State officials have taken steps to get BOO cots here to morrow to relieve the sufferers. A savage fight, wherein the local fire companies," backed by fire fight ing forces from Kinston and Wash ington, N.

St. Louis. Dec. 1. St. Louis was gayly decked out In French and American flags tonight to do honor to Georges Clemenceau, Tiger of France, who arrived here this morn ing on his good'-will-for-France tour of America. For miles through the business section, where he will ride in a parade tomorrow prior lo his address, every trolley wire support had been draped from sidewalk to sidewalk with the red, white and blue of the two republics he hopes to weld closer. Clemenceau, resting at the country home of Joseph Pulltser, publisher, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was un der heavy guard. Uniformed police men, with riot guns on their shoul ders walked post about the house. In side, two plain clothes men kept vigil. Chief of Police O'Brien Instated the precautions were merely the usual ones. He declared he did not even know of four letters threatening the Tiger which have been received by Mayor Kiel. The almost secretive manner' In which Clemenceau was escorted from his train to the Pullt ser home also had no significance, the chief said. It was merely planned so as to relieve the aged war pre mier of rhe strain of a big recep tion. swads Unlet Uar. The Tiger spent almost the entire day In the Pulltser home. Mr., and Mrs. Pulltser took him for a two hour ride along the Mississippi river. "1 see the father of waters is still there," was his comment. This di version and a ltttle.walk about the Pulltser estate were" his only activi ties. The Tiger's defense of the service of black troops In the war In connec tion with his controversy with Sen ator Hitchcock over the presence of negroes on the Rhine, brought a re action this" afternoon that pleased him greatly. Kot long after his arrival, dele gates of tho negro cltisens' committee of St. Louis called at the Pulltser home and left him a huge bouquet of American Beauty roses. The card read: "In honor and esteem of your life service to your own people, and for your! noble sentiment fearlessly ex pressed as to the meritorious serv ice rendered by ngro troops. ,"Vlve La France." A letter accompanying the flowers said in part: x , ",We feel safe in saying to mag nanimous France that In any future call for- armed assistance against a common danger, the , negroes of- America will eagerly respond to save Franoe and her splendid Ideals from destruction.

At the same time It was declared that the American government does not believe any action or non-action on Its part had any effeot on the situation In Greece. This statement was made on behalf of the executive as the result of a letter he has re ceived from Pjixton Hibben, who is now in this country after a residence of several yeara In the ' near east. Although, no further comment was made at the White House on the let ter, It Is undestood that Mr. Hibben took the position that if the United States had recognized the Constan tly government subsequent events, such as the execution of former cab inet ministers would never have oc curred.

VENIZELOS IS SILENT Former Premier Declares That He Is Forever Through With National Politics. NATION IS REORGANIZING Thanks Americans for Coming to the AJd of Tboasands of Refu gees Fleeing From Devas tated Rearloifs. Lausanne, Dec. 1. (By Associated Press). M. Venlzelos, the former Greek premier, receiving the corre spondent of the Associated Press to day, declined to comment on the Athenian executions, but General Mazarakls, who represented Greece at the Nrudanta conference, declared In an Interview that the Grecian min isters were put to death because they were found guilty, after a fair trial of criminal betrayal of the Grecian nation. General Mazarakls was recently summoned from Athens by Venlzelos as a military expert, to adviae him on technical subjects, coming up at the Lausanne conference. He is chief of staff of the Greek army in Thrace and may be said to represent the opin ions of the Grecian revolution, if not those of Venlzelos himself. When asked for his views, M. Venl zelos said: "I am finally and definitely out of Grecian politics. I sm doing what I can to help my country abroad In this great orlsls In which we are plunged, but It Is not for me to meddle In home affairs, nor ex press an opinion either approving or disapproving the recent incidents at Athens. It would only lead to mls- underatandlnga." Try to gave Prince. The British government. It is learned here, Is exerting every pos sible effort to prevent the execution of or any serious punishment being Imposed upon Prince Andrew, brother of former King Constantlne. Prince Andrew commanded a division of the qreek army in the Asia-Minor cam paign and is to be tried by court martial on a charge of disobeying an order to advance and support the right wing, which, being unsunnort- ad, was obliged to give way, thus leading to the failure of the whole campaign before the SangarluS river. General Masarakla expressed the opinion that Prince 'Andrew would not be executed, or punished: he be lieved also that Greece would not at thia time pass upon the question of establishing a republic. "We are In a terrible national crisis." ha said, "and we are devot ing ourselves entirely to reorganis ing and purifying our national Ufa and our economic existence. Now, a revolution la always an abnormal movement: It does unusual, some times harsh things. World hlsbpry shows thst, and the Grecian revolu tion shows the same attrlbutea. Our national revolution was driven log ically and relentlessly towards the Imposition of death sentences be cause an Impartial and searching in vestigation demonstrated the guilt of several ministers of state who were seeking only to keep Constantlne on the throne and perpetuate Con stantlsm, and treasonably betrayed the army and the people. "Theae men and the military lead ers, who, knowing full well the real condition of the Greek army, refuaed to Insist upon discontinuance of the campaign in Asia-Minor, were respon sible for -the present Grecian disas ter, which haa entailed the loss of half of our real national life, brought economic ruin and driven a million homeless refugeees to our doors. Happily the American people came to the succor of these refugees, and It Is largely because of that wonder ful American charity and sympathy that the Grecian revolution does not wish to have Itself misunderstood In the United States.

Leaving the con vention city open for the 1823 as sembly, the North Carolina teachers adjourned this evening with the final address by Dr. Henry vsn Dyke on "Poetry and Nature." Miss Elisabeth Kelly was elected president and Juls B. Warren secre tary after quite a bit of agitation against a non-profeeslonallst in .such a position. Such fight as developed against Mr. Warren was Impersonal and It was presented in the form of an attack on the constitutionality of an act making an outsider secre tary. The argument was led by Su perintendent Charles L. Coon. Fred Archer, city superintendent of Greensboro schools, was chosen vice-president of the North Carolina Teachers assembly today In a sharp contest which required his beating 21 contestants. The vice-presidency Is always the big politics of the convention and Mr. Archer's winning made neces sary beating such men as Taylor Att more, county superintendent of Pam lico, and City Superintendent Win gate Andrews, of Salisbury. The rat ification of this act today Is always one of the perfunctory performances of the coming assembly. Elevation to the vice-presidency slwsys pre cedes the "high election. High Compliment For Miss Kelly. Miss Elizabeth Kelly. who was chosen president and Introduced to night, received 110 'of the 117 votes In the delegated body.

The assembly worked In groups all day. having no public meetings until tonight when Dr. van Dkye spoke In the city auditorium. The attendance has apparently broken tne recora, but each convention year does that. Dr. van likye was the special guest of the Klwanlans and spoke this afternoon at the luncheon to teach ers aiven by the club at the Bland Hotel.

(123 Albe Buildlni (Bj Lund Win) By W. A. HILDEBRAND. Washington, Dec. 1. Political Washington evinced considerable In terest In the conclave of the pro gressives, or non-partlaan or Inde pendents, or whatever they finally conclude to call themselves. This question of "what's In a name" Is known to have received no little at tention. There Is doubt as to what Import ance Is to be attached to the act of the conference In perfecting the re organization of a progressive bloc. When gentlemen talk about how they are to "drive special privilege out of control of the government, and re store it vO the people," the re-Sjh:-tlon la not taken very seriously, he-, cause the thing is too vague and nebulous. Republicans and Demo crats In good and regular standing say they, to?, are for the people nnd against the special interests. Even the farmers do not agee as to the best method of handling Ihe railroads. Some wane to alns'i freight rate-, while other spokesmen of the agricultural Interests ay It Is rime to ston railroad a1ilsg and co operate, tnd that the latter course will have to be adopted if the very serious trarspor.it'oii problems of the country are to be solved. It Is not considered likly, therefore that the progressives of the several rrndec and brands will agreo to remedies when confronted w in the actutil task of licking leglu u.un tmo ulinpe. At the meeting today It was agreed that the progressives uhould deal with the subjects of agriculture, la bor, railroads, shipping, natural re sources, credits, taxation and amend ments to the constitution looking to the abolishment of the electoral col lege and the earlier meeting of newly-elected Congresses. Wonder at Prihable WIfrrt But while doubt Is felt wftethor the new bloc Is going to remove all cur national Ills within the next few weeks. Interest Is felt In the current activities of the progressive gentle ment, because men ar wondrlng what the effect of the mr-vrnont will be itpcn tho next prestderifUl campaign. The Democrats are wishing the move ment well, and many of them will ," far In offering encouragement, but not too far. Their Idea is t get another Bull Moose enterprise undr way if possible, because Ihey think that under such circumstances Mr. Harding would he an easier man to defeat than was Mr. Taft. They share the view of a number of Republicans that Mr. LaFoMette protests over much In the matter of the third party. The Wisconsin senator In sists that a third party movement is not In contemplation, but It la hard for the stalwarts of the two old par ties to believe this. What they think Is that Mr. LaFollette only awaits the arrival of a more convenient season, a more opportune and promising mo ment to move Into the open aa the standard bearer of a brand-new party. Many think It would not con tribute at all to the happiness of Mr. IaFollette for both the old parties to adopt aa their own the program sug gested at the end of today's confer ence. Ward Attends Meeting Representative Ward waa the only North Carolina man lo participate In today's conference, which waa at- I tended, he thought, by about aa many Democrats as Republicans, and was held In one of the capltol committee rooms, Mr. Ward was unaware of why he, alone among his compatriots o( the state delegation, ahould have been honored with an Invitation. Messrs. Weaver, Doughton, Lyon and others did not think they would have cared to attend If Invited. Mr. Ward made It plain that he had attended the meeting without any Idea of compromising In any way bta posi tion as a genuine Democrat. He thought the chief object of the first conference was-to establish an Inde pendent publicity bureau and the North Carolina member has an idea his party will favor a number of measures suggested by the progres sives. He does not think much of the idea of electing the President of the 1'nttcd fltatea by direct popular vote. The net result of this, he thought. i would be to land Henry Ford in the 1 U'hii linn Mr. Ward said he did not hear any third party talk at the first meeting.
