ing three men treed until help came

the Macklin farm in upper Northwest

ATHENS, Nov 1S.-King Constan-

Greece joins hands with the Germanic
powers.
Cochin, the French cabinet member

nesday with Premier Skouloudis and
ex-Premier Venizelos. His audience
OF the King was arranged for today.
After finishing his talk with his mai
esty. it was said he probably will go to
SalonilIa, to look the war situation
over from shorter range.
After the Island OF Cyprus was Of
fered to the Greeks If they would help
Serbia against Bulgaria and refused,
il was stated in Paris and London that
such a reward would not be rendered
again II is believed here however
that Greek aid would he so valuable to
the Allies as TO insure repetition OF
the proposal If Constantine shows any
inclination TO accept il.
The least the Allies insist on. is stric
non interference by Greece with thci
Balkan operations, assurances that thor
will be no demand for withdrawal o
their troops from Greek territory nea
the Serb. Bulgar and Turkish frontiers
and guarantees that no attempt viii b
made TO intern any British, French O

bY Inc United Press.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. ls.-The Serbs'
situation is desperate today. Both their
northern and southern armies are in
danger of capture bodily. The best they
cn hope for is the chance to abandon
Serbia to her invaders. There is still
the possibility that the northern army
may slip through Austro-German fingers
into Montenegro The southern army
stands a better chance OF getting into
Albania. The northern forces viii be
welcomed by the Montenegrins, how
ever, if they succeed in joining them.
The southern troops probably will meet
a hostile reception by the Albanians.
Berlin reports the Bulgars under Gcn-
eral BoyadicH still pressing the north-
ern Serbs to the westward from the di-
rection of Nish while simultaneously
cutting cutting them of from retreat to
the southwark by an advance he is
pushing up the Toplica valley, parallel
with their line of march The Germans
occupy all the country to the northward
and are constantly pushing their front
closer TO the Bulgars' Ioplica valley
line.
The southern Serb forces are penncd
up in the extreme southwest Of their
country. The Bulgars hold the district
TO the north and have driven wedge
/ between themselves and the Allies oper-
ating east Of prilep and Monastr.
Reports that the Italians are send
ing a force to the eastward across AL

does not seem to be disturbed about 1t.

Selling by Cash Houses Starts the
Market Downward-Moder
Rally Follows.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Prospects of in
creased receipts here had a bearish
effect today on the price of wheat
Selling by cash houses started the
market downward, and special atten-
ton was given to the favorable mar
vest weather in Illinois, whereas Kan
sas rains were largely ignored. Re-
ports of black rust in South Dakota
caused only a moderate rally in prices
The opening, which ranged from
cent off to "a advance. was followed by
a decided general setback before re-
covery began.
Corn Prices Ease OF.
Corn eased off on account of improved
weather, and the same in wheat values
Buyers were scarce After opening 1sa

underwent limited decline all around
In the oats trade the governing IN
f1uence was the bearish action of other
grain. Buying was restricted NANNY
to resting orders, not operative except
at losses to sellers.
Provisions scored sharp gains. bellel
seemed general that at least for the
present liquidatinG sales had come u
an end.
Later the wheat market showed de-
cided strength. the result of conhrma ,
