MiIliner Was a SmuqqIer.

Miss France Clyne, a smartly clad,
good looking young woman, arraigned
and held in $1,000 bail for smuggling,
this week, turns out to be a new sort
of lawbreaker, a New York CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Times
writes:
On her examination before the Unit
ed States commissioner she said: 81
hadn't the slightest desire to avoid the
payment of duty on the goods I
brought with me from Europe. It was
absolutely necessary, however, that
should, if possible, prevent the agents
of my concerns competitors from see
ing the best novelties had picked up.
1 knew that dozen experts would be
sent to the pier to get precise descrip-
tons Of all the novelties I brought in
Therefore, l concealed five hats and a
set of gray fox furs. You can see, If
you examine them, that the things 1
concealed are of no great value, but
of the most novel and unusual design"
The customs inspectors who have
been handling the case say that Miss
Clyne has undoubtedly told the SIM
pie truth about the matter. They say
that millinery experts have followed
the same custom very generally, and
always without any idea of pecuniary
gain.

Cupid on Trial,

Two souls with but a single thought,
two hearts that beat in concert, were
united in the more or less holy bonds
of matrimony, according to the point
of view, says the New York Times.
The minister who performed the cere-
mony is pastor of the Church of the
Social Revolution, and the couple were
Of his flock. Not for the contracting
parties nor for the minister the con-
ventional ritual of church and state;
not for them the old-fashioned notion
that marriage is a step that must be
taken with with no thought of turning
backward. The pair made responses
to formula provided by the pastor
of the Social Revolution and frankly
declare they will consider their union
binding only so long as they love
each other" Divorces are sometimes
justifable, but it is not believed that
this aspiring couple or their pastor
have improved upon the liberal and
usually wholesome laws of majority
of the states.

PREMIER ASQUITH IN
WARNING TO BRITAIN
Tells House of Commons Country
Faces Financial Difficulties, and
Turk Campaign Is Failure.

London, Nov. 4-Appearing in the
house Of commons for the first time
since his Illness, Premier Asquith
| made his long expected address on
he war before throng that damned
all the galleries. He defended the
allies conduct of the war and an
nounced that Sir Frederick Edward
Smith, solicitor general, had been ap-
pointed attorney general to succeed
Sir Edward Carson, who also made a
speech.
Sir Edward denounced the British
method of conducting the war and
blamed Sir Ian Hamilton for the fail.
ure of the Dardanelles campaign.
Premier Asquith gave the house
much light on Britain's war policy.
He declared:
That King Georges injuries were
not serious
That the financial situation of Great
Britain was serious and the nation
must be prepared to make far greater
sacrifices than it had yet experienced.
That there was full agreement be-
tween Great Britain and France to
maintain the independence of Serbia
and not let her become the prey of
the sinister and nefarious combina-
ton of Germany, Austria and Bull
garia."
That he was as confident as ever
the allies were going to carry their
righteous cause to a triumphant
issue; and he was not going to shift
the burden from his shoulders until
satisfied he was unable to bear it.
That Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander of the British forces on
the Franco-Belgian front, was now in
command of nearly 100000 men.
That the total casualties in France
and Flanders amounted to $4,000.
That he accepted his full share of
responsibility for the first attack on
the Dardanelles, which resulted in fail
ure. with the loss of several capital
ships.
That Venizelos when premier Of
Greece asked France and Great Brit
ain, September 81, for 10000 men to
aid Serbia with the express under
standing that Greece would mobilize.
But the Greek king repudiated the
pact
That he himself was determined the
allies should win the war, and sooner
than not win it l would not hesitate to
propose some form of compulsory en-
listment"

Former Premier Venizelos Is Reported
to Be Forming New Government
king Constantine Awaits
Roumania's Action.

London, Nov. 6.-Greece's attitude
toward the world war apparently is
about to undergo a change. By vote
Of lat to ia the Greek parliament on
Thursday rejected a vote Of confidence
in the government and the cabinet IN
der Premier Alexander Zaimis, who
Immediately resigned.
Observers of Balkan diplomatic con-
ditions here assert that King Constan-
tine undoubtedly has asked former
Premier Eleutherios VenizeIos to
form a new cabinet.
A dispatch from Saloniki declares
that King Constantine has assured
the French minister at Athens that,
should Roumania join the entente
allies or should the situation of Ser
bia be appreciably ameliorated by an
Anglo-French offensive movement,
Greece will not be unprepared to
change her present attitude.
Athens newspapers opposed to Ven
izelos believe dissolution of parlia-
ment surely will follow.
A discussion of proposed military
laws raised a question between the
ministers Of war, General Yanakitsas,
and the majority party of former Pre-
mier Venizelos. On this issue Premier
Zaimis decided to ask vote of conf
dence.
The discussion then turned to the
foreign policy of the government. M.
Venizelos declared it was impossible
for his party longer to sustain the
government, whose policy he consid-
cred harmful to the interests of the
country.
If Greece should decide to enter the
war the nation is in a position to put
100000 excSllently equipped troops
into the field. The army is already al
most completely modified

ASKS FOR ARMY OF 141,843
Secretary of War Also Says That Ma
ton Needs Citizen Force of AGO.
ooo-Seeks Aid of En-
ployers.

Washington, Nov. 8.-Here are the
essential features Of the administra-
tons military program as set forth
IN statement issued on Friday by
Secretary of War Garrison:
Creation of a regular army Of 141,-
843 officers and men to cost s127, 234,-
555 annually.
Improvement Of the National Guard,
consisting of $4,000 officers and men,
TO cost $10,OO0,OO0 annually.
Formation of citizen army of 400
600 men, to cost $45,OOO,0O0 annually.
This is to be called the Continental
army"
Acquisition Of reserve material, in
Guiding ordnance and other supplies,
to cost $104, 326,261, and purchased
within four years, by an annual ex-
penditure of $26,081,320.
Development of seacoast fortifica-
tons to cost $81, 677, 900, the annual
expenditure being $2O,OOO,OO0 year
for four years.
Finally, the organization of all the
resources of the nation in trained
civilians, including engineers, bridge
builders, railroad men, etc, to aid the
army in time of war.
The military policy proposed by Mr..
Garrison calls for a total appropria-
ton of s1,034 $685. 34.88 by congress
during the next five years under the
heading of the army. 1t will make a
total of over 32,0O0,OOO,000 called for
by the national defense plans for
the next five years for both army
and navy.
If congress adopts the administra-
tons program the following new or
CARNATIONS will be added to the
army:
Ten regiments of infantry.
-Four regiments of field artillery.
Fifty-two companies of coast artiI-
lery.
Fifteen companies of engineers.
Four aero sQuadrons
Mr. Garrison declares that the pol
icy determined upon is one which rec
Ognizes existing constitutional and le-
gal provisions, existing institutions
and the sentiments Of the people in so
far as they concern the vital portions
Of the system.
1t has been proposed" Mr.. Garri-
sons statement says, ito make avail
able in time of need the services of
those in certain kinds of employment
requiring special knowledge and skill,
such as railroad men, bridge builders,
engineers of all descriptions, ETC., and
leading men in these lines and pro-
fessions have been collaborating with
the war department in an endeavor
to formulate, by legislative or admin
istrative action, an acceptable and
useful plan with respect thereto.
In this connection and because of
the patriotic spirit thus displayed, it
seems desirable to say that if those
who are the employers of the young
men of the country cannot by reason
of age or situation in life give their
personal service, they can do that
which will be equally useful by en-
couraging in every way the participa-
ton of those in their employ in the
plan of national defense"
