INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE LONDON, Nov. 17. The international outlook is pregnant with perils as a result of the outcome of the Greek election, which is generally interpreted a3 a recall of former King Constantine to the Athens throns, according to the Dally Telegraph today. The diplomatic expert of the Daily Telegraph, in analyzing the new European situation creattd by the Greek election, said: EW I'EIUL TO PEACE, "The British and French will assuredly not hesitate "to declare that ihcy no longer regard Greece as a friend'.v power if Constantino again !er,mea the head of the state. The! International outlook is pregnant with immediate perils. The Turkish peace treaty (treaty of Sevres) may easily be jeopardized."

"Some British firms have already intimated that they will not trade with Greece If former King Constantine returns to the throne," said the Morning Post. MAT CANCEL LOANS. "It la possible for the allies to cancel their loans and produce an economic crisis In Greece." The Daily Chronicle quoted a former Greek court official as saying: "Greece has called back her exiled kiny and it is obvious that he will losa no time in heeding the call. We ! believe that Italy will not oppose his return and we feel sure that Premier Lloyd-George, will not look coldly nor unfavorably upon an appeal to him w.sklr.g for the restoration of the king of united Greece."

Rose, county recorderelect, tendered his resignation as city clerk to the Hammond council last night and Mayor Brown named his successor but the council wants time to think it over before ratifying the appointment. Arnold Kunert will bo the next clerk providing the aldermen deride he Is acceptable. Mr. Rise's resignation is to become effective January 3rd, on which date he moves to the county recorder's office. The council accepted the resignation. Mayor Brown's messase, naming Kunert was then read, whereupon the aldermen as usual wanted to know the whys and wherefores. As there was really nothing to discuss about it they floundered a while and thn voted to hold the matter of ratifying the appointment oft until the neyt meeting night. City Scaler Merritt D. Metx was on hand to reply to criticisms which had been made at the last meeting regarding his methods of conducting his of. fice. He explained that he '"'I testl and sealed all scales as required by law. Ho finds that the gasoline pumps of Hammond are giving full measure One or two are giving a little too much but he thinks prosecutions In such r jts are not advisable. Several coal dealers have been found giving short measure but the sealer has had trouble in getting satisfactory results in the. courts of justice of peace. Because of this it was suggested that he take the matters before the grand jury in the future and he promised to give this consideration. A petition from property owners on Truman avenue between Calumet ave., Maywood ave., to have this street classed as & boulevard was granted. A kick was registered over tVe manner in which the gas company replaced the pavement on Sohl st., and the street and alley committee was ordered, to make an Investigation. The consulting engineer who has been making a study of HmmiM's water problem during the. summer and helping make changes which afford temporary relief, spoke at length on th condition of the present plant and the future needs. His data will all be cornTiled soon and he expects to present the council with a printed copy of his findings and recommends tlonsn for Improvements. It is probable that the plan of moving the pumping plant nearer the center of distribution and tunneling water in from the lake will be employed. On complaint of residents of the Sixth ward, the council ordered the rollce to enforce the ordinance -which will do away with the monthly market which has been held for years In East Hammond. The bazaar has become a nuisance In that part of the city and property owners raised strenuous objections. An ordinance was passed appropriating $200 to help defray the expettses of the big fall festival which was held last month on Calumet avenue.

BUSINESS Conditions are Nearly Nor mal, Labor Market Steadier Than in Most Cities in Eastern Districts. How does the business situation In Hammond In particular and the Calumet region In general compare with other manufacturing localltWs which have In the past few months experienced a slump In trade conditions and where the merchants have been up agnint over-production end a ceesat lon-of-buying wave? Has the unemployment situation aeected local business to any marked degreeT The answer is that It has not to the extent It has In other districts particularly in the east. Hammond has been generally free from any deterrent to business which exists in other localities. (OM)lTinS AIIE WHOLESOME, There is no sign of panic in th central west as there h.JS been in the east where there has been a iimrkfd stoppage of buying, a temporary condition which will soon pass. Th' re has been some over-production here but the people of this district are great consumers. In some ru.si'S dealers have v rstocktd owing to the previous uncertainties of transportation and constantly rising prices, but in the main Hammond merchants are not enormously ovtrstoi ked and have reduced their stocks to normal. They have thus been able to lill their shelves with new stocks of seasonable i;,,ds to meet the buying demand at the falling prices and Insure themselves brisk trade. COMrETITIO.N IS KH Eli. It does not take long in the day ot the phone and the capacious newspaper advertisement for price news t travel nnd this circulation has been the means of shoppers flocking t Hammond from outside points. Hammond is a business market where keen competition predominates. The competition is free here und wholesome. Seldom does anything hurt It and when It does the people resent it. They resent It because it hampers their liberty that liberty of , buying in the ben market, and there are instances where this liberty is being usurped. LAIlOll MUlKbT STEAIIY. Hammond's labor market while not at the point it was a year ugo Is nearly normal. Some factories are not running up to their usual fall schedules but this is not considered by officials as surprising in light of readjustment, inventorying and repairs that in some Instances are being made to machinery. Hammond has been particularly fortunate because of its diversified industries and the fact that it has none the lines which have closed down m other districts such as the rubber industry and textile.-. Its wace earner without attempting to specify partlci lar trades-have been kept at their work. WHAT THEV ANTICIPATE. Hammond merchants have every renson to expect a good fall and holiday trade. They are preparing for It and anticipate it. From the preparations they have made for It they df serve it. There are not many cities of the slxe of Hammond that can compare with it In the number and size of its department stores and single line stores. The city has an allurinc shopping dlstr'ct and sets forth an unusually fine display of both the necessaries and luxuries of life and its people are fortunate in being permitted to avail themselves of these marketing facilities. Nothing should be permitted to Interrupt them UN CITY MAN FOUND DEAD IN CHAIR Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Kos' Trurheim, age at, -of 3516 Block avenue. Indinr..t flarbor, walked into the soft drink parlor and restaurant at 35 IS Block avenue, ordered a drink, sat down In a chair, and hav. Ing coughed two or three times, gave a sudden yell and was dead. The dead man had Just been telling some friends in the restnurant that he was feeling fine, and that he had Just arisen from bed where he had a very pleasant rest. He was employed by the Inland Steel company and had been boarding In the Harbor for a number of years.

He considers himself lucky that he escaped with his life. The affair occurred shortly after dark at the intersection of Standard ave. and Madison st., in the south part of Hammond. Mr. Bick was driving north on Madison and was about to turn Into Standard when ho saw the lights of a car which was approaching from tha east at a high rate of speed.

He managed to right the machine but stopped under an electr c l'ght about a block away where the wo occupants of the machine alighted and looked the car over. Bick hurried to where tike other car was standing, hut the men seemed sullen and refused to talk. He took down the licence number nnd returned to Ills own car.

He staggered but did not fall and realizing that he wa-s defenseless he ran to a house on Calumet avenue and called the police. As he left the two men he heard the revolver click four times. It Is believed that the blow he had been struck had disarranged the cylinder of the weapon so that It missed fire. Albert Swelgcrt of Hessvllle was a witness to the entire precelure and says that Immediately after Bick ran away thn men removed the license plates from their car nd sicd away.

MOONSHINE DISPENSERS GET SHOCKS

T8 n Autos are Taken Up by Federal Agents in Yesterday's Seizures Whiskey runners and dispensers of moonshine received the Jot of their careers yesterday when the U. S. government suddenly seized nine eutomoblles with the announcement that confiscation proceedings had been started because the cars had been used in transporting liquor. The majority of the seizures were made in the Calumet region and th cars taken Into custody range from tin lizzWs up to the aristocrats of motordom. The combined value of the machines Is between $15,000 and $20.000 and If the proceedings go through according to schedule this sum will be turned into the coffers of Uncle Sam as a result of the sales of the machines. Following is the list of seizures made to date: Paige touring car belonging to Nick Mryna. 568 Morton avenue, Hammond. Chevrolet touring car belonging to Julius Wise, 3517 Block avenue. East Chicago. Ford sedan belonging to Mike Zlvanvlc whose home Is in Hammond but who is now visiting at his old home In Serbia. Hudson superslx belonging to Peter Bogosaclerlck. Gary.

Monroe touring car bel.-pgjng to Tony Pavich, 1925 South Racine, Ch'.ca go. Case touring care belonging to Peter Kaljanun, 35J7 East 106th street. o. Chicago. All of these cars have on one or more occasions been used In the Illegal transportation of liquor In thj Calumet region. The owners during the lust year have been arrested by federal prohibition enforcement officers. The phase of the revenue la'V which permits the confiscation of vchicUa used in the transportation of liquor has not been taken advantage of hitherto by the officers but the traffic In liquor has reached the tago where It is felt drastic measures arc. necessary. It Is hinted that the pirt which authorizes the confiscation of real esfate on which liquor is manufactured may also be Invoked soon, Capt. Van Hook, field agent for prohibition enforcement in this district finally la!4 his date, before District Attorney Fred Van Nuys at Indianapolis and the confiscation' proceedings are the result.

Hearings in the proceedings wll be held bcfre Judge Anedrson at Indianapolis December at which time the owners may come Into court to show cause if any why the cars should not be confiscated y the government and sold. Failfng in this the machines will, be offered for sale. Intimation of this move by the federal authorities came last summer when the car of Nick Marovieh of Highland was seized. Marovieh starred suit In the court of Justice Frl drlch in Hammond charging larceny. This suit was certified to the criminal court at Crown Point. Another suit to recover the automobile was filed in the superior court at Hammond but that was dismissed by the plaint ff a short time afterward. The Marovieh car is not included in the present list of seizures. USUAL SMILE WASHINGTON. Nov. 16 "I went to defeat in the republican landslide n Oklahoma." commented Scott Ferris, democratic candidate for the U. S. senate of Oklahoma on his arrival here to!ay. ' I had no suspicion that we would lose Oklahoma for Gov. Cox. or that I should meet defeat." he continued. "But I am ready to make the fight again, and there will be a different result." Congressman Ferris' spirit In the face of defeat is echoed by most of the defeated democratic candidates for congress. Congressman Flood, chairman of the house congressional campaign committee. Is receiving letters from many of the defeated candidates, assuring him" of their philosophical acceptance of t'-' outcome of the battle and telling him of their determination to have another whirl at the game. Already the democratic politicians are taking comfort in the thought that republican leaders may not be able to hold together in the national admliwlstra-' tb.f: and distribution of patronage during the coming year will cause much bitterness in republican ranks. They will start at once to repair their fences and organize for the fight to re-capture-the house two years from now. Scott Ferris and other leaders express confidence that this can be done.
