went UP to God.
The remarkable celebration began at
7:15 in the evening. with the simultane-
Gus ringing of ali the church bells in
Munich. For two hours previous to this
time crowds had been streaming from all
directions to the Koenigs platz, bedecked

That the real purpose OF the revo,u-

That the first problem TO be solved
In restoration of peace Is TO find for

able.
The minister's retirement will be at

first being the Austro Hungarian note

Greece Will Refuse
to Cede Territory at
Request Of Allies

LONDON, Aug. 7.-"Greece will not
cede one inch of territory to Bulgaria" Z"
was the substance of reply made by
Premier Gounaris to delegation of
Macedonian deputies who asked a state
ment relative to the purpose OF the gov
ernment, says a Reuter- dispatch from
Athens.
In the negotiations which have been
conducted by the allies of the quadruple
entente with Bulgaria in an effect to In
duce 1t to enter the war on their side, II
has insistently demanded tnat It be ceded
that part of Macedonia which was
awarded to Serbia at the close of the
Balkan wars. II also sought to obtain
at least a portion OF the Macedonia ter
ritory which came under the Greek flag
I'm the same way.
Macedonia was Turkish province until
the close OF the Balkan war. The region
embraces a medley of people, the chief
elements being slavs. osmanlis and
Greeks. The Slavs are Bulgarians ana
Serbs.
The statement attributed TO NJ.
Gounaris is significant in view OF the
fact that the British, French, Russian
and Italian ministers at Athens called
upon him Wednesday and made repre-
sentations regarding the political situa-
tion. Their purpose was to gain the as
sistance of Greece.
Similar representations were made yes
terday by the representatives of the same
nations at Nish 20 the Serbian premier.
This was regarded as the second step In
the attempt to bring about a Balkan
agreement. so that Bulgaria, Roumania
and Greece mey be numbered among the
allies.

JITNEY DRIVERS
SEEK REFERENDUM
Circulation of Petitions for Recall
of the Ordinance Passed by
City Council.
PREPARING FOR INJUNCTION

The iitney drivers expect to begin this
circulation of referendum petitions for
recall Of the ordinance Monday after
noon. Their attorney. A. l. sutton, is
preparing papers to be filed in district
court. looking toward an Injunction to
restrain enforcement of the new jitney
ordinance
Superintendent Kugers announcement
that he would allow the jitney drivers a
respite resulted in resumption OF busi-
ness yesterday afternoon.
One of the legal contentious now is
whether the city council was acting
within its rights when it passed the jit-
fSey ordnance sssltIE emergency clause.
City Solicitor Fieharty asserted the psSs"
pose Of this emergency clause was to
exclude the operation of the referendum
law, which does aot apply to emergency
measures The complainants will en-
deavor to show there is no emergency
within tie meaning of the law They
will also contend chat the 5000 liability
insurance requirement is unreasonable
legislation.
No Snap Judgment.
Superintendent 1<ugel Of the police de-
partment states he is not disposed to
take snap judgment on the enforcement
of the new jitney ordinance, which went
into effect last Thursday.
Il am willing to give the jitney men
ten days to two weeks. that they may
make arrangements TO comply with the
ordinance" said Mr.. Kugel.
The jitney people, however. declare the
ordinance, if enforced. would drive them
out of business They contend the bond
feature is unreasonable.
A representative of one of the large
liability insurance companies stated his
company does not want this business at
all on account Of the risks.
Not Good Risk.
There are too many exposures to the
business It is not profitable as a busi-
ness proposition. Tho Jitneys operate
many hours on the busiest streets and
the business is not a good risk. Our
company is not taking the business In
other cities" stated this bond man.
Another liability man believed that II
fifty Omaha jitney men will take this
liability insurance a rate of about $l.o
a year could be made for protection such
as is required by The ordinance A iit-
ney man claims he asked for liability
insurance for himself and was quoted
rate of $40 a year for 5000 liability,
with some reduction il volume Of busi-
ness can he secured.

average depth of 100 miles along a

what Russia's allies have so feared

The British press, baslng its opinions

lin or Vienna. Is inclined TO the Wow that
the forces OF Grand Duke Nichofas re-
tired from Warsaw virtually intact; but
there Is an Increasing disposition not to
minimize the seriousness OF the situa-

the duadruple powers seems to be mani
tested in renewed pressure to bring the
