-
latlonS caused more conservative
diplomats here to doubt that Russia
was ready to carry its hostility to-

to the point of an open break

ner, have investigated the scope of
the work done by the several re-
lief organizations in Newark. To
investigate resources within the
college a suggestion is being fol-
lowed of registering all members
of the faculty and student body in
respect to the individual abilities
of each that might have any use
fulness for defense purposes. Such
information is being recorded as
whether an individual has already
had at any time a course in first
aid, experience with small children,
switchboard experience, tipping,
mechanical abilities like skill in re-
pairing an automobile engine, even
the ability to change a tire, etc.
Dean Colder and Miss Quaesita
Drake are in charge of making out
the registration blank. Ways and
means of raising money for a De-
tense Fund are being planned by
Miss Jane Gardner, whose commit
tee includes also Miss Edith Nc
Dougle and Miss Gertrude Sturges.
Another committee under the dl-
rection of Miss Florence Holmes,
assisted by Miss Alice Van de

investigating the problem of how
class work can contribute To de-

represented by Miss Betty Crossan,
has been appointed 70 work with
members of the faculty in the var

Miss Barbara Alden and Miss

All of these e:orts are evidence
that the Women's College is anx-

Aim For Unity

The spirit of good will, such
as the Smyrna Rotary Club
and the Clayton Lions Club
are displaying at their joint
dinner tonight, will do much
toward bringing a closer rela-
tionship between the towns of
Smyrna and Clayton. A clos
er cooperation between the
two towns is desirable, and
the first and most important
step in this direction is good
will and good fellowship on
the part of the residents of
both towns. For two small
towns, as closely related as
Smyrna and Clayton, to be at
swords points with antagon-
ism and jealousy, is simply
cutting off the nose to spite
the face" Much can be gain
ed if they pull together-much
can be lost if they pull apart.
Unity Of purpose and ideas,
with close cooperation and
good fellowship, is a desirable
situation for which to strive.

MAKE 1T "AMERICAN"
AND MIX 1T
WITH MODERN!

In Colonial days, there were not
many glassware patterns. The
process of making was then too
costly So pure genius inspired
design fitting for all times and
ali occasions.
Recently, Fostoria lecreated
this traditional pattern; made
American" pieces by less ex-
pensive, more modern process,
but retained its sparkling beauty
for luxurious banquets or the
most informal luncheons.
Fostoria's American" is pri-
marily designed for homes of
colonial simplicity. Neverthe-
less, it hobnobs on intimate
terms with even the ultra
modern. 1t is crystalware un-
affected by passing fashions, in
harmony with any setting.
Our American" panorama is
here on display. Its sparkle will
delight you. It's variety will
please you. The very low prices
will surprise you.
