Sir Frederick Halliday Has
Been Twice Re-engaged
by the Athens Gov
ernment
Sir Frederick Halliday, the head of
the British Police Missionrin Greece,
has just signed his third Three-year
contract with the Athens Govern
ment for the reorganization and di
rection of the urban police of the
country, with special reference to
towns like Athens, Piraeus, Patras,
Salohlki and Corfu. For the first
time ho has the promise of the full
and unpolitical co-operation of the
Government.
When he took hold in 1918, under
the auspices of the Allies, he found
cities, like tho provinces, “guarded”
by a gendarmerie whose members
were constantly being transferred.
They had no patrol system and no
very clear appreciation of law and
order. In the towns they spent their
time at hotels and cabarets and only
emerged when necessary—to make an
arrest or when ordered to quell a
riot. Sir Frederick received the man
date to reorganize the entire system,
both town and country, but so far he
has not proceeded beyond the latter.
At the beginning he was greatly
hampered by the influx of some 1,-
500,000 refugees from Asia Minor;
then came the Pangalos dictatorship,
which made him practically power
legs to proceed—the officers he had
so carefully trained were ordered
back into the army and their places
taken by the’ henchmen of the dicta
tor. In January, 1926, Pangalos de
creed the dismemberment of the town
force by traz\sferring to the rural
gendarmerie all duties concerning
public order, detection and prevention
of crime criminal investigation and
prosecute n.
Sir Frederick then took a holiday
in England and France and, after the
fall of Panagalos, returned to Athens
and had to begin all over again. At
first he was hampered in the old way-
This was the situation when, on the
eve of the expiration of his contract,
he presented the Government with an
ultimatum: either he would go home
or the Towns Police Force would be
allowed to vesumd' its full activities
or with the alternative of an amalga
mation with the rural police with
headquarters in the principal towns.
The Government declined to let him
go, but wanted him to think out his
alternative. Meanwhile the press is
unanimous for a restoration of
Towns Police Force according to
Frederick’s original plan.

thousands of mothers throughout the

by actual experience that there is no

them. Once a mother has used them
for her children she will use nothing
else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles

Experiments on Two German
Vessels Yielded Extra
Knot on Less Fuel
London.—Four British shipowning
firms have each decided to try as an
experiment the equipment of one of
their steamers with a new device for
Increasing the horsepower of existing
machinery. The companies are the
Anchor Line, the Booth Line, the Com
monwealth and Dominion Line and
the Clan Line.
The device, which has been intro
duced by two well-known German en
gineers, is known as the Bauer-Wach,
after the names of the two inventors,
and it consists of affixing to an ordin-
. ary steam reciprocating engine a tur
bine which uses up the exhaust steam
and which, being coupled to the pro
peller shaft, transmits this additional
power to the’ propeller. Experiments
tried on two German ships, the Cap
Norte and Antonio Delfino, each of
14,000 tons, showed that they could
make an extra knot speed on a slight
ly reduced fuel consumption. The Bri
tish exeperiment is interesting, be
cause it is being tried on various
types of ships, one of which at least,
-has the reputation of being a very
economical vessel already.
The significance of the
ment, however, lies in the
if this invention does all
claimed for it, old ships which have
been out o fthe running in the com
petition of the motorship and the
more highly developed, modern steam
ship, wll be able to come baclO with
renewed vigor, as it were, and pro
vide their owners with ships almost
as good as new at very little cost.
When one remembers the high cost of
construction to-day and bears in mind
that many of these older ships, owned
by the conservative shipowners of pre
war days, stand on the books at prac
tically nothing, the possibilities of this
revitalizing process are very remark
able. '
Nor do, the complexities of the situa
tion end there, for it is to these same
owners that the eyes of the shipbuild
er are turned for signs that they may
want new ships. While the owners
may have cause to rejoice at the pos
sibility of their ships receiving a new
lease of life, that Is exactly what the
shipbuilders do not wish to see.
And tho matter goes even farther;
many old ships are almost out of the
running In the highly competitive
freight market to-day. They would
come back as a now compotltlvo forco
just when the matfeot was beginning
to get the measure of post-war condi
tions and flattered itself that there
were no longer any seriously disturb

English Train Bill Gives
“Lying Down” Privileges
' London.—Sleeping accommodation
on the English trains, which is obtain
able only if the passenger travels first
class, has always been rather expen
sive. A bill has recently been intro
duced in Parliament, however, “to
provide lying-down accommodation on
night journeys in third-class railway
carriages.”
The wording, it will be noted, is
scrupulously accurate in referring to
“lying down” rather than to “sleep
ing” accommodation. The bill pro
vides that every train which has first-
class sleeping cars shall have, at least
one-fifth of its third-class compart
ments equipped with beds, bunks or
“stretchers.”
The “lying down tickets,” as they
are called,- are to cost only five shill
ings ($1.25) more than the ordinary
third-class fare.
