COUNTRY NOT ASKED
TO INTERVENE IN WAR
King Constantine Reported to Have
Been Favorably Impressed =.
by Denys Cochin.
RUMANIA MAY ACT SOON
Former Cabinet Member Says Ma
tional Policy Will Be Followed.
Relations With Russia "Never
Better" Says Premier.

ATHENS, November Is, via
London, 1925 p.m-Greece has
met the demands of the entente
powers and given guarantees that
their requirements will be full
filled.
Official announcement is made
that the reply to the collective
note presented by the entente min
listers has been delivered to them.
The announcement says:
The reply is couched in very
friendly terms, and gives salts
faction of the demands of the en-
tente powers and all guarantees
considered essential
The collective note was pre-
sented to the Greek government
on Tuesday. AS outlined in TN
official dispatches it contained no
request for Greek intervention in
the war with the allies, but asked
Greece to give assurance that she
would preserve her friendly atti-
tude in case the allied troops now
in Macedonia should be compelled
to retreat across the frontier to
Greek territory.
King Is Impressed.
Prior to the presentation of this note
the questions it dealt with were dis
cussed at the luncheon given by King
Constantine in honor of Denys Cochin.
member of the French cabinet. NJ
Cochin's views were favorably received
by the king. and no doubt appeared to
would supply all the guarantees re-
quested.
Britain Apparently Satisfied.
LONDON. November 25.-Although
the full text of the Greek government
reply to the collective note presented
made public in England. there is every
indication that the British government
is satisfied with the position taken at
Athens. The assurances given by
Greece differ in marked degree from
the previous expressions of benevolent
neutrality They are neither vague nor
eVaslVe, but promise explicitly that no
military measures will be taken
against the Serbian, French or British
troops in case they retreat to Greek
territory.
One Point Not Clear.

MESSAGE KEEPING
PRESIDENT At HOME
Mr.. Wilson Locks Himself in
Study I'd Finish Docu-
ment.
PLANS ARE UNCERTAIN
FOR AUTO TRIP TODAY
Indications Are That Work Will Oc-
cupy His Time Until Din
ner Hour Tonight.

The Presidents hope to get
done work on the message at
noon today, so as to be able to
take an automobile journey, was
not realized. When the hour of
II struck he was still writing
away on his typewriter, and the
end was not then in sight.
Locks Himself in Study.
The President locked himself up in
his study and was not interrupted dur
ing the morning. He allowed no other
consideration to interfere with his pur
pose to complete the draft of the mes
sage at the earliest possible moment.
For that reason his Thanksgiving day
plans were altogether uncertain.
The prospect is that he will have his
Thanksgiving turkey at the usual even
ing dinner hour in the White House. He
may get in short automobile ride in
the course of the afternoon.
Dinner a Family Affair.
Thanksgiving dinner will be largely
family affair. Mrs. Norman Calf,
fiancee of the President, and her moth
er, Mrs. Boiling, may be present. The
Presidents daughters, Mrs. William G.
McAdoo and Miss Margaret Wilson,
and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones prob
ably will make up the party.
The President was unable to attend
the pan-American Thanksgiving mass
at st. Patrick's Church in the MORN
ing. because of his occupation over the
message.
Rejects Many Suggestions.
He has rejected various suggestions
for incorporation in the message
with the purpose to devote it primarily
to the theme of national defense. Other
questions will be taken up in later
message.
In reply to a letter from Representa-
tive Hamill of New Jersey asking that
civil service reform be- touched on in
the address, the President replied that
he was forced to refuse the request be-
cause he wanted the message to deal
with one general subject. 1t is known.
however, that the President considers
that national defense includes the
mobilizing of all of the nations re-
sources For this reason it is under
stood that subjects like conservation
will be mentioned.

sEAcHEY KILLED IN A TAu6E
Machine and AeropIanist Fall Into
 San Francisco Bay.

San Francisco.-Lincoln Beaehey, aged 31, noted as an aviator the world over and perhaps the greatest rival of the Frenehman. Pegoud, in the ex- ecution of hair-raising aerial feats, fell to his death here in the new Ger man Taube monoplane in which he had been attempting to duplicate the spectacular performances of which, :n the biplane, he was the acknowledged master.
 The fatal drop was made from height of 5000 feet at the Panama Pacific Exposition. and was witnessed by a crowd of 50,000 people. The Taube, with Beachey, fell into San Francisco Bay. The machine, with the body of the ill-fated aeroplanist still strapped in the aluminium body of the Taube, was recovered two hours later by a Navy diver.
 Hillary Beachsy, . brother of the aviator. witnessed the tragedy. He was standing on the deck Of the trans mort Crook watching the flight. He said he heard . cracking sound like the breaking of ship's mast He cried out as the monoplans began to plunge toward the bay. It fell only ? fsW feet away from the transport

STRAW MAKES GOOD BEDDING
Animal to Do We'll and Make Profit able Gains for Its Owner Must Be
 Kept Comfortable.

Too much of our good. hard-earned animals goes to waste on account of lack of plenty of good bedding Feed is an essential thing in fattening our animals for market and bedding is an- other essential. Some of us are good feeders when it comes to giving our animals plenty of the different foods We use in the fattening process. but fall down in the bedding end of the business.
 To make an animal do we'll we must make it comfortable. This we can't do without plenty of the right kind of bedding, no matter how generously we pour out the corn. oats. etc. We believe that this is particularly true at this season of the year The worst of the winter is past; we are busy caring for the spring crop of pigs and calves, and the weather seems nice and warm. The cattle in the fatten- ing lot are doing all right, and the fat hogs seem to be doing their best. To- morrow may be a wet, raw day. yet not very cold, We forget that it is a time when these animals need bed ding just as badly as they did in the middle of the winter.
 We believe that many dollars are lost in the feeding by overlooking the matter of bedding even later in the season. Our cattle in the fattening lot are very often compelled to lie down in the mud or stand up. The spring rains in connection with the going out of the frost make our feed yards damp and muddy. A good load or two of straw in the right place in the feed yard will save us many dol lars. even up until the middle of May. We'll does the writer remember, in the spring of 1889. stopping planting corn for half a day to haul bedding for our fattening cattle. We believe that no bedding we gave these cattle in the winter did more good than did this.
 Too many of us, about this time of the year, are burning up some straw piles to get rid of them. This is sure- ly mistake. We must get out of the habit of burning straw. It answers two purposes when used for bedding. It provides the animal comfort and makes manure, which is very useful on any farm. Don't burn the straw. Save it and make your animals com- fortable and yourself money.

TROOPERS KILL AMERICAN.
John B.. McManus of Chicago Shot
 Down in Mexico City.

Washiagton.-The Administrations belief that the Mexican situation will ever be settled by a continuation of the "watehful waiting" policy was shaken when official dispatches con firmed the report that another Ameri- can had been murdered in cold blood,
 Secretary Bryan received a long despach from the Brazilian Minister at Mexico City announcing that John B. McManus, formerly of Chicago, had been shot and killed in his Mexico City home by three of Zapata's troop ers as they were entering the city on the heels of the forces of Gen. Obre- gon, who had just evacuated the cap ital
 The Brazilian Ministers report stated that when the Zapata forces evacuated the city originally . group of the former mountain bandits at- tempted to loot the McManus home. McManus killed three and saved his home.
 The Zapata forces re-entered the city and some of the soldiers imme- diately went to the AcMsnus homo. evidently for the purpose of revsng. ins the death of their former friends.
