PARIS, Dec. 11.-Greece has yielded
to the demands of the allies; large
part of the Hellenic army will be de-
modified: withdrawal of Greek troops

This Information came to Paris in a

after ministers of the entente powrs
had given notice that all Greek ports
would be blockaded unless the allies
were assured of complete liberty of
military action.
New demands said to have taken the
nature of an ultimatum were present

upon the withdrawal of the Greek
forces concentrated at Salonika. With

is the worst we have seen in years.
We are sorry to note that so many
OF our people nave no potatoes this
year The seed rotted and those who
ordered the plants have not been able
to secure them. Some people ordered
plants sending the money along with
the order and have heard nothing from
the plants or the money. There should
be law to protect our farmers from

to take the money in the early spring
and then not send the Wants and for
these sharks to continue to advertise

ship. If writer was a member of t.
