2 NEW GOYERNMENT || IN GREECEDEFEATED 'War Party in Parliament Refuses to Bustain Foreign Policy of the Zaimis Ministry. § |CABINET PROBABLY WILL QUIT | PARIS, Nov. 4.—The Zaimis gov- lernment in Athens was defeated in a {discussion of foreign polities in Par- llament today and is expected to re- slgn, says a Havas dispateh from Athens. A discussion of proposed military laws, the report says, ralsed a ques- tion between the minister of war, Ity party of former Premlier telos. On this issue Premier Zaimis decided to ask a vote of confidence. General Yanakitsas, and the major-| Vent- | . The dfscussion turned to the for- | eign polley of the government. M Zaimis declared it was impossible for ernment, whose policy he considered harmful to the Interests of the coun- try. All the party leaders engaged In (the discussion. The final vote was {147 against the government to 114 | for. Premier Zaimis has been in office less fithan a month, having been asked by King Constantine to form a cabinet after the resignation of Premier Venizelos on October 6 The retirement of the Venizelos ministry grew ont of its poliey in favor of entering the war with Serbia against Bulgaria, to do which, M, Veni- Zelos maintained, Greece was bound by treaty obligations. The king took the ground that in the circumstances Greece was not obligated to take up arms. M. Venizelos resigned the premiership in April, owing to disagreement with the king on a similar question of for- elgn policy, but won ‘a pronounced vie- tory in the general slections of June and returned to office in August. His ma- Jority In Parltament remalned intact after his retirement last month and the Paimis ministry was able to maintain ftsel! before Parllament only by the moquiescence of M. Venizelos. In a speech on October 13 the former premier sald Groece should not allow Bulgaria %o crush Serbia.

Part of our problem is the problem of what I may call mobllization of the resources of the nation at proper time If 1t should ever be neces sary to mobllize them for national de- fense.

Under the new world conditions we have tecome thought- | ful of the things which all reasonable men consider necessary for mecurity and self-defense on the part of every nation confronted with the great enterprise of human Iiberty and independence. That is all Is the plan we propose sane and rea- sonable and suited to the needs of the hour® Does it not conform to the anclent traditions of America? Has any better plan been proposed than this program {that we now place before the country? In it there is no pride of opinion. It rep- resents the best professional and expert Juagment of the country. But I am not #0 much Interested, in programs as I am In safeguarding at every cost the good faith and honor of the country. If men differ with me in this vital matter, I shall ask them to make it clear how far made ob- country safe against disturbance. Spenks nn Trastee of Nation. | In the fultiliment of the program I pro- | pose 1 shall ask for the hearty support of the country, of the rank and file of America, of men of all shades of political | opinion For my position In this impor- tant matter is different from that of the | | private Individual who ia free to speak his own thoughts and to risk his own In this matter. We are here| Gealing with things that are vital to the ife of Amerfca itself. In dolng this T | have tried to purge my heart of all per- | ronal and seifish motives For the time | being 1 speak as the trustee and guar-| dian of a nation's rights, charged with | the duty of speaking for that nation in matters involving her sovereignty—a na- | | tion too big and generous to be exacting, | | ana yet courageous enough to defend its | rights and the iberties of its peopls wher- | ever assalled or invaded. I would not | teel that 1 was discharging the solemn | obligations 1 owe the country were I not | to speak in terms of the deepest solemnity | of the urgency and necessity of preparing | ourselves to guard and protect the rights and privileges of our people, our sacred heritage of the fathers who struggle to| make us an independent nation opinions Hyphenated Are Clamorous. The only thing within our own borders that has given us grave concern in re cent months has been that voices have been raised in America professing to be the volces of Americans which were not | indeed and in truth American, but which | | spoke alien sympathies, which came from |men who loved other countries better | than they loved America, men who were partisans of other causes than that of America and had forgotten that their | chief and only allegiance was to the | great government under which they live. These volces have not been many, but they have been very loud and very clam- | PJorous. They have proceeded from a few | who were bitter and who were grievously misled. America has not opened its | those who have come to take advan- tage of her hospitality have united their spirits with hers as well as their for- | tunes. These men who speak allen sym- | pathies are not their spokesmen, but are the spokesmen of sgmall groups whom it is high time that the nation should call to & reckoning. The chief thing necessary in America In order that it should let all the world know that she is prepared to maintaln its own great position is that the real voice'‘of the nation should | sound forth unmistakably and in majestic | volume, in the deep unison of & common unhesitating national feeling. 1 do not | doubt that upon the first occasion, upon | the first opportunity, upon the first defi- | nite challenge, that voice will speak forth | in tones which no man can doubt and | with commands which no man dare gain- | say or resist. Rebukes Sectarinn Antagonism. May 1 ngt say, while I am speaking of this, that there ls anothey danger that we ghould guard against? We should rebuke not only manifestations of racial feeling here In America where there | should be none, but also every mani- testation of religious and sectarian an- tagonism. It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his consclence and worship God as he pleases, men should raise the ery of hurch against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heari. of America. We are a God-fearing peo- ple. We agree to differ about methods of worship, but we are united in belleving in Divine Providence and in worshiping | the God of nations. We are the cham- | plons of eligious right here and every- where that it may be our privilege to &lve it our countenance and support. The | government s conscious of the obligation | and the nation is conmscious of the ob- ligation. Let no man create divisions | where there are none. Here is the nation God has buflded by | our hands. What shall we do with 1t? | Who is there who does not stand ready | and first consciousness of our power. The day of our country’s life is still but in it tresh morning. Let us lift our eyes to the great tracts of life yet to be con- | quered in the interests of righteous peace. Come, let us renew our allegiance %o America, conserve fits strength in Its purity, make its chief among those who serve mankind, self-reverenced, Self- commanded, mistress of all forces of quiet counsel, strong above all others in good will and the might of invineible justice and right. DAKOTA SUPREME COURT RULES ON THE REFERENDUM PIERRE. 8 D., Nov. 4—(Special Tele- gram. )—The supreme court today msos- tained the lower court of Beadle county in the “Richards primary case,” in which the contentions were the right of the lesg- isluture to repeal or amend an act placed upon the statute books by a vote of the people through the initiative, the holding being that the legislature has such right, That the Initiative clause of the consti- tution does not attempt to take from the legislature any rights granted to it by the constitution, but only gives to the people the power to command the legls- lature to act upon measures was lald down. The court also lays down the rule that regardless of the statement of the legislature that an act is an emergency measure it does not make it so to such an extent as to prevent the application of the referendum, regardliess of the num- ber of votes given for the measure, or the declaration to that effect, unless the | met comes under the plain constitutional provisions as to what is an emergenay.

There was no suspicion that the child was not dead, however, until she saw the picture of the boy adopted by the Shepards in the paper. The striking resemblance to the little fellow to her son, ‘“Johnnle” Wieman, reminded her that neither she nor her husband had ever seen the dead twin, According to her story, she has been visited several times by detectives from New York, who would not tell the ob- | Ject of their visits, but who seemed to be searching for information concerning & missing child. President Makes Clear His Program 0f Preparedness (Continued from Page One.) the same impulse and ultimate ob- Joct. All this {s very clear to us and will, I confidently predict, become more' and 'more olear to the wholoe world as the great processes of the future unfold themselves. It is with a full consclous- ness of suoh principles and such ambi- tions that we are asking ourselves at the present time what our duty is with re- gard to the armed force of the mnation. Within a year we have witnessed wha we did not belleve possible, a great European conflict Involving many ot the greatest nations of the world. The in- fluences of a great war are everywhere in the al All Burope is embattied. Force everywhere speaks out with a loud and imperious voice In a titanic struggle of governments, and from one md of our own dear country to the other men are asking one another what our own force is, how far we are pre- pared to maintain oursolves against any interference with our national action or development. To Make Sure of Security. In no man's mind, 1 am sure, is there even raised the question of the williful use of foroe on our part agalnst any nation or any people. No matter what military or naval force the United States might develop, statesmen throughout the whole world might rest assured that we ‘were gathering that force, not for attack in any quarter, not for aggression of any kind, not for the satisfaction of any poiitical or International ambition, but merely to make sure of our own secur- ity. We have it in mind to ve prepared, but not far war, but only for defense; and with the thought constantly in our minds that the principles we hold most dear can be achieved by the slow pro. coases of history only in the kindly and wholesome atmosphere of peace, and not by the use of hostile force. The mission of America In the world is essentially & mission of peace and good will among men, She has become the home and asylum of men of all creeds and races. Within its hospital borders they have found homes and congenial associations and freedom and a wide and cordial wel. come, and they have become a part of the bone and sinew and spirit of Amer- foa itself. America has been made up out of the nations of the world and is the friend of the nations of the world. But we feel justified in perparing our- selves to vindicate our right to inde- pendent and unmolesteq action by mak- Ing the force that is in us ready for as- mertion. Army Adequ to Keep Peace. And we know that we can do this in & way that will be ftself an ilustration of the American spirit. In soccordance with our American traditions we want and shall work for only an army ade- quate to the constant and legitimate uses of times of international peace. But we do want to feel that there is & great body of citisens who have recelved at least the most rudimentary and neces- sary forms of military training: that they will be ready to form themselves into a fighting force at the call of the nation; and that the nation has the mu- them without delay should it be neces- sary to call them into action. We wish to supply them with the training they need, and we think we can do so with- out calling them at any time too long away from their civilian pursults. Plan for Citisen Soldte It is with this idea, with this concep- tion, in mind that the plans have been made which it will be my privilage to lay before the congress at its next ses- slon. That plan calls for only such an in- crease In the regular army of the United States as experience has proved o be re- quired for the performance of the neces sary duties of the army In the Philip- N ) nitions and supplies with which to ‘qu!h' pines, In Hawall, In Porte Rico, upon the | borders of the United States, at the coast fortifications, and at the military posts of the Interfor, For the rest, it calls for the training within the next three years of a force of 400,000 citizen soldlers to be ralsed In annual contingents of 133,000, who would be asked to onlist for three years with the colors anq three years on furlough, but who during their three years of enlistment with the colors would not be organised as a standing force, but would be expected merely to undergo in- tensiye training for a very brief period of each year. Their training would take place in immediate association with the organized units of the regular army. It would have no touch of the amateur about it, neither woulq it exact of the volunteers more than they could give in any one year from their civilian pursuits. Not batitute for Militia, And none of this would be done in such & way as in the slightest degree to super- sede or subordinate our present service- able and effielent National Guard. On the contrary, the National Guard itself would be used as part of the'instrumentality by which training would be given the citisens who enlisted under the new con- ditions, and I should hope and expect that the legislation by which all this would be accomplished would put the National Guard itself upon a better and more per- manent footing than it has even been be- fore, giving it not only the recogmition which it deservesi but a more definite support from the national government and a more definite connection with the military organization of the nation. What we all wish to accomplish is that the forces of the nation should indeed be part of the nation and not a separate professional force, and the chief cost of the system would not be in the enlistment or in the training of the men, but in the providing of ample equipment in case it should be necessary to oall all forces into the fleld. Navy Fiest Li of Defense. Moreover, it has been American policy time out of mind to look to the navy as the first and chief line of defense. The navy of the United States s already a very great efficlent force. Not rapldly, but slowly, with careful attention, our naval force has been developed until the navy of the united States stands recog- nized as one of the most efficient and notable of the modern time. All that is needed in order to bring it to a point of extraordinary force and efficlency as compared with the other navies of the world is that we should hasten our pace In the policy we have long been pursuing, and that chief of all we should have a definite policy of development, not made from year to year, but looking well into the future and planning for a definite ———————————————————————————— ELECT the cloth and we'll add distino- tion to your personslity with a suit costing you | 315 South 15th Street. — TR This Store Is OPPO The Real Thing This Sale of In uncommon courtesies HAND BAGS ~—of its helpers.
