Col. House Informed. Col. House, one of the few intimate friends who has known what was coming, planned his house party some time ago. Other close friends are eplanning pre-nuptial affairs, and the White House, which for more than a year has been observing a period of mourning, will begin to take on its old aspect of social activities. The time of the wedding, coming almost at the opening of congress and the return of the diplomatic corps to the capital from the summer embassies, 1 signalize the full swing of the Washington social season, which now will incldue the usual state dinners nand receptions in the exccutive man- sion. President Wilson went to his desk early today as usual and was greeted with congratulations by the White House staff and callers, who began frriving immediately.

Secretary Lansing fol- lowed, and then Senator Saulsbury, of Delaware. All the members of the cabinet sent thelr congratulations rly in the day and some of them called later.

Stockholm, Oct. 7, via London, 12:08 p. m.—Iron ore shipping is completely tied up, owing to rumors that a British submarine has mined the waterway in the Baltic between Trelleborg, Sweden and Sassnitz, Ger- many. Twenty large German steam- ers laden with iron ore and wood are anchored in Swedish waters. For the last two days ferries be- longing to the Swedish state railways have been replacing private steamers in the service between Trelleborg and Sassnitz.

Swedish shipping companies have decided to paint the national colors on the hulls of ships to avert danger from mistakes of Xden(lty MISS GARROLL HEAD OF STATE NURSES’ ASSN. Local Woman Elected at Convention Held in This City Today. As a memorial to Miss Jennie P. Hill, formerly head of the local visit- ing nurse association, the Connecti- cut Organization for Public Health Nursing held its first meeting today in the chapel of the First Church of Christ on Church street. Miss Hill, who is remembered here for the splendid work she accomplished, was first to suggest the idea of a state organization of nurses employed in public health nursing and this after- noon Mrs. William F. Brooks delivered a paper telling of Miss Hill's work with especial reference to New Brit- ain. The association was formerly known as the Connecticut Association of Vis- iting Nurses and was one of the first to organize In this country. Re- cently, however, the visiting nurses associations in the various states formed a national organization under the title of the National Organization for Public health Nursing, so the Connecticut association, which s much older, is falling in line and at the meeting this afternoon voted to assume the same name Wlth the pre- fix Connecticut. Members of the various town and city associations numbering nearly 100 attended the gathering this afternoon, which opened at 2 o'clock. Preceding the meeting lunch was served by the ladies of the First church in the base- ment of the chapel. The memorial meeting was preceded by a short business meeting when officers were elected and reports given. Miss Hen- rietta Van Cleft, president of the association, presided. Miss Van Cleft, president of the association, presided. Miss Van Cleft has charge of the rural district nursing in Salis- bury, Lakeville and Ore Hill section of Connecticut and has done splendid work in this connection. She was formerly connected with the famous Henry street, New York, visiting nurse association under Miss Wall, which became famous the country over. At the business meeting, Miss Sara T. Carroll of the local association was chosen president to succeed Miss Van Cleft. Miss Redfield of New Haven and Miss Cullen of Bridgeport were elected vice presidents and Miss Mar- garet Stark of New Haven was re- elected secretary and treasurer. BRITISH TROOPS LAND AT SALONIKI ¥rench Forces Being Concentrated on Ground Conceded to Serbia . After 1913, Athens, Oct. 6, via Paris, Oct. 7, 8:40 a. m.—British troops began to land yesterday at Saloniki. French troops are disembarking a mile and a half from the town and are being concentrated in a camp located on the ground conceded to Ser- bia after 1913, upon which to build warehouses. From this point they are entrained as quickly as possible for Gievgeli, on the Serbian frontier. Bulgarians have evacuated all buildings on the coast near Dedeag- hatch, while the forts in that city are being armed with long range guns and mine layers are placing a double line of mines across the port. Dedeag- hatch is reported to be full of troops officered by Germans from Con- stantinople, COTTON WAREHOUSE BURNED, Berlin, Oct, 7, by wireless to Say ville, N.

GREECE READY TO FIGHT FOR SERBIA Statement of Former Premier Venizelos Before He Resigned MADE TO ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at Greek Capital a Short Time Before the Unexpected Change in the Situation in the Balkans Took Place. The following statement was made to the Associated Press correspondent at Athens Tuesday by M. Venizelos before his resignation as premier and was flled at the Greek capital a short time before the unexpected change in the situation took place: Athens, Oct. 5, 1 p. m., Via, Paris, Oct. 6, 7:16 p. m.—At the close of a decisive meeting of the Greek cham- ber last evening and early this morn- ing, Premier Venizelos gave the asso- ciated Press a statement of the policy Greece would pursue in the impending Balkan conflict. Will Support Serbia. “One thing is absolutely certain,” suid M. Venizelos. ‘“Greece will abide by the terms of her alliance with Ser- bia not only in letter but in spirit to the last man and the last drachma. More, the Greco-Serbian treaty fore- saw only the possibility of a Balkan war. When it was made none could predict the present European cons flict with all its widespread compli- cations. But the spirit of alliance ,was one of mutual defence and be- cause the dangers threatening our ally increased with unforseen condi- tions there is no excuse for hiding behind the verbiage of the treaty to escape the responsibility of our pledge. “Through the entire available for- ces of the central empires be added to those of Bulgaria in an attempt to crush Serbia, Greece will unflinch- ingly remain true to her passed word. The honor of Greece is at stake. You may be certain it will not be betrayed. Ready To Fight. “Nor, indeed, has there ever been at bottom the slightest wavering about the Greek people respecting their responsibility to enter the war in defense of their ally under terms of alliance although every effort has been made to becloud the issue. The spectacle of part of her press subser- vient to foreign influences has shamed and humiliated Greece. A people so eager to read—so much so that every hootblack while he shines your shoes js reading a book or newspaper—has heen temporarily confused by an in- spired and venal propaganda. But the feeling of loyalty to our national obligations never for a moment has been really affected. What Greece has said she will db she will do. She is ready to fight and if Serbia needs her she will fight, “Respecting the landing of French troops at Saloniki there is but one thing to be said: We have protested, of course, for we have wished to re- main neutral in this European strug- gle and we wish it now if it were con- gistent with our rights and duties. But the Greek people cannot war on Trance and wouldn't it they could. What France has done for Greece no Greek can forget. Comes now France, asking nothing of Greece, de- claring categorically her sole inten- tion to be to support Greece’s ally in the case of a need wherein Greece herself would be bound to support her neighbor. It is something offered, not something asked. Indeed, since 1 have been premieir, I may say quite frankly the entente has asked not one concession of Greece. There- fore, when France gives every guar- antee Tespecting the integrity of Greece, when France's motives for landing troops on Greek soll are ex- piained as in the nature of accom- plishing the very purpose of Greece's treaty of alliance with Serbia, we can see no reason why Greece should re- sist what she cannot help and vitimately cannot fail to be to her advantage. Dream of Greeks, “It must not be forgotten that while no sacrifice has been asked of Greece to which her international ob- ligations do not already impel her, the realization of the dream which sleeps in the heart of every true Greek has been held out to her with- out conditions. For centuries the Greeks have wanted two things: A free and united Greece and freedom for Greeks where ever they might be. The former we have gained with blood, heroism and sacrifice extending over thirty centurles. The latter, in a larger degree than we could hope to achieve unalded for centuries to come 1ps, Is suddenly made possible hr us. “Who thinks what it would mean to Creece that those of our blood line on the opposite shore w one dav soon come under our flag, cannot he indifferent to the realization of a ece for which we are asked to pay nothing save the keep- ing of our pledged word to which our honor binds us in any case. This is the position of Greece today which I am more glad to make clear to America because T have just been ap- proached by William Hamilton of New York with a most generous offer assistance for Greek refugees on be- (Continued c¢n Tenth Page.) what ! of | CROWD LINES UP FOR BLEACHER SEATS Early This Morning Men and Boys Asscmbled for Places in Line at Phillies’ Field. Oct. 7 Thousands of eball fans in this cit rushed cagerly for their early morning mail {oday to learn whether they had been fortunate enough to secure reserva- tions for the world's championship games between the Philadelphia Na- fional league champions and the Poston American title holders. Those who had taken the precaution to write the management last week and were modest in their requests were in most instances rewarded with a notice to report either at the grounds or at ik downtown office of the Philadel- phia club., The line up at these places took the place of the long line which in previous years stormed the local department store where some of the reserved seats were offered to the public. Although the first game will not be played until tomorrow afternoon and the entrance to the bleachers will not, be opened until 10 o'clock on the morning of the game, the line-up for ' the 7,600 seats in that section which was begun yesterday by several men and boys, was augmented during the night and early today was composed of several score eager fans and nu- merous small boys who hope to sell their places in the line to an advan- tage. Despite the unfavorable weather and the soggy ground from recent rains, Manager Moran planned morn- ing and afternoon practice for all the players. Part of the time was spent | in practicing defensive plays with men on the bases. In addition there was the usual school hour in the club house which Moran conducted during thc season. The question whether Bill Killifer will get into the series was still in doubt today, that is, as far as the gen- eral public was concerned. His lame arm was again examined by a New York expert yesterday. I Killifer cannot go behind the bat tomorrow Moran will be compelled to send in Burns. What difference this will make in the pitching of Alexander is | hard to tell. The Boston Red Sox, who end the | American league season in New York today, will arrive here late tonight | ana will, in consequence have little time for signal practice, Manager Moran has invited Man- ager Carrigan to use the Phillies jlaying field whenever he wants. JILTED, SHOOTS GIRL AND KILLS HIMSELF Philadelphia, Murder Former Sweetheart While She Slept. Hartford, Oct, 7.—Charles Rabino- vitch, 144 Governor street, shot Mary Rabinovitch, elghteen, through the neck this morning, then turned the re- volver on himself and died on the way | to the hospital. The woman is in the hospital in a serious condition. Rabinovitch was twenty-three years clé. He shot the young woman as she lay in bed at 6:15 this morning. Jealousy is said to have Dbeen the cause. Five shots were fired from an | automatic pistol, but three evidently went wild as the only wound on the girl was through the throat and the bullet which killed Rabinovitch also passed through his throat. His body was laying across her's on the bed when found. It is believed she was shot while asleep. At the hospital this afternoon it was said the girl had a chance for recovery. Rabinovitch and Mary had been lccked upon in the Jewish quarter in which they lived as lovers. Not long since she transferred her affections and this seems to have maddened Rabinovitch. When the new lover called on her Saturday night and last night he was driven away by Rabino- vitch. The girl is a stenographer. ITALY TO UPHOLD ALLIES. Action Against Bulgaria Imminent.
