London Nov. 2l--The cntent al
lies have demanded that Greece either
JOIN with thcm and fulfill her treaty
Obligations to Servia or ,dcmobiliZc,
and to impress King Constatine that
they mean what they say the allies
have declared a commercial blockade
of the Hellenic empire, according to
Athens dispatches. There is no CON
iirmation of these statements here but
it is certain that Lord Kitchener, the
British war secretary, who had an
hours audience with the king of
Greece yesterday and afterward saw
Premier Skouloudis took firm stand.
The Greek cabinet met to consider
the situation and q few hours should
show Greece's attitude. The Greek
government again has affirmed it's
friendlincss to the allies, but has not
taken the steps required to prevent
Greece from being counted among
the friends Of the central powers.
The entente will not permit any
delay; the position Of the Scrvian ar
mics makes any prolongation Of the
present uncertainty impossible. Al
ready the Servians are making what
may be their last stand before Mon

The Bulgarians, it Is true, are be-
ing held UP by unfavorable weather,
but they must be almost at the gates
of the Macedonian capital and the
AustrO-Gcrmans and BulgarianS are

The Germans announce today the
capture Of Novapaizar and therefore
are on the direct road to Mitrovitza,

or the French and British troops
in The south no news has been re-
ceived. Apparently they only arc
holding their positions and no longer
can hope to be of assistance to the
Scrvians except by keeping Il large
number Of Bulgarians engaged. Ger
man reports say the French and Brit
ish will try to save The Servans by
sending troops through Montenegro
and Albania, but with poor roads it
will take long time for them to
reach tho battlcfclds.

lfvillage unknown before the war, and
which became famous for bitter fight

of the Russians, who evidently let the
Germans enter simply to shell them
out the next day.

JUMPS Down SHAFT OF
Washington MONUMENT
First Suicide In History Of Fa-
nous 0belisk Girls Effort
to Save Her Futile.

Washington, Feb. 23.--Mrs. w. F.
Cockrell. of Del Ray, Va, jumped in
to the elevator shaft of the Washing
ton Monument at landing near the
top late to-day, and fell to the bot
tom, more than 500 feet below. She
left a note addressed to her husband,
saying she was sure she could not
recover from an illness. Her body
was crushed by striking the sides of
the shaft on the way down, and she
was dead before her body reached
the bottom.
The District Coroner issued a GER
tiiicate of death by suicide. Mrs.
Cockrell's farewell note. written on a
physicians prescription blank and
left in the monument, said she realiz-
ed she was a burden" to her hus,
band, and asked that her body be
cremated.
II was the first time the towering
obelisk, which was opened to the pub
lie in 1888. and has been visited by
millions of Americans, had been the
scene of suicide. Ten years ago,
painter working in the shaft accident
ally fell to his death.
An hour before the monument was
closed for the day. Mrs. Cockrell went
to the observation gallery near the
top of the structure in the elevator.
A few minutes later she walked down
to the third landing and clambered
between the steel rails that separate
the elevator shaft from the stair
way Sightseers screamed. and Miss
Edna Rockefellon, of Takoma Park,
rushed to Mrs. Cockrells side and
clutched at her clothing. There was
a brief struggle, then portions of the
dress gave way and Mrs. Cockrell
plunged down the shaft.
AS she fell her body caromed from
side to side, striking aginst the rail-
ings. Horror-stricken tourists and
the watchmen at the base of the
monument notified officials, and Col.
w. w. Harris. superintendent of pub
lie buildings. took charge of the body,
while other officials started to notify
the husband.
A few hours earlier Mrs. Cockrell
had gone with her husband to the
Office of a local specialist on nerve
troubles. She was 32 years old.

Inc Democratic party Is in nc
shape to make its debut for the
season of 1916.
II has promises to redeem by leg.
islation, and 1t has errors to correct
by the same process.
Its legislative action upon sugar,
for instance, deprived the Govern
ment of revenue. seriously injured
the business interests of Louisiana
and other States, and benefited not
consumer in the republic, for
prices are higher now by a large per-
centage than when the Tariff sched-
ule was passed.
1t was an error, an economical
mistake, a political blunder.
1t should be corrected. but while
correcting that, the Democratic party
should go further and revise the en-
tire Tariff law so as to produce thu
revenue required by the Government
to carry out the policies the people
demand.
Let the Democratic party frankly,
boldly, courageously state to the
country that the European war has
so changed commercial and financial
conditions that it becomes necessary
to alter the Tariff schedules in order
to increase the revnues, and that it
proposes to do so, and to abolish
the war tax.
That is the right policy, the prop
er course. the wise thing to do, and
If done, will greatly strengthen the
Democratic party in every State in
the Union.
No party responsible for a Treas
ury deficit and for an oppressive and
offensive war tax has any chance to
win before the voters of the Union
in a national campaign.
The Democratic party has always
regarded the Tariff as a revenue pro-
Queer. Let it make it so now, and
rid itself of the deficit and the war
tax at once and the same time by
changes in the customs duties.
This is one revision of the Tariff
that will be welcomed and approved
by farmers, merchants, manufactur-
ers and the workingmen. and these
constitute the great majority of the
people of the United States.
The fnacial condition of the
Treasury requires this action.
The needs of the nation call for
larger expenditures, and the revenue
to cover these expenditures can best
be obtained i'm this way.
Suppose the political opponents
of the Democratic party and of the
administration do fiout and become
sarcastic.
Let them exhaust themselves in
that line. but when they perceive the
effect of this legislation in the cities,
the States, and throughout the
Union. they will see their own
strength rapidly ebbing, their own
organization divided and disinteg-
rating, and their sneers and sarcasm
will give way to doubt, gloom and
silence.
If this be done, the Democratic
party will enter 1916 with the con-
fidence of the people and their sup
port.
If 1t is not done. 1t will be strangl-
ed by the war tax and the deficit.

FRIIIGHTER SEWARD

The shortage of coal which has ex- isted the past few days will be reliev- ed tomorrow when the freighter Sew ard will arrive from the westward with several hundred tons of coal for the Valdez Dock company. Owing to the supply on hand being nearly ex- hasted orders for coal are being lim- ited to just sufficient to provide for the needs of the company's customers until the arrival of the steamer.
 Valdez residents have not been all lowed to suffer during the cold spell as when it became apparent that the coal supply would become exhausted before the arrival of the freighter the agent of the company arranged with served for the court house, the amount to be replaced after the ar rival of the companys coal.
 The delay in Valdez receiving her shipment of coal is due to the regula- tion of the British Columbia govern ment preventing vessels carrying ex- plosixes entering the harbor. This necessitates the freighters going to Naniamo first and then returning to Seattle for the balance of her cargo, leaving the coal in the bottom of the hold where it cannot be reached un- til all the other cargo has been dis charged.
