CRISIS IN GREECE OVER ALLIES' ACT Police Court Chronicles Sunshine has fled from tho life of How ard Kent. The melodies of spring nro to him a dismal dirge. He cares not for the .pretty feathered songsters which herald " Its approach or the budding lcnres which have routed tho gloom of winter from the happy trees that border Cobb's Creek. It was by the side of this struggling stream that ho told tho girl of his heart the story which makes life worth while. Tho spark of love was reciprocated, and with Cupid hovering over them Mr. and Mrs. Howard Kent lived happily at 57th and Vino streets until a difference In appetites Jarred tho harmony. Then Cupid lied in despair. Howard liked bcof, but he wouldn't eat sausage. Sho liked fish, but sho wouldn't cnt sardines. As to vegetables, Howard only cared for potatoes nnd canned beans, while Mrs. Kent liked everything but these. Ho liked bread, but couldn't tol- k ny. ernte toast. She refused to eat anything but toast, because she had indigestion. He liked coffee, but despised tea. She drank tea three times a day. Kent would rather havo a plcklo than a pie. She de clared pickles were only fit for pigs. He smoked a pipe with a history. She hated the sight of tobacco, nnd had a more em phatic opinion concerning its odor. All of which formed the basis for vari ous forms of excitement in the House of Kent. Matters came to a rather hasty climax when Kent brought home n goat, which he declared he was minding for a friend. But intuition told the goat that he was In an unhappy atmosphere, and ho voiced his disapproval bv colliding with the brlc-a-brao on various occasions. One night Kent found the goat outside with a black eye and other indications of an argument. He called his wife aside In a tone of sup pressed wrath. "Let's call it off," he said, forgetting the Btory of Cobb's Creek. "It's already off," said she. They decided to "whack" up their house hold effects on the fifty-fifty basis. He took the kitchen table and the gas stove. She selected the utensils and the table covers. They also harmonized on sorting the dining room furniture and that of the bedroom. Kent mobilized his share of the domestic dissolution and carted it off in a wheel barrow. He left his wife the goat nnd the rent bill by way of good 'measure. He was wheeling the souvenirs of woe along Lancaster avenue when he encountered Policeman Rowland. The cop gathered htm in on general principles. No one believed Kent's story, but a po liceman who went to his home verified It. In fact, ha saw the goat taking its re venge upon the once happy home, Magistrate Stevenson listened patiently to the tale of domestic discord. "What are you going to do now?" he asked tho prisoner, "i'm going to push this stuff to Wil mington." bald the prisoner, "and live with my brother." "You can inaka a abort cut by going along Cobb's Creek." a cop suggested. "C'obb'a Creek I" gasped Kent. "I wouldn't pass that stream for all the money tn the world." STEAMSHIPS Contlnufd from Thrp One on Crete, as British and French warships n.-e now anchored oft the Island. Thoro was a conference between P-emlcr Sknutoudls and members of his Cnblnet last night, nt which n messago was read from King Constantlne. Tills message, It was Indicated by Athens ndvlces, contained the King's views upon the Allies' demand for uso of tho trans-Greek railways. Public feeling has become very high as a result of tho new crisis which faces tho country. Threatened by both alli ances. Greece Is In a perilous position. Much resentment is being expressed In of ficial circles In the Greek capital over tho latest demands of the Allied Governments. Advices from Rome announcing grow ing cordiality in the relations between Italy and Greece were received hero with high satisfaction. Dnron Sonnlno, the Italian Foreign Min ister, speaking In the chamber of deputies, announced that Italy Is not consldci Ing nny policy of conquest In tho Balkans nt thlR time. The occupation of Kplrus by Italian troops, Bron Sonnlno said, was merely temporary, ana was mane necessary ly military exigencies, itowev.r, tho Italian Foreign Minister refused to speak on Italy's foreign policy to any great, extent, saying that tho enemy might profit by It If ho did ho. Speaking of tho part' Italy had played in helping save the Servian nrmy, the Serb refugees nnd the AuBtro-Hungnrlan pris oners in tho hands of tho Serbs, Bnron Sonnlno said: "The Italian navy transported 250,000 persons. In addition to the transports It wns necessary for us to furnish convoys of warships." Tho Foreign Minister said thnt the rela tions between Italy nnd Russia were much Improved, and announced that Italy would be represented on the permanent commit tee which the Allies are establishing In Ll'arls to prevent supplies of any kind rrom reaching Germany from any source whatsoever outside of tne territory held by tho Teutonic allies.
