The Government of France bought most of these goods at knock down prices, and now seeks to re-ship them to this country and do a little profiteering on them. (By Associated Press.) Constantinople, Aug. 23. The British airmen, brought down within Turkish lines are held prisoner, on the assump tion that they were aiding the Greeks.

FREE DISTRIBUTION OF ment of the campaign to reduce gov ernmental expenses; to give this a tone of seriousness and to cinch it by the matter-of-fact, plain-spoken, non political statement of the Secretary of the Treasury as to the financial situation. Just how to save $600,000, 000 may not yet be settled, but it is. settled, .but it is that it must be sav ed. What has gone before through the efforts of General Dawes, has al so demonstrated that about $100,000 000 is the limit of all that can ba expected from administrative econ omies that would not in fact be ex travagances.

The only charges made by the Government will be for packing and transportation. "Picric acid," says the depart ment's announcement, "is a compara tively safe high explosive.
