NG S SAVED | GREECE FROM WAR Consensus of Opinioiin Athens— Venizelos Loses Strength ‘Athens, Thursday, Oct. 7, 7 p. m,, Yia. Paris, Oct. 8, 12:35 p, m.—Gen- eral sentiment in Athens seems to be that King Constantine has saved Greece from a war in which the policy of former Premier Venizelos would have brought the country. i The King, therefore in the opinion of prominent Greeks, has gained ad- ditional prestige while the political strength of the ex-premier has suf- fered a corresponding loss. Not to Oppose New Ministry, Paris, Oct. 8, 9:40 a. m.—The sup- porters of former Premier Venizelos, who constitute a majority in the Greek chamber, it has been learned cn high authority says a Havas de- spatch from Athens, will not oppose the new ministry, so that added com- plications may be avoided at a critical period. Overthrow of the Ziamis cabinet would involve the dissolution ot the-chamber, which is considered extremely hazardous as the Greek constitution does not permit fixing a date for elections during mobilization of the army. Details of Interview. Paris, Oct. 8, 4:30 a. m.—What pur- ports to be details of the historic in- terview between King Constantine and Eleutherios Venizelos which resulted in the latter’s resignation as prime minister of Greece was printed in the Greek journal Kairoi, After agreeing to mobilization as a precaution involving no change of policy, the King asked the premier what was the object of the concentra- tion of such a strong army on the ‘Macedonian frontier. M. Venizelos answered that the object was two- fold: First, to defend the country, and, | second, to go to the aid of Serbia in case she were attacked by Bulgaria. Constantine Retorts. The King then remarked that he agreed with Venizelos so far as de- fending the country was concerned but could not see that Greece was called upon to help Serbia. The premier recalled the obligations im- posed upon Greece by her treaty of alliance but Constantine retorted that when Greece asked Serbla’s ald against Turkey in May, 1914, it was refused. To further arguments on the part of Venizelos the King replied that the premier was contradicting himself for when the allied powers asked Greece to assist Serbia at the time of the Aus- trian attack Venizelos made a promise of such assistance conditional upon the armed co-operation of Rumania and the benevolent neutrality of Bul- garia. These conditions not having Teen pledged, the King pointed out, he refused to join Serbia at a time when the Austrian forces arrayed against her, did not exceed 150,00 and Bulgaria was not hostile. No Help From Roumania. “But today,” added the King, “The Austro-Germans are a half million to whom must be added 300,000 Bul- garians and the retreat of the Rus- sians prevent the Rumanians from doing anything for Serbia.” HAT WILL BE DONE BY CONGRESS TO STRENGTHEN THE UNITED STATES NAVY @ 1915, by C.

Very often the patient feels best and brightest at night. Rest seems to bring no refreshment, the nervous system fails to recuperate. This distressing condition is caused by worry more often than by any other one thing. Overwork and worry invite the disorder. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic | tonic. As the nerves get their nourish- | ment Irom the blood the treatment must be directed towards building up the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills act directly on the blood and with proper regulation of the diet have proved of the greatest bene- fit in many cascs of ncurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by thesetonic pills.

Denver, Col,, Oct. 8.—The Colorado supreme court, late yesterday admit- ted John R. Lawson to bail in the sum of $35,000. He had been con- victed of first degree murder in con- nection with strike disorders, He was sentenced to life imprison- ment on a charge of murdering John Nimmo, a deputy sheriff killed in a riot near Ludlow in October, 1913. The supreme court, several weeks ago, granted a supersedeas and writ of error. The question of admitting Lawson to bail was left undecided until yesterday. Lawson is the district No. ber of the International Executive Board of the United Mine Workers of America and was a member of the Policy Committee of the union throughout the strike, He is in jail in Trinidad, where he was imprisoned last summer after Judge Granby Hillyer denied his mo- | tion for a new trial.

ANOTHER FRYE CASE NOTE TO GERMANY | Lansing Acknowledges Acceptance of American Proposals and Requests Further Assurances. ‘Washington, Oct. 8.—Secretary Lansing has completed and will for- ward to Berlin this week another note to Germany regarding the settlement of the case of the American ship Willlam P.

The note acknowledges Germany's acceptance of the American proposal that the treaty of 1828 be submitted to arbitration for an interpretation on whether or not it permits the de- struction of American vessels carry- ing contraband, and also agrees to the proposal for the naming of the commission of two experts to fix the damages in the case, It is understood, however, American government, into account Germany's that ships carrying conditional con- traband will not be destroyed under any circumstances, asks also for as- surances that if it is found necessary | to destroy American shipr mrr)’lnzi absolute contraband, there shall be | ample warning given and passengers and crew removed to a place of safety. that the while taking | N.

A miscellaeous shower was ten- dered to Miss Tillie Roth last evening at the home of Mrs. Charles Klett in Belvidere, in honor of her approach- ing marriage to Fred Nelson The wag prettily decorated for the occasion, and games and music webe ! enjoyed. Among the features of the | evening was a mock marriage, which | afforded great fun. A bountitul | luncheon was served. Chairman Rossberg of the water board and Alderman Anderson and Councilman Ohman took a trip to Burlington yesterday afternoon. While there Chairman Rossberg inspectbd two farms which the department I contemplating purchasing. Danlels will ask for an enlargement of the Naval Academy at Annapolis to enable training at. least double the number of midshipmen that can now be accommodated. Unless this is done it is feared the danger will become acute next year, when eighteen new submarines, not to mention several other new vessels, will be placed in commission. The creation of a naval reserve has held the attention of the navy depart- ment since last October, when Assist- ant Secretary Roosevelt began working out a plan for mobilizing private citi- zens who have had nautical experience. The assistant secretary’s plan also provides for placing all former enlisted men on the reserve list. The service is to be entirely volun- tary. Every man who has had sea ex- perience of any kind, whether on a merchantman or a motorboat, will be called on to enroll himself and will be paid $1 a year as recompense for this willingness to serve in the United States navy in the event of war. While it 18 not believed that many of the re- servists would be of great value on a battleship, it is thought they would be of service on colliers, tenders and other auxiliary ships. Former enlisted men would be available for the fighting ships. Mr. Roosevelt has compiled a mass of statistics which tends to show that a reserve of 50,000 men, if necessary, could be created at an annual expense to the government of about $75,000. The reservists will be allowed the privilege of wearing a distinctive badge. Plans for having immedlately avail- able for the nation’s service in time of war assoclations or socleties of engi- providing adequate national defense for the United States. There will be big and little navy men in congress, and there will be those who favor large ex- penditures on new warships and those who favor minimum appropriations. There will be differences as to the ‘best means of properly defending: the country against attack. Some will want a great fleet of submarines, some will want more big battleships, some will want greater guns in our forts, and the fight promises to be an open, free for all affair with all chances equal. At least 1,000 more officers and 20,000 =Jdditional men are needed to put the vesent ships of the navy on a war footing, accordmg to the estimate of naval experts. It is stated that not only are nearly all of the ships under- mrennad. but under the present promo- an officer on sick leave means a gap in the line which cannot be filled. .There is actually not a detached officer in the navy who can be used to flll a tem- porary vacancy. Naval officers are seriously concerned over the situation. The personnel now available is just sufficient, by utilizing all the officers In shore stations, to man most of the ships of the navy on a peace basis. In case of war it would be necessary, instead of Increasing the naval forces by the purchase and requisition of private merchant vessels, as is commonly done, to lay up part of the present force to have enough men to fill the comple- ments of the other ships. vy department experts insist that the first need of the navy is more men. They argue that there is no use bufld- ing Dreadnoughts until enough men are obtained to at least man the old ships. It is pointed out that the United chant fleet of the British empire the officers are In great part reserve officers of the navy and are a ready source of material In time of war. It is stated that in the present war thousands of officers have been taken for the navy from the merchant fleets, and the same rule holds true of the other European powers. It is believed by the experts that the United States will never solve in ade- quate fashion the problem of a naval reserve until a merchant marine has been created commensurate with the maritime importance of the nation. As the measures necessary for the creation of a merchant fleet cannot be proposed by the navy department, however, nothing can be done by the department except to hope that con- gress will take action. Many of the high officlals of the de- partment are hopeful that Secretary neers, bridge builders, electricia; telegraphers and other trained experts in civil life are being worked out at the army war college in the general reorganization scheme now being studied. Secretary Garrison sald that he had received numerous suggestions that the organizations might be of use to sup- plement the army engineers and expert corps should the need arise. Willlam Barclay Parsons of New York and El- mer L. Cothrel of Massachusetts, rep- resenting practically all the engineer- ing societies, called on the secretary re- cently to tender formally the services of the organizations. Mr. Garrison ob- tained from them written suggestions as to ways in which the engineers’ in civil life could be useful and the whole matter was turned over to the war college for the framing of a definite plan. Work on Alaskan Railroad May Be Delayed as Cold Winter Months Arrive ORK on the Alaskan rail- road will in all probabil- ity be held up by the ap- proach of winter, but the project has progressed far enough to glve the layman an insight into the huge job that Uncle Sam has under- taken. In money the job will cost $26,800,000 In men—nobody knows. The line will be 471 miles long. It will stretch from Seward, on Resurrection bay, to the thriving town of Fairbanks, on the Ta- nana river, almost at the arctic circle. W. C. Edes is chairman of the commis- sion, and his two chief alds are Lieu- tenant Frederick Mears, late superin- tendent of the Panama railroad, and Thomas Riggs, Jr., who has done much surveying in Alaska. This is not the pleasant pursuit that the engineer in the states has—a cut here, a fill there, a nice bridge over a placid stream, with long, level stretch- es in between. No, before he can call the job done, Uncle Sam must study some of the Gollath glaclers of the frozen north and their moods; he must hew & patch in the granite sides of many a mountain top for his iron ral he must throw spidery bridges acrol gaping ravines which summer fills with a frothing torrent and winter locks with a wall of ice; he must stem the cur- rents of raging rivers long enough to build concrete piers, all trussed to- gether with beams of the stoutest steel; he must battle all the while with win- try blasts and freezing ice and snow and howling, biting, vengeful winds. The men and the machinery that have torn the way betwcen two conti- nents down at Panama has been drawn upon to battle with the barriers that are thrown across Alaska' peaks. Panama’s lessons have been learned. The new job will be even more thor- oughly accomplished than even that herculean labor. The health and personal safety of the men who are to do the battling with the storm giants of the north are of primest concern, just as it war In Pan- ama. The whole country north from ard to the Yukon rive. Is o placer gold fleld. There a.e ledges of gold bearing quart. the many streams that cmpty Turnagain arm and pl Sew- great Jreat along into r gold alons the scores of creeks flowing to the Susitna river, which parallels the line. There are great deposits of copper along Resurrection bay, Lynx creek and on the Kaswitna river. Locked in the bosoms of the many mountains of the Alaskan range along the line are other stores of the richest ore, as copper stains and outcroppings plainly indicate to the experienced eye. Tanana is as big as Iowa, and rich enough for a great state is the splendid valley 300 miles long and fifty miles wide. Aside from its vast mineral wealth it has a rich black sofl where everything suitable to northern states will grow.
