GREEKS AND BULGAR.ANS
CLASH OPENLY IN EPIRUS
LONDON, Dec. 21-—An Athena
dispatch confirms earlier reports as
to clashes between the Greek border
force and the Bulgars using Mona
stir as their base. The clashes took
place in Epirus close to the border
of Servia and was provoked, it is
stated, by the Bulgars.
Evening dispatches suggest that
the demobilization of the Greeks
jr.'_y jif countermanded by the evia
ent intention of the Bulgars to force
the issue.
ROME, Dec. 21.—It is believed
that Germany will prevent the Bul
gars from a repetition of their at
tack upon the Greek border force.
With the situation as it now is
this is not to be thought of.
LONDON, Dec. 21.—It is stated
that Durazzo is the latest Teuton
objective and they are preparing to
march to attack that place.
BERLIN, Dec. 21.—Prussian off
ciai' <, '.a, jjTlfti* are given as two
million, two hundred and eighty

erent from the estimate made in
London.

CHRISTIANIA. Dec. 21.—Ben
Lindsey and Governor Hanna last
night addressed a peace meeting of
students wherein they laid dow.i
their ideas as to ending the war.
NEW YORK, Dee. 21.—What
may be considered a hostile press
is now generally ridiculing Ford and
his peace canipaign. It is held that
more harm than good will come out
of it.
LONDON, Dec. 21.—If the papers
were to be as candid as is the Satur
day Review, they would admit thai
frankly they do not understand the
Ford peace movement. The Satur
day Review declares that it has no
beginning and no end; nothing to
work upon; no hope to sustain it
self and certainly unless some se
cret understanding is had with the
Teutons nothing to justify its ex
istence. To the British the cam
paign of Ford is meaningless unless
it is not actually veiled hostility.

ASQUITH ASKS ANOTHER
MILLION BRITISH SOLDIERS
LONDON, Dec. 21.—Prime Minist-|
er Asquith is now asking for an
other million men. Over three
million eight hundred thousand have
been lecruited and another million
according to the Asquith demand
will be needed.
Lloyd George stated today that
the permission of organized labor to
allow unskilled labor to perform
the work heretofore done by skilled
tradesmen practically controls the
issue of the war, and without doubt
will solve all remaining difficulties
in the munition supply. _
George said that the government
had faced and overcome practically
all of its difficulties, the labor ques
tions involved, the sufficiency ol
voluntary enlistment, the munition
supply and the financial difficulties.
He admitted that the latter while
not so important, was presenting
some formidable problems but the
way he and his colleagues regarded
it was that the money was in the
United Kingdom to support this
war, and it would have to be sup
ported.
The political atmosphere in Great
Britain is for the moment undis
turbed with, the evident intention
not to molest the government to an
excessive degree; the sharp attacks
upon the Northcliffs papers recently
has had a powerful result which is
manifested in the less aggressive
critcism in its columns.

RAILROAD RROTHEPHOODS
WANT EIGHT HOUR DAY
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—The various
railroad organizations are now sub
mitting the eight hour day question
to the members. It is believed that
the vote will carry for the eight I
hour day overwhelmingly.
The companies have reduced their
operating crews so extensively that
the number unemployed now in the
railroad industry is increasing all
the time. Larger engines carry
larger trains with less help than
ever before, and the tendency is to
wards a still further decrease. In
iddition the companies have been
increasing the work day for the
men employed, thus practically eltr
minating from employmout many
altogether.
Although the day Is long, the
men complain that they are actually
being paid for shorter time per
month than ever before.

TWO MORE PAPERS ARE
SUSPENDED IN GERMANY
COPENHAGTN, Doc. 20.—In ad
dition to the Lokai Anzoiger two
more papers in other sections of
Germany have been suspended for
severely criticizing the government’s
method of distributing food. It was
held that the government by its par
simonious methods was creating a
panic among the people that the
supply was short when there was no
shortage and no necessity for stint
ing.
The criticisms of the government
which excited the ire of tho offici
als was the statement that this po
licy was causing the development in
Germany of an unwarranted anxiety
for peace at any price.
The drastic methods of the gov
ernment has silenced the antago
nistic criticisms.
