countrywoman, makes his adieu and
retires. A court official, brisk and
courteous, takes me in charge.
His Majesty is ready" A mo-
ment's walk brings~us to the royal
study. The eozanai opens the door;
the grand equerry bows and retires.
A big, sunlit room, book lined, fur
nished in strong, dark colors, several
deep, low, leather chairs, an i'm
mense may trailing across table, all
about a rigidly limited collection of
marble fragments; signed photo

desk to shake hands!
And | note the king in his study
is more simply uniformed than any
man in HIS palace!
Constantine of Greece, now at the
vigorous age of forty-ive, is tall as
a lance and as straight. His long
head. and gray eyes indicate his Dan
ish blood, his womanly lower lip and
unexpected dimples are an inherit
ance from his Russian mother. His
English is sailed with the idioms of
an American collegian, raped out
in the curt enunciation of one accus-
toned to command.
"You want me to talk of our war?
Mademoiselle, am a soldier an
orator." he began. But 1 can say
this: We Greeks have won our recent
glorious victory because, each soldier
believed victory, or defeat, depended
on him! None fought for hire. Greeks
came from Attica and Thermopylae,
from the Caucasus and America.
Zach loved our little Greece with
all his heart! Every man knew he
was needed. Compared with the
beefy Bulgarians, they seemed to me
small, of light weight, immature,
only they were old lin endurance.
Bizani, for instance, was taken by

victims from pit, old men and Wo-

Doxato, Bulgar troops surrounded a
hill where Capt Cordale later found
babies bodies Ianced through and

ct is estimated that Bulgarians
have massacred in one year between
100000 and 100000 peaceful nom
combatants- men, women and chill
dren. Not a village through which
they passed but was looted and par
tally burned!'
The kings jaw squared. His closed
fist smote the table nervously as if
he hesitated to voice horrid mem
DRY. His majesty's easy courtesy
tempted me to speak. Every soldier
knows that when the royal COM
mander-in-chief sent his men into a

my sons, being officers, belonged

my eldest son was nearly killed

BY the mercy of God he was not

~ YOUNG SHUGRUE..

New York, Nov. 2S.-Young Shu-
grue. OF Jersey City. has agreed to
make 1ss pounds at s o'clock for his
fight with Freddie Welsh at Madison
Square Garden the night of December
2. Welsh will enter the ring at catch
weights. which means that he will be
perhaps two pounds heavier than his
challenger. This may prove a great
handicap to the little chap from
Jersey City. but he seems willing to
take the chance. and should he win
the greater will be the glory In the

minds OF many fans" the demands
Of Welsh appear to be unreasonable.
Since winning the title Welsh has
made weight for the Ave men he has
fought and there is only one reason
why he imposes a penalty on the
Jersey boxer, and that is Shrugue is
too tough a proposition to meet on
even terms. Welsh appreciates Shu-
grue's ability. and since the latter
won SO decisively over Walter Mohr
and frankie Mack the topnotchers are
not falling over themselves in signing
up with him.

There Is a strip OF land about fifteen
miles long and Ave miles wide west of

American Physicians has pronounced
the most healthy spot in the United
States. owing to the fact that snow and
ce are almost unknown there. and the
whole tract is either covered with OF
surrounded by a heavy growth of long
leaf ferns. The climate there from De
embcr to March is tempered by the
gulf stream and is ideal. The reflex of
a coast storm coming from the north
may bring a mild, cold spell for day or
two. but no longer and the thermometer
rarely ever drops below 45 to 30.

not allowed to be cut without a special

MAY RAISE
TIE EMBARGO

WASHINGTON, Jam. d. President
Wilson is again considering the lifting
OF the embargo which prevents McNicau
rebels obtaining arms and ammunition
in this country.
The President has been moved to con-
sideraiion OF the proposal because of the
progress of the revolutionary movement
and because OF the tonacity oi iluerta
In hanging on m spite oi financial stress
and dissention in the Federal army.
The President and Secretary of state
Bryan conferred for AN hour yesterday.
and. il is said, the plan to lit the em-
bargo was freely discussed, as were re-
cent reports made TO the state Depart
ment by It's representative in MoNico,
including John Lind the Presidents per-
sonal adviser. and Nelson OShnugh
Messy the American charge at Mexico
City.
Tho President believes he can lift
the embargo BY Executive decree In
event he finds he cannot do this he
may ask Congress TO do II. This pro-
cess would take only q few hours
with both Houses sitting daily and a
majority always in attendance
It Is not the intention OF the Presi-
dent to take any immediate step, pos
sibly not for two or three weeks
The President and his advisers have
abandoned hope of the revolutionists
reaching the capital unaided foi
months Despite their assertions tC
the contrary, It Is known they are
short OF ammunition Tor small arms
and short on field artillery.
