Heavily Censored News.
1t Is evident that all news from
Berlin respecting the military opera
tons undertaken against Serbia has
been heavily censored. One dispatch
today said that quick and over
whelming victories for the central
empiRe and a speedy ending of the
war will follow Rulga~ia's entrance
into the conflict according to belief
In military circles.
An Athens dispatch today said that

news, and is entirely unofficial. OF the
presence OF any British troops at the
Greek port. The French forces are
said to be landing mile and half
from the town and are being conserve

1913, on which to build warehouses.
From this point they are entraining
as quickly as possible for Gievgeli. on
the Serbian frontier.
The Bulgarians are said to be

Dedeghai All buildings along the
coast have been evacuated and long

commissioner from Monroe Ward, ~
that place will also 90 out Of exist
ence. Then the board will consist OF
Just four men. one representative from
each Of the following wards: Clay.
Lee, Madison and Jefferson.
All this, OF course, depends upon
what may be done by Council in the
direction OF charter changes. The
general desire on the part of all par
ties favoring a change Is that the
Police Board be eliminated or aboi-
tshed. The discussions before and In
that committee all tend that way.
The general impression is that when
the committee makes It's recommen-
dalton to the City Council It will have
done away with the Police Board.

NEW CABINET OF
GREECE FORMED

/ London, Oct. Alexander Zaimis.
who has twice been prime minister
OF Greece. has again been called by
King Constantine and has accepted
rhe premiership in succession to NJ.
Venizelos. A few hours after this
fact was made known at Athens NJ.
Eaimis announced that all OF his
cabinet membe had been appointed
and that the new ministry would meet
on Monday
1t became known today that the
rupture between King Constantine
and NJ Venizelos followed visit OF
, the German minister to the king i'm
/ mediately after the session of the
chamber at which Venizelos outlined
the policy he expected Greece to fol-
low.
Tonight forty eight hours after NJ.
Venzelos was forced to resign, fol-
lowing his first open espousal of the
entente cause, there is absolutely no
indication from Athens that King
! Constantine and his German queen
will not succeed in preventing Greece
from being definitely aligned on the
side Of the Allies. Reports say that
the news of the Venizelos resignation
came as complete surprise to the
Greek public, but that no demonstra-
tions have been made and that no OPP
position Of a serious nature has yet
arisen against The Kings action.
All of the commentators both here
and in Paris agree, however, that lit
tie. IL any, light can be thrown on the
Greek situation at present They are
anxiously awaiting Developments at
i Athens, meanwhile drawing attention
to the seriousness which have per
nnitted such an unexpected contingency.

Washington, Oct THE story OF
how the Bishop OF Lemburg, captured
by the Russians last fall when they
took the Galician city of that name.
was freed from imprisonment. came to
light here today. According to this
story, which Is vouched for on good
authority. though official confirmation
is not given, President Wilson made a
personal appeal to the Car Of Rus
STA, which secured the release OF the
Bishop.
When the Bishop was made prison.
er by the Russians last fall. there
was great protest from Catholics
generally. and an appeal was made to
the State Department that this gov
eminent take action looking to bring
ing about his release. The State De-
partment felt that it could not move
in the matter as it developed that
the bishop was being treated with due
consideration
Father Russell. pastor of ST. Pat
rick's Church here. thereupon APP
pealed to President Wilson. AS soon
as his appeal was made, the Presi-
dent sent a personal message to the
Car and the Bishops release follow

skinner persona Non Grata.

Washington. Oct TIT became
known here today that there is some
uncertainty as to whether Consul
General Skinner. who has been sum-
moned from his post at London to
confer with ofTicials OF the Depart
ment of State. will return to his post.
The State Department continues to
regard Mr., skinner as one of the
most capable men in the consular
service, but recent developments have
raised the question as to whether his
usefulness in London has not been
impaired on account OF the attitude
of the British government toward
him. Mr.. skinner last summer sent
to the State Department q report on
British trade with the neutral coun-
tries of Europe. which was made UP
largely from British official figures.
In connection with these figures. how
ever. Consul-General Skinner made
some comments which were used In
this country as the basis OF the charge
that the British government was dis
eliminating against American trade
with the neutral countries for the
purpose OF Increasing British trade
with those countries.
