Resignation Unexpected. 4 & Athens, Tuesday, Oct. 6, 7 p. m., k ja Pari Oct. 6, 10:56 a. m.—The resignation of Premier Venizelos was mltogether unexpected. He conversed with the correspondent of The As- sociated Press at noon today in a gmanner which indicates the utmost confidence in the future course of his government- Meanwhile King Constantine came to Athens from Tatoi, the summer -residence of the royal family, and summoned the premier to the pal- \_ace. After a tense interview, in which there was the plainest speaking, the premier proceedd to the chamber of deputies and annuonced that he had .. egain disagreed with the king, on tho oreign policy of the country and had présented his resignation and that of his cabinet. This announcement led to a scene of wild disorder in the chamber. The city is greatly excited- There is much discussion of the formation of a coal- ition cabinet. Painful Surprise for Paris. Paris, Oct. 6, 4:25 a. m.—The re- 'ported breach between King Con- stantine of Greece and Premier Ven- izelos, resulting in the resignation of the prime minister, was totally un- expected in Paris and has caused painful surprise. French editorial writers have hard things to say of the king, whose German connections always have made him the %Ybject of ' ~Wsome suspicion on the part of those who sought the aid of Greece for the allied cause. It is considered here that while he signed the mobiliza- tion order and consented to the land- ing of French troops at Saloniki, he does not wanb to go to war with Bul- garia, Germany’s ally. It is pointed out that Bulgaria ants Saloniki and Germany covets Asia-Minor. The papers assert thut Bulgaria, in giding with Germany, is “digging the grave of Hellenism.” It is admitted that the task of the An- glo-French forces has become hard- er, but the assertion is made with equal emphasis that it is not beyond their strength. A Bulgarian attack upon Serbia is expected very soon. No Time for Recrimination. All writers upon foreign affairs agree that it is no time for recrim- ination. The recall that last April King Constantine, through M. Goun- aris, who then was premier, offered the military co-operation of Greece to the allies upen condition that no Greek territory be ceded to Bulgarias “4While another line of pollcy would have been preferred, it is argued by the French writers thab there is no excuse for King Constantine’s pres- ent attitude and that it only serves to justify those who urged the land- ing of the allied troops at Saloniki last spring. King Constantine’s Position, London, Oct. 6, 11:36 a. m.—The poition taken by King Contantine of Greece in his interview with Premier Venizelo is said by the Athens cor- respondent of the Havas Agency to have been that he could not pursue to the end the policy of the Venizelos cabinet. —_—— LORD DERBY RECRUITING HEAD, London, Oct. 6, 4:20 5, m.—The ap- pointment of the Earl of Derby, at the request of Lord Kitchener, to take charge or recruiting for the army, comes at a moment when the recruit- ing system is under serious public criticlsm. Lord Derby has been an andefatigable worker in striving to bbtain the best ' results from the voluhtary system, and he is expected to colnmand the ‘Gonfidence of all PERSIANS KILL BRITISH CONSUL AT ISPAHAN Consular Guards Also Slain According to Despatch from Constantinople. Berlin, Oct. 6, by wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—The Lokal Anzeiger pub- lishes a despatch from Constantinople saying that the British consul and the consular guards at Ispahan have been killed by Persians. A despatch from Teheran, forward- ed from London on September 14, says anarchy prevailed in Persia, that the military forces of the government had been defeated by tribesmen, dnd that the British and Russian colonies at Ispahan had been forced to leave for Teheran. Tiflis, Transcaucasia, Oct. 5, via Petrograd, Oct. 6, 11:30 a. m. and London, 1:50 p. m.—Telegrams re- ceived here today from Teheran state that the cooperation of the Britisa and Russians in Persia and the Brit- ish successes on the Tigris have made a strong impression on the Persians. The Turkish and German leaders are showing concern. The German min- ister at Teheran and several German consulats have appealed to the Amer- jcan minister theré for protection in case of need . WILSON TO VOTE FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE President to Cast Ballot for Issue Not As Leader of Democratic Party But As Private Oitizen, Washington, Oct. 6—President Wil- son will vote for the woman suffrage state constitutional amendment in New Jersey, his home state, at the specia] election October 19. He said today in a statement for publication that he would vote, not as the leader of the democratic party, but as a pri- vate citizen. 3 Mr. Wilson said he believed the question should not be made a party issue and should be decided by the states. not the national government. The following statement was given out at the White House. “I intend to vote for woman suf- frage in New Jersey because I believe that the time has come to extend that privilege and responsibility to the women of the state; but I shall vote, not as the leader of my party in the nation but only upon my private con- viction as a citizen of New Jersey, called upon by the legislature of the state to express his conviction at the polls. . “My position with regard to the way in which this great question should be handled is well known. I believe that it should be settled by the states and not by the national government and that in no circum- stances should it be made a party question; and my view has grown stronger at every turn of the agita- tion.” Secretary Garrison, McAdoo, Red- field and Wilson, who aiso will vote on the question in the near future, have declared in favor of equal suf- frage. STRIKERS REVISE DEMANDS, Torrington, Oct. 6.—The striking employes of the Hendey Machine Company have revised their demands. They voted at a meeting this morn- ing to present a petition for a 50 hour week, comprising five days at nine hours each and a flve hour day Sat- urday, an increase of 35 per cent. on the hourly wage rate and time and a half for all over time.

SCHEME ‘OF GERMANY TO SECURE BALKANS Serbian Minister Says Macedonian Question Is Plan to Subordinate Bulgaria to German Interests. . Petrograd, Oct. 6, Noon, Via. Lon- don, 1:15 p. m.—Thg correspondent 2t Nish of the Novoe Vremya .sends the following interview with Ljouba Jovanovitch, Serblan minister of the interior: “To mask her real aims in mobilizing Bulgaria has again ad- vanced the Macedonian question, which is essentially a Slavic family affair of secondary importance at the time of a world war. During the last year we have twice officially offered Sofia to make any reasonable agree- ment concerning Macedonia, in addi- tion to which the entente allies repeat-- dly have attempted to reach a peace- ful solution of this question in order to avert the danger threatening Slac- dom. “All these efforts were unsuccessful, because there is no critical Mace- donia question. The question now is German influence, the complete subor- diation of Bulgaria to German inter- ests. “Germany is not interested in Slavic affairs. She is merely using the Mace- dcnian question to promote her hLegemony in the Balkans and com- plete the conquest of the near east.” ALLEGED ASSAILANT OF POLICE IS FREE Nolle Entered in Case of Cas- imir Kalisz—Two Others Discharged. Casimir Kalisz, arrested as one of the leaders in the Screw Shop riot and identified by Supernumerary Offi- cer Charles McGrath as one of the men who assaulted him at that time, | is free, temporarily at least as Pros- ecutor George W. Klett, entered a nolle in his case when it came be- fore Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning. Wancenti Kresy- niski and Joseph Brisgin, two other strikers charged with breach of the peace, were discharged. All three men were represented by Lawyer P. F. McDonough. In entering the nolle Prosecutor Klett told the court that there is no doubt that Kalisz was in he riotous crowd but there is a quesion as to what part he took and at present he would be unable to prove that it was he who committed the assault, inas- much as the accused has several wit- nesses who bear out his statement that he helped the police rather than assaulted them, By entering a nolle in the case, however, it does not mean that in case further evidence is secured Ka- lisz may not be re-arrested and brought to trial,-as would have been the case had he ben tried and ac- quitted this morning. ‘Wacenti Kresyniski and Joseph Brisgin, charged with threatening Taefil Woecerek of 65 Smith street, were put to trial today, having plead- ed not guilty on Monday. Woecerek works at the screw shop and says that on Friday the two accused sent a threat to him by his little daughter, At 5 o’clock he passed Kresyniski’s house and the latter shouted ‘“Scab” at him from the third floor because he did not join the strikers. Woecerek said he called Kresyniski down stairs to warn him not to bother his chil- dren, when he told him he must not return to work for he ‘‘could Kill me as there is no law to stop me be- cause there is a strike now.” He re- plied that it was necessary for him to work for even when he did e was unable to earn enough to live on. Lawyer McDonough cross-ques- tioned the complainant closely and had Court Stenographer Knox, from superior court, to take down all evi- dence. Lawyer McDonough asked Weocerek if it was not true that he made a threatening move toward his hip-pocket while talking to Kresy- niski and Brisgin, but he denied it. The case was submitted without ar- gument and following a five minute recess Judge Kirkham decided that Weocerek was looking for trouble and discharged the defendants, giving them the benefit of the doubt. FREED OF MANSLAUGHTER. Bridgeport Court Nolles Case Against Mrs. E. C. Adams. Bridgeport, Oct. 6.—Mrs. Frnst C. Adams, whose husband is a hotel pro- prietor in this city, was discharged in city court today when a nolle was en- tered in the prosecution of Mrs. Adams for manslaughter. She was driving an automobile that ran down and fatally injured James White of Reamer street, Ansonia, September 28. Coroner John J. Phelan exon- erated her after an inquest, and on the strength of the coroner's finding the city court prosecution was dropped. It was brought out during the cor- oner's inquest that Mrs. Adams swerved from her path to avoid col- iision with a car preceding her and that though she was driving slowly and sounded the automobile horn, White, a pedestrian, apparently did not know of her approach until too late to step aside. 8 PREPARE, NOT FOR WAR, BUT DEFENSE Wilson Outlines His Attitude to Naval Advisory Board APPLAUDED ' BY HEARERS President Beliecves We Should Be Ad- quately Ready for Any Emergency Spirit of America is One of Peace, But One of Independence- ‘Washington, Oct. 6—President Wil- son outlined his attitude toward the | national defense question today to the new advisory board of the navy. He believed; he said, the whole na- | tion was ‘convinced that we ought to be prepared, not for war, but for defense, and very adequately pre- pared.” The president received the mem- bers of the board, headed by Thomas A. Edison after their preliminary con- ference with Secretary Daniels and navy officials. The board later went with Secretary Daniels to the naval proving grounds at Indian Head, Md., on an inspection tour. President Wilson's Remarks, “There is very little that I can say to you,” President Wilson said, “ex- cept to give you a very cordial wel- come and to express my very greai pleasure in this association of lay- men with the government. But I do want to say this: “I think the whole nation is con- vinced that we ought to be prepared, not for war, but for defense, and very adequately prepared; and that the preparation for defense is not merely a technical matter; it is not a matter that the army and navy alone can take care of, but a matter in which we must have the co-opera- tion of the best brains and knowledge of the country outside the official ser- vice of the government as well as in- side. For my part, I feel that it is only in the spirit of a true dem- ocracy that we get together to lend such voluntary aid, the sort o aid that come from interest, from a knowledge of the varied circum- stances that are involved in handling a nation. “I want you to feel, those of you who are coming to the assistance of the professional officers of the gov- ernment, that we have a very serious purpose; that we have not asked you to associate yourself with us except for a very definite and practical pur- pose, to get you to give us your best independent thougnts as to how we ought to make ready for any duty that may fall upon the nation. . Americans For Peace. “I do not have to expound it to you; you know as well as T do the spirit of America. The spirit of Am- erica is one of peace, but one of in- dependence. It is a spirit that is profoundly concerned with peace, be- cause it can express itself best only in peace. It is the spldit of peace and good will and of human freedom; but it also is the spirit of a nation that is self-conscious, that knows and loves its mission in the world, and that knows that it must comand the re- spect of the world. “So it seems to me that we not working as those who would change anything of America, but only as those who would safeguard everything in America. I know that you will enter into the conference with the officers of the navy in that spirit and with that feeling, and it makes me proud, gentlemen, that the busy men of America, the men who stand at the front of their profes- sions, should be willing in this way to assoclate themselves with the gov- ernment in the task in which it needs all sorts of expert and serious advice. Nothing ought to be done in this by any single group of persons—every- thing ought to be done by all of us united together—and I welcome this association in the most serious and grateful spirit.” Applauded by Hearers. The president was warmly applaud- ed by his hearers. Secretary Daniels then introduced each member of the board to the president, and he shook hands with them all. The trip to Indian Head was made on the presidential yacht Mayflower, members of Secretary Daniel's ad- visory council of department offi- cials accompanying the invention board. are FRENCH CRUISER SUNK, New York, Oct. 6.—Private advices received here today from Athens say that a ¥French auxiliary cruiser was torpedoed and sunk September 9 while anchored off the Turkish TIsland of Rhodes by a submarine of the central powers. AUSTRIAN EMPEROR ILL. Rome, Oct. 6, via Paris, 4:566 p. m,—TIt is said on good authority here at Kmperor Francis Joseph of Aus- | t is dengerously ill and that the Austrian Crown Prince has heen called to Vienna, Hartford, Oct, Hartford and vicinity ally cloudy tonight and Thurs- day. | vesterday’s RUSSIANS WEARING GERMAN HELMETS Patrols of Czar's Forces Adopt Plan to Deceive Kaiser's Troops on Eastern Front, Berlin, Oct. 6, by Wireless to Tuck- erton, N. J.—The official statement from German army headquarters under date of October 5, contains the fcllowing: “Russian patrols are wearing hel- mets in order to deceive German troops. It is evident that such Rus- slans, when they fall into German hands," will be treated in accordance with the laws of war.” The foregoing was omitted from official statement re- ceived from Berlin by way of London, apparently having been eliminated by the British censor. HAITIENS GIVING UP ARMS. Native Leaders Give Americans New Assurances of Good Faith. Washington, Oct. 6.—Native troops in the vicinity of Cape Haitien are turning in their arms, as agreed, Admiral Caperton reported today, and a detachment of marines under Colonel Waller has reached Ounan- minthe, twenty miles west of the city and the furthest point inland reached by the American forces. The native leaders there have given new assur- ances of good faith, the message said. Private Patrick Stanton, Seventh Company Marines, died yesterday at Cape Haitien of pernicious maleria. SKINNER WILL RETURN T0 UNITED STATES American Consul General at London Coming Home on Short Leave. London, Oct. 6, 11:50 a. m.—Robert P. Skinner, American consul general, will sail for the United States within three weeks on a short leave. Mr. Skinner was unwilling to discuss to- day the report from Washington that | the American note to Great Britain relative to the detention of American goods would be held up until he reaches Washington, saying he had no information to this effect. He added, however, that he expected to discuss Anglo-American trade prob- lems with the American authorities. The main difficulty experienced in commerce of the United States with Europe has been the method adopted by the British authorities in releas- ing cargoes bound for Holland and Scandinavia. More reliance is placed on the personal reputation of the ex- porters and importers in the good faith of the consignors and consignees than in formal declarations. Means of establishing the reputation for in- tegrity of importers who are 3,000 miles away are not easily found, but it is believed some machinery will be set up in the United States to ob- viate this. The British policy seems also to operate to prevent the building up of large stocks in Holland and Scan- dinavia, imports of individual firms beng limited accordingly. The diffi- culty relating to the holding up of perishable cargoes was settled some time ago, and there have been no further complaints on this score. LUSITANIA CASE. Discussion Will Be Resumed Soon Between U. S. and Germany. ‘Washington, Oct. 6,—Discussion of the Lusitania case, still ‘‘pending” between the United States and Ger- many, probably will be resumed soon with the German embassy here. Secre- tary Lansing would not say today whether the Washington government placed the coming Lusitania negotia- tions in the same category with the details of liability in the Arabic case, still be discussed by the German ambassador and the state depart- ment, although in German circles this was felt to be the case. Until the pending negotiations are complete it cannot be definitely stat- ed whether an answer to President Wilson’s on the last note on the Lus- itania is to be expected. WHEAT PRICES SOAR. Wall Street Buying Sends Market on Extraordinary Upward Flight. Chicago, Oct. 6.—Wall Street buy- ing sent the wheat market today on an extraordinary upward flight.

GERMANS CHECK FREN CH ATTEMPT TO RESUME OFFENSIVE IN CH U. 3. TO SEND NOTE T0 GREAT BRITAIN Settlement of Arabic Case Clears Way for Trade Negotiations. Washington, Oct. 6—Secretary Lansing indicated today that the set- tlement of the Arabic case had cleared the way for the despatch of the note to Great Britain covering the general subject of trade negotia- tions and interference with American goods in neutra] trade. The note has been completed and is ready to be forwarded to Ambassador Page. It is understood the note does not specifically cover the problems of the Chicago packers, who are pressing the state department to make repre- sentations on behalf of products valued at many millions, held up and, in part. confiscated by the British prize courts. This subject probably will be covered in a separate communi- cation, although the course to be fol- lowed has not been finaiy determined, * On the general situation the Ameri- can note, it Is understood, contends that the burden of proof is upon the British government to show that goods of neutra] destination destroyed or seized are intended for German military use is not justified, Luther M. Walter, Henry Veeder and Charles J, Faulkner, representing the Chicago packers today drafted a letter setting forth tne views of the packers which will be used by the state department, LOSSES AND GAINS ON STOCK MARKET Irregular Trend of Prices Indicate Reduction of Speculative Commit- ments for the Rise, New York, Oct. 6.—Restrictions im- posed upon extensive speculation in war speclalties by the Stock Exchange authorities had a sobering effect at today’s opening. There was no marked lessening of activity, but the irregular trend of prices plainly in- dicated a reduction of speculative commitments for the rise. Initial quotations disclosed a mix- ture of losses and gains, the former predominating. Most of the recent spectacular features were lacking, al- though several excited openings were recorded, but fluctuations were rela- tively moderate. Representative railways were more prominent and reflected greater strength than at any recent session, most of the investment issues in this group rising one to two points and temporarily restoring confidence to other parts of the list. Bethlehem Steel, which opened a fraction lower, 300, soon rose to a new high price, 401, and Westing- house resumed much of its former ac- tivities on extensive offerings which were then readily absorbed. United States Steel wavered at the outset but soon rose a fraction over vesterday's clese. Recoveries from the uncertain ten- dency of the opening Were more or less generai, but gains were lost be- fore 11 o’clock on renewal of heavy selling, which sent some specialties below yesterday’s mimimum prices. Crucible Steel lost one to three points between sales until it reached 86 1-2, 9 1-4 points under yesterday's close. Westinghouse and Baldwin Locomo- tive also showed acute weakness, Sales of the first hour amounted to 250,000 shares.
