Hague Tribunal.

Washington, Sept 24-Germany's
latest note on the sinking last fall Of
the American sailing ship William P
Frye, published today by the State De-
partment, discloses an important dip
lomatic victory for the United States.
Germany accepts the proposal to fix
damages by commission and let The
Hague pass upon disputed treaty rights
involved She also gives assurances
that no more American ships carrying
conditional contraband will be de-
stroyed under any circumstances.
American ships carrying contraband,
however, still may be destroyed What
effect that can have in practical OPP
Grafton is. problematical, because Ger
many and Great Britain, in their re-

visit and search with respect to all
American ships to determine what

ANOTHER BLOW FOR LIQUOR
A Movement Among Bankers of State
to Refuse Collection of Drafts
for Intoxicants.

Almost the last prop upon which the
brewers and distilIers and the whole
sale liquor houses have been building
their business In Kansas is about to be
swept away. The Kansas banks are
turning against them. w. w. Bowman,
secretary of the Kansas Bankers Asso-
citation, comprising almost every state
and national bank in the state has sent
out notice to all Of the members of
the association that the collection of
sight drafts for liquor shipments
should be abolished by the Kansas
banks, not because the collection bust
ness is illegal, but from moral or
public policy viewpoint.
For many years the custom of hand
ling the liquor business in Kansas was
for liquor dealer to ship a carload of
his goods to some Kansas town, make
out bills Of lading and sight drafts for
each case and forward these to the
banks. There were no names, but any
one who was in need of liquor could
go to the banks and ask if there was
draft with bill of 1ading attached for
John Jones. The banks were instruct
ed to turn the bills of lading over to
anyone who offered payment for the
draft
The banks stopped this practice
some years ago and refused to accept
these drafts and bills of 1ading made
out for anyone to fill out. Now they
are threatening to refuse all liquor bus
mess entirely. IN fact the secretary
of the state association is urging them
absolutely to decline collection of all
liquor drafts. A small number of Kan
| sas banks now refuse to accept these
| drafts, but most of the banks take
whatever business comes their way.

GREECE DECLARES
FOR MARTIAL LAW
Government PrOmuIgates De-
cree Taking Over Railways
for Military Use.
MOBILIZATION is UNDER WAY
Twenty Classes of Soldiers Called to
the CoIors-Russians Retake Lutsk
with 1000 Prisoners.

London, Sept 25.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Athens says:
"A decree has been promulgated
convoking the chamber of deputies
Wednesday to pass an act of martial
law and to put at the disposal Of the
government all the state railways.
The transportation of merchandise
has been forbidden.
Without distinction of parties the
press unanimously approves the meas
ures taken by the government in de-
Tense of Greece.
All Greek steamers have been re-
Questioned A moratorium will be es-
tablished Immediately
Has "Patched" with Turkey.
What plans Bulgaria really has in
mind and what Greece and Rumania
will do when these plans mature are
still matters of speculation. One thing
seems clear, however, Bulgaria and
Turkey, for so many years sworn enc
mics, have composed their differences.
The success which the Russian gen
era1, Ivanoff, has been having in Cali
cia and Volhynia, it is considered in
military circles here, may still have
an influence in more than one way in
the Balkans. General Ivanoff has been
so successful that the German field
marshal, Won Mackensen, who is fight
ing north of the Pripet marshes, east
ward of Brest-Litovsk, has, according
to the German official report, been
compelled to withdraw his line some
what, as it was in danger of being
encircled, while the Austrians have
been driven back across the Styr and,
according to one account, have evacu-
ated the fortress of Lutsk, in the Vol
hynian triangle of fortresses, which
they captured in the great drive
Russian Successes.
These successes, which extend to the
Rumanian frontier, would, in the
opinion of military observers, serve
to ease the situation on the Rumanian
flank should Rumania join Russia and,
in addition, might well prevent the
Austro-Germans from sending an
army, which, it is estimated, must con-
sist of at least a half million men, to
make an attack on Servia.
SiaVs Took Lutsk and 1000
London, Sept 25.-'The battle
north of Lutsk was a great success
for the Russians. We took four thou
sand prisoners and recaptured the
town of Lutsk," the Petrograd CORE
spondent of the Reuter- Telegram Com
