PERDUE WILL RETIRE.
Hub to Quit Baseball Rather Than Go
 Down to Minors

>A Gallatin, Tenn, Dec Hub Per- due, the famous "Gallatin Squash, ," means what he says when he asserts he will quit baseball rather than join minor league club. Perdue, who has owned a farm for some time, has just purchased a half interest in cafe here. The cafe is one of the show places of the town. and between 1t and the farm Perdue figures he will be independent of baseball
 Perdue was a member of the St. Louis Cardinal team last season and part of the previous one. He es- capped being a member of the Worlds Champion Boston Braves by kicking over the traces and forcing George Stallings to trade him. His showing last season would not justify the Car dinals holding onto him the coming year and they have been preparing to send him to a minor league team on the coast.
 Perdue has maintained that he would not go to the coast, and his recent purchase would indicate he was preparing to. escape minor league ser vice.
 Hub stated that before he would play minor league bill he would re- sign and never don baseball suit.

 It's truly astonishing how quickly it loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough and heals and soothes the infamed mem >branes in the case of a painful cough. It also stops the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end- ing the persistent loose cough.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com- pound of genuine Norway pine extract, combined with guaiacol, and has been used for generations to heal infamed membranes of the throat and chest.

Noted Dancer Starts For California Aviation School and Will Later
 Join Allied Forces.

New York, Dec. 7.-Vernon Castle came to town yesterday on his way to California and from there to the fir ing line in Europe. Mrs. Castle also arrived in New York, planning to re- turn immediately to Boston, where society's favorite dancing pair had been playing together in a musical comedy. Neither would affirm or deny that anything besides the war in Eu- rope is causing their separation.
 A few days ago the sale of the Castles house at Manhasset, l.. l., his disposal of his kennels the announce ment that he would quit the stage on December 4, and disagreements be- tween the pair in public led to the re- ports that the dancers had agreed to disagree in the courts. Both admit ted there had been tilts and each as- serted ignorance of the others plans.
 Mr. Castle starts for an aviation school in California today. In six weeks he expects to nave an aviat- or's license. Then he joins the Brit ish fliers somewhere in France"

ALLIED WAR COUNCIL.
Holds First Meeting in Paris---J
 PreSides.

London, Dec. 7.-The peace
 which emanates from the Vatl
 Switzerland, and Scandinavia,
 has been aroused by the prop| questions by the socialists in
 Reichstag, and the pope's address the secret consistory, evokes no here. The British people are al prepared to believe that with
 knowledge of the heavy losses suffd at the different fronts, may be d ious to see and end to it; but q do not expect the rulers of the q tral powers to make any suggesti that any British government vol or could, consent to. ..
 They therefore are more interes in news of the joint war council all the allies which has been forn and which held its first meeting Paris yesterday under the presidel of the French eommander-in-ch Gen. Joffre, and hope from this q the war is to be prosecuted more ergetically and that efforts are to made to clear up the diplomatic al cuIties which face the quadruple tente in the Balkans.
 Where and when the allies will tempt the stroke, which they exp to start and turn the tide, only 1 conferees know, and they are likely to take the republic into tn t.

territory, they will consider the Bal kan game ended, re-embark and leave Greece, I will guarantee with my whole army to protect their retreat against the Germans, Bulgarians or anybody else and give them time to embark without being endangered .. Then I would be 1egitimately protect ing my frontier and it would not in Volve Greece in further risks. More I cannot do
 The entente's demand is too much. They try to drive Greece out of neu- trality; they come into Greek terri tory and waters as though they were theirs. At Nautlia they destroyed tanks of petroleum. intended to kill locusts. on the excuse that they might be used by German submarines. They stop Greek ships; they ruin Greek commerce-as they have done with American ships, too; they want to seize our railways. and now they de- mand that we take away the troops guarding the Greek frontiers, Ieav- ing my country open to invasion of any lawless incursion.
 Will Maintain Sovereignty.
 T will not do it. I am willing to
 
 But two things I will not concede: Greece shall not be forced or cajoled out of her neutrality; Greece will maintain her sovereignty and her sovereign right to protect herself at need"
 And if that is not satisfactory-if coercive measures are used by the en- tente powers?" the king was asked.
 We shall protest to the whole world that our sovereign rights are violated. We shall resist passively as long as We humanly can, being forced by any measures whatsoever into course which we know will be preju- dicial to the liberties and happiness of our people"
 And when you cannot hold out longer?"
 "INe shall have to dem obilize our | armies and await the march of events. l What else can we do?"

and turning Greece into a second Pc land. l have that assurance, also.
 People Do Not Want War.

That the Greek frontiers will be re-erected after the war does not re- build towns or compensate my peo- pie for months, perhaps years, spent in living in misery as fugitiVeS from their own land when their country is not at war and has nothing to gai.l by risking devastation.
 Why, the entente powers treat me as if I were king of a central Af- rican tribe, to whom the sufferings of indifference I have been through three wars. I know what war is. I do not want any more if it can be honorably avoided. My people do not want any more, and if they and I can help it, we shall not have any more."
 Then your majesty does not, be- lieve that the intervention policy of the former premier, M. Venizelos, really expressed the will of the Greek people,
 Not for Venizelos Policy.
 T know it did not" replied the king forcefully. When the people reelected Venizelos they elected him. Not his policy. The great mass of the people of Greece did not, and will not, understand anything about the Venizelos foreign policy. They like him and they elected him, but it would be the maddest folly to as- sume that because they voted for a man personally popular they, there fore, voted to throw the country into the whirlpool of the European war. They did no such thing. War is the last thing they want. Ask them: they will tell you so.
 Tt is said that have exceeded the constitution. What I have done is to apply the constitution. The con- stitution gives me the power to dissolve the chamber to pre- vent just such disasters as following the Venizelos policy would have proved at this juncture. My duty under the constitution was to exer- else that power. I did exercise it and Will continue to exercise it so long as 1t is necessary to save my people from destruction.
 Another thing I want to make clear: It is said that M. Venizelos with my consent, invited the allied troops to come to Saloniki. Nothing could be further from the truth. M Ven1zelos may have expressed the per- sonal opinion that if the allied troops landed at Saloniki Greece would not resist-how could she resist, But that M. Venizelos ever, as the respon- sible head of the Greek government, formally invited foreign troops to en- ter Greek territory is wholly untrue.
 Doomed to Failure.
 Your majesty believes that the al- lied Balkan expedition is doomed to failure ?'
 Certainly it is doomed to failure if undertaken with no more men than are now there or on the way.
 "Great Britain does not seem dis posed to send an adequate force, and France cannot do the job alone. The minimum army that can hope to ac- complish anything in the Balkans is four hundred thousand men. AS that number is not being sent. that is my proof that it is Greece that must suf- fer, Greece that must pay for the failure of the allied Balkan venture.
 Willing to Protect Retreat.

President Maier of the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league has taken a Sensible move in the cases of Bert Whaling and Herb Moran who were turned over to the club by the Boston Braves in exchange for Outfielder Will holt. Whaling said he would not play with Vernon unless he were made manager of the club, and Moran also expressed dissatisfaction with his as- signment to the coast.
 SPresident Maier has informed both that they could have his permission to make deals that would shift them to whatever clubs they pleased to go. 1t is believed that Whaling will tie up with the Federals, while Moran's hope is to land with some organized club in the eastern part of the country.
