( Counter Attack Stops Advance Of Greeks' Army . . a n ti ri viuusidUUIlC 0 K UrtCH J1HVC Vil- tained Great Success, But Allies Do Not Consider Decision Readied. Constantinople, July 26. (By the Associated Press. The Turks have halted 40 miles east of Eski-Shehr, at the l'ass of Altikeuk, and also at Scid-El-Ghazi, where a counter of fensive stopped the Greeks' advance. There seems to be no doubt that the Greeks obtained an important initial success in the taking of Ku taia and Eski-Shehr, due to their great superiority in artillery. Allied military observers, however, do not y.onsider that a decision has been reached in the fighting. Eski-Shehr, Asia Minor, July 26. (By the Associated, Press.) The Greeks entered Eski-Shehr headed by Prince Andrew, but did not stop here. They continue' their pursuit cf the retreating Turks into the open plains beyond the city. Was Rapid Advance. The Greek advance was made with the utmost rapidity. By night, its path was lighted by scores of im mense blazes all along the road and up the mountain side, consisting of burning villages, which had been fired by the retiring nationalists. From Ainegul on, In a radius of 50 miles around Eski-Shehr, few vil lages are left. Turkish prisoners say it is the purpose of M.istapha Kemal Tasha, if he must withdraw in this district, to leave the Greeks nothing but homeless refugees to teed. The roads are choked with flee ing Turkish refugees from burning villages, making their w-" toward Brussa on butfalo carts, on asses, and afoot, with nothing but hastily gathered intimate belongings. They said their villages were taken and looted by the nationalist soldiers be fore being fired. Thus, whole ecommunities are migrating as units in groups of 2,000 and 3,000 each, greatly impeding the supply service of the Greek army and rendering the coutvjryside un safe. The crops in the fields along the path of the Hellenic army's advance have. been left unharvested by the dispersed and terrified villagers. This presages famine during the coming winter, as the utmost efforts are required on the part of the Greeks to supply its army alone from its base at the Piraeus. Every Greek soldier is being used in the military operations, the police work at Brussa, and Mudana being done by sailors of the Greek fleet. As the soldiers are required in the front line service, none is available ( to harvest the ungarnered grain. The near east relief already is 'V caring for-7,000 Greeks, 4,000 Arme nians and 3,000 Turkish refugees in Brussa and are making efforts to meet the appalling new needs cre ated by the recent military develop ments., , - i Box Office at Fight In New York Is Robbed New York. July 26. As the lights in the rotunda at the entrance of Eb bets field, Brooklyn, went out last night, just before the beginning of the bout between Joe Lynch and Pete Herman for the bantamweight championship, three men in the pres ence of 2,000 persons, seeking to buy tickets, held up the ticket-seller at window 13, snatched all the bills within reach, and made their escape in the semi-darkness. The exact amount of the robbery could not be ascertained, but Charles E. Ebbets, jr., secretary of the Brooklyn base ball club, owner of the field, admitted that it amounted to at least $800.

Shrewd Salesmanship Sells $1,000,000 Worth of Mississippi Bonds New York, July 26. Wall street is telling a story of shrewd sales manship by Erank Robertson, at torney general of Mississippi, in dis posing of $1,000,000 worth of state bonds. The issue, which was for a tuberculosis sanitarium, was of fered at par, with S'A per cent in terest. Bankers were not interested because they felt the terms were too low under present conditions. Mr. Robrtson went to life insur. ance companies and argued that it would be good business for them to invest as the bonds would help pro long the lives of policy holders. The appeal was effective. Herman Regains Bantam Honors Trounces Former Champion, Joe Lynch, in 15-Round Wrangle at Brooklyn. Chicago Trlbune-Omana Hee Leased Wire. Brooklyn, July 26. rcte Herman regained the bantamweight cham pionship by soundly trouncing Joe Lynch in IS rounds at Ebbetts field last night. Herman led right from the opening bell and except for a few flashes here and then:, when Lynch managed to rock the little Italian with rights to the jaw, Lynch slowly but surely was passing back the title to Herman. The weight of both boys was an nounced at 116 pounds. In the very first round Herman stepped right out and rapped Joseph with a series of left and right smashes to the face. During one of the warm scrimmages in the opening frame Lynch went to the floor. During the rest of the journey Joseph had the utmojt respect for the sharp shots being sent through by Herman, In the tecond round Lynch managed to grab Peter with a hard straight punch to the jaw. Her man reeled back and fell against the ropes. It was noticeable from the fourth round Lynch did very little execution with his right hand, depending al most exclusively on his south paw in tiying to offset the vicious attacks of his smaller opponent. It was re ported at the end of the fight that Lynch had fractured a small bone in his right hand during the third round and he was compelled to favor that member considerably afterward. From the seventh round it was all Herman. He rocked and staggered Lynch with ripping uppercuts, ac companied by hard right smashes to the head. Joe leaped at Herman, throwing all caution to the winds, and tried with his both hands to bring down Peter, but the latter was too strong for him. Again in the last two rounds Lynch tried hard in face of the odds against him to turn the tide, but Herman had too much in his favor and Joe made his try in the last two jumps from home. Pete had enough left to turn him back and at the fii.al bell the judges were unanimous in voting for Herman and restoring to him once more the coveted bantam weight championship of the world.

Harding to Take Short Vacation At Home of Weeks Will Devote Several Days En tirely to Recreation Follow ing an Address at Pil grim Tercentenary Washington, July 26. A vacation of several days in the White moun tains of New Hampshire is planned by President and Mrs. Harding to follow their attendance next Mon day at the Pilgrim tercentenary cele bration at Plymouth, Mass. During their outing they are to be guests of Secretary Weeks of the War depart ment at his country place, near Lan caster, N. H. Under present plans, they will go directly there from Plymouth, arriv ing a week from today and probably remaining until the following Satur day or Sunday. During the stay, the president expects to accept no invi tations but to devote his whole time to rest and recreation. Make Trip on Yacht It is hoped to make the trip to New England and back on the presi dential yacht Mayflower. The president is to make but one address at Plymouth as part of the program, t-arly in the day he will review a military and civic parade and during the evening will attend the pageant depicting the landing of tne rngnms. Lancaster, N. H., July 26. Presi dent Harding will be far from the madding crowd when he comes to the summer home of Secretary Weeks here next week. The Weeks' lodge is at the top of Mount Pros pect, 2,000 feet above sea level, and 1,240 feet higher than this bustling little border town. It commands a view of all the principal peaks of the White mountains, and also of the Connecticut river, with its right bank in New Hampshire and Vermont on its left. The view from the observa tion tower which Secretary Weeks has set un near his lodge, has been declared to be the most satisfactory in all the mountain country. It will be no new scene to the president, however, for as a fellow senator with Mr. Weeks he was a member of a party that came here from Washington several years ago and enjoyed a stay at the Mount Prospect lodge. In 1918 he came here again as a chautauqua lecturer and renewed his acquaintance with the peaks, notches and intervales. Building his summer home in the town where he was born a farmer's boy, Mr. Weeks at much expense set up a two-story structure atop the mountain with seven chambers, din ing room and kitchen on the first floor, and on the second one large room with two fireplaces and four balconies. Wholesale Decline In Prices Slows Up Washington, July 26. Wholesale prices in the United States, according to figures compiled by the federal re serve board for the purpose of inter national comparisons, showed a de cline of prices during June of 2 per cent, against 5 per cent during May. On the basis of prices in 1913 equal to the index number 100, commodi ties imported shifted from an index number of 105 during May to 102 during June. Prices of exports also declined from 125 in May to 122 in June. The all-commodities index stands at 139, as compared with 142 in May. This index number is compiled from 90 wholesale price quotations for representative commodities taken in leading United States markets. In most cases weekly quotations are averaged to obtain the monthly figures, and these in turn are weight ed according to the importance of the commodity, thjen the next num ber is constructed.

Youth Sticks His Arm Into Hydrant; Suction Holds It; Dad Spanks New York, July 26. The Dutch boy who plugged up a hole in the dike with his hand and saved all Holland is a prototype of 5-year-pld Davey McCluskey of Harlem. Davey's arm got stuck in a fire hy drant for half, an hour before six firemen took the hydrant apart and freed him. Davey and some chums found the cap of the hydrant loose and un crewed it. Davey shoved his left arm in up to the shoulder. When he tried to withdraw it he couldn't because of the suction. He did not even whimper while being rescued and the firemen shook hands with hiin and called him a "game little kid." But McCluskey, sr., happened along and Davey's reward was dif ferent than the Dutch boy's. Japanese to Act On Harding Plan Definite Action Regarding Disarmament Acceptance Is Anticipated. Tokio, July 26. (By The As sociated Press.) Official circles last night were disposed to forecast def inite action by the Japanese cabinet today in acceptance of President Harding's suggestion for a far east ern conference. Apparently the talks between Ambassador Shide hara and Secretary of State Hughes in Washington have gone far toward clarifying the situation. According to Japan's understand ing of the American viewpoint as given out here, America's idea is to make the basis of the conference a broad discussion of policies and principles, although each participant would have the right to introduce Specific subjects if they were ger mane to the principle under discus sion, and if the powers generally in the Pacific were affected. The idea is said to prevail that questions af fecting two powers should be left, wherever possible, to the powers concerned.

London, July 26. The allied su preme council will meet in Paris August 4, according to an official an nouncement this morning. It is un derstood the session will be brief, dealing only with the Silesian ques tion. Marquis Curzon, secretary of state for foreign affairs, and A. J. Balfour, lord president of the council, will represent Great Britain, as it is im probable Premier Lloyd George will be able to leave London. The British experts who will ex amine the Silesian question before the council meeting already have left for Pans. It is understood that Ambassador Harvey will attend the supreme council sessions in an advisory and unofficial capacity. The call for this meeting of the supreme council compromises, to a degree, the differences between Great Britain and France over the pro cedure to be adopted in connection with upper Silesia, where the situa tion owing to the continued German and Polish rivalries in the disputed area is said to be increasingly threat ening. A dispatch from Paris Monday night indicated that Great Britain had agreed to a meeting of the su preme council August 4 and a pre liminary examination into the upper Silesian question by a committee of experts as France h?s desired.

Harding Urges Probe Of Pellagra Epidemic In Southern States Washington, July 2 . Alarmed at reports of a' semi-famine, coupled with an epidemic of pellagra in a large section of the southern cotton belt, President . Harding today re quested both the public health serv ice and the American Red Cross to make immediate investigation and report what could be done by the federal government. The fullest co-operation of all federal agencies in the relief meas ures was promised by the president, who declared, if found necessary, congress would be asked to pass spe cial legislation. He urged that no time be lost in ascertaining condi tions and applying to them an effec tive remedy. "The threat of famine and plague," the president wrote, "seemed to arise from the fact that depressed markets had made it impossible for the people of a large section to sell their stocks of cotton. "The resulting shortage of money, he said, apparently had de prived many thousands of the variety of food necessary to ward off pel lagra."
