LONDON. Nov. 23-"The only thing
we want is peace, and you are trying
to force us to make war;" said ID. G.
Rhallis, the Greek minister of justice
and guiding spirit in the cabinet of
M. Skouloudis. in an interview last
Thursday with the Daily Mails CORE
spondent at Athens.
The British government and the
British press" continued M. Rhallis,
ARE taking a disgraceful and infa-
nous attitude toward us. You are
starving us; only today two more yes
sells have been stopped by you.
your government having piled fault
on fault and delay on delay With only
a few thousand troops to help us,
wants to force us to step in and die.
You want us to succor you when no
English soldiers have shed their blood
in Serbia-when scarcely an English
rifle has been fired.
I'VE do not wish to be another Bel
GUM or another Serbia, We love Ser
bia, but before attempting to rescue
drowning friend one should be sure
his efforts are not merely useless sac
rifice."
Regarding the attitude of Greece in
case the allies should be forced over
the frontier, NJ Rhalis said:
Certainly no attempt would be
made to disarm them, They can dig
trenches and defend themselves il
they must We will even go to the
extent or establishing Gordon to
safeguard their retreat"
The Daily Mails correspondent says
| he believes the attitude of NJ. Rhallis
reflects that OF a majority Of the
Greek people who are unanimous in
their desire for peace.
| The correspondent discusses at
| length the attitude OF the Greek king,
/ who he declares, Is not pro-German,
although decidedly under the influ-
cnce of the queen.
THE king does not love Germany"
! the correspondent said. He offered to
Join the allies last July in case the
Dardanelles project be abandoned and
an advance me made through Thrace.
Since that date the king has gained
, implicit belief in German profess. He
said few days ago. They cannot
beat Germany; they will never con
quer her They tell me that am be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, and
, that | may as well throw my lot with
the allies. whose pressure can be i'm

whatever happens, will never be Sc
we're with my country, while Germany
will be implacable. 1t is my duty to

CARGO Of COTTON
LOST IN FLAMES
DESTROYED EY FIRE AFTER BE-
ING DISCHARGED ON LlV-
ERPooL DOCKS.

PENSACOLA, Fla. Nov. pa
Three thousand bales OF cotton were
destroyed In Liverpool during the past
week, according to advices through
maritime journals, and this lot was
said to have been that shipped on the
Spanish steamship Adelina, when left
here on October 3. ~
The Adelina, according to advices
which were meager as they were, had
discharged the lot, and 1t na'1 been
stored with another shipment of 900
square bales which had been later dis
charged from one of the Larrinaga
liners from Galveston AS the cotton
had been received in Liverpool, and as
it had been receipted for by those re-
ceiving IL, there was no reason to be-
lieve that the ship was either dam
aged or that there would be any claim
upon the ship.
The three thousand bales destroyed
did not represent the entire cargo Of
the Adelina, as a portion which evil
IDENTIFY escaped the flames which did
considerable damage in the cotton
warehouse, had been consigned to
French buyers and had evidently been
transhipped by another route into
France.

.OUA|L Do NOT
DESTROY WEEv|L
STATE GAME COMMISSIONER
TALKS OF THIS BIRD IN
GEORGIA..

State Game Commissioner Arrow,
discussing quail and the boil weevil,
says:
81 am daily receiving inquiries, both
verbal and written, as to whether or
not the quail or bob white partridge,
may properly be considered as one of
the chief means of retarding the ad-
vance of the boil weevil in Georgia.
81 feel sure that it will not be out
of place for me to give some publicity
as to my views on this subject, such
views being based upon the investiga-
tions made by the federal government,
and the entomologist of this state. as
well.
while it is true that the quail de-
stroys a goodly number of insects of
various varieties it is not true that
they destroy the boil weevil. 1t is well
known that this bird is ground
feeder-while the boil weevil is not
found on the ground. The birds that
are most destructive to the boil Wee
vii are the non-game species, chief
among which may be mentioned the
family of swallows and martins.
while it is not my purpose to dis
courage the protection of this great
game bird, the quail, l do not believe
the people of Georgia should labor un-
der misrepresentation, and for this
reason | make the statement above.
at is we'll known to all persons who
h,1ntoI CT, 11-
Of their chara seristics and peculiari-
ties, that the moderate killing of this
bird not only does not retard, nor in
terfere with the propagation and in
crease. but for some reason, not clear
ly ul-4crstood, but certainly well
known, the opposite seems to be the
case.
From my personal observation,
would state that where the quail are
never killed that they do not become
more abundant Several reasons for
this have been advanced by ornitholo-
gists. Whatever the cause, our chief
consideration is that this has been
demonstrated as a fact.
81 am of the opinion that the laws
of the state protecting this bird are
absolutely adequate if enforced. I be.
lieve, further, that the quail, as we'll
as other game birds, were put here
from the beginning for our use, such
use to be sane and moderate.
''The sportsmen of Georgia will con-
tinue to be the best friends of the
game laws of this state They are
concerned in the protection and con-
servation of game They hope to live
and enjoy the legitimate pursuit of
game for many years. 1t, therefore,
is of paramount Importance to such
sportsmen to give their best effort
and influence to bringing about the
real enforcement of the laws, the
purpose of which is to protect and
conserve the game of this state"

SOME ACTION
On WHITE WAY
|S3EXPECIED
QUESTION TO BE TAKEN UP
AT COMMITTEE MEETING
OF COUNCIL AND OTHERS
AT CITY HALL TONIGHT.

At a meeting of city council as a
committee of the whole, to be held
in thg..sPayor's office at the city hall
toni at 1880 o'clock, it is expected
omethng will be done in re-
CARDS to the Brunswick white way,
which has been out of business for
the past four or five days, and which,
1T is generally believed, will be taken
over by the city.
Besides council, representatives Of
the White Way Association and of
the Mutual Light and Water company
will be present and the matter will
be thoroughly threshed out The
White Way Association will probably
hold a meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of arriving at some definite
proposition to be submitted to council
tonight.
The conGsrsus of opinion among the
business men seems to be that the
city should take over the proposition
and continue ii in future, and while no
intimaton has as yet come from
council, it is believed that the mem
bers are willing to do anything rea-
sonable in order to maintain the
bright lights
1t has been suggested that the
White Way Association. if it is pos
sible 10 do SO, pay the Indebtedness
up to the present, turning over the
lights to council free of debt This
and other propositions will be dis
cussed at the meeting tonight and it
is generally believed that some agree
ment will be arrived at.
| There is one thing certain, and that
| is that the people of the city general
" are strongly protesting against the
discontinuance of the lights. In a way
| II has been a move backward for the
| city. and It leaves Brunswick as the
only city Of any importance in the
entire state without a white way. For
this reason, and for the further fact
that it is a. great thing for the city,
everybody wants to see the lights
turned on again.

CHINA WILL nut
JOIN THE ALLIES
PRESIDENT YUAN SHI kAl DOES
NOT WANT TO ABANDON
NEUTRALITY.

PEKING, Nov 23 The informal
suggestion OF the entente powers that
China join the Alies, thus solidifying
the Far East, has not been well re
ceived by President Yuan Shi Kai who
is not willing to abandon neutrality
and sacrifice German good will. Japan
apparently has not participated in the
suggestions which is believed to be of
British origin
Eki Hioki, Japanese minister to
China, has returned to Peking and
visited the foreign office yesterday.
He said he brought back no demand
upon China and would not present for
further consideration at this time
group five Of the original demands
which we're deferred for future con
sideration at the time the others were
accepted by the Chinese government
This group relates to the employment
Of japanese advisors in political
financial and military affairs, the en-
ployment of Japanese TO reorganize
the police force, the purchase from
Japan of munitions of war and the
propagation of Buddhism in China by
Japanese subjects.

A BIG VICTORY
BY SERV|A Ms
ARPREST|ANA
MONASTlR MAY NOW HOLD
OUT LONG ENOUGH TO EN-
ABLE ALLIES TO JOIN THE
SERVlANS.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Latest news
from the Balkans has revived hope
in England that Mouastir may hold
out long enough to enable French
and British forces to effect a juno
ton with the Servians. The Rome
and London legations of Servia have
received reports of a great Servian
victory northeast of Pristina. but as
these advices give neither details nor
dates there are doubts as to their
Importance.
1t is now believed allied forces
which may take refuge on Greek ter
ritory are hardly likely to be sub
jected to attack from the rear. The
most significant indication as to the
present attitude of Greece is contain
ed in remarks made by NJ Rhallis,
Greek minister of justice, who is
quoted in press dispatch as having
complained bitterly of methods adopt
ed by the allies He argued that
their hardness in bringing effective
support for the Servians made Greek
participation impossible NJ Rhallis
declared, however, that the Greeks
were determined to maintain neutral
ity, and that the 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 Bulgarians retired to their posi-
tons after a vain attack on the
French lines.
The seat of the Servian govern.
ment has been shifted to Pristend
while the diplomatic corps has moved
to Petch, Montenegro.
A message from Constantinople by
way of Germany reports the resump
ton of violent offensive by the
allies in the Dardanelles. No official
confirmation has been received.
Except for the Russian announce
ment of repulse of the Germans
in front of Riga, nothing of import
ance has reached the public from the
line.
British artillery is busy on the
western front where the only other
activity of late has been mining and
aerial operations.
Roumania again figures in news
of the diplomatic situation 1t is re
ported the central powers are about
to make a 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.

The responsibility for the wreck is
laid on the crew of the passenger
train. The passenger train had or
ders to stop at Muscogee, four miles
from Columbus, and wait for the show
train. 1t waited but the crew made
an error well known in railroad cir

Twelve of the % cars on the carni-
val train were burned, including two
carloads of animals The Pullmans
belonging to the carnival people were
not damaged and there was but little
damage to the steel cars of the pas

The most tragic deaths were that of
Fred S. Kempf and his wife. They
were owners of the Model City, one
of the principal carnival attractions,
and were sleeping in their auto truck
loaded on a flat car near the engine.
Both were caught in the wreckage
and burned to death before the eyes

Kennedy stated that when the
crash came he and every member of
the company in the Pullmans piled
out, and then as the fire started he
got four big draft horses that had
been shot from the cars when the
