The Greek garrison Is co-operating with French forces In defending the city.

BILL FORIpROTECTION OF AMERICAN EXPORT TRADE TO BE PUSHED Chairman Webb, of House Ju diciary Committee, Urges Its Necessity as Offset to Foreign Competition PERMITS COMBINATIONS WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. The first of tho legislative measures designed to pro tect American exporters against European competition nt tho end of the present war will bo pressed for pas.s.ige tomorrow In tho House, by Representative Webb, of North Carolina, chairman of the Committee on Judiciary. This measure, known as tho Webb export trado bill, permits tho for mation of common selling agencies for the foreign trade of tho United States, at tho Bamo tlmo placing such associations beyond the operation of the Sherman antitrust law. law. Chairman Webb Is prepared to combat every effort to sidetrack his proposition at tho session now drawing to a close. "The necessity for this legislation," said Mr. Webb today, "rests largely upon the doubt that exists In tho minds of our ox porters as to the correct construction that should be placed upon existing antitrust laws as applied to organizations engaged In export trade. In order that this country may hold the foreign trado which has been acquired during the European war, and successfully meet the competition that will be offered when the war Is over, our ex porters must be In a position to compete In the cheapest and most effectual manner. "We are Informed that the combinations of British coal brokers fix tho contract price for bunkering ships nt Newport Newb, nnd by thoso methods tho contract price has been fixed nt five to seven cents per ton below the domestic price. In the same way the copper trade of tho world has been ruled by a v.ibt German metal-buying or ganization, which ha? subsidiaries and affiliated companies In all the leading nations, and through Its operations for a number of years has bought millions of tons of American copper at prices averaging nearly a cent a pound below the price paid by American consumers. "The bill Is drawn bo as to leave In full force our anti-trust laws as applied to our own markets and as affecting difforcnt Ameiican exporters In their dealings with each other. Export trade, by forco of the methods adopted by other leading nations, Is largely a matter of competition between nations. Our home market is to be deter mined by competition between the several producers and manufacturers, NOBLEMEN DEAD FROM DRUGS; STARTS BIARRITZ SCANDAL One Arrest Already Made in Fashion able Resort PARIS, Aug. 24.
