Prime Minister of Greece Resigns After Protesting
 Landing Allied Troops.
ROUMANIA AGREES
 TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
BuIgaria Openly EspOuses Cause of Central Empires, Precipitating Crit. icai situation for Allies in
 Balkan States.

London, Oct. 5.-Premier VeniZelos Of Greece has resigned according to a news agency dispatch received here this evening. King Constantine hay ing informed him he was unable to suppor; the policy of his ministry.
 With 70,O00 allied troops already landed on Greek territory, despite the protest of Greece. he situation created by Venizelos' resignation is critical in the extreme.
 It Was upon the support of Premier Venizclos that the allies were hoping tc secure tha active cooperation of Greece
 When the first detachment of France notified Greece that they were going to help Serbia. Vnnizelos re- piled with formal protest against the passage of foreign troops through Greek territory, on the ground that it violated Greek neutrality.
 The allied governments, however. made all preparations and gave orders for 'ha landing of the troops. It is understood they are to pro- ceed to the Duevgheli-Uskup rail- road, to guard the line.
 Deprived of the support of VeniZe- los, and with protest already filed against landing of the allied troops, a march through Greek territory would place the allies in precisely the same position in which Germany was placed, when she invaded Belgium for military reasons"
 Germany continues her efforts to secure the neutrality of Greece. She has offered guarantees. and assur- ances

Deadlock Exists, with Both Sides Stubbornly Holding
 Positions. s .t ;.

London, Oct. 5-Fighting in the Artois and Champagne sectors has again developed into fierce artillery duel, with the hostile armies gripped in deadlock, which is overlapping of the effectiveness with which the armies are holding their positions.
 Official reports of the day from Paris are barren of any claim of >ad- vanccs made, while Berlin mentions only one success, the-recapture of a section of trench which the French took yesterday to the northwest of Givenchy.
 British. attempts to retrieve their losses of the day before by attacks against the German notifications north tof Loos were repulsed with every considerable losses in killed and wounded" according to the German general staff.
 The center of artillery fighting in Artois has moved from the section between Souchez and Glenay to a point further south; and now the big guns are struggling for the mastery along. the front immediately north of La Scarpe and to the east of Arras.
 While the two mighty armies are attempting to reach a solution of the issue in. trench to trench warfare, the British fleet is hammering daily at the German right, bombarding with shells of every calibre the German gun positions at Westende and Mid- dlekerke. Reduction of these works or their enforced withdrawal is con sidered here to- be 8 necessary pre- Jude to a nadvance movement on this flank when the allies offensive is be- gun.

 management of the district and the ! structure over to the county. as was provided for in bill passed by the last legislature and vetoed by Gov ernor Hays. This was made known definitely yesterday, when a prOposi- ton was submitted to County Judge C. M. Philpot.
 A conference between members of the commission, county officials and
 legal representatives of the bridge
 commission and of the county will be held next Monday to arrange for the transfer, if it is decided that this can

 The bridge district was created by act of the legislature, and put into the hands of the commission, selfper- petuating body. which was given pow CT to levy whatever taxes necessary to carry out the purposes of the act. On ly by act of the legislature can the powers possessed by the commission be transferred to county officials.

 will serve as secretary and treasurer Or bookkeeper of the district without additional compensation. This ser vice is now costing the district $1o0 a
 month. Attorneys fees would also be saved. County Judge Philpot stated yester- day that while he is not seeking tn additicn nal work and responsibility, he is willing to assume the management
 of the district if by, ,sosdoing he can

Habits of the Wildcat.

To say that dog can whip his
weight in wildcats" is to pay about the
highest tribute to his strength, cour-
age and activity and there are very
few dogs that would care TO earn such
a tribute if they understood all it Inn
Piled Not that a wildcat is of spe-
cially aggressive disposition. On the
contrary, he would sooner mind his
own business any time than fight. So
anxious is be as a rule TO keep out
of trouble that he has often been ac-
cused of cowardice, but he has on so
many occasions given evidence of the
most desperate courage that it is
doubtful if the accusation is a fair
one. When wounded or at bay he is
perhaps as dangerous as any creature
of his size.

COMPULSORY MILITARY
SUGGESTED BY SEC'RY
IF CONTINENTAL ARMY CANNOT
BE RAISED, OTHERWISE COM
PuLsloN is RECOMMENDED BY
SECRETARY OF WAR.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Compul-
sorry military service is declared by
Secretary Garrison, in his annual re-
port made public today, to be the only
resort of the United States in pro-
viding an adequate defense, should
citizens fail to enlist in the Continental
Army proposed as a reserve to the
regular army.
Secretary Garrison throws down the
gauntlet to former Secretary Bryan
and other opponents of military pre-
paredness in this declaration: IF the
Nation requires certain service and
offers the most favorable opportunity
for the citizens to furnish such SER
vice, and Notwithstanding that, 1T can
not secure such service, it must then
resort to some method of compelling
the service
Mr.. Garrison makes this plain state
ment after discussing the prospects
of raising a reserve army of 100000
men through voluntary enlistment,
with respect to the annual install
ments of $4,000 men for the Cont
mental Army" says the Secretary Oh
War, ..the question undoubtedly will
be frequently asked. Can they be Sc
cured? Will you get the men? There
cannot of course be categorical an
swer to this question. Nobody knows
49, s,,o VIZ alter the
course which we should pursue. with
respect to the Continental force the
most favorable conditions will be pro
vided for the citizens to enter its ser
vice. The minimum of time will be
required. the maximum of compen
sation will be provided; and II the
volition of the citizens does not re
suit in the securing of the needed mum
Der, there will be complete demon
stration of the inability of any vol
unteer system to produce results.
These declarations on the part o
Secretary Garrison must inevitabl!
have the effective of throwing a bomi
into the camp of Mr.. Bryan and those
who assert that lack of military pre-
paredness in itself makes the Unite'
States immune from foreign attacks
Anticipating the antagonism of tn
pacificists, Mr.. Garrison devotes
large part of his report to meeting tn
arguments which he says will be
advanced against his policies.
