FX-KING OF GREEGE |FRENCH MACHINE GUNNERS ADVANCING UNDER FIRE IN THE VOSGES MOUNTAINS STILL H4AS FRIENDS But Martial Law Is Acting As Effective Gag Athens, Aug. 25, Correspondence of | the Assoclated Press.—The proclama- | tion of martial law, which is now in force by royal decree, has heen adopt- ed by the government as a means of dealing with the elements which con- . tinue to agitate in behalf of the old royalist regime of King Co: It is a drastic measure, su the constitutiona] guaranties of free speech, speedy trial and placing the capital and the section of southern Greece comprised in Afriea and Boetia in a state of sieze, and giving - to the military instead of the civil authorlties the safeguarding of public | order. | On the abdication of Constantine This ministers and chief officers were exiled or deprived of their functions. But it was impossible to make a clean sweep of all these friendly to the old regime, and many of the leaders in- cluding prominent military men, re- main at Athens. Tt is said they hold meetings at two points, one at Kaphis- sia, a suburb, and the other at Ath- ens, where plots are hatched and the eventuality of Constantine’s return looked forward to. While the new administration has a firm hold of af- fairs, and Is in complete accord with the Entente Allies, yct the Entente of- ficlals feel there is still a danger in the old military element which con- tinues to agitate with the public, and is even said to have some of its rep- resentatives in the entourage of the new Kking, Martial law is expected to reach these military plotters. It is also ex- pected to put a stop to the flood of sensational rumor which keeps the ignorant classes and the peasantry in a continual state of unrest, with the | evident purpose of making them be- lieve that a German yictory and the return of Constantine are near at hand. Some of these reports were of the fall :of Verdun, the flight of the French government from Paris, and & separate peace by Russia. The government and the allied diplomats are satisfied that all this is part of a systematic campaign by which the Central powers are operating through the element favorable to the lat king. U. S. Feet to Rescue. An American official closely in touch with recent events tells how a report circulated that an American fleet was coming to support King Constantine. This report was widely helieved and ! A remarkable picture taken in the French machine had been printed as a fact in the local press. One of the King's household met the American minister, Mr. Drop- pers, and said: “At last we are ta have the Ameri- can fleet.” “Indeed,” said the American minis- ter, “when is it coming.” “Very soon; it has passed Gibral- ter: we have telegrams from that point.” : “I am sorry to differ with, you,” said the minister, *but I don’t be- lieve the fleet is coming.” “Why not,” demanded official. “Because,” said the minister, “if an American fleet it sent to Greece the American minister will be one of the first to know it.” the royal 1 This put an end to the report that the fleet was coming, and it brought about considerable. coolness toward the American authorities. It is this sort of rumor, for political effect, that martial law will seek to stop. The rigors of this martial law are indicated by the rules issued by the commanding General of the Athens district. One of the prohibitions he lays down is as follows: ““The communication in any public manner, by expose opinion, or in- formation, of anything likely to in- crease in the eyes of the people the Vosges gunners force of the enemy or to diminish our force or that of our allies, or which will attribute too much importance to the dangers of the war and the losses it involves, or inspires fear or uncertainty among the people or in the army; or doubt upon a favor- able issue of the war, or upon its ef- ficacy, or upon the necessity to con- sent to all sacrifices in view of this issue.” Another prohibition is against ex- pressing any ‘‘hope or tendency in favor of the reversal of the present regime.” This sweeping measure puts an end to any open plottings by the old regime, but it remains to be seen to what extent they can carry on their work in secret.

Washington, Sept., 26.—The United States Government has uncovered a | mass of evidence showing that Count | Von Bernstorff while ambassador sub- | sidized an expensive press burean which supplied many papers with “true news’” concerning the war. l This disclosure has no direct bear- ing upon the personal subsidies which he paid ta newspapers or to America newspaper men like Edwin Emerson and James F. J. Archibald. It was maintained as a separate in- stitution, and its ramifications reached throughout North and South America. Its Expenses Heavy. The bills for its maintenance were very great. Its telegraph and cable tolls are reported to have been greater than those paid by some of the legitie mate news supplving agencies. The government possesses a list of some of the greater expenditures and copies of bills showing the prices paid to the telegraph and cable com- panies, coupled with the names of The evidence present, but the Administration may | decide to give it wide publicity soon.

Bernstorff had on his payroll a number of writers who were supposed to be experts on every phase of the war, of politics and of economics in their relation to world trade.

Washington, Sept., 26.—Senate and house fareign affairs committees met in joint session today to consider parliamentary leaders invitations to delegation to Europe in view of President Wilson's failure to endorse the proposal. It was thought probable that recom- mendation would be made that ac- ceptance of the invitation would be inadvisable at this time.

Gen. Maxwell, Formerly With Lord Kitchener, is Killed in Ac- tion, Says London. London, Sept., 26.—Brig. Gen. Maxwell, V. C., D. S. O. a member of the late Earl Kitchener’s Indlan staff, has been killed in action, according to a report in the Express. With the exception of Lieut. Gen. Birdwood, says the Express, it is a remarkable fact that all of Earl Kitchener’s In- dian staff have lost their lives in this war. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, says the Daily Mail, has been informed that his eldest son, Captain J. K. Law, R. F. C. is missing. His second son, Lieut. C. J. Law, has been a prisoner of the Turks since last April and a third son, Anthony, is SIMPLE WINTER GOWN OF PEACH GEORGETTE Though it is simple, and of neces- sity war times will make for simplic- ity in winter gowns and winter func- tions, this creation for both formal 1t is of peach georgette gracefully draped and richly trimmed with bands of silver fox.
