Deer.

Deer season opens in Pennsyl-
vania next Wednesday. Each
hunter may kill one deer during
the season that closes on Decem-
ber 18th that is, if he can. Full
ton county is rapidly becoming
the hunting grounds for hundred
of men from counties west of US.
There may be twenty-five deer
in the county; but we have not
heard of half that number. If
as many men from outside the
county come to hunt deer as came
during the first week of the tur-
key season, and these be added
to the native hunters who will be
out the first day, there will be
one deer to every forty men. 1t
is during the deer season that
most accidents occur. Hunters
do not always wait to see the
horns of a deer as required by
law, and they bang at moving
objects and hit a man. We con-
gratulate the hunters of Fulton
county for the few accidents that
occur in our woods each season.
The one reported last fall is said
to have been caused by a man
shooting bucksbot-someth n g
strictly forbidden by law.

NEW CABINET in GREECE
FORMED TO DELAY CRISIS
All Members of Old Cabinet Retain
Seats-Outcome of Election
Would be Uncertain.

Che political crisis in Greece, which
has clouded the Balkans, finally has
been overcome, NJ. Skouloudis having
accepted and performed the task of
organizing cabinet which, being
composed of all the members of the
Zaimis government, with the eXcep-
ton of the ex-premier himself, will
carry on the former government
policy. of maintaining neutrality.
The new cabinet, says a London
dispatch, is at the mercy of the Veni-
zelos majority in the chamber, but
the impression is that no attempt
will be made to turn it out, thus
avoiding dissolution of parliament
and consequent election, the result
of which could not be predicted
while their army remains mobilized.
Athens reports that NJ. Skouloudis,
commissioner by King Constantine to
form a new cabinet, has accomplish
ed the task. All the members Of the
Zaimis ministry are retained except
the premier himself. The new prime
minister has taken the portfolio of
foreign affairs The formation Of the
new cabinet, it is generally assumed,
will delay if not eliminate the crisis
which probably would follow dis
solution Of the chamber by the king.
1t is believed IN political circles
that the chamber Of deputies prob
ably will be prorogued in ten days, as
it then will have sat for the final
term Of three months. NJ. Venibelos
and his followers are expected to ap-
prove this solution of the problem,
which makes it possible to avoid dis
solution and elections, the result of
which would be uncertain, owing to
the pressure which would be exerted
by the government and the pro-Ger-
man propaganda.

WOMEN in SERBIAN TRENCHES
Nearly 1000 in Service and More are
Being Organized.

There were nearly two thousand
women in Serbia's army when left
and more women soldiers were being
organized" said DR.. Gruitch, Ser
hian army doctor in London. Some
Of them wear the complete uniform
of a soldier while others wear skirts
with a blue tunic The younger wo-
men go with their brothers or their
husbands. The women are Of every
class, and we can not prevent them
from serving. They inspire the men,
with whom they march and with
whom they eat and serve shoulder to
shoulder in the trenches.
These women are not afraid. No
body in Serbia is afraid and the wo-
men in the ranks do not lose their
nerve under fire.
1--WE realize the great power OF
our friends in the war. Every SOL
der feels that We are only part Of a
world army, and if it is necessary
that our army shall be lost-well
it is only part. There is time yet
to save Serbia, but assistance can not
come too quickly"

GREEK CABINET RESIGNS;
ELECTION WILL BE HELD
Een:zelos Overthrows Zaimis Govern
ment-Parliamen Will be
Dissolved.

The defea. of the Greek govern
ment in the chamber of deputies and
the consequent resignation Of the
Zaimis cabinet is the latest sensation
afforded by the Balkans.
While it was understood that
Eleutherios Venizelos, former pre-
mier, had the power to turn the gov
ernment out whenever he desired,
having the majority in the chamber
the fall of Zaimis came Unexpectedly,
as it was believed that the leader OF
the majority had decided to accord
the premier sufficient support to en-
able him to remain in office, for the
present, at least.
AS so often happens, however, a
vote of confidence was demanded by
the government on a matter Of minor
mportance-some difference of opln-
ion between NJ. Venizelos and the
minister Of war, Gen. Yanakitsas, on
military proposals-and the govern
ment was defeated, 147 to ia.
In London the first impression was
that the government's defeat would
mean. the immediate recall of N
Venizelos and the fulhilment of the
original agreement between him and
the allied powers to go to Servla's
assistance. Later dispatches from
Athens, however, indicated possible
dissolution Of parliament.
Should this occur, it would be al
least two months before an election
could be held and the new chamber
meet. In the meantime, either the
Zaimis cabinet, the resignation OF
which has not yet been accepted
with perhaps a change in the minis
try of war, or some other cabinet
favoring the kings policy Of con
tinued neutrality, would have charge
of affairs.
Even should VI. Venizelos be called
upon to form a new government, 1t l:
not certain that he would join the
Allies at present, but the Quadruple
Entente would have the assurance
that Greece would not turn against 1t

tribunals which are in its opinion,
unauthorized by the unrestricted ap-
plication of international law to
grant reparation, nor to refrain from
presenting their claims directly to the

Secretary Lansing, moreover, de-
MES in this connection that the
changes, such as pilotage, wharfage,
unloading costs, etc., against a de-
tanned vessel must be paid by the
claimants, and adds that the United
States is "loathe to believe that such
ungenerous treatment will continue
to be accorded American citizens.
Any waivers of indemnity exacted
from American citizens under such
conditions of duress," it is declared,
can not preclude them from subse-
quently obtaining redress through
