Athens, April 2S.-The fall OF the min
istry is now regarded as certain.
Popular feeling points to a revolution
In favor Of a republic. The citizens are
greatly excited by the revelations made
oy former Minister Rail- as to the con-
duct Of the campaign. Large meetings
have been held In Constitution square
and other places Of public resort and
fiery harangues have been delivered by
well known orators in denunciation Of
'those who would betray Greece"
pa Yesterday afternoon. 500 men formed
themselves into volunteer body, forced
their way into the gunsmiths' shops,
armed themselves with rifles and re-
volvers and paraded the streets In front
Of M. Ralli's residence. Several dep
uties addressed them, exhorting them to
remain calm and TO await the progress
Of events. Finally they proceeded to
the royal palace. where. after. making a
demonstration, they dispersed without
further disorder, But the incident has
made q great sensation.

engagement took place at Plaka, the re-
suit Of which Is not yet known. since the
enemy maintains its positions. though
the Greek artillery have inflicted great
damage at the villages Of Kalentzi and
Fortosi. where the Turks were consen-
trated. The Turks left the route from
Pentepighadia to Janina open. The
Greek cavalry reconnoitered without
encounterng the enemy until about eight
hours ride from Pentepighadia. when
they met 300 Turks, who fired upon the
Greeks. though without effect.
The Turks have abandoned the entire
Lourches valley and the country around
Souli. The situation at Prevesa Is salts

discouraged. and their garrison has been
diminished by wholesale desertions. We
need dre-enforcements and mountain bat
teries. We have captured large guam
titles Of ammunition, especially for ar
tillery use, in the positions abandoned
by the Turks.

produce Of the United Kingdom. The
action of the Dominion government in
making q reduction In the duties on

fact to their respective governments.

on the Frontier.
London, April 28.-The correspondent
of The Daily Telegraph at Athens says:
King George emphatically repudiates
all responsibility for the precipitate re-
treat of the army. He asserts that he
received a telegram from his aide-de-
camp. Colonel Sapountsake. asking him
to allow the retreat. The king replied.
II am at Athens and cannot form an
adequate judgment az to what should
be done In Thessaly; whereas. you are
on the spot, acquainted with all the data
and, therefore, In q position to act ac-
cording to the circumstances OF the case.
Exercise your best discretion"
Colonel Sapountsake replied: Retreat
IL absolutely necessary. and I shall take
upon myself the responsibility Of order
ing IT," This explanation has not been
made known to the public here. but even
IL published 1t would not avail, because
the politicians say that Colonel Sapount-
sake was the kings favorite, and had
never distinguished himself In the army,
and had not the shadow Of a claim to be
entrusted with the conduct OF the war.
For all this the king Is made respon-
sible. 1t is further urged against him
that he has virtually commanded the
feet, through Prince George. who has
only obeyed the palace orders, and thus
rendered serious operations impossible.
The correspondent of The Standard at
Athens says:
The Greek campaign in Epirus has
been suspended for the time being. On
account Of events here, the king has In
duced the minister OF marine to retain
his office for the present. The rumor
that nj. Rail- had been summoned to
form a cabinet was untrue. Accord
ing to an official note. the king told M.
Delyannis that he would for the future
refrain from interfering In any way with
the direction Of the campaign.

MR.. YULE GIVES $500.
He Generously Starts subscription Paper
for the Public Library

The first annual meeting of the Ke-
nosha Public library was held at the
library room Monday evening. The
attendance was very fair, but what it
lacked in numbers was we'll made up
for in enthusiasm, and the enthusiasm
was not without its proper foundation.
The reports of the officers showed that
the library was in most excellent con-
dition and that it had become one of
the indispensable public institutions.
All of the reports made by the officers
will be found in this paper as fast as
they can be presented from day to day
until complete. The reports were
made by the president, librarian, treas
nrer and secretary.
Immediately following these reports
W. W. Strong, James Cavanagh and
E. l.. Grant were elected to succeed
themselves as directors, their terms to
run three years.
President Strong announced that it
would be necessary for the association
to take some sort of vote on whether
the policy which has been pursued in
the year past should be continued for
another year, or whether it was desir-
able to ask the citizens at the spring
election to make the library a city in
stitution. Some discussion followed
this announcement in which the gen.
eral trend of opinion seemed to be that
the city was not yet ready to take the
library and it was voted on motion OF
E. l.. Grant, to- continue as an associs-
ton for at least another year.
President Strong then stated that at
the last meeting of the board of direct
ors it was partly decided to start a.
subscription paper for the library.
George Yule stated at that meeting
that he would start the list with $500.
The generosity of Mr.. Yule was heartily
appreciated by the association. And
there is little doubt of its enthusiastic
reception on the part of the public
which has received such great benefits
from the use Of the library the past
year.
Principal E. G.. Wiswall, Of the high
school, after making a few appropriate
remarks concerning the excellent work
of Mrs. Barnes as librarian in assisting
the work of the school children, pre-
sented resolution offering her the
thanks of the association in apprecia-
ton of the conscientious and efficient
manner in which she has discharged
her onerous and responsible duties.
The resolution was passed unanimously.
The secretary announced that the
library left by Col. NJ. Frank was do
mated to the public library by E. r.
Head. The books were received with
the thanks of the association. Then
the meeting adjourned.
