HALF BILLION LOAN

nople. For. the accomplishment of this programme they have already secured the cooperation of Bulgaria. They need the neutrality of Greece and Rouma mia and then must crush Servia.
 Today's developments tend to confirm the statements of the German press that the German Emperor has guaranteed to Bulgaria both Greek and Roumanian ne,l- trality. Thus the crucial field of war fare has shifted from the French and Russian fronts to the Balkan peninsula, where German success would mean the realization of Emperor Williams ambi- tons for expansion toward India and Asia.
 The people of the entente nations fully appreciate the crisis. British newspapers impress on the public that if the German Emperor has secured the friendly neu- trality of the King of Greece. enormous military efforts will be needed to check the combined German and Austrian ac- vance toward a Junction with the Turks and Bulgaria.
 The French and British expedition may have completed the landing at Saloniki but if Greek support against Bulgaria cannot be counted on heavy reinforce nents will be needed
 While technically King Constantine ac- cepted the resignation of NJ Venizelos, his action amounted to dismissal of the pre- mier. The Greek chamber had approved the premiers merely formal protest against the allies landing on Greek soil and his declaration that Greece was bound by treaty and vital interests to go to Servia's aid without waiting for a declaration of war by Bulgaria, by ma jority of 40 in house of 257, of whom B abstained from voting.
 The majority may have appeared not a large one for committing the country to war and thus the King may have felt justified fins informing the premier that he could not pursue the cabinets policy to the end. A coalition cabinet without M. Venizelos nrobably will be formed either with ex-Premier Rhallis or ex-Premiei Zaimis at the head.
 The possibility that Greece may try to remain neutral, fearing to stake the na. tion's fate on the success of either party in the great war, is recognized in England although 1t is considered small The hopes of the entente powers are that popular sentiment Is with them and that the King may find 1t best to bow before the will of the people, as he has done be- fore.

 No other revenue measures have been approved by the ad- ministration so far. although many suggestions may be con sidered before Congress com pletes It's work. Retention. Of the duty on sugar--which goes on the free list May l, 1916. unless Congress acts-would give the treasury about s5o,00o,- 900 year.

SCHOOL CHILDREN VISIT EXPOSE
TON,

The school children are visiting the
Exposition, by the courtesy of the
management. The seventh grade chill
dren went Monday, the sixth grade
Wednesday, the fifth yesterday and
the third and fourth grades of the
North Ward school will attend today.
Saturday will be special high school
day, the high school students will be
admitted at greatly reduced rates, and
the management is planning some spe.
cial features for their benefit. The
third and fourth grades from the Will
school will attend next Monday, the
eighth grade on Tuesday, the seventh
grade on Thursday; because they did
not have a good opportunity the first
day, they will be allowed to repeat.
The plan for the school children is
different this year. In previous years
the plan has been to allow all the
children of the schools to visit the En-
position on one particular day, and
the result was not gratifying. BY the
present arrangement, the children are
Kept under good control and derive a

Plans Urged
By Board

Washington, Oct. 7.-Organization
Of the navy's new civilian advisory
board here today, with Thomas A.
Edison as chairman, vas followed by;
the adoption Of a resolution propos-
ing the establishment Of a great re-
search and experimental laboratory
to cost about 81, 10000 1t is probable
the recommendation will be included
by Secretary Daniels in his estimates
to be sent to Congress this winter.
"The Naval Consulting Board is
the official title chosen by the scient-
lists who compose the new, arm of the
macy with the approval Of Secretary
Daniels. 1t wa sannounced that regu,,
lar meetings would be held every So
days, the next to take place in New
York, December 8.
New sessions were held today, the
first devoted to organization and cleo.
ton of officers and second to the con
sideration Of the laboratory PLAN,
which after being proposed by Score.
tary Daniels was framed into an elab.
crate report.
Although the board will enter upon
it's task with such accommodations as
are available at once it will not be
able actually to undertake the work
contemplated by Mr.. Daniels, and its
members, until the research labora.
tory has been provided.
The .repor.: adopted today recon-
mends that a laboratory, buildings,
ground and equipment to cost approx
imately $4,000, 900 should he located
on tide-water Of sufficient depth to
permit a dreadnaught to come to the
dock and that it should be nea but
not in a large city, so that supplies

It proposes the construction of shops
and f~oundries of various kinds, a mo.
ton picture development department,
mechanical and wireless, and explcs-
i've laboratories and a complete draft
ing room.
