They were giren new clothes and arrangements were made to send them home.

TRADE WAR IN THE EAST."
October 17, 12.35 pan.
A letter of appeal from the committee of the London Oriental School, signed by Lord Curzon (Chairman), Lord Cromer, the Lord Mayor and others, states that the annual income now in view is £7,000, and asks for the endowment. of a fund of £150,000; towards which £10,000 has been raised. It states that a higher standard of efficiency in Oriental knowledge will be required of officials after the war. Pre- paration is required for the fiercely waged commercial war following the cessation of bostilities.
Information has heen received that important steps are already being taken in Germany to give higher education to Germans about to proceed to the East.
The commercial war will probably be very neute, and opportunities are very great in China if our business repre sentatives are properly equipped to take advantage thereof.
It emphasises the need for closer co-operation, clearer understanding, livelier interest in and wider recognition of the common aim between His Majesty's'subjects in the East and West and urges particularly the claims to further recogni- tion of Indian studies, especially in view of the splendid part played by India in the war.

THE GREEK CRISIS,
King and Premier at Variance.
Later.
October 18, 6.05 a.m.
The Daily Mail's" correspondent at Athens says that there were high words between the King and M. Lauros, when the latter presented the French Admiral's refusal to moderate the Allies' demands.
The King told M. Lambros that only a confederate Admiral would present such a Note. M. Lambros afterwards told bis friends that he intended to resign, as he realised that the country was under an autocracy.
When the French sailors loaded, the King was very angry, and said: "There is nothing left but to go to Laris- 18"
M. Skouloudis, M. Gouneris and others hastened to Tatoi (the King's residence) and implored the King not lo take the irrevocable step.
The King has deferred his departure meanwhile. There is evidence growing of the King's intention to organise the defence of Larissa, as the adjoining stations are full of field guns, shalls and rifles.
