Eleven Big Companies Form Lumber Exporters Steam
 ship Line.
WILL TRANSPORT OWN
 LUMBER TO EUROPE
Plan Is to Eventually Own Ships, But Vessels Are to Be Chartered at Once and Put in Trade Out of
 GulfpOrt and Mobile.

Memphis, Tenn. Oct 22.-Repre- sentatives of eleven big lumber eX- porting firms, aggregating s5,OO0 ,O00 capital, met in the Hotel Gayoso to- day and organized company tc charter steamships to carry Southern hardwoods from Gulf ports to the principal ports of Europe.
 The company has a capital stock of $10O,O0O, fully subscribed, and will operate under the name of the Lum- Der Exporters line. Organization was perfected upon permanent ba- sis, and it is planned eventually for the company to own and operate its own ships. T
 Inability of Southern hardwood ex- pcrters to transport their lumber profitably to European markets since the outbreak of the world war caused the lumber men to devise this means to protect their trade in Europe.
 Ocean rates have advanced steadily since the war started, and long since reached a prohibitory point.
 The company's home ports will be Mobile and Gulfport, both within easy access of the Southern hard wood territory At the start, at least the chartered ships will be sent regu- larly to London, Liverpool and Genoa Later the ships may call at other inn portant ports.

GREEK KING FIRM.
Keeps Word to Brother-in-Law at
 Cost of Nations Promise.
(Rv pr. E |. Dillon0

Rome, oct. 22.-Premier Zaim% intends that Grcsce, being nlnde\ penjent state, possessec the right to adopt a policy of armed neutrality, and that i i'll becomes the entente rowers to binder or penalize the ex- ercise Of those rights bv Greece, whose frisndliness towar dthe entente is notorious.
 The allies objections are derived from military considerations. The treaty obligations of Greece to Servia, they allege, were relied upon by the zntente powers S one of the essen- tial clements of the Balkan equili- brium which they contributed to establish, and are bound 10 uphold Hence, definite rcpudiation of these obligations is hardly compatible with friendly relations toward the states which are obliged to insist upon their obs sorvance. 2 Significant movement of troops are also reported.
 Owing to the simple psychology of the monarch, his firm resolve to re- dcem his plighted word to his im- perial brother-in-law, even at the cost of the nations plighted word to Servia. I am disposed to regard Greece's spontaneous cooperation with the allies as no longer to be hoped for.
 Constrained, she may yet be, if the allied nations in the desperate strug- gle for their lives are ready to em- ploy any means more potent than argument.

 The Daily Telegraph announces on what it terms authoritative intorma- tion, that British troops have entered Servia.
 Dispatches from Nish to the Ser- vian minister at Athens state that I great battle is raging between Ssrvi- ans and Bulgarians at Veles, and that Turkish cavalry is taking part in tho engagement.
 The Berlin official report today. however, states that Bulgarian troops have occupied Kumanova and Veles, and have driven the enemy across the Vardar, south of Strumit-s za." M f,
 Berlin categorical!y denied today that S.rumitza had been occupied by the Anglo-F1 ench forces, as reported several days ago. The dispatch states that in the encounters which took place the AnglO-French troops were defeated.

 The Servian minister at Athens al- so received advices from Nish stat ing that the Servians had repnlscd the Bulgarians and re-entered Vran- ia and denying the occupation of Kumanova, Tirot and Veles by the Brlgarians. kge ssS
 The same dispatch stated that the Austro- German operations had been arrested at certain points: that the Servians had taken the offensive and repulsed the invaders, and that the Austro-German entrenchments ex- tended only a few miles on line south of Belgrade.
 Furthermore, it was claimed that the Austro-Cerman casualties on the Northern Servian front up to the present time totalled 6O,000. including dead, wounded and prisoners.
