By the Associated Press. S.ONDON, October 4.—Former Pre- mier Venizelos of Greece. in a long letter to the Times protesting against the return of Thr the Turks, who. since the beginning of the war. he decla h, destroyed in Asia Minor more than a million and a half Armenian vs: “If it is necassary to give further guarantees to Kemal that the prom- ise concerning the réturn of eastern Thrace will meet with no obstacle in its execution, this province could as a last resort. be occupled by allied troops until evecution of the treaty. 1f Kemal withdraws from the neutral zome. and the Rritish troops are thus freed from the pres- upon them, cient force. n conjunction with detachments of troops belonging to the other allied . whose contingents are rel mall, to occupy the whole of eastern Thrace. his military cupation would give them the power and the right of absolute control of the Greek ad- ministration. so that all Turk fears regarding security of their co- religionists might he allayed.

Man in “Washington Resigning His Commission” Is Identified. To the Bditor of The Star: ‘Who is the man standing behind the girls in the foreground of Trum- bull's picture of “Washington Resign- ing His Commission,” and who appear to have five hands between them? An account of this picture in a re- cent issue of The Star points out the fact that the fifth hand belongs to the man standing behind the girls. But who is the man? And what right had he to have his arm around that girl’s waist, and in public, too? About ten years ago, after vears of search in books and Inquiry among old citizens, T stumbled across the an- swer to this query. I found a large volume giving the history of the building of the Capitol. It is given up largely to lithographic copies of the designs presented by various ar- chitects for the erection of the Capi- tol. Besides, there are steel engrav- ings of the several paintings adorn- ing the walls of the rotunda. Opposite Trumbull's picture there is a dummy giving” the names of many of the persons shown in the picture, for they are portraits of members of Congress and of Washington's per- sonal friends. Who is the man and who are the girls? The man s Charles Carroll of Carrollton and the girls are his daughters. Who has a better right to have his arm around that beautiful girl's waist, even if Martha Washington, sitting in the gallery, is looking.at him? PAGE MILBURN. ORDERED TO THIS CITY.: Maj. Albert M.

Mr. Ricker thought the Mount Hamilton area would be the most feasible one to transfer the present gardens, as the plant families, num- bering about 300, could be fairly well represented. On fifteen acres, he said, sufficient representation could not be given. “In South America,” he continued, “there is hardly a botanical garden that does not cover at least 1,000 acres, while in this country there are very few that do mot cover sixty acres.
