Athens dispatch: As a result of the agitation organized by the students of the Athens university against the pro­ posal to translate the new testament into modern Greek seven persons were killed, thirty severely injured and many more or less seriously wounded here today. The situation is extreme­ ly critical and another more serious encounter between the students and the military is expected to occur at any moment. Late at night a cabinet meeting was held to provide for ex­ treme emergency, and General Vassos wad placed in command of the armed forces. A force of 800 marines has been landed to help maintain order. As a result of the demonstrations of the day the metropolitan, the gen­ darmerie and the prefect of police, have resigned office. During the dem­ onstration in the afternoon several shots were fired at M. Theotokis, the Greek premier, and a bitter opponent of the students. Twenty thousand per­ sons assembled around the ruins of the temple of Jupiter Olympus and took part in the demonstration. A reaolt*- tion was passed calling on the holy synod to excommunicate any person who translated the gospels into Greek as now spoken. Eight hundred marines were landed and co-operated with the troops in patrolling the locality. The assemblage wr^s fallowed by a fatal encounter between the military and the more turbulent demonstrators. The students still hold the university buildings. Great exxcitement still pre­ vails. Strong military detachments guard the palace ana the residence of the premier. Everywhere anxious groups are discussing the situation.

There were no further dis­ turbances during the day, but it is feared that there will be a renewal of disorders tomorrow. Among those slightly injured are the prefect of po­ lice of Athens and the prefect of At­ tica. T W E N T Y - N I N E K N O W N D F A D .

Ft®. .feasor G. W. Ritchey of thp^eriMP Qfe* servatory has made a Startling significance andlxwo&ttdohs importance in the history of the evo­ lution of the universe. In effect the brilliant astronomer has just finished observations which prove the truth of the celebrated nebulary theory of crea­ tion announced by the famous French* man, La Place, and of the widely en­ tertained belief that the solar system, and even star clusters, have been formed by millions of years of slow evolution from great bodies of gaseous matter floating in the Inconceivable abysses of space. Professor Ritchey's observations go even father than this. They go to show the truth of the the­ ory of Herbert Spencer that the entire universe is passing through a fly* of evolution and dissolution--that nebu­ lar gas itself is developed by mighty changes in the stars themselves--that stars are suddenly expanded by explo­ sion, or otherwise, into enormous masses of thin gas, infinitely more tenuous than atmospheric air, and that this gaa again contracts and is convert­ ed into suns like our own, with prob­ ably trains of attendant planets. In short, Professor Ritchey has proved that a nebula, a star for a nucleus, changes its shape and the quantity of light it emits, and that these changes are so rapid as to be observable within the compass of a few hours.
