ater here are encamped in the Zeppa-
Ion Gardens near the royal palace. A
batttalion of French Greek infantry
surrounded the palace.
No serious clashes have occuircd
thus far between the allied troops and
the anti-ally crowds. Several thous
and Greeks watched the transfer of
the French marines but there was no
demonstration.
The allies detained twenty-five car
loads of ammunition ft Volo Thessaly

country. They suspected that it was
being shipped to enemies of the allies

law. Although alarming rumors are
being circulated cool heads are at
tempting to prevent any clash be-
tween the French Bailors and civil-
ians which may develop Into street
fighting.
Greek officials deny reports that
King Constantino has fled. They say
the king returned to the palace Mon-
' day night after reviewing the Greek
marines and attending a meeting of
his cabinet and council where a proc
lamation was drafted calling upon the

the Greek sailors from the ships tak-
en over by the allies as they passed in

onstrations wore began and a Venize-
los supporter was badly beaten with-
out police interference.

at Piraeus marched to the capital and
took possession of the theater anoth-
er crowd gathered obtained a U. S.
flag and marched past) the American
legation cheering the United States.
The American minister was at the
Athenian club but the demonstrators
left a communication calling upon him
to protest in the name of the United
States against the action of the allies.
They were informed today that their
communication would be transmitted
to Washington.

HOW MEN WHO ARE OUT
OF COUNTY MAY VOTE
In order that vote' who may be ab-
Bent from the county on election day
may have a clearer idea of their priv-
ileged under the new election law S.
C. Durbin chairman of the county
election board gave out the following
explanations to a representative of
the Daily Express this morning:
Under the election law passed at the
recent special session of the legisla-
ture a registered voter of the state
who Is unavoidably absent from the
county of his residence may vote in
dence giving the reasons therefor. The
inspector will endorse on the registra-
tion certificate the date of the election
and the precinct in which the elector
voted and sign his name. He will
theu hand the elector both state and
county ballots. The voter with pen
and ink will strike out names of can-
didates tor "ounty and district offi-
cers for which he is not entitled to
vote and write Instel the names of
candidates for whom he is entitled to
vote and stamp his ballot in the usual
Buy precinct of the state in which he . manner
Is temporarily located.
In order to do so he will present
The inspector is required to forward
the ballots and affidavit of the yoter
his registration certificate to the pre-! by registered mail to the secretary of

tiie use of both quinine and arsenic
preparation hypodermically and into
the veins. The various forms of ma-
laria were discussed and the differ-
ence in the treatment of each form
was mentioned.
Dr. S. L. Morgan associated with
the Pasteur institute at Oklahoma
City read a very comprehensive paper
on hydrophobia or rabies and the
present method of treatment. His sug-
gestions aa to the proper ' procedure
in cases of suspected dogs or animals
are: First if possible to avoid doing
so do not kill a supposedly rabid dog.
Keep him securely chained or confin-
ed for ten day. If the living anijnal
remains healthy during the ten days
confinement no rabies is present. As
long as it remains healthy it should
not be killed and there is no need to
send It for laboratory diagnosis. If an
animal suspected of rabies dies its
head should be sent immediately to
the Pasteur institutione or the state
board of health laboratory. In warm
weather always put the dog's head in
ice before Bending by express. If the
er-oi't oC li.u institute states that the
animal had rabies any one infected
by the saliva of the animal tyther
through a bito or other wounds
should immediately begin Pasteur
treatment at his physician's office for
it is not necessary to come to the in-
stitute for treatment as the treatment
is sent out successfully by mail to the
physicians. In all localities where
rabies 'is known to have been present
all dogs should be muzzled. All dogs
known to have been bitten by a rabid
dog should be killed. As an essential
preliminary measure all wounds made
s nal should be cauterized im-
mediately with commercial formalin
and this should not bo neglected after
a delay of one or two days.
Dr. C. J. Fishnian of Oklahoma City
read a paper on the newer methods of
blood examination in relation to dis-
eases his paper being enjoyed very
much by the physicians doing labora-
tory work.
Dr. W. J. Wallace of Oklahoma City
discussed the subject of latest meth-
ods of treating a disease which- he j
emphasized the fact that the success!
of the treatment depended greatly on
the thoroughness of the physician in
checking up his treatment by a labo-
ratory and blood test.
Dr. J. M. Cooper of Oklahoma City
discussed the effect of constipation re-
sulting in disease of the rectum and
what would be a successful treatment
for these conditions. The last paper
was by Dr. W. II. Livermore of Chick-

thing this time. We hope to have as

possible when we meet next."
