The streets of Athens to-day were
filled with soldiers bearing olive

Constantine entitled "The Eagle's Son,"
which had been forbidden for three
years. The house of former Premier
Venizelos was closely, guarded by
troops.
Most of the stores were closed and
those that remained open had their
iron shutters ready to be dropped in?
stantly in cuse of necessity. Troops
continued to patrol the city, although
both the political parties instructed
their adherents to keep the peace. Ma?

Ten Are Rescued From
Burning Mine; Five Dead
Another Man Missing and Be
lieved To Be Buried Under
Fall of Slate
EARLINGTON, Ky., Nov. 17.?Ten j
miners were rescued to-day from the
burning Arnold coal mine* near here. ;
Bodies of five others were recovered. ;
One other person, trapped in the mine,
was still missing.
The rescue, effected by tunneling
around the fire which had shut off the I
single entry of the mine, came twenty
hours after the flames broke out. * !
The three white miners among the i
sixteen entombed are among the dead, ;
all of the rescued being negroes, as also
the one missing man.
Emmett Francis, a seventeen-year-old i
negro trapped in the mine, is missing, j
and there is little hope for his rescue
alive. Search, however, was continued
for him, but it was feared that he had >
been buried beneath falling slate.
Senators Propose Relief
Measures for Farmers !
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.?Senators
from the Western and Southern states
are consid'.-ring urging legislative ac?
tion to revive the War Finance Corpor- i
ation. They said to-day this was the '??
only agency which could give immedi-:
ate help to agricultural interests in the
"appalling" situation resulting from!
the sudden fall in prices. j
A conference of Western Senators
and Representatives to discuss the mat?
ter will be called, it was said, when:
Chairman Gronna, North Dakota, of
the Senate Agricultural Committee,
arrives in Washington. One sugges-,
tion is that Congress adopt a manda-1
tory resolution directing the immediate >
revival of the corporation.
In an appeal to President Wilson to'
restore the corporation Senator Dial,
of South Carolim:, wrote that he had
di cussed the matter with Secretar/1
Houston, adding:
"1 must say that he does not com?
prehend in the least the situation, or
lie does not desire to assist the Ameri?
can producer, and 1 feel that it is abso?
lutely ?seles? for anv one to confer,
with him further on the subject."
The executive committee of the Na- j
tional Board of Farm Organizations !
will meet here on .Monday to discuss j
possible relie? measures.

Constantine
Awaits Call
Of His People
(Continued from page ene)
considered propitious, because I be?
lieved then that the future of Greece
depended on the Western powers. But
at the time pressure was brought to
bear upon me I did not think we should
intervene.
"It is not true that I had bound my?
self to the Germans. I had studied |
the Dardanelles expedition as it was I
planned, and I was convinced that it I
would fail. To cut a long story short, I
it did fail. If the Greeks had cooper- I
ated in the Dardanelles expedition we |
would have lost all our men and made ?
our later operations impossible. In
fact, I consider it was the policy I
followed before Venizelos took power!
which made it possible for Greece to i
intervene with some success later. In '
any case, the Allies had no right not to
n spect my desire to remain neutral ;
as they respected the neutrality of I
others.
"I am convinced to-day that if wc
had intervened at the time it was de- !
landed of rae we would have been j
overrun by Germans, and particularly ?
by the Bulgarians.
"As for the future policy of Greece, !
I am convinced that Greece must look ?
to the Western powers. Should 1 re- 1
turn to Greece it would not be my de- |
sire to make any changes in national
policy, but J will declare that 1 believe i
that Greece must especially regard ',
England as her future friend."
The King pointed out masses of tele- j
grams which continue to pour into his
hotel.
"Since Monday I have received tons
of telegrams from Greece and all- parts ?
of the world," he said.
1 looked at some of them. A num
ber of them began with the Greek
motto, "Christ is Risen."
The King and other members of the
royal family are in mourning for the i
late King Alexander.
King Constantine and his family are j
eminently human and democratic. Be?
sides the King and Queen, there are j
two daughters, Helen and Irene, and
the little Princess .Katherine, nine
years old. Crown Prince George is ex- '
pected back to-morrow from a visit to :
PL ?lanc?e at Bucharest. The King's j
brother. Prince Nicholas of Greece,
and the princess also are here. Be?
sides these are members of the Kind's
suite. Princess Katherine's playmates,
governesses and dogs.
All members of the royal family fre
quent the hotel lounge and the Princess
Nicholas may often be seen smoking!
a cigarette there.
Prince Nicholas, after the jaint
efforts of our party to stop a dog
1 tight', told me that it was hoped the
marriage of the Crown Prince would
take place in January, 1 asked him
h? w he felt the night of the election.
"We all felt a bit jumpy," he said.
"The King, however, went to bed about
10:30 o'clock, as usual, when it was re
rted to us that the defeat of Veni?
zelos was growing. But we never ex
pected anything like the landslide
: which occurred."
It would be difficult to imagine a
more interesting family group than
that of Constantine surrounded bj his
family in the magnificent Hotel Na?
tional. The hostelry ?a almost deserted
Ly other clients because of the high
rate of exchange and the. winter sea?
son. Besides the royal party there are
only two or three other guests, who
? have ample opportunity of seeing the
effect on the King; and his family of
his tremendous victory in the Greek
elections. Outwardly it would be im
I possible to tell from his position erf
i obscurity that the King has suddenly
j regained, by popular vote, under the
worst possible conditions, all the power
'that was taken from him.
Cecil Declares
League Is Now
Going Concern
(Centlnuetl frent ?age ene)
was Premier of England when General
Smuts was the redoubtable leader o? i
th^ Boer army fighting cgainst the ?
British, and now General Smuts had
-elected him (Lord Robert), the son of
h is former enemy, to present to the ?as?
sembly the views of South Africa, of
which General Smuts was now the
Premier.
Warns of "Respectable Mediocrity"
"If such reconciliation between inoi
viduals can be brought about, why not
between nations?" he asked. "Do not
let us be afraid. One great danger of
the league is that we may sit down to
a position of respectable mediocrity."
The fliscussion originated on the re?
port of the work of the council. For?
eign Minister Pueyrre'don of Argentina
took the initiative and was followed
by Dr. Hagerup, president of the Nor?
wegian delegation, who presented a
resolution to the effect that the assem?
bly should have jurisdiction over the
council, the former being an analagous
parliament.
Dr. Hagerup pleaded for the widest
publicity for the council's proceedings,
an opening which Lord Robert seized
immediately, although he was unpre?
pared to accept Dr. Hagcrup's analogy.
Other points discussed by Lord Rob?
ert were thejeague's finances and the
registration of treaties.
"If, as I understand, the league spent.
under ?500,000 in a year, while the com?
batants spent i'20,000,000 daily, it is a
small insurance premium against war,"
he asserted.
The speaker referred only briefly to
mandates, confining himself to expres?
sion of the hope that the council quick?
ly would upset the mandatory system.
No feature of the covenant appealed to
him more than the provision that all
treaties should be registered, he said.
Secrecy Invites Criticism
"I am bound to add that a great deal
of the criticism in my country and j
other places is to the effect that the ,
arrangements made by the council for ;
publicity are not satisfactory, and I !
venture to suggest that it would do well !
to review without delay its present !
system of publicity," he added.
The assembly this afternoon began j
its committee work. One of the most |
important of these committees is the
one handling the permanent court of |
justice. Among the members are Lord j
Robert Cecil, Signor Tittoni, of Italy; i
M. Bourgeois, of France; Se?or Pueyr- ?
redon of Argentina, and Mr. Foster, of !
Canada. On the committee on the ad- :
mission of states the French have Viv
iani, Japan is represented by Hayashi, 1
England hy Fisher and Holland by Van- i
karnebeck.
A bi?: fight is predicted in the com?
mittee on mandates and armaments, j
which has among its members Cecil,!
Hymans, Fisher, Wellington Koo, Ishii. i
Nansen, Paderewski, Branting and j
Benes, the Czech Foreign Minister.
The delegates are taking a deep in- I
terest in the resuit ?rf the Greek elec- ?
tions and the d velopments following !
the crushing defeat of Venizelos. The '
election returns came as a startling i
surprise to the Greek representative^. ?
The 7"act that former King Constantine
is at Lucerne and a large number of !
Greek royalist? are in Switzerland nat- j
uraily increases the interest here.

The reply of President Wilson was
as follows:

very deeply indeed. I am indeed proud
to be considered to have played any

Grocers Ask Prosecution
Of Alleged Sugar Trust
Palmer Told Refiners Fixed Ex?
cessive Prices Involving Many
Millions of Dollars
From The Tribune's W'ashtnyton Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.?Attorney
General Palmer was asked to-day by :
counsel representing wholesale grocers ,
in New York, New England, Pennsyl?
vania, Delaware and Maryland to take
action against the American and .
Franklin sugar refining companies for ;
alleged violation of the food control i
acts.
The hearing was held before H. F.
Mitchell, Assistant Attorney General.
Representing the grocers were Robert
J. Bottomley, of Bos-ton, and Timothy I
T. Ansberry, of Washington.
Mr. Bottomley said the sugar trust ;
had "in open defiance of the Federa'
statutes and contrary to all trade cus- I
to m s coerced the wholesale grocers
and compelled the consuming publie
to pay an excessive price for sugar
in the last six months which involves
many million? of dollars."
It was testified that the sugar trust
this year tied up for six months the
wholesale grocers rr.d other large
dealers in sugar to contracts for de?
livery during the balance of the year
at 22% cents per pound. Mr. Bot?
tomley said sugar to-day was being
sold by the American and Franklin
sugar refining companies and other
refiners at from 0"i to lO?? cents ?

Mr. Bottomley argued that criminal
conspiracy was involved.

eminently fitted.

; State, on the theory that Lodge is
i stronger against the Wilson covenant
: than Root and would be inclined to
, pull Harding further away from the
whole idea rather than closer to the
general world plan agreed upon at
Versailles.
This group of Republicans is alarmed
at the intimations that Britain and
France are willing to rewrite the
league covenant to suit the United
States, but are unwilling to revise the
remainder of the treaty. Senator
Moses, for example, has frequently de?
clared that the remainder of the treaty
is worse than the league covenant.
This is also the opinion of a consid?
erable element among the irreconcila
bles, including Senator Norris, of
Nebraska; Medill McCormick, of Illi?
nois, and a half ?lozen others.
Some of these have felt, as was
openly charged by the Wilson leaders,
that Mr. Lodge was at h??art a treaty
killer, and they are for him for that
reason. The Democrats who followed
the President without question always
asserted that Mr. Lodge, although lie
I voted to ratify the treaty with reserva
I tions, had taken good care to load the
? treaty down with such reservations as
' he knew would be unacceptable to the
j President before so voting.
As a matter of fact, however, Sen
I ator Harding and Senator Lodge al
I most without exception voted together
( on every question presented by the

DR. ALONZO E. TAYLOR, Professor of
Physiological Chemistry, University of Pennsyl?
vania, and a nationally known food authority, in
an* address made before the American Dietetic Association,
urged people to center on a diet of bread and milk as
a means "of overcoming the present unequal food distribu?
tion."
Dr. Taylor is correct in his recommendation but he ?could
have gone further and stated, with truth, that increased
consumption of bread and milk by young and old would
make us a better fed and more economically fed people.

go far to providing the food nourishment'and economical
eating program, as suggested by Dr. Taylor, for, in addi?
tion to the highest grade flour, sugar, salt, yeast and short?
ening used in making the loaf, we aiso use plenty of pure*
rich milk.
You get lots of milk with the loaf when you eat WARD'S
MOTHER HUBBARD BREAD, a point well worth
remembering hereafter when you buy the "staff of life.1'
You will love the milk and wheat flavor of MOTHER
