GREEK KING BREAKS
WITH HIS. PREMIER
Constantine Unable to Support
Policy of Ministry.
NATION ON VERGE or WAR
Parliament Votes Confidence in Cab
met -Pro-AIiies' Party Wins
Russian Ultimatum to Bull
garia Delayed.

London, Oct. 6.-Premier Ven1zelos
of Greece has resigned, according to
! a news agency dispatch received here
King Constantine having Informed
him that he was unable to support the
policy of his ministry. Previously
Venizelos had told the chamber OF
the landing of allies at Salonikl ana
refuted the arguments that the gov
eminent intended to lead the country
into war. A vote of confidence in the
ministry was then taken.
The vote Of confidence in the Venl'
Zelos cabinet, taken in connection
with the premier's resignation, is in
terpreted as an open break between
the ministry and King Constantine.
Venizelos has long been recognized
as a strong partisan OF tire allies.
Bulgaria to Fight.
Berlin, Oct. G.-All doubt of the in
tcntions Of Bulgaria were set at rest
by an important statement made Dy
Premier Radoslavof and published
in the Lokal Anzeiger. Bulgaria re-
jects any preteXt chat her mobillZa-
ton was made for the defense OF her
neutrality.
Bulgaria will extend her frontiers
towards the northwest and the south,
the prime minister is quoted as say
ing. Later ne added: The situation
of the country and of the cabinet
makes a search for prcteXts -.nneces-
sary.'
Furthermore, it is definitely stated
that Roumania has come to an agree
ment with the central powers and VIII
remain neutral. Even Greece. in the
opinion of tie Bulgarian premier, VIII
not oppose the otYe>sive of the central
powers against Serbia.
The official newspaper, Naradamy
Praya. commenting on this statement,
says:
Everybody can see that days Of
the most serious importance are COM
ing. Everybody will be ready to sacri-
flee what is dearest to him. If every
body does his duty. Bulgaria will be

WarIike Declaration.
Unofficial reports circulated here
are that Russia, in pursuance OF the
WORDING of her ultimatum. has sew
cred relations with Bulgaria and with
drawn the entire stats of her minis
try and consulates. A dispatch from
Sofia, quoting Premier Radoslavoff as
saying: I'VE confront war and must
defend our national interests" gave
weight to the report that the long
expected break has actually come.
While Berlin dispatches indicate
that Bulgaria has definitely decided
to join the Teutonic allies against
Serbia, the Berlin declaration that
neither Roumania nor Greece will op-
pose such action is questioned here.
A dispatch from the Paris Matin de-

WE ARE BETTER "PREPARED".
..c5 NOW. |: fEfs
Chicago Herald.

+ A striking story from a British
artillery officer about how the allies
won their recent successes on, the
western front appeared in the Herald
Saturday morning. There was mo
element of SURPRISE the officer de-
clared- The allies had plenty of
ammunition, while the Germans had
to economic. The workshops Of
Britain and France had at least
caught up with and possibly surpass-
ed in productive power these Of Ger
many.
Rejecting upon this aspect, it may
occur to some that the great trade
in munitions" which has grown up
in this country as result Of Eu-
ropes war has benefits for us 9th
er than its money profits. 1t has
enormously enlarged our workshops
for the making of materials indis-
pensable to modern armies. In that
sort CT preparedness" to uphold
American rights and interests we
are in vastly better condition than a
year ago.
Now it is quite possible that the
European war may leave when it
ends certain international Ques-
items still to be settled, just as our
civil war did. At the end of our
civil war we had more than 100000
attl:-hardened soldiers, the most
powerful steam navy afloat, and the
workshops equipped to make all need
full munitions" for both. And we
were heard a great deal more re-
specially by nations with which we
had grievances to- adjust than we
would have been heard in 1861
Which historic facts suggest the
thought that President Wilson and
his advisers may have been some
what more foresighted than they
seemed when they stood on estab-
lished principles Of international and
national law and refused to inter
ferc with traffic in munitions. For
that traffic has more than just

President Wilson has the oppor
tunity- by virtue Of the strong con
fidence CT the public and his remark
able control of Congress-to restore
rank to which President Roosevelt
had brought it in 1905. If this is to
be done it should be done with all
possible expedition; and, by utiliz-.
ing the full shipbuilding resources
both of r. navy yards and the yards
of the private shipbuilding firms, it
would be possible to carry our navy
up to the second rank not long at
ter, and possibly by the close OF
the present European war.
To-day we have fourteen dread
thoughts built and building. Con-
gress should authorize the INN ediate
construction of six 33,000-ton g.
knot battle-cruisers, each carrying
eight Of the new type 16-inch gun.
On 80 900 tons it would be possible
to give these ships - inches Of pro-
lection on belt and gun positions.
AS a fast wing of the fleet and
for breaking through the cruiser
screen Of the enemy they would be
unrivaled and they could 'lie in
the line" against any ships that are
afloat to-day.
Also, the forthcoming Congress
should authorize the construction OF
a dozen 5,OO0-ton, 30-knot scouts,
of the British "Arethusa" class,
mounting a heavy battery of 507cali-
Der '5inch guns.
Our destroyer fleet should be
strengthened by the addition OF thfr-

latest type; and the submarine fleet
should be increased by building a
dozen large 20-knot seaogoing sub
marines of the type now under con-
struction, and two dozen coast de-
tense submarines of smaller displace-
ment-
The above, with the necessary in
crease in the numbers Of our off,
GERS and men, to make good our
present deficiency of 1000 officers
and 10000 men, and provide crews
for the new ships as they come in
to commission, would rapidly bring
the United States Navy UP to stan
dard Of strength, where it could pre-
sent an unbeatable line of defense
against any possible attack from
the navies of the old world.
Our Government and private yards
combined could take care of this
building programme, ambitious
though it is; and with such a start
in 1866, it would take relatively
moderate appropriations in successive
years to bring the Navy to the de-
sired strength and keep it there in
the years to come; for Europe will
be able to spare but little money for
naval construction when the present
war is over.

A FLASH OF SONG AND ORANGE

A FLASH OF SONG AND ORANGE.
The following poem by Miss Lot
tic Z. Granger appeared in recent
number Of Our Dumb Animals:
A Flash of Song and Orange.
Oh, the second week in May,
When the apple trees are gay
And the shadows lie in shimmers on
the ground.
If you listen, you will hear
From some tree-tcp, piping clear,
A hasitant, short whistle, soft and
round.
If you follow up the note,
Ycu will see an orange coat,
Flashing out and in among the ten
der leaves;
Then-a streak across your eye
To another tree he'll HE
You have lost him; Follow up the
Song he weaves.
"Oh!" he'll say in deep surprise,
And you'll wait to realize
What his whistled exclamation to
unrOll;
In a trice you'll have it fast,
If you put the first with last,
For in syllables he'll dole out 60
ri-ole"
Der and DER he'll tell his name,
To listening modest dame.
Who with him's been picking out a
fitting bough;
And when summer breeZes blow:
You will see two heads bent low,
Over birGlings in hang-nest they
endow.
But, with weight of family cares,
He grows weary, so he darcs
Cut a syllable or two from off his
name;
That's no matter just joke
Blinked at by his family folk.
For they know that he is busy all
the same.
And he is for every day.
Summer through, is just like May
To this rantipole who's spearing bugs
and things;
Any clear bright afternoon,
You can hear his shortened tune.
Or can catch the flash of orange
from his wings.

Commander Schneider was convinced
that the, Arabic intended to ram the
submarine.
"On the other hand, the imperial
government does not doubt the good
faith of the affidavit of the British
officers of the Arabic, according to
which the Arabic did not intend to
ram the submarine. The attack OF the
submarine was undertaken against
the instructions issued to the COM
mander. The imperial government re-
grets and disavows this act and has
notified Commander Schneider accord
ingly.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
BY CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.
A Big Outlook.

New York. Feb. 3. Three billion
three hundred million dollars is the
figure at which the collector OF the
port of New York estimates the ex-
port business OF the United States for
the coming year.
AT present." declares Mr.. Malone,
"the value Of exports from New York
ranges from 100000 to $6,0OO.OOO a
day. At this rate the total value OF
exports passing through this port for
the year 1915 will reach Sl.30O.00O 900.
The port of New York handles about
40 per cent OF the export trade of the
country"
Four hundred million dollars In
crease In exports means enormous de.
mands upon producing plants OF
various kinds. Extension OF business,
employment of more labor in a hun
bred fields. quickly has a tonic effect
upon thousands Of minor contributory
industries. Sooner or later millions
of individuals will find themselves
better off.
A country with such a prospect
must be reused in spite of itself. No
depression can spoil The start; no
doubts retard the pace.
