They had quarreled. and parted;
the two great men to whose collabo-
ration Greece owes all she has gain
ed. the two appropriations of the lands
of bulgaria, had fallen out between
themselves, and it was the time for
the latter country to begin to obtain
her rights. 1t marked the end of
Greece's upward soaring, and the
commencement of her expiration.
King Constantine alone can accom-
plish Lothing of Importance; and he
has lost greatly in popularity and
prestige. So high, indeed, rose the
popular Indignation that Dunaris, the
new premier. Who had come in with
views of absolute neutrality in the
war, soon found it advisable to try to
follow the path that Venezeios was
blazing when he left it.
But it was too late; the days that
had been lost were fatal to Greece's
future. When Dunaris approached the
Triple Entente, announcing that
Greece was now disposed to aid them,
provided they assured her the quiet
ness of bulgaria, and the possession
of Smyrna with western Asia Minor
and the islands held by Italy, he was
met with the retort that they no
longer had need of Greece's help,
that the islands were to remain Ital-
ian. and that western Asia Minor was
to be divided hereafter between Italy
and Russia.
What Had Happened.
What had happened was this: Dur
ing those few last days Russia had
learned through the vaporings of the
Greek press and the indiscretion Of
her publicists. that Greece's ambi-
tions for empire went beyond even
the whole of western Asia Minor, and
aimed really at the possession of the
strait and Constcntinople: Russia
therefore informed her allies that
she would have none Of Greece rs

CUSTOM REVENUE

So-Cslled Five Per Cent" Clause is Sustained by the Customs Court With One Dissenting Opinion.

WASHINGTON, May 96-The so- called five percent clause in the tar ih law granting a reduction in duties of that amount on goods imported in American ships, was sustained by the custom court. which held also the five percent rebate must be granted on all goods imported in ships Of those countries with which the United States has favored nation" treaties As such treaties exist with the priuci- .pal countries Of the world the effect .of the decision is practically to reduce the customs revenue by five percent .If the decision is sustained in the su- preme court of the United Ctates, to which it will be appealed. approNi- mately $15OOO,OOO in duties. already collected, must be refunded
 In a dissenting opinion, Judge Dcy- ries pointed out the majority decision means that the goods imported in about fifty-five hundred foreign yes sells of the favored nation countries shall receive this reduction in GUS toms duties. Five percent. lt is esti- mated, in the customs revenues for the present fiscal year would exceed eleven millions and in years to come the total would grow to an even great CT proportion
 Moreover, it is pointed out that the decision, if it stands the test of the supreme court, is retroactive to the extent it applies To importations into | the United States since the approval | of the Underwood Simmons law more than two years ago, including goods in bond, and subsequently withdrawn without payment of this rebate.

SITUATION |S MADE TENSE
 BY LATEST
 ACCIDENT
United States Officials Will Not Commit Themselves as to What They Will do About Nebraskan Incident.
SHIP POSSIBLY HIT
 BY FLOATING MINE
Report of Ships Captain ln- fers That There is Question as 10 Whether Ship Was Torpedoed or Not.

WASHINGTON. May 26 - The course of the United States govern ment. in the case of the American steamer Ncbraskan, damaged off the coast of Ireland, is undetermined toe night because the officials are with out definite information as to whether the ship was torpedoeu or struck mine Messages from Ambassador Page and Consul General skinner, at London, transmitted a report of the British admiralty that the vessel was torpedoed but the officials note with much interest the captains report 10 his owners indicating a doubt as to whether the boat was hit by a torpedo or struck a mine. Should it develop, clearly that she was torpedoed with out warning an aggregating circum- stance will have been added to an already tense situation, uoJwithstaud- ing the fact that no lives were lost.
 The President himself read all the official and unofficial dispatches In view of the positive position the United States has taken on the sub iect of submarine activities in tho war zone. and the delicate situation with Germany arising out or the Lusitanit disaster. the story of the Nebraskau's experience is awaited with unusual interest.
 Officials here are retcent to dis cuss the ease pending full reports. Councillor Lansing of the State De- pertinent revealed, however. that as- surances some time ago had been re- ceived from Great Britain to the et- feet that such mines as had been laid by the British admiralty were of nature which become innocuous if de- tached from their anchoraees.
 No other government Landing said had giyeu such assurances. The fact that the Nebraskan was under charter to a British concern partly American owned. prior to sailing on the return voyage, it is said by officials, does not effect her status. She carried no contraband and was engaged in no hostile service, being bound far Hamp- ton Roads to take on coal for the United State navy to be carried as freight to San Francisco.

 The Italians who crossed the iron tier toward the Isonzo River have not yet met serious opposition. In fact no important battle is expected until the invaders reach the river as here the Austrians are established
 Except for the German admission that the British captured a part of their trenches To the northeast of Giyenchy the reports of belligerent headquarters continue to contradict each other one side claiming gains while the other says all the attacks werc repulsed with heavy losses.
