GREECE Ssi
TUB WAR
Foreign Office Strain Every Effort to
Prevent Diplomatic Break—Out
look Is Hopeful.
ATHENS, June 22.—The Turkish
situation appears less acute today and
some hope is entertained that a
peaceful settlement can be had of
the trouble. The foreign office is
straining every.' nerve to prevent a
rupture of the friendly relations ex
isting between the two governments, 1
but the war departments of both coun
tries are industriously preparing for
the conflict.
Greece does not want to enter a
new and uncertain war at this time,
but rather prefers to devote her ef
forts to building up the captured
provinces and the founding of a pow
erful nation. The fear is expressed
here that Austria will urge the Turks
to attack, expecting to reap pome
gain during the unsettled condition
sure to come if another Balkan war
is started.

TO COMBAT PARCEL POST.
Express Companies’ Scheme Looks to
Elimination of the Middleman.
Express companies of the United
States, facing tremendous loss of busi
ness through the Introduction of the
parcel post, are planning to act as
agents between the consumer and the
farmer or fruit grower in delivering
poultry, vegetables, fruit and other ag
ricultural products direct to the door
of the housewife without loss of fresh
ness.
Orders have been Issued by one com
pany to all of its agents to get quota
tions on farm products for the benefit
of the general offices in the cities. Al
though the company does not announce
that It is doing away with the middle
man, it is declared that that may be
the ultimate effect of its position.
LEGAL PAPERS TOO WORDY.
Judge Landis Upholde Short. Indiot
ment and Advocates Reform.
Judge Landis In Chicago recently
ndvocated a reform of language In le
gal documents. An attorney had pro
tested agninst the brevity of an In
dictment, and Judge Landis 6aid:
"You say the indictment is too brief.
Legal documents have too many words,
and I have asked the district attor
ney to see if some couldn't be cut out
He said he would try to do it. Why,
I’ve had indictments weighing several
pounds put up to me.”
The judge upheld the Indictment in
question.
DEATH LURKS IN EATING.
William T. White, the Cana
dian minister of finance, speak
ing at the annual meeting of the.
Association of Life Insurance
Presidents, In New York city,
said that In his opinion most
people dig their graves with
their teeth and that if they
could be Induced to play and
sleep more and. eat less life In
surance would be a more profit
able business.
"We don’t play enough,” he
added, “and I’m inclined to think
that the government would do
better to subsidize golf links
than railroads.”
Beginning with the governmental
fiscal year, which starts on July 1,
all officials will be required to pay
ope-half the commercial rates for all
telegrams transmitted over the
Washlngton-Alaska military "tele
graph and cable system.
SEEKING SHARE OF
CHINA’SBUSINESS
Association Trios to Farther
Interests ot Americans.
OPPORTUNITIES ARE WIDE.
Attempts to Impress State Depart
ment at Washington With the Neces
sity For Instant Action In Order That
Americans May Share Profits—Oth
er Nations Have Acted.
Peking, China.—The Americans of
North China have formed a society
under the style of the American Asso
ciation of North China to foster the
interests of American commerce.
They want a commercial attache to
be assigned to duties of investigation
throughout China following the prac
tice of other nations, which keep a
lively propaganda campaign afoot on
behalf of their nationals and they are
appealing to the American state de
partment to appoint such an official.
Foremost among those who recognize
the need for activity is the new minis
ter, Paul Reinsch. Dr. Reinsch brings
to his office a keen perception of the
tremendous possibilities which await
Intelligent effort In this field and a de
sire to see the American flag bolding
its own if not topping the bunting of
other nations.
Careful Investigations have shown
him that Americans ha^e great oppor
tunities for a market which Is not only
valuable but which it is also necessary
to cultivate now in order to have It
developed when the opening of the
Panama canal will cause the westward
drift of trade to become more and more
pronounced.
The association, if It develops along
the lines the founders have In view,
will be a prod for the government It
will vigilantly protect American Inter
DR. PAUD REIN8CH. |
ests. advise the administration upon
conditions and suggest action best cal
culated to keep American commerce
moving with an upward tendency
rather than stagnating or slipping
backward.
The first desire, therefore, is for the
appointment of a commercial attache,
whose duty it will be. to report con
stantly upon commercial conditions,
journey to various centers and make
compilations which will be of material
benefit to those engaged or who wish
to engage in operations In this part of
the world.
The consuls at many ports already
contribute valuable aid in this direc
tion through their commercial reports,
but a consul Is restricted in bis sphere.
The commercial attache would have
more of a roving commission, and his
information could be first hand. Other
nations have such officials constantly
on the lookout for new avenues.
As a matter of fact this proposal is
not new. It was being investigated
by the previous administration and the
probability is that u commercial at
tache would have been at work in
China had there been no change. That
It is a desirable one Is obvious.
China Is the largest mnrket in the
world that is in process of develop
ment. Railway communication is
being pushed ahead vigorously. Within
the past year the government signed
agreements with, foreign financiers for
the construction of more mileage than
has been allotted In the past thirty
eight years.
Every other nation la striving ener
getically to lay foundations for com
mercial development, while America,
the logical supplier. Is idle. Americans
In China appreciate this to the full,
and the formation of the North China
association Is their answer to the ques
tion as to what they are doing to try
to make the home land understand that
there Is a magnificent market await
ing exploitation, but which will not be
permitted to await much longer. Other
nations are wide awake and are. se
curing the plums as fast as they can
gather them.
She Wins Halrout and Shave.
Ortley. S. D.-At a recent farmers’
Institute here business men offered
prizes for various exhibits. The Til
lage barber offered a dollar bottle of
shampoo liquid for the best exhibit of
popcorn and a shave and haircut tor
the second best Mrs. It. French won
the second prise.
