In vestigation made today nt Olympia seems to confirm tho report that $")8,000 has been htoln from the state industrial fund by menus of forged warrants which wcro cashed by sa loonkeepers in Seattle, Taeoma mid Olympia. No arrests liavo yet been made. David Blake of Seattle, who cashed .flKiOO of the warrants, says they were drawn in regular form and there was nothing on tho face of them to indicate that anything was wrong. Hlake says he cashed tho warrants as an accommodation only and received lio money except through drinks which were bought. In each case a man whom Blake has known by sight for years came in with tho warrant holder and vouched for him. Last Janunry two warrants, aggregating $2200 wero presented at the saloon Hlake declined to cash them, but put '.hem through his bank for collection. The linnk got tho money, and Blake turned il over to tho men who pre sented tho warrants. Six separate forgeries were neces sary to make the warrants present able. It was tho practice of tho ftate industrial commission to ap prove without question all claims passed upon and approved by a claim agent. Claims number about 1500 a month. These aro investigated by t.gents.

BY FORGERS FROM N FUND HUM 1 I BLOCKADED BY ALLIED FLEET Entente Alliance Aims to Compel Greece to Repudiate Interference With Passape of Troops Rumored War Zone Around Greece Declared Cuttinrj Off All Supplies. SALONIKI, Nov. 22. It is minor- ed here that the entente allies have decided to carry tho commercial blockade to the extent of establish ing a war zone nronnd Greeco and cutting off all supplies. Greeks ex press the hope that no such drastic action will be taken. The Associated Press has learned, however, that the French authorities officially made tho strongest repre sentations to the throne respecting the necessity that Greece give assur ances of more aetivo co-operation with the allies. Denys Cochin, French minister without portfolio, who has been con ferring with Greek officials, has gono to the front. A Peaceful Blockade LONDON, Nov. 22. Tho rumors of last week that the entente allies had determined to compel Greeco to re pudiate all hints that she might in terfere with tho passngo of allied troops across her territory have been substantiated by tho inauguration of a pacific blockade. This measure is cxMclcd to elicit an immediate declaration from the Greek government clearly defining it intentions. Some dLspntchcs from Athens go so far as to say this already has been attained as a result of Fail Kitchener's confercuco with King Constantino nnd that the enrlv re ceived assurances of a satisfactory nature. Tho Hrilish government, however, has not yet intimated thnt Greece has complied with the de mnuds of the allies. Uiwco in n Quandary Greeco is 'described as prey of con flicting minors fear of Gcnnnny, whoso military successes have brought tho llalkan war theater nearer, and her natural sympathy for the cause of the allies dictating op posite paths out of ber present diffi cult neutrality. Some Greek newspa pers regard the blockade of Greeco as n violation of international law. Alliens Much Agltaicd PARIS, Nov. 22, Tho declaration of a commercial blockade of Grecen by tho cntento powers has produced a mnrked impression in Athens, par ticularly as it was unexpected. At Athens a dispatch to the Petit Jour nal says tho newspaper organs of the Greek government nceuse the allies, especially Great Hritain, of seeking to drag Greeco into tho war by harsh measures. ' Greeco cannot permit transference of tho theater of war into her own territory newspapers claim. It is suggested that tho measures taken by tho allies mny result in withdrawal of Greek troops from tho frontier or even in partial demobilization, The section of tho picas which sup ports Former Premier Vcnizelos ac cusoa the government of hnving brought on bv want of fortnight a conflict with the entente powers.
