counter Opposition.
A Company Headed by Stubbs
Takes Out q Charter.

Unless the Helm interests build an
interurban line on the south side of
the Kaw river between Lawrence and
Topeka, new corporation threatens
to enter the field. This situation is
admitted by officers of the Lawrence.

w r. Stubbs. former governor; ]. D.
Bowersock. former congressman, and
other prominent residents of Lawrence.
The new Helm line from Kansas
City is nearly completed to Lawrence
and will be built to Topeka next year
The Helm plans call for a north of
the river line. The Lawrence citizens
want the road on the south side and
threaten to build 4 competing line if
another course is taken by the Kansas
City brewer. They also want the Helm
company to use and help pay for the
new Lawrence bridge.

NO GREEK SHIPS HELD;
NO BLOCKADE IN FORCE

London, Nov. 23.-The foreign
office states no Greek ships are
being seized or held up in the
ports of the United Kingdom and
that no blockade of Greek ports
has been instituted or is in force.
No amplification of the foreign
office statement is ObtainabIe in Of
ficial quarters. The universal de-
ductiOn is that the Greek govern
ment has satisfied the British de-
mandS submitted by Earl Kitche-
ner, secretary of war, who was in
Athens last week. 1t is assumed
Greece has furnished guarantees OF
the safety of the Anglo-Erench ex-
peditiOnary force.
1t is believed the announcements
from Athens concerning COM
mercial blockade of Greece were
premature in that they presented
the provisional intentions of the
entente allies as accomplished
facts.

MESSAGE TO CABINET
Wilson Submits His Document to
Congress to Official Family.

Washington, Nov. 23--President
Wilson laid before the cabinet a COM
pleted draft of the address he will
read 20 congress December T.
The president has decided to touch
on the question of raising revenues for
national defense, but probably in only
broad terms. Some of the cabinet
wanted him to devote the entire ad-
dress to the national defense question,
but as read at todays cabinet meet
ing, it deals with other legislation.
The president favors cutting appro-
priations as much as possible for pub
lie buildings and rivers and harbors

Austin, Tex, Nov. 23.-Four of the
six aeroplanes of the United States
aero squadron, in flight today from
Waco to Austin, were reported missing
this afternoon by Lieut.. T. d. Milling,
one of the aviators after he had land
ed at the stopping place here.
Lieutenant Milling appealed to all
available sources to help locate the
machines which had failed to arrive
more than two hours after the flight
of about 100 miles began.
Telephone calls to Austin this after
noon Indicated that one of the avia-
tors passed Burnet and landed at
Kingsland, half way between Burnet
and Marble Falls, sixty miles west of
Austin. Two of the aviators are
known to have landed at Lampasas.

of Austin and considerably off the

are those of Lieutenant Milling and
Lieut.. T. S. Bowen.
Temple, Tex, reported all six be-
fore IL a. m. near the city. which is
about midway between Waco and
Austin. However, one of the machines
at Temple was nearly six miles off the
course; the other five were reported
following.
The aviators who have not arrived
here are Capt. p. ID. Foulois, in
charge of the squadron, and Lieut.. J.
(dEDGEIys ~ NIid pliloil anu l. ~
RAIDER.
The squadron commander was ac-
customed to bringing up the rear
flights in order to watch for accidents
With two machines here only one avi-
ator is unaccounted for. Lieutenant
Milling says that a strong east wind
encountered after rising at Waco blew
them off the course to the west and
created a haze which made it impos-
sibIe to follow land marks.
All Got Away.
Waco. Tex, Nov. 23.-With Lieut.
]. r. Carberry acting as pilot, the
First Aeroplane squadron, u. S. A, left
this morning for Austin, the last stop
before the aviators' destination, Fort
Sam Houston, San Antonio, is reached.
The six biplanes took an altitude of
about 1000 feet in the flight out of
Waco. They circled over the aviation
field several times, then made a
straight flight south. 1t was estimated
by Captain Foulios that a speed of
between so and 80 miles an hour
would be made between Waco and
Austin.

London, Nov. 23.-The latest news
from the Balkans has revived hope in
England that Monastir may hold out
long enough to enable the French and
British forces to effect a junction with
the Serbians. The Rome and London
legations of Serbia have received re-
ports of d great Serbian victory north
east of Pristina, but as these advices
give neither details nor dates, there
are doubts as to their Importance.
It is now believed allied forces,
which may take refuge on Greek ter
ritory are hardly likely to be subject
ed to attack from the rear. The most
significant indication as to the pres
ent attitude of Greece is contained in
remarks made by NJ. Rhallis,. Greek
minister of justice, who is quoted in
a press dispatch as having complained
bitterly Of methods adopted by the en-
tente allies. He argued that their
tardiness in bringing effective sup
port for the Serbians made Greek par
ticipation impossible.
To Maintain Neutrality.
NJ Rhallis declared, however, that
the Greeks were determined to main
tain neutrality and that the entente
allies had no reason to fear danger if
they should be forced across the
Greek border.
The French military position in
Macedonia is reported to have i'm
proved. The assertion is made that
the BuIgarians retired to their posi-
t1OnS after q vain attack on the
French lines.
The seat of the Serbian government
has again been shifted, on this occa-
sion to Prisrend, while the diplomatic
corps has moved to Patch, Montene-
gro.
On DardanclIes Front.
A message from Constantinople, by
way of Germany, reports the reSump-
tion of violent offensive by the allies
of the Dardanelles. No confirmation
of this report has been received. EX-
cept for the Russian announcement of
a repulse of the Germans in front of
Riga. nothing of Importance has
reached the public from the eastern
line. British artillery is busy on the
western front where the only other ac-
tivity of late has been mining and
aerial operations.
Rumania again figures in news of
the diplomatic situation, 1t is re-
ported the central powers are about
to make Il formal request to the
Bucharest government to maintain its
neutrality, but are offering certain
concessions if that nation will inter
vene IN the war on their side.
