JAMES L0 [o]—F[o[=—=]a]——c=]5] RESULT OF THE GREEK PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS Considered a Personal Triumph for Former Premier Venizelos, Paris, Dec. 21, 4.25 p. m.—One-third of the 700,000 Greek voters cast bal- lots in the parliamentary elections, says a Havas despatch from Athens filed by the correspondent there today. Out of 35,263 voters in Saloniki, 4,050 voted. The partisans of former Premier Venizelos considered the result a per- sonal triumph for him, the despatch says, because he asked the supporters not to vote. On_election morning, according to the correspondent, every voter received e circular reading: “Venizelos wishes war. The king does not wish it. The king asks counsel of the people.” The circular concluded: “Will you save the country? Will you save the king? Come and vote.” FRENCH WINE CROP OF 1915 NEARLY 477,000,000 GALLONS.

Part of Programme of Labor Party in Qu and. Brisbane, Australla, Dec. 21.—Logis- lation hostile to American meat inter- ests in Queensland is sald to be part of the immediate programme of the la- bor party that has coms into power.

There has arisen some suspicion of German in- terests concerned in some of the Amer- ican meat companies operating in Queensland. The assistant minister for justice declared that Chicago pack- ers were not only supplying Germany with meat but had “actually threatened to starve Great Britain If the meat was not permitted to go to Germany.” SOCIALIST DELEGATION IN REICHSTAG SPLIT With Regard to the Attitude of the Socialists in the War.
