 At 1:16 o'clock this afternoon the fire department was again called out, this time to the corner of Chestnut and Stanley streets where a shed owned by w. F. Steele was on fire. Sparks from a nearby bonfire ignited the shingles. There was little dam age.
 The last call came in at 1:30 o'clock when the dump on Putnam street. smouldering for weeks, was famed into a brisk blaze by the wind. A stream of water was turned on sub duing the blaze.

Claims TeutoniC Attack on Serbia
 Releases Her From Obligation
OF ARMED INTERVENTION
Note Says That ''It Must Not Be For gotten That Greece Is An Indipen- dent Nation That Disposes of Its Fate in Full Sovereignty.

Paris, Oct. 23, $50 a. m-The Athens correspondent of the Havas Agency sends this despatch under Fri days date, relative to the attitude of Greece concerning the war:
 All the evening papers publish an identical note, said to be an exact rep resentation of the governments view point in the situation. The note ex- presses surprise at the intervention of the powers in the relations between Greece and Serbia, the faculty of in- depreciation of the treaty of alliance of those countries belonging exclusive ly to the contracting parties, the ac- cord having been freely concluded without the intervention or guarantee of third party.
 Greece Independent Nation.
 It must not be forgotten says the note, that Greece is an indepen- dent nation that disposes of it's fate in full sovereignty
 The note goes on to say that the Austro-German attack on Serbia re- leases Greece at least from the obli- gation of armed intervention, and that independent of that attack it Is ma terially impossible for Serbia to give Greece the support of 150,000 men, stipulated in the treaty in case of war with Bulgaria, and that the entente powers have not furnished a contin- gent equivalent. The note adds that the specialists best qualified consider that the Balkan expedition would re- quire at least 100000 men, and that under these conditions Greece would ruin herself without even the consola- tion of saving Serbia.
 Allowing Passage of Troops.
 On the other hand says the note, Greece offers all the service she can render in allowing the free passage over it's territory ofAfhe allied troops going to the Serbian front, and in maintaining her own army on war footing
 "The note expresses the gratitude of Greece for the offers made, though not yet concrete, and thanks England for the entente offer of Cyprus. It recalls the Greek sympathies for the entente and the benevolence of the neutrality maintained thus far. It ends by saying that Greece does not forget that a state, no matter how small, has the absolute right to regu- late itself its own fortunes"
