$58,000 SEEN
IAL
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 22. 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.

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
