The annual campfire staged last | evening: was a tremendous success. J. F. Callahan, speaking to the Civil war. veterans, called their attention to the destructive work of the ‘copper- _ heads” of the Civil war. “Today, the bones of many. of your. comrades lie! beneath the hills of Perinsylvania and | Virginia because the copperheads at home, the disloyal men who stayed behind, hampéred the government in its prosecution of the ‘war, therefore unnecessarily extending. its “duration. ‘Today, I anv sorry to: say; we: have dis- loyal men right’ here, in our own. | state, doing much the same “things as! did the Civil war. copperheads,” said rhe speaker: BONSTANTINE'S CAREER STORMY BUT VERY BRIEF Continued from page i. the Dardanelles would dangerously garian frontiev. Queen Sophia was regarded a8 _bit- terly. opposed to Greece joining the war on the Entente side and it was; reported that she had threatened to/| leave Greece if that event transpired.

Balkan nation. i Another act which aroused a storm | f “criticism was the yielding by Greek troops to Bulgarian invaders of. several Greek forts and the sur- _yender.of-a large number of Greek | soldiers to the Tuetonic forces which were invading Macedonia. The occupation by the troops of the Entente powers of,a, part of Mace:| donia and the seizure of Salonixi as their base involved King Constantine in a long series of clashes with the Entente commanders during which he was accused of evasion and attempt- ing to gain time in the hope that Germany would assemble on the Macedonian front sufficient troops to overwhelm the Entente forces. It was charged. that the king and his | government laid a trap for the En-! tente. troops which occupied a part , of Athens, to enforce a demand for a surrender, of ten batteries of Greek artillery, to compensate for the sur- render of Creek guns to. the Teutonic allies. Greek reservists fired upun the French and: British forces, but the king was reported to have order: ed the firing stopped after about 200) casualties... ,Six batteries Gf moun- tafh guns were given up to the Allies} and the ‘king reached a temporary understanding withthe Entente com- mander. *- Growing in Strength.

The provisional army occu- ) pied Katerina, near Saloniki, and Venizelos -continued his agitation against --Constantine, declaring the king a victim of bad counsel, had led the Greek people to the bank of a precipice by an alliance with their hereditary enemies and by vio- lation. of the constitution in. dissolv- | ing the Greek parliament, and brought the contempt vot the world upon Greece. In order to enforce their demands | the Entente’ powers laid an embargo upon the supplies for Greece, which fanned the flame of discontent. Con- stantine was denounced by people of Crete and Lemnos, who accused him of treachery and demanded his de- thronement. Constantine, however, asserted that England and France had roused the resentment of the Greeks and alien- ated their sympathy by interfering in Greek politics. He protested against the Entente occupation of Greek ter- ritory, asserted that his endeavors were to maintain Greek neutrality, and predicted that, if the country went to war against Germany it would share the fate of Rumania. . weaken Greece's defense on the Bul-|-Of the last.24 hours: have been’ un- 19» King Constantine; with Princess Irene and Crown Prince Stan Helen. and Prince Alexander; {| George; seated, Queen Sophia, Princess Cool Weather \IACE TFIERL And Big Wind " WeTaiBITION OF NEWS PRINT No Damage Washington, June 13.

Discrepancy accounted for in part by the fact that 3,000 men have' enlist: | ed in the federal service, and prob-| ably a thousand more national guards- men have taken the federal oath, éx- empting them from registration. There are 57,089 citizens and friendly | aliens; 88 negroes; 7,205 aliens, and ‘615 alien enemies. Exemptions are cited by 29,909 citizens and friendly aliens, and 27,190 noie none. Mexicans Fired Upon by Patrol El Paso, Texas, June 13.—A motor- cycle machine gun company and crew in motor trucks were sent from Ft. Bliss to Ysleta, 13 miles east, where, | it was reported, 40 Mexicans attempt- | ed to ford the Rio Grande. The Mex- | icans were fired on by the cavalry | patrol, but no repert of killed or) wounded has been received here. Two American cavalrymen held the fort last night against 25 mounted Mexicans, who attempted to raid Ys-) leta, driving them back into Mexico, after a third had come to their as-; sistanee. The Mexicans charged across the Rio Grande, and opened fire on the two patrols, who dismount- ; ed, found cover, and drove the Mex- icans back. One of the troopers ‘said | he saw a man drop from his saddle, but nobody could be found. Troops were sent from El Paso and Ft. Bliss, but the Mexicans did not re-/ turn.

Ore—It required two years, five months and fourteen days for the courts of Oregon to determine that Traffic Policeman White of this city was killed while on duty through the carelessness of a truck driver and that the widow is entitled to $6,000 damages. It is the case. that was commented ‘on in many parts of the! United ‘States on account of the now notorious “and or or” decision by the Oregon courts. Because she ‘denied. that her hus- band “carelessly AND negligently” | stepped backward into the path of the trick, the widow lost the case on her first appeal to the supreme “court.. The,high court held that she should havé used the words “careless- ly OR negligently.” In its final decision the supreme court says: | “Indeed it is difficult to see. how the jury cotld have found otherwise from the evidence.” c The first jury in the é¢ounty court, awarded the widow $7,500 damages. When the case was retried the sec- ond jury awarded her $6,000, and this was sustained by the recent decision! of the supreme court, * BIG CROPS FOR. NEW YORK Western Portion of State Gives Prom- ise of Big Yield of Potatoes and Small Truck. |“ Buffalo, N, ¥.—An early census in the western New York agricultural dis- tricts shows there will be harvested over 100,000 bushels of potatoes more than in any recent year. This is the result of an organized effort to stimu- late general crop production in larger quantities than ever. Indications are that the Niagara fruit belt will regis- ter a tremendous yield this year. Small _truck is being raised in heretofore un- heard of quantities. The great Chau- tauqua grape belt is expected: to regis- ter another million-dollar crop, with grape juice and wine companies al- ready contracting for larger than usual tonnage of grapes.
