Constantine will not relinquish his
claim to the Greek throne- in favor

Greece." Professor Streit added.
Constantine received this morning
his first official communication from'
Premier Rhallis of Greece, on last
Sunday's plebiscite, favoring Constan
tlne's return to the throne. The pre
mier's telcgranl described the state
of public opinion. In Greece on Con
stantino's return and added:
"In your majesty the Greek people
.find an emblem of national unity.".
The message gave : incomplete re
turns of the plebiscite, indicating a
tremendous vote in favor of Constan
tine, but embodied no plans for ,his
return. These, the premier said, would

ATHENS, Djc. 8. (By the Associ
ated Press.) The plans to have ex
King Constantine return to Greece
this .week appeared today to have
been abandoned. The decision of the
government apparently was to con
tinue its "wait and see" policy with
the tendency to leave the decision as
to Constantino's return to the throne
with the ex-king himself.
The financial pressure of the Brit
ish upon the government which has
been, exerted against the plan to re
store Constantine, appears to have
become stronger.
15x-Premier Gounaris, leader in the
movement which led to the downfall
of Venizclos, has appealed to Ven

posts.

PROBE T0JBE RESUMED

War Deal to Be Investigated.
THK OHEGOXIAX NEWS BU
REAU. Washington, Dec. 8. Repre
sentative C. It. Reavis of Nebraska,
chairman of the sub-committee of the
Graham war Investigating committee
which probed the transactions of the
Pacif'.c coast salrtion packers with the
government during and after the war,
has been authorized by the full com
mittee to resume the inquiry.
He has been directed to get to
gether the evidence for starting
prosecutions, it is understood, to in
clude several charges. One charge in
volves the sale of alleged bad salmon
for which it was said the government
was never adequately Reimbursed.
Another charge relates to the sale of
the salmon left on the government's
hands at the close of the war. This
was turned back to the salmon pack
ers and It is alleged that they resold
it to distributors throughout the
country at profits In violation of the
Lever act.
In addition to evidence developed
by the Reavis hearings, it is under
stood that the income-tax returns of
some of the salmon packers for last
year may be used against them.
Chairman Reavis will call the sub
committeetogether immediately after
the Christmas holidays to resume the
inquiry. '

NEW YORK, Dec 8. Officials of
two of the largest construction cor
porations In tne United States, with
a combined business approaching
1 00,000,000 a year, testified in the
"building trust" investigation today
that be'fore the Lockwood legislative
inquiry began it was impossible to ob
tain competitive bids in nearly a
dozen lines of materials.
Contractors for sand, gravel, mar
ble, plumbing, limestone, brick, ce
ment, lime, crushed stone and fire
proofing work invariably turned In
identical estimates, "while the lum
ber trade was pretty well lined up
with prices uniform," they said, j
Only an insignificant part of the
sand business of New York 2000 cu
bic yards out of 1,000,000 cubic yards
brought monthly to the metropolis
is hiuidled by a concern outside the
"board of trade," which it was testi
fied had fixed and boosted prices.
Prices of brick have toppled, the
testimony showed, "from the fictitious
level of $32.50" down to $15 sinee -the
Investigation began bombarding 'the
alleged combines.
The Thompson-Starrett company,
which built the Woolworth and Equi
table'Life skyscrapers and which does
an annual business of $60,0.00.000,
found It futile to. seek competitive
bids InNew York, Louis Horowltz,its
president, testified.
His revelations of identical esti
mates were supported by James A.
Mears, vice-president of the Fred T.
Ley company, which lias $16,000,000
worth of construction under way here
at present.
Structural steel, one of the few im
portant building materials which they
did not mention as controlled locally,
cannot be had by the Thompson-Starrett
company because it does not op
erate under an "open shop." Mr. Horo
witz said. The manufacturers of
structural steel forbid It to be sold
to construction companies handling
their labor on a closed-shop basis, he
added.

Favorable Review of Book Written
by Bernard Baruch Hints at
' Possibility of Remission.
(Copyright by the Xew'Tork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement. )
LONDON, Dec. 8. (Special cable.)
Bernard Baruch's book on the peace
conference received a column edito
rial and a two-column review in the
Manchester Guardian, both articles
mostly of approval and agreement.
The review was written by J. M.
Keynes, an Oxford economist, who re
signed as tne British financial expert
at "Versailles and afterward wrote a
book attacking the allied reparation
claims as impossibly large.
His figures thereon agree with Mr.
Baruch's, but the most interesting
point about both the editorial and the
review is the anxious reference to th
question of any possibility of Amer
ican remission of the British debt.

The Guardian after suggesting that
President-Wilson might have won the
reparation point if he had appealed
to the allied peoples, says:
"But it would not nave been enough
to appeal without giving some proof
tHat America also was roady to make
some sacrifices. America should hav
bfcen willing to forgro something. If
si:c had .1ined with Great Britain
in remitting: the debts of the con
tinent, an appeal from President Wil
son 'would have found an immediate
and overwhelming answer."
Keynes on the same point writes,
"If the American delegation had gone
too far in pressing the allies to abate
their claims on the enemy, they might
have laid . themselves open to awk
v. ard pressure from the allies to be
a'lowed corresponding'abatements in
wrStt they, themselves owed the
United Slates. If Germany could pay
so little, could the allies pay so
much?"
These references to the British
deot to America are becoming in
creasingly frequent here and reflect
the growing anxiety In official and
business circles over the questions
connected with the funding and re
payment of the loans.

IS FIERY, ITCHY OR

. Just the moment you apply Mentho
Sulphur to an Itening.. burning or

and healing begins, say a a noted skin
specialist. The sulphur preparation,
made into a pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief, even to. fiery ec
zema, that nothing has ever been
found to take its place.
Because . of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the Irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving a clear,
