Mutineern Abandon Cruiser
Shanghai, December 7.-u

Shanghai, December 7.-Un- der cover of the darkness last night the rebels, who had gath cred at the west gate, dispersed and scattered. Quiet now pre- vails.
 Three outbreaks by small bands of rebels within 24 hours have been put down and the au- thorities have the situation in hand.
 The cruiser Chao-Ho. seized yesterday afternoon by 40 men who boarded her from launch. was abandoned by the rebels early today after she had been shelled and set on fire. It was reported at first that the crew had mutinied. but it developed today that the bombardment by the cruiser of other warships and the arsenal was carried on under compulsion from the rebels, who surprised and over powered tre crew. Three men on the cruiser were killed and five wounded.

In notable statement made to the Associated Press, King Constantine of Greece declared that the Greek people were not for war; that so far as he and his people could prevent it, Greece would take no part in the conflict In the Balkans.
 He declared further that, together with the assurances from the Greek government, he had given his personal word that the Greek forces would never be used to attack the French and British. But he was determined upon two things-Greece would remain neutral and would maintain her sov- ereign right to protect herself.
 King Constantine prohpesied that the allied adventure in the Balkans would be failure unless at least 100000 men were sent there.
 Pope Benedict in his allocution be- fore the cardinals at a secret consis- tory urged peace among the warning powers-a just and lasting peace which favored none. This happy result could be attained only by "an exchange of ideas. based upon good will and calm delibera tion, duly recognizing the as- pirations of all, eliminating the un- just and impossible and taking into account with equal measure what is just and possible.''

 "It is said that have exceeded the constitution. What I have done is to apply the constitution. The constitution gives me the power to dissolve the cham ber to prevent just such disasters as fol- lowing the Venzelos policy would have proved at this juncture. My duty under the constitution was to exercise that power. I did exercise 1t and will con tinue to exercise it so long as it is neces- sary to save my people from destruction.

i gives me the power to dissolve the cham Der to prevent just such disasters as fol- lowing the Eenizeos policy would have proved at this juncture My duty under the constitution was to exercise that power. I did exercise 1t and will con- tinue to exercise it so long as it is neces- sary to save my people from destruction.
 ALLIED TROOPS NOT INVITED
 Another thing I want to make clear. It is said that M. Venizelos, with my as- sent. invited the allied troops to come to Salonki. Nothing could be further from the truth M. Venizelos may have expressed the personal opinion that if the allied troops landed at Saloniki, Greece would not resist. How could she resist? But that M. VeniZelos ever, as the re- sponsble head of the Greek govern ment, formally invited foreign troops to enter Greek territory is wholly untrue"
 Your majesty believes that the allied Balkan expedition is doomed to failure?'
 Certainly it is doomed to failure if un- dertaken with no more men than are now there or are on the way.
 Great Britain does not seem disposed to send an adequate force and France cannot do the job alone. The minimum army that can hope to accomplish any thing in the Balkans is 100000 men. As that number is not being sent, that is my proof that it is Greece that must suffer Greece that must pay for the failure of the allied Balkan venture.
 DEMANDS TOO MUCH
 "If the entente will assure me that when they are driven back into Greek territory they will consider the Balkan game ended, re-embark and leave Greece. I will guarantee my whole army to pro- tect their retreat against the Germans Bulgarians or anybody else and give them time to embark without being en- dangered. Then I would be legitimately protecting my frontiers and it would not involve Greece in further risks. More cannot do.
 .The entente's demand is too much. They try to drive Greece out of neu- trality; they came into Greek territory and waters as though they were theirs. At Nautlia, they destroyed tanks of pe- troleum intended to kill locusts on the excuse that it might be used by German submarines. They stop Greek ships; they ruin Greek commerce as they have done with American ships. too; they want to seize our railways and now they demand that we take away troops guarding the Greek frontiers, leaving my country open to invasion or any lawless incursion.
 T will not do it. I am willing to dis cuss reasonably any fair proposals But two things I will not concede; Greece shall not be forced or ca5oled of her neu- trality: Greece will maintain her sover- eigntv and her sovereign right to protect herself at need"
 And if that is not satisfactory-if CO., ercive measures are used by the ente powers?' the King was asked.
 I've shall protest to the whole world that our sovereign rights are violated. We shall resist passively. as long as we hu- namely can, being forced by any measures whatsoever into course which we know will be prejudicial to the liberties and happiness of our people,"
 "And when you cannot hold out any longer?"
 we shall have to demobilize our ar mics and await the march of events. What else can we dor"

FROM OAKLAND MARYLAND TO
SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA
Notes of the Trip From Salt Lake
City TO the Golden Gate.

Much might be written about the
church of the Latter Day Saints and
their peculiar un-American and I'M
scriptural teachings, viz:
The Doctrine of Blood Allotment.
which was nothing short of legalized
murder. If taught today 1t is done in
the secrecy of the temples entrance into
which no outsider is permitted
The doctrine of polygomy which is no
longer publicly preached. What trans
pires in the "EndowmentRHouse, " only
those of the fat h" know.
The doctrine of tithing, the source
from which the revenue of the church
is mostly derived. The big tithing
ware houses located here and there,
were hives Of industry. The great
stores, conducted by officials of the
church, were largely supplied from
these warehouses.
There is a great difference between
the Mormonism of today and that Of
years back, as seen by the general
public.
The Utah grown potato is the finest
favored tuber grown, because of irri-
cation and because of irrigation, vege-
tables of all kinds are abundant, good
and low priced.
Salt Lake City is an up-to- date city
of over so, 900 souls, and with all the
modern conveniences and "'doings. 4"
The markets are exceptionally fine.
We will bid good bye" to Zion and
its peculiar people and travel westward,
for visit to the Pacific coast. and
few days sojourn in San Francisco,
where today the people of the World
are tiocking to take look at the Fan
ANA exposition. In a little over an
hours rideion the Utah Central R. R..
through rich valley, and yet in view
of the snow capped mountains we reach
Ogden the junction of the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific railroads and the
Utah Northern railroad. Twas near
this city that the iron rails from the
East and West were united and a gold
spike used to commemorate the oc
casion.
Ogden is the second largest Mormon
city in the State. 1t is a live town
five railroads meet here to exchange
passengers and freight.

Will Begin in These Columns SeriaIIy Next Week

At Ogden we take the Central Pa
cific, in one of the splendid Pullman
cars we begin the journey for miles
along the Great Salt Lake, then through
the barren sandy desert of Nevada, the
home of prairie dogs and snakes and
owls. Occa sionalIy a small herd of anti
lope are seen. A long, hot dreary ride,
until Reno is reached, an oasis in the
desert.
What relief it was to get out of the
car and tramp on mother earth again
and exchange the sand hills and PLAINS
for few acres of green SOD, trees and
the largest town on the main line OF
the railroad in Nevada Here the rail
road company had neat station build
ing and hotel, with a fountain playing
in front.
A dinner was eaten here. never to be
forgotten. There was abundance in
variety and in quantity. 1t was enjoy
ed. Thirty minutes for dinner Genu
inc mountain trout, qenison, bear steak,
etc. The service was fine Plenty of
time. The cashier at the stand cried
out, Don't be alarmed l will notify
you in plenty Of time for your train"
There is no question about getting
your moneys worth. | fancy | can
taste that dinner yet. We pay our Is
cents, leave the feasting and step
around out doors, until the conductor
cries, "all aboard. 3"
From this on until San Francisco is
reached we travel through a different
county. The tall mountains disappear
each mile Travelled. Soon California is
reached, but little green grass is seen
only where water is plentiful. The
grass has a yellow color because of
lack of rain. California is the second
largest state of the Union. You could
hide several states like Maryland IN it
and have plenty of room to enjoy life
1t is great agricultural state and its
fruits are delicious.
En- route to San Francisco we see
Sacramento, the capital of the state
Great stacks of wheat and barley are
piled up along the railroad tracks,
awaiting cars for transportation to
market. At the close.of the second day
we pull into the station at San Fran
cisco.
San Francisco is the metropolis of the
Pacific coast of the American continent. |
1t has splendid harbor, and enjoys an
extensive trade with China, Japan,
Austria, Mexico, South America, Hawii
and Alaska.

Great sugar refineries are located in

in July and found an overcoat a neces-
ity in the early morning. Through the
day it was quite warm.
The feeding Of the sea lions. in the
bay, was an ENJOYABLE sight. The
ride through the public park was very
pleasant and interesting. OF course a
visit had to be made to Chinatown. "
Several transcontinental railroads
center here. Travellers from all over
the world are met in the hotel lobvs.
On the streets are the little, persever-
ing, Industrious Japs. and John CHINA
man and Lee Hop. San Francisco, as a
city is most interesting and ENJOYABLE.
The state is the paradise of the world.
Orange and lemon groves. fig and
olives. grapes, plums, peaches and ap-
pricots and berries are abundant.
1t is a region of great wealth, magni-
ticent colleges and universities. Old
Spanish monastaries and buildings are
met with in your travels. 1t is a land
of roses. Flowers everywhere. Valu-
able forests of redwood, great trees
and mammouth grape vines.
When it does rain in California, it
rains. There is a rainy season-not of
gentle showers, but land soakers, gully
washers, and stream Overlooking rains.

Enthusiastic heetine Held at Stone
House.

Between Is and 100 citizens of Gar
rett County, Salisbury and vicinity met
at the Stone House Farm and formed
an organization for the purpose of re-
locating portion and rebuilding the
road leading from the National Pike to
the Pennsylvania line. The distance to
be worked is about two and one-half
miles, and is the most direct route
from Salisbury to the National Pike.
The road is already in fairly good con-
dltlon from town to the line, from there
the plans laid out are to eliminate sew
eral steep grades and needless curves.
making 1t much easier for general use
than the present road. Commissioner
Flke Of Garrett County was present
and with number of the citizens went
over the entire road and the changes
to be made were thoroughly looked in
to. The decisions reached all agree will
make one of the most beautiful drives
in this nelghborhood.
After going over the route all gath.
cred at the Stone House. The meeting
was called to order by DR.. A. NJ. Lichty,
who in few well chosen words ex-
planned the object of the meeting and
nominated MIR. Henry P. Miller, super
lntendent of the Stone House farm,
president, Mr.. Miller vas unanimously
elected.
President Miller having taken the
chair the officers were elected: Robt.
H. Johnston, Secretary; Albert Reitz,
Treasurer of the subscription funds; G.
j. Gnagey, vice president.
The president, vice president and the
three supervisors met and formed the
plans and arranged for carrying on the
work, which is to be started as prompt
ly and rushed through as quickly as
possible.
There is no doubt of the work going
ahead promptly with the five men
placed in charge by the meeting. The
work has been placed in their hands
with the understanding that they should
make the road and do it as soon as thew
could. We are well enough acquaint-
ed with them to know that they will
carry out the desire of the people that
placed them in charge of this work.
The cost of this repairing, above the
Garrett County funds available, is to
be made up by subscription, every dol
lar given will be help, therefore we
earnestly hope any one who feels IN
clined to help will not hesitate to send
IN any amount they feel like giving.
Commissioner Fike stated that he
would give all the assistance possible,
that there was something like $500
available for the purpose and if posi-
BILE he would do better. DR.. Lichtv re-
ported almost 500 subscribed together
with 10 days labor. Mr.. Henry Miller,
who has charge of the subscription list
IN Garrett County, reported something
over $50 cash and labor.
Moved by A. M. Lichty, seconded by
j. e. Lichliter that vote of thanks be
extended to Commissioner Fike for his
interest in this road Improvement
