COTTON SEED FOR FOOD
( otton Seed Crushers Would Do
Their Hit,
A committee representing the Inter-State
Cottonseed Crushers' As
sociation, in Washington a few days
ago, offered to the government the
entire facilities of the organization
for the period of the war. They also
called on Herbert C. Hoover and eni
phasjzed the possibilities of the cot
ton yield as a food crop, and declar
ed the government had under-estimated
its value in the food growing
campaign.
Mt. Hoover was told that the cot
ton crop was otic of the nation's
h . . . ' .
most, looii sources and
that an ordi
.1 to the cot-appro.imat'.'-
nary acreage in additi;

seed oil, 2,22.",O()0 tons of meal, 1,
200,(1(10 tons of hulls and 1 .20(1,000
bales of lintels, the latter invalua
ble for ammunition. Besides tin
great value of the meal for -unnial
food, it was slated that rec: :.t experiment-
had shown 2o pel cei.t. of
cotton seed flour mixed with l;0 per
cent, of wheat or corn would make a
palatable and highly nutritious
bread, thus greatly reducing the de
mand on the corn and wheat supply.
In the 11 cotton States, the com
mittee told Mr. Hoover, a savin of
100,000,000 bushels of corn could' be
made by mixing two pounds of cot
ton seed meal in the -food of each
horse or mule( This would replace
four pounds q jhe 14 pounds of corn
fed each animal daily. The meal
they said, was less than half the cost
of corn.
The crop of 1915, it was said, pro
duced 107,000,000 gallons of vegeta
ble fats and butters, of which 987,
1 794,000 pounds was converted into
I edible oils, cooking fats and butters.
If one-third the oil now going into
soap and cheap industrial products
could be diverted into food products
it would add $400,000,000 to 500,
000,000 pounds of the nation's sup
ply of fats.

KING OF GREECE
; LEAVES THRONE
ADBICATES IN FAVOR OF HIS
SON CRISIS IN HELENIC
KINGDOM'S AFFAIRS DATING
BACK TO BEGINNING OF WAR.
Athens, June 12, via Paris The
fall of Constantine, king of the Hel
lenes, has come. In response to the
demand of the protecting powers,
France, Great Britain and Russia, he
abdicated today in favor 01 his se
cond ,,uti, Prince Alexander.
The climax in the affairs of Grcetv
was brought - about through the ag
ency of the French senator, M. Jon
nart, who has held posts ie several
French cabinets, and who arrived at
Atnens only a day or two ago on a
special mission as the representative
oi France, Great Britain and Kir.sh.
M. Jonnart had previously visited Sa
loniki and other points, ami he lo-1
no time in getting into conference
with Premier Alexander Zainns, The
demands of the powers respecting
the abdication of King Constitntir.o
al-o specifically eliminated Crown
Prince George as hi.; successor, the
crown prince being included among
those in official life who were consid
ered strongly pro-German.
Both the former king and Prince
George, it was announced today by
Premier Zaimis, intend to leave the
country immediately. It is reported
that they will embark on a British
warship and proceed to Switzerland
by way of Italy. It is presumed that
Prince Alexander will take up his
kingly duties with full acceptation of
the ideas which the protecting pow
ers desire Jo be put into effect in the
government of Greece during the pre
sent war. He is twenty-four years
old and has been free from anti-en-ente
proclivities.
Trouble Since War Began
Affairs ,n Greece, which several
imes since the outbreak of the war
had seemed on the verge of a settle
ment, recently have taken on such an
mem, 1c11r111.IV jimvc lancjl im SUCH ail
. u 4 u
aspect of uncertainty that it became
' , . ' . . ...
necessary for the powers to act with
decision. M. Jonnart was selected to
proceed to Athens for the purpose of
laying before the premier the aims
which France.Great Britain and Rus
sia had with respect to establishing
Unityrf feeling among the Greeks
and greater security for the entente
forces engaged in operations in the
east.
M. Ziamis recognized the disinter
estedness of the powers, whose sole
object was to reconstitute the unity
of Greece Under the constitution, but
he pointed out to M. Jonnart that a
decision could only be taken by the
king after a meeting of the crown
council, composed of former premi
ers. It was not until 9:30 o'clock this
morning that the premier communi
cated to the commissioner of the al
lied powers the king's answer in the
following letter: ,
lltt Minister High (commissioner
of France. Great Britain and Russia s
"W.in &ifl ttvSour Bott'of
yesterday the abdication of his maj
esty. King Constantine, and the nom
ination of his successor, the under
signed .premier and foreign minister,
has the honor to -inform your excel
lency that his majesty, the king, ever
solicitous Tor the interests of
Greece, has decided to leave the coun
try with the prince royal and nomi
nates. Prince Alexander as his suc
cessor. "ZAIMIS.
Prior to the announcement of the
king's decision, many Greeks, loyal
Jo the crown, gathered for the pro
tection of the sovereign. Monday
night two thousand reservists formed
a cordon around the palace in his de
fense, if that should be necessary,
and a delegation, headed by Naval
Commander Mavrominchaelis was re
ceived by Constantine and pledged
the devotion of the army and the peo
ple to his cause. The king's only re
ply was an appeal that they should
remain calm.
All efforts of agitators to start a
manifestation failed, and the army
officers announced their intention to
obey the order of the government and
take no part in any demonstrations
and to maintain peace.
Agitators were still attempting to
operate the streets of Athens tonight,
but here were no disorders and ev
erything leads to the belief that
there will be none.

Registered Men May Enlist
Richmond Times-Dispatch.
General Crowder, provost-marshal-
general, has cleared up a point a
bout which there should never have
been any confusion, in ruling that a
man who has registered may, before
he is drafted, enlist in any branch of
the service he may select. Such con
fusion on the question as existed a
rose, perhaps, out of the theory that,
after liavini: !tej3ledi'each man
pwaa subjeu to wnatever duty ne
nnlsTt bashrned e and that nia
right to select was held in abeyance
until after the draft Out of the 10,
000,000 registered, however, only a
percentage will be drafted. There is
no reason why a man should not be
allowed to pake sure of doing service
to which it is only possible he may De
called.
ye&els Sunk
The weekly report of the British
admiralty concerning British smp-
ine losses by mines or submarines
says that 15 vessels of 1,600 tons and
over and three vessels under 1,600
tons and five fishing vessels were
sunk last week.
This report, compared with that
of the previous week, shows a de
crease of three in vessels of 1,600
tons and over sunk, but an increase
of two in the category of less than
1,600 tons. The previous week s re
port announced the sinking of 18
vessels of 1,600 tons and over, and of
one vessel of less than 1,600 tons.
The new report shows an increase
of three in the number of fishing ves
sels sunk five as against two the
previous week.
