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.
ATIIRNS, APril 17. A number of ar
rests have been made as a result of the
political riot on Sunday, in which many
shots were fired. Supporters of former
Premier Venlzelos were holding a mass,
meeting In favor of Intervention in the'
war on the Hide of tho Allies when op
poncnts of Venlzelos, who had secretly
made their way 'Intu the hall, began to
shbut, "Down with Venlzelos," "down with
tho traitors" and "long live the king."
The police cleared the hall amidst great
disorder.

sylvania. A sign "For1 Sale" on the prop
erly glvfcs notice of the proposed snle.
Dr. William M. Slowe, accounting war
den of the church, says the decision to sell
has come as a result of tho moving of so
many members of tho congregation. Ho
says there aro between 300 and 400 mem
bers, but the church attendance Is but 100,
because tho church Is not conveniently
located for them any more. Tho location
to which tho members of St. Thomas' nro
