ny Cabs 20 Tho Tribune.

London, Nov. 19.-Reports OF serious
disaffection in the Greek army and
the spread of an open propaganda OF
revolt were received from Athens To-
night by way Of Berlin. A corps OF
gendarmes stationed In New Greece
and composed principally of Cretans
is said TO have been openly sgitatng
in favor OF ex-Premier Venizelos, and
the unrest has spread to other trops.
To meet the situation the Skouloudis
Cabinet is reported 70 be considering
the proclaiming Of martial law, OH
cially known as state OF siege"
which can legally be done In times OF
great emergency.
King Constantine is said to have been
very much alarmed at this disafection
among the troops, on whom he counted
through personal ascendancy as among
mis- most loyal supporters.
The long period Of enforced inactlv-
ity, however, due 20 mobilization, and
the dissatisfaction with the food,
brought about by the stoppage OF over
seas supplies, are supposed to have
caused much Of the unrest.
Revolt Rumored on Foot.
King Corstantine's uneasiness has
been further increased by insinuations
that unless he sided with the Allies
tie dynasty would be overthrow.
That such a plot, aided and abetted
by many prominent Liberals, is on foot
has been known for some time, but in
the face of popular majority the King
has been powerless to act.
Denys Cochin, the French Cabinet
Minister without portfolio, was in con-
ference with the King for an hour yes
terday morning, according to Havas
dispatch from Athens, but whether he
carried fresh terms or an ultimatum
from the Entente powers was not
known last night.
Both on his way to the palace and on
his return NJ. Cochin was again the OBJ
ject of enthusiastic demonstrations by
the Athens public. Numerous delega-
tions of various societies called upon
him at his hotel to express their graft
tude to the eminent advocate of the
rights of Hellenism.
To Meet Kitchener at 6alonica.
Following additional conferences to-
day, NJ. Cochin left for Salonica on a
torpedo boat placed at his disposal by
the Greek government. IL is believed
here that a conference has been ar
ranged between the minister and Lord
Kitchener, who arrived at the port to-
day after his visit to the Dardanelles:
At this conference, In which 1t Is
believed General Sarrail and General
Monro will participate, the whole mil
itary and diplomatic situation in the
Balkans will be gone over. NJ. Cochin's
report will be the basis for action with
regard to Greece, and in case II is
necessary II is believed here that Lord
Kitchener himself will go to Athens TO
insist on an acceptance of the terms
of the Entente Powers.
The Greek Legation here issued a
denial to-day Of recent press dis
patches from Athens which stated that
a commission of German military Off
GERS had arrived in Greece and was
inspecting the camp at Salonica Of the
British and French troops, with the
assistance of the Greek authorities.

U. S. PROTEST
TO GO TO ALL
Wilson Note on Contra
band Lists Will Not Be
to Britain Alone.

Washington, Nov 19.--America's pro-
test against the placing Of nearly all
articles of commerce on the contraband
lists Of European belligerents will 60
TO Germany and Austria as well as TO
Great Britain and her allies,
In the last note to Great Britain re
gardiDg interferences with neutral
trade Secretary Lansing gave notice OF
an intention to make contraband the
subject Of later communication, and
preparation Of this document is in
progress. When it is forwarded TO
London virtually identical notes will
be dispatched to the Teutonic allies
and TO France and Italy.
Warning to All.
SO far as Germany and Austria are
concerned, officials regard the forth
coming protest as more or less aca-
demic. as their commerce raiders and
cruisers no longer are on the high seas
and their seizures of contrapand are
limited to the work Of submarines. In
retaliation for the issuance of the
British blockade orders in council,
however, Germany has promulgated a
list of contraband that includes prac-
tically all American products. Con-
sequently the State Department has
decided that formal protest is neces-
sary 10 record the assertion of it's
rights by the United States.
The note is approaching completion.
but its delivery will be delayed until
it has been gone over carefully by Sec
rotary Lansing and President Wilson.
and probably by the neutrality board.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-20

Generally it will be framed to recall
20 the belligerent powers the practices
of nations in the treatment of contra
band prior to the present war, and even
before the London conferen.e which
resulted In the Declaration Of London.
The right of belligerent to extend
the list of absolute contraband beyond
the limits recognized by international
law before the outbreak Of war will be
challenged. and particular objection
will be made to wholesale additions to
the contraband list animated by the
spirit of retaliation, as in the case or
nearly all Of the present belligerents.
Will Reassert Rights.
That d ,ara.ions of contraband
should be limited to articles not merely
available for military use, but designed
chiefly Tor that purpose, will be one
Of the principal contentious. This will
involve a reassertion of the right Of a
neutral state, such as the United
States, to ship such things as food sup
plies, cotton md copper to the civilian
population If be- igerent country un-
der reasonable assurance that he
goods will not be Communicated for
military uses.
Partio lar objection will be made, it
is understood, to the -izure Of Ameri-
can goods, even thot gh contraband. if
they are destined for consumption in a
neutral country and are not bound for
belligerent port

ON NEUTRAL FLAG USE
Berlin Quotes Alleged lrstruc'

Berlin (via London, Nov. 19.-What
purport 70 be the frequently mentioned
but never published British Admiralty
instructions 10 the masters OF mer-
chant ships regarding the use OF neu-
trial hage TO escape the submarine men

in the "Lokalanzeiger." The German
Admiralty referred 10 these instruc-
lions IN the diplomatic correspondence
regarding the sinking Of the Lusitania.
The first OF the regulations is given
as follows:
British shipping is instructed TO
maintain . sharp watch for submarines
and show either the flag OF a neutral
country or none az all so long as the
ship 10 In the vicinity of the British
Isles. The British flag must be shown
on meeting British or Allied warships.
Flags which should be used accord
ing to the above are the following:
American, Italian, Scandinavian and
Holland"
The second document is decree Of
the Commander in Chief Davenport"
dated March 10, which reads:
Confidential, neutral flags: Ships
upon long voyages and upon regular
voyages about the United Kingdom
shall be equipped with neutral flags
II they carry valuable cargo.
Crossing the Channel no flag shall
be shown"
The instructions regarding escape
were said 20 be as follows:

face ahead and in the vicinity with
openly hostile intentions, steer direct
