BRITISH REPORTED AT MONASTIR
AND GERMANS AT CONSTANTINOPlE

London - Press dispatches from
Bucharest, by way Of Geneva and
Paris, say that British forces have ar
rived at the Serbian city Of Monastir
and are being reinforced.
A telegram from Constantinople, by
way Of Bucharest, says the first con-
tingent Of German troops has reached
that city and that Field Marshal Won
Mackensen is expected there next
week.
The entente allies have demanded
that Greece either join with them and
fulfill her treaty obligations to Serbia,
or demobilize, and, to impress King
Constantine that they mean what they
say, the allies have declared com
mercial blockade of the Hellenic en-
pire, according to dispatches from
Athens.
There is confirmation Of these state
ments available here, and it is certain
that Lord Kitchener, the British War
secretary, who had an hours audinece
with the King of Greece Monday and
afterward saw Premier Skouloudis
took a firm stand and told them what
the allies could and would do unless
their demands were conceded.
The Greek cabinet met to consider
the situation and few hours should

Flax Crop Failure Is Denied
By State Board Of Control

Salem Members of the State Board
Of Control assert that an article in q
daily paper last week saying that the
fiaxraising work being conducted BY
the state promised to be failure and
that they were dissatisfied with j. G..
Cadt, lin charge of the fax plant at
the penitentiary, was untrue.
Both Governor Withycombe and
State Treasurer Kay declared that the
work so far had been satisfactory, and
Secretary Of State Olcott said that
with the experiment uncompleted it
was too early to predict the outcome.
All three members of the board said
they had not considered asking Cady to
appear before them for an explanation
of his conduct Of the flax work.
: Indications now seem to point to a
success Of the flaxraising industry, I"
said Governor Withycombe. "Where
we had only figured on obtaining 500
tons Of straw, we have harvested 600
tons. We have threshed out nearly
5000 bushels of seed and should realize
$4,000 from this source alone. Whether
it is best to ret the flax in the winter
or wait until spring is q question yet
to be determined"
State Treasurer Kay pronounced the
daily's story as absolutely without
foundation.
1T may be that the flax can be
retted best in the spring." said Kay,
$50 as to permit the scotching process
without the employment Of artificial
heat. That is to be determined.

Lumber Shipping Rate Hearing
Causes Sectional Testimony Duel

Portland Lumber business in Port
land is good, say the Willamette val
ley millmen.
Lumber business in the Willamette
valley is good, say the Portland mill
men.
Two conflicting lines of testimony
developed at the hearing before Ex-
aminer Butler, of the Interstate Com
merce commission, when the complaint
of the Portland mills against the
Southern Pacific for maintaining a
differential of A cents in favor of the
valley mills on California business was
heard.
Each side was willing to admit that
busines in the other fellows territory
is good, while each as readily conceded
that business at home is decidedly bad.
The Portland 6llls contend that
their market has oeen restricted in
various ways in the last four or five
years; that the new California rates
have restricted it still further, and
that their production and earnings
have diminished in direct proportion
with their losses of markets.
AT the same time, the Portland wit
nesses were ready to point out that
many new mills have been built in the
Willamette valley within the last de-
cade, that the capacity of existing
