GOVERNMENT GAINS
 ANOTHER POINT IN NEW HAVEN TRIAL
Documentary Evidence is Admitted After Sharp
 Legal Arguments!

New York. Nov. S.-In the trial C. the Il former directors of the NeW York, New Haven & Hartford ratl- road for attempting to monopoliaP railroad traflc n New England today the government spent the greater paFt of the morning session in reading into the record further documentary testis mony which was designed to tie up the flag ends of the governments case up to 1908. This chiefly consisted oA the New Haven board of directors which, however, did not get before the jury without a protest.
 Judge Hunt ruled that the eNcerpte offered by the government might be read, adding that the rest of the min utes might be put in by the defense if it so desired
 The government then called Chester w. Chapin, who controlled the Centrstif New England railroad, to tell what he knew of the alleged efforts of the New Haven to harass that road and qf its subsequent acquisition by the New Haven in 1904.

KING CONSTANTINE OF GREECE
member did not help him greatly in his
efforts. In 1897, when lie was twenty
eight, he was in charge of the troops
when Greece entered upon her disas-
trous campaign against the Turks. He
did the best he could with the two
dollar rifles bought from the French,
but he had TO suffer the blame for
nonsucceSS when it came. He and his
brothers We're actually booted" out Of
the service later. and it was not I'M
til the Balkan wars came on that he
had chance to redeem himself and
show the tough stuff of which he was
made.
At the age of forty-three the crown
prince found himself at the head of an
army improved almost out of recogni
ton by the efforts of Venizelos and
others and brought home the Spoils of
a glorious war to an enthusiastic and
united people. 1t was an extraordi-
nary rehabilitation of a seemingly i'll
starred military career. In one day,
almost, the man had risen from the
depths of unpOpularity to the very
height of national favor. When the
war closed and he had succeeded his
father (whO had been asSasSinated at
Saloniki in 1919, war medal in his
honor was struck by the Greek gov
eminent. On the medal Constantine
was called "Bulgarochthonos' CBulgar
Killer. and the inscription read, ITO
the Bulgar killing King"
Everything that has occurred since
the accession of Constantine-the quar-
reling that has gone on between the
king and VenizeloS. the breakdowns Of
ministries, the charges of mendacity
that have been hurled against the late
prime minister by his monarch and the
uncertainty that has existed regard
ing the immediate attitude of Greece
toward the warning nations-all show
that the man on the throne has policy
and that he is carrying it out with all
the firmneSS and character he possesses.
The kings policy is that Of q strict
neutrality and the avoidance Of any
ENHANCEMENT which will interfere with
the political and economic building up
OF the nation as it now stands. The
policy Of Venizelos is TO hold to the
nations obligations and to support the
cause Of the allies not only because Of
the dangers which any other policy
would involve, but also because of the
advantages which would accrue to
Greece If the allies won.

"HE king Of the Hellenes-to give
him his constitutional title-is
beyond question the man of

army with him and If he so wills can
seriously interfere with the plans Of
the allies in their defense against the
advancing hosts of the Teutonic pow
