n DRAFT MEN
 IN BRITISH ARMY Chancellor Haldane Save More we" Are Needed and Recruiting is
 Slow-Warns People.

LONDON, May 14.-Chancellor Haldane today issued warning to the people to be prepared for con- scription, as the government was de termined to put in the field its full military strength in order to bring about an end to the present war. The number of enlistments are not as great as the military authorities de- sire and many men are refusing to enlist voluntarily, and thus the gov ernment may resort to the draft in order to keep Kitchener's army up to the requirements of the nation.
 The drilling of the recruits contin- ues in all parts of the empire. The new army requires considerable time to be whipped into shape for service on the continent.
 The work of supplying munitions and equipment to the armies in the field is progressing satisfactorily to the British government.

KING oF GREECE
 |S VERY ILL
Feared He May Die-Has Opposed War and Kept Greece Neutral
 During Present Conflict.

ATHENS, May liking 4Constan- tine is seriously ill and it IS feared that he cannot recover. Doctors at- tending the king say his condition is serious, but that they still hope to save the life of the ruler of Greece.
 Rumors of the serious illness of the king have been current here for several weeks but have always been denied. The news today has caused a sensation and it is realized that the king alone stands between a war between Greece and Turkey, as the members of one cabinet have resigned because of the policy of the king. The present cabinet is also expected to quit rather than continue the pol icy of neutrality which is supported by the king and opposed by the peo- pie. ...- .,.-..-
 The death of King Constantine would almost certainly mean that Greece would join the Allies and at- tack the Turks.

WASHINGTON, May 14-The de mands made by President Wilson on the imperial German government were published this morning by the papers, as the note sent to the foreign of- flee of the German government was released last night The presidents note was polite but firm.
 { President Wilson insists that the German nation must guarantee that submarine attacks upon neutral mer- chant ships must cease at once; that the lives of Americans travelling on foreign merchant ships must be re- spected that an indemnity for the loss of Americans on the Lusitania be paid; that the indemnity for the sinking of the Gulflight be paid at once, and through diplomatic chan nels, and not after a long trial in German prize courts. Other demands are made by the president, who has endeavored to point out to Germany LudJ uSuI1dlo Adfo 11SAIo "hASA OA V to be respected.
 Will Take Means To Protect NeutraIs.
 The note also informs Germany that this government feels it neces- sary to advise the government at Ber-i lin that the United States is prepar- ed to take such means as it seems necessary to bring about the desired result and to protect the lives of its citizens in the war zone.
 Demand GuGarantees. The note also calls upon the kali ser's government to give to America a guarantee that the submarine war on merchant ships will be stopped at once and that no ships will be sunk until non-combatants are allowed to leave the vessels in safety, which was the rule of warfare until the submarine blockade of the Germans was started.
 Difficulties Now Brought To Issue.
 The note has now brought matters to an issue between the two gov ernments. It is freely predicted that within a week the American ambas- sador will be recalled from Berlin and Count Bernstorff dismissed from Washington unless Germany will stop it's war on neutrals.
