ALLIES HOPE GROWS
FOR WINNING GREECE

London. Nov. 22.-The political
phase of the snarled Balkan situation
was slightly more favorable to the
Allies to-day as a result of the grow
ing likelihood that Greece may give
a favorable answer to the demands
of the entente powers that safety
be guaranteed to any Angla-French
or Serbian soldiers who retreat into
Greek territory from Serbia.
More victories for the German al
lies were announced in Vienna and
Berlin, and it is reported that part
of the Serbian army is fleeing into
Montenegro.
By the capture of Novibazr, the
Austro-German troops have cut off
the retreat of a portion of the Serb
army operating in the western
ranges of the Jastrebatz Mountains.
~ Lord Kitchener. the British Secre-
'tary of State for War, who conferr-
led with King Constantine on Satur-
day. is reported to be returning to
England.
Among the other salient features
of the Balkan situation ere these:
/. Greece reported to be prepared
to protest to the Allies against the
blockade.
2. The Anglo-French fleet off the
Greek coast reinforced.
8. Greece warned by the Teutonic
Allies in i circular-note with the
possibility that an ultimatum may
be forwarded to Athens from Berlin.
4. Military operations Of the Aus
tro-German and Bulgarian troops
continuing successfully.
Communication with Saloniki and
Athens is badly crippled, indicating
that the French and British are
keeping close watch upon the tele-
graph wires and cables.

PRESIDENT BLOCKS
FIGHT ON K|TCH|N
LEADER NOT EXPECTED TO
OPPOSE PREPAREDNESS
PLAN

Washington, Nov. 19.-Despite
complete realization that his opposi-
ton may defeat the preparedness
legislation planned by the Admins
tration. House advocates Of the new
army and navy plans admitted today
that they had little hopes of dis
lodging Claude Kitch;n as leader.
They blame the White House for
this condition of affairs, because the
President, through Secretary Tumul-
ty, has let it be known that he does
not want a fight made upon Kitchin
at this time.
The advocates of the military ana
naval programs, however. are count
ing noses to see whether they can
crystalize the now disconnected op-
position into a solid movement. With
that object in view, they have been
looking over the available candidates
The popular choice lies between F.
J. Garrett, Of Tennessee, and Henry
T. Rainey, of Illinois. Garrett is
very popular, is one of the ablest
speakers in the House and brilliant
parliamentarian. When Underwood
left the House he was candidate for
leader, but withdrew in the interest
of harmony when Kitchin insisted
on his seniority.
Rainey's chances are damaged by
geographical conditions. The over
whelming predominance of the
Southern Democrats makes their
control of the House certain. and if
Kitchin does finally go there is little
doubt that Garrett will be his sue
cessor.
Although Kitchin has written sew
eral letters in which he has declared
his unalterable opposition to the
big army and navy plan under pre-
sent. conditions, many of the mem
bcrs now here expect that he will an
nounce, when he reports here next
week, that he will rot make any
open fight on the plan. Naturally
he will not have to handle the blan-
ket bill which will provide for car
rying. out the Presidents prepared
ness plans, as that measure will be
in the hands of Chairman Hay, of
the Military Affairs, and L. P. Pad
gett, of the Naval Affairs Committee
of the House. Kitchin's task will
be to handle the revenue measure
and he is not expected to balk there.
The fact that Speaker Clark has
promised that, if necessary, he will
step down and become the leader in
the preparedness fight, has simplifed
the passage of the bill, the intimates
of the President assert.

A LETTER.

Mr.. Editor:-I respectfully ask
space in your good paper to make
a statement. with suggestion, to the
worthy people of Abbeville county
especially to those who reside a
short distance to the West of Able
vile G. H.
Somewhere between Lebanon and
Sharon churches there live two eX-
ceIlent old people, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
J. Woodhurst, and, as the sixtieth
anniversary of their marriage will
be the 9th instant, Monday after
next, it occurs to me that it will be
both pleasant and proper for their
friends and neighbors to remember
them socially and substantially on
that day to them full of happy
memories.
From letters received from friends
in their vicinity lately, I have
learned that Mr.. Woodhurst has been
very sick Of late, and while he is
better. still he is quite feeble, also
that Mrs. Woodhurst is blind and
largely helpless. Mr.. Woodhurst is
80 years old and Mrs. Woodhurst is
S6-both venerable patriarchs,
worthy of the sympathy and good
will of everybody.
Having served in the same COM
pany with Mr.. Woodhurst during
the "War between the States," for
three years and more, I can say
with certainty that he made a good
and faithful soldier the whole time.

WAR BABIES" AGAIN CLAIM ATTENTION The Stock Market Shows Many New High
 Prices

New York, October es,-War special ties and similar issues again claimed more than their share of speculative attention in this weeks active mar ket. These stocks made up very large percentage of the active trading. to- gether with United States Steel. which moved closer to its record price of 1909 in anticipation of favorable quarterly statement to be issued next week.
 Many new high prices were made, Bethlehem Steel leading the move ment with its sale at 500 per share. This represented gain of 116 points from last weeks final quotations some of the automobile stocks and other industrials whose by-products are being used for the manufacture of ex- plosives, made gains of 20 to 40 points,
 The strength of several of the local steel shares on rumors of a combina- tidn revived the pooling of independ- ent interests with the newly organized Midvale Steel company. Concerns mem toned in this connection included the Colorado Fuel and Iron and Great Northern Ore companies
 Railways were stronger as whole hut demand for the high grade stocks was comparatively light. Rock Island was weak on publication of a state ment purporting to show the road s enormous financial needs, but Missouri Pacific and Wabash Issues were bet ter on the improved status of those properties.
 Weakness of all forms of foreign exchange with demand sterling down to St.65 was the more inexplica ble' in View of the recent receipt of another large amount of gold from England. n 1icl1r nf with negotiations to that end for French and Russian interests failed to exert a stabilizing effect in the inter- national money markets.
