MAY FORCE HAND
OF GREECE'S king
He Has Won Twice But 1t Is

written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 4.-If the Greek
cabinet crisis probably means that for
mer Premier Venizelos has decided to
try to control again the government
and to plunge Greece into the war, the
allies may, as matter of fact plan
a coup 'etat and rally the Greek peo-
pie against the kings policy of neutral
ity.
If the boldness of such move sue.
ceeds it would have a lightning effect
on the situation and mean Great Bri.
tain's recovery Of prestige in the
Balkans, lost through diplomatic fail
ures.
1t has been reported that Germany is
exerting pressure on King Constantine
to order rehabilitation. Once issued,
such an order would mean that Grecian
participation in the conflict would be-
come too remote for practical considera.
ton.
Probably the allies decided on a
quick test of strength between Veni.
zelos and the king, if necessary. If
this is true their time is well chosen.
The landing Of the allies at Salonika
stirred Greek sympathizers for the al
lies. Moreover, the difficulties Of the
Germans in moving on Nish, and the
lack of brilliant Bulgarian victories
must suggest to the Greeks the prob.
ability of victory for their army if they
enter with the allies.
Nevertheless ii is not certain that
the king and his policy can be beaten.
In two previous conflicts of opinion
over neutrality, he won. And, the
strongest weapon the king has is the
argument that Venizelos is inspired by
foreigners. Such an appeal may have
its effect, But, if it fails to stir resent.
ment against him, Greece may yet at.
tack the Bulgarians; if not indeed the
Austro-Germans.

SEAMEN'S LAW IS
SUSPENDED FOR
A SHORT PERIOD
This Was Done To Give the
Examiners Time In Which
To Do Their Work
And PREVENT WORKING
HARDSHIP ON OWNERS
Sailors Hail Law As the Only
One Recognizing Them As
Human Beings

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-Owners and
masters of twenty vessels due to sail
from this FORT today or tomorrow and
shipping circles generally were relieved
today when they were informed That
the LaFollette seamen s act, which was
due to become effective today, had
been suspended by Acting Secrtary of
Commerce a. l.. Thurman in Washing
ton.
Collectors of customs in all parts of
the country were notified to give clear
ance to all vessels where it was shown
that the owners had made real effort
to comply with the law.
1t was contended today by shipping
men that the department of commerce
was entirely responsible for the inabil-
ity Of enough soamen qualifying under
the provisions of the new law to permit
all vessels sailing on schedule. 1t was
declared the seamen have been prepared
to take the examinations for months
but the department made no effort to
give the examinations until the last few
days.

Still Talk Peace.

Rome, Nov 4.--Peace talk is still in
the air, despite denials from bellig'
erent capitals.
Germany is generally credited with
starting the reports, but the Mattino to-
day asserted that the allied represen'
tatives will meet Prince Won Buelow at
Lucerne, Switzerland, to discuss peace
terms in preliminary manner. Diploma
tic circles, however, did not credit the
story.
Monsignor Marchetti, the pope's rep
resentative in Switzerland, is reported
to be convassing peace with Won Bue
low, and the InfOrmazione stated that
a certain cardinal is en- route to Swit2
erland with n letter from the pope tC
Won Buelow, presumably on the peace
subject.
Count Ehrensvard, the Swedish minis
ter at Bernc, one Of the most prominent
neutrals, is reported promoting the
the peace movement, but other neu
tral diplomats are said to be ready tC
act.

Bulgars Repulsed.

Paris, Nov. A. Repuse of Bulgar
forces in the Nisava valley was claimed
by the Nish official statement, dated
Sunday, received today. The announce

wing where fighting is still in pro
gress.

Greek Cabinet Resigns.

Athens. Nov. 4.-Following the Greek
parliament's 3 vote of lack OF confidence
in the cabinet today, the latter body
Immediately resigned.
The question OF vote of confidence
was raised Wednesday in connection
with the debate over military proposals
Former Premier Venizelos suggested the
vote. Cast today, it resulted l47 against
and ia for the ministry with three
members not voting. =,
1t was known from the moment OF
Zaimis appointment as Nenlzelos sue
cessor that Venizelos could overthrow
him as soon as the legislative body and
the nation grew sufficiently dissatisfied
with the Zaimis policies. .,
Zaimis is not "peace at any prlce
man, but he takes the view that Greece
should not enter the war at present he
also denies that the Serbian treaty re,
ouires Greece to come to Serbia g aid
against the Bulgars under existing con-
ditions. 9,
An opposite Interpretation is placed
on the treaty by the Serbs and the al
lies.
The specific act on which King Con
stontine is said to have sought Venize'
los resignation was the permission
Venizelos was understood to have given
the allies to land at Greek ports and to
cross Greek territory to Serbia,
The incident which caused the crisis
was n controversy between u proven
izelos deputy and Zaimis war minister;
Venizelos interposed with the proposal
Of test of strength.
The overthrow of the Zaimis cabinet,
after less than a month IS service, was
interpreted by many as meaning that
Greece will definitely throw her lot
with the allies in the Balkan struggle.

Russians Keen Fighting.

Vienna, Nov 4.-Seeking apparently
to influence the decision of their Ru-

Russians are reinforcing their Strypa

claimed officially today--the break
down of Slav attack north of Buc2acz,

Austrian standpoint, the combined Aus

LaFollette Defends Law.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 4.--Senator La.

freeing sailors from "legaljzed slav.

"lt will improve conditions under
which they are compelled to work" " he
commented, "ana will raise their effic.

sailors Favor Law.

Washington, Nov. 4.--SolicitOr Thur
man of the commerce department today
wired all collectors of ports not to
hold up vessels unable to comply with
the terms of the LaE'ollette seamen g
act, if it showed a real effort to com.
ply Herewith.
Seamen hailed the new law as the
only one recognizing them as human
beings, while ship owners contended
that instead of bettering conditions it
will drive American ships from the
seas.
The act went into effect today as far
as America ships are concerned, with
the exception contained in Thurman 3
ruling, but foreign nations have four
months in which to revise their customs
to meet the demands of the law.
Under its terms, vessels must have
higher standard Of life saving up.
'paratus than heretofore, and their
crews must contain 40 per cent of able
bodied seamen.
Recently, San Francisco reported
that only a small number Of physical
examinations had been completed
New York on the other hand said q
large number had passed. There has
been some complaint that the tests are
too severe and hence bar many good
seamen.
A large delegation of shipping men
representing the chamber of commerce
met today to make final protest
against what they declare are gross in
consistencies in the LaFollette bill.
AT the protest meeting the question
Of whether seamen are qualified as life
boatmen, even if they have certifi
cate, was particularly discussed.
According to Thurman, week OF
two will see rigid enforcement Of all
provisions. The order is intended to
prevent hardships which might be in
Cured should the act be followed

that Chairman McCombs Of the demo
cratic national committee did not know
