GERMANS APPREHENslvE.

Berlin, Nov. 5.-The press of Ber-
lin makes no attempt to minimize the
victory Of Former Premier Venizeios
Of Greece over the Zaimis ministry,
and asserts it brings a sharp crisis in
the affairs of Greece. An exception is
the Vossische Zeitung, which declares
the Grecian cabinet crisis" is of no
significance in connection with the
foreign policy"
The Tageblatt devotes column to
comment on this situation, although
news of the defeat of Premier Zaimis
was not received until late last eve
ming. It says new and grave political
crisis has been created by the vote Of
the chamber of deputies and believes
financial difficulties or "the chicanery
practiced by the British fleet" may
have been the cause.
"But the fact cannot be denied 1t
continues, that majority Of the
chamber has taken the standpoint that
it is better to go through thick and
thin with the entente, as its true vas
sal and with it's financial support, ac-
cording to the wishes of Venizelos, and
to entrust the nations future to dar-
ing adventure, rather than to assume
the burden of temporary sacrifices and
hardship, which the country's persis-
tence in itp neutrality would entail

vENIzELos FOR ALLIES.

Athens. Nov A. Via London), Nov.
5.-One of the statements of M. Ven
izelos which attracted especial atten-
tion in the debate in the. chamber of
deputies today was that Great Britain 8
offer to cede the island of Cyprus to
Greece was independent Of the result
of the war, while other promises OF
concessions were conditional on the
success of the allies. Greece, he said,
was to acquire part of the village Of
Brusa and Bulgarian Thrace, while
Bulgaria was to be shorn of the terri
tory she gained as result OF the
Balkan war. All this, he declared,
would be obtained by Greece at small
cost since the proposals of the entente
powers required only the assistance of
smaller units of the Greek feet.
Referring to the allegation that
Serbia had failed to send against the
Bulgarians 100000 men in accordance
with the provisions of the treaty Of
the alliance, NJ. Venizelos said she ac-
tually had 10000 troops opposed to
the Bulgars. If Greece had taken the
field. the former premier asserted, her
army today would have been within
a short distance of Sofia, and Serbia
could have devoted her energies to
holding back the Austro-G Germans,
whose numbers were less than had
been reported.

TEuToNs MEET auLoARs.

Saloniki, Nov. 2.-(via Paris Nov. Is,
Delayed French headquarters ad-
nit that Austro German cavalry has
effected junction with the Bulgars
in the Belijovan region near Negotin
but asserts the country In this district
is SO difficult it is doubtful whether the
union of forces will serve any practical
end. Negotin is on the Danube at a
point where only the river separates
Rumanian territory from the frontiers
Of Bulgaria and Serbia.
An officer of the Serbian general
staff, discussing the situation, said to-
day:
"The main Austro-G German effort to
get in touch with the Bulgars Is pro-
ceeding very slowly and with exceed
ingly heavy losses up the Morava val
ley, through which the Turks invaded
Hungary. General Terzitch's division,
composed of natives of the Morava val
ley, is Offering desperate resistance.
Four attacks were required TO take
Semendria, which had to be stormed
with street fighting, every house being
q fortress. Zabrezge cost three success
sive charges which ended in hand to
hand struggles. @
after thirteen days the Austro-Ger-
mans arrived before Malakresna on
which they rained ten thousand shells
and stormed only after locating Ser
bian masked batteries which covered
1t. Seeking to retire, the invaders were
charged by cavalry and fled four miles
before they could reorganize their
shattered ranks to resume the attack
on Malakresna.
ION the nineteenth the Austro-Ger-
man advance up the Morava valley had
reached only the Lubejo bridge on the
Poschavavata line. The next day the
line extended as far as Azanja Pa
lanka fell on the thirty-frst. The
total advance in this section In four
weeks was fifteen miles, scarcely
third OF the distance to Paracin, where
a junction with the Bulgarians must
be effected by way of the Urna valley
Meanwhile the Bulgarians in this sec
tion advanced only as far as the line
of the Zajecar-Negotin railway. The
Serbian situation is serious but we
have no other intention than to fight
until the last"

Christmas Saving Accounts.

In many towns over the United
States the local banks have urged the
opening of Christmas Saving Ac-
counts" at the beginning of a new
year, and when Christmas of that year
rolls around there are scores of happy
women and children, because they
have an available supply of money
with which to make their Christmas all
it should be- From an Indiana paper
we clip the following showing what
was done last year:
'More than 1000 citizens of Rich
mond will share in $4,000 to be placed
in circulation December 18th, by the
First and Second National banks, which
will release the Christmas saving funds
three weeks from today.
at is estimated that more than half
of the money will be turned into COM
mercial channels within two weeks
after it has been released, creating a
temporary wave of prosperity. The
remainder, it is believed, will be left in
the banks as savings accounts.
Bankers say that the Christmas
savings plan hrs brought to the banks
hundreds of persons who never had
savings accounts before. Men, women
and many children are included on the
Christmas account books in the bank
ing institutions"
You women and children might begin
right now on a savings fund for next
year. Our bankers will welcome your
accounts, no matter how small.

Poisoning.

If the person takes poison either ac-
cidentally or Intentionally often val.
liable moments are wasted in confusion
in trying to decide what should be done
Therefore instead of giving long list
of particular antidotes for particular
poisons we are going to give one or
two general rules which are easily
remembered and may be followed in
all cases.
/. Send for doctor Immediately.
2. In half glass of water mix tea
spoonful Of salt and an equal portion of
ground mustard and give to the patient
This will produce vomiting almost i'm
mediately, and will get rid of the larger
portion TO the poison. II the doctor
has not arrived by this time give the
patient the white Of an egg which is a
good antidote for most poisons.
