VENIZELOS IS NOW
LEADER OF REVOLT
LONDON, Sept. 25,—Unconfirmed
.Athens reports say that Venizelos
has gone to Salonika to head the
revolutionary government which has
taken in charge the affairs of the
Kingdom and that a general provi
sional government has now been or
ganized.
News however from Greece is un
certain and unsatisfactory, but every
thing is indicating that the country
is in a most chaotic condition. Eng
lish papers owing to the absence of
authentic and official dispatches are.
quite in ignorance of the actual si
tuation. It is felt however that ex
traordinary disorders which prevail
in Greece have a most hampering
effect upon the operations of the
Allies being unable to Insure against
a flank attack from the pro-German
ist officers in the royal army.
BERLIN, Sept. 25.—The Staat’s
Zeitung which has been furnishing
exclusive official reports as to the
Greek situation says that today Ve
nizelos arrived in Salonika.
Venizelos is the avowed puppet
of the Entente Powers and is now
the organizer of the revolt against
King Constantine, the Allies being
unable to break the King’s deter
mination to keep his country neutral
and out of the war at all costs. His
government has still control of the
situation and should the Allies be
shown to have aided the revolt
against the constituted government
of the country, war will be declared
against them.
ATTENTION PIONEERS!
Members will please assemble at
the Pioneers Igloo, at 1:30 p. m.,
Wednesday, September 27th, to at
tend the funeral of out late Brother,
Judge J. J. Wachenheimer.

A GENERAL TIE-UP
IS NOT EXPECTED
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The New
York Times differs in the general
.•view of the strike situation, probab
ly voicing the hope of the majority
of employers in declaring that the
prospects of a general tie-up appear
to be remote, only the butchers and
longshoremen voting to strike.
The labor leaders are described
as making frantic efforts to con
summate the strike, and point blank
deny that but two unions voted to
walk out.
The leaders declare that only those
organizations which voted to strike
will be called to walk out, but that
will involve the majority of the
trade unions in the city.
Apparently all hope of any settle
ment has been given up by the me
diators for they all seem to have
abandoned the field.* A good many
of the traction men feel that they
were betrayed by Mitchell when
they walked out the first time, a
fake settlement having been made
which at no time was intended to be
lived up to, by the traction compa
nies. The employees hold that the
companies were playing for time
and that the Mayor’s settlement
gave the companies the time they
wanted.
The street car system is still in a
highly demoralized condition. The
public is not patronizing the cars
for one reason or another and no
schedule is observed.

MEXICAN COMMISSIONERS ARE
ANXIOUS TROOPS WITHDRAW
NEW LONDON, fcon., Sept. 25.—
The Mexican Commissioners here
insist that the Carranzists are able
to control the Mexican situation
■without the presence of American
troops any longer.
The American Commissioners are
trying to get the Mexicans, before
considering this phase of the nego
tiations, to study the needs of the
international relations of Mexico
and the United States.
The Mexicans ridicule the reports
as to the ViJig raid ip ch)bn»hua
state and point out the fact that re
cent reports show that the attack
was really insignificant and al
though this has been so officially
stated, the official statements were
ignored while the most absurd state
ments as to Villa’s strength were in
tho meanwhile published in the
papers with a view of causing Am
erican intervention.
There is the possibilty of the
Commission becoming deadlocked
on the question of the removal of
the American troops from Mexico.
The first and very alarming reports
from Mexico gave the American
commissioners good grounds for de
nying the fittingness of such remo
val, but the more sober reports now
coming out with official sanction
leaves tjxeir resistance to the Mex
ican demand less unanswerable. The
Mexican commissioners asked to be
allowed to show positively how tri
viva] a matter the Villa raid really
was.

GRAIN DEALERS CHEER
WILSON
BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.—WhiU
the Chicago bakers have been petl
tioning the President to call a spe
cial session for the placing of an
embargo on food stuffs the grair
dealers were cheering Wilson to the
echo when he appeared before theii
convention now in session here tc
address them. The majority of the
delegates to the convention are ac
tual exporters.
Wilson defended the Federal
Shipping Bill, and the present tarifl
for revenue only, declaring that un
der the latter business had been un
excelled at anytime in the history oi
the country. The future would be
adequately protected by the demo
crats, and for himself he would
say that he wanted America to ex
cel and not exclude its rivals. By
excelling and not excluding they
would build upon a firmer basis
than ever for world wide competi
tion.
Republican speakers had con
trasted the great efficiency of Ger
many and other nations with the
United States. But they failed to
point out that the real reason for
this was that being highly protected
by a high tariff and controlling ab
solutely their domestic market, the
American manufacturers had no
reason to strive for excellence and
efficiency, because they had to fear
no rival and they followed for this
reason archaic methods which now
they knew had to be abandoned if
they were to succeed. He wanted
nothing done which would interfere
with the friendship of the Latin
Americans.

CAPTAIN REVEALS GERMAN
SECRET AGENTS LONDON
LONDON, Sept. 25.—When the
British captured intact a German
Zeppelin forced to descend by rea
son of punctured gas tanks, the en
tire crew on Saturday night was
also captured.
Today the captain of the Zeppelin
when being taken to the prison
camp at Aldershot asked permission
to telephone to some one in London
who will inform his wife that he
was safe.
The permission was given with
unusual alarcity and before the im
prisoned officer realized what he had
done, the phone connection asked
for and given him, placed in the
hands of the British the leader’s
address of the elaborate spy system
which has defied all their efforts to
discover. It was known that per
fect signals were exchanged between
some parties in London and Ger
many, but all efforts to discover
them failed. Twenty arrests have
been secretly made, but the govern
ment refuses to divulge any parti
culars.
The announcement has created
astonishment at the German cap
tain’s lapse of discretion.
LONDON, Sept. 25.—The War Of
fice persits in the statement that
the loss of life in the recent Zeppe
lin raid so far is undetermined. It
is known to have been huge. It is
estimated ten Zeppelins took part in
the great raid.

ELEVEN KING’S GUARD
ALONE WERE LOYAL
LONDON, Sept. 25.—A Reuter
dispatch from Athens late this even
ing describing the revolution in
Crete says that the insurgents who
are all real followers of Venizelos
are in complete possession, thirty
thousand soldiers leading the revolt
and now controlling the island.
Only eleven of the King’s guard
remained loyal to the last.
The same dispatch says that Can
nes was captured without the shedd
ing of a drop of blood the insurg
ents being welcomed by the towns
people and cheered repeatedly.
LONDON, Sept. 25.—The Admi
ralty reports that no Allied war
ships were in the vicinity of Crete
when that island revolted. Since
then ships have sailed for Cannea.
ROME, Sept. 25.—A brief report
without details says that the Ital
ians today succeeded in cutting off
the water supply of Trieste, having
undermined the aqueducts and
destroyed them.
——wimmmmm I I
L'ltalia commenting upon this,
bulletin says that the troops prob
ably advanced from Monfalcone thir
teen miles north of Trieste and thus
accomplished the feat. <
VIENNA, Sept. 25.—No advices
have been received of the Trieste
water supply being cut off. It is
immaterial. Abundant means of
distilling salt water are ready for
any such emergency.

ASSURES EVERYTHING IS
MOST FRIENDLY AMERICA
WASHINGTON, D. C., S£pt. 25.—
The State Department has received
aiurances from the Anglo-French
bureaus that they intend no discri
mination whatever against United
States commerce
It is the intention of the govern
ments and financial men of both the!
countries to consider the United
States as .always on the most favor
ed and friendly nation footing.
ft is believed that this positive
assurance is made to cover the
ground for a discussion of the blank
