She broke from her moorings during the storm and was driven ashore. Her crew: of forty was rescued by breeches buoys. Tugs tried in vain to pull the Eden from her perilous position, but an eighty-mile wind which swept the channel finally forced the tugs to seek safety themselves. The English channel is being whipped by one of the fiercest storms in recent years. Tremendous waves are washing the wreckage of many boats upon the shores and several bodies have also been recovered. It is impossible at this time to learn the full extent of the storm, but shipping circles are greatly alarmed for the safety of vessels and crews. The steamship Laurie was lost near Corunna, Spain, according to advices received here, and her crew of thirty drowned. The Italian steamer Giupusco foundered near Bilbao, Spain, and sev- eral of her crew were lost, being washed from the decks before the life- boats could be manned. 1 hAY’ER’S HA!R VIGOR Ingredients : 5.:’.:‘&.2".;.;%%%;3,. wpodinm cowortd. ~Show this to your doctor.

TROOPS READY FOR CLASH Serious Disorders Expected to Occur in Greece. Athens, Jan. 29.—Troops are being held in the barracks here in anticipa- tion of serious disorders growing out of the almost open rupture between King George and the Military league, which is the real ruler of Greece. ‘While the Military league could easily force the abdication of the king it is afraid to do so, as such action would almost certainly result in civil war. The league is therefore urging the king to retain his throne and is proposing a settlement of the present difficulties by means of a national con- vention, to which will be entrusted the work of overhauling the fundamental law of Greece. King George declares the constitu- tion does not allow such a law with- out the votes of two successive parlia- ments. The league is not willing to wait this long. Even were the league’s. proposal constitutional King George says the league’s record is such that he could not get their assurances to abide by the convention’s decision. An agreement between the king and the league is altogether unlikely, though negotiations are still being carried on. IN VAULT FOR THREE HOURS Indiana Banker Accidentally Impris- ons Young Daughter.
