Central Powers Have Not Tried
to Use Force i'm Athens.
Germans Satisfied So Long as
Neutrality Is Maintained.
BALKAN SITUATION is EASY
SalOniki Not Likely to Become
Base for Allies.
Teuton Siege Guns Would Re-
peat Antwerp Devastation.

| Vienna, Dec. lott is authorita-
lively stated here that the central
powers have brought no pressure
whatever to bear on Greece. The view
| is held that the position of Greece is
difficult in the highest degree, and that
the Greek government is endeavoring
to preserve not only neutrality but
complete independence. The position
is taken here then, that pressure upon
Greece is hardly called for and would
even be useless so long as the Athens
government is able to assert its own
interests.
The interest of the central powers.
it is said, is merely that Greece shall
remain neutral Considering the con-
d1tion of the country and that the
Greek government itself sees that it
is for the welfare of the Hellenic peo-
pie to remain neutral, the central
powers, it is asserted, have no oc-
casion to bring pressure to bear in
Athens.
Allies to Saloniki.
1t is held by officials that inasmuch
as Greece gave her consent for the
entente powers to send troops across
Greek territory and to take other mil
itary steps, this created right for the
Teutonic and Bulgarian troops to do
the same.
Military experts here express the be-
lief that the entente powers hardly
will try to make good their reported
threat to create Gibraltar out of Sa-
loniki. the geographical and political
situation of that place being regarded
rs untitled for defensive purposes.
However, if the entente allies should
try in this manner to create a base,
it is declared, the artillery that re-
duced. Antwerp would have something
to say.
The entente allies would err. it is
declared, in assuming that any under
taking in the Balkans would be too
great for the central powers. The in
terests of Greece would in any case be
respected, it is said. but the entente
troops on Greek territory would be at
tackled energetically, which course. ii
is maintained, nobody could condemn. |
The ILLUMINATION of the arena of war |
would then be Greece's affair and |
would depend upon the movements of |
the entente troops.
Central Powers Easy.
The utmost confidence is expressed |
IN authoritative quarters here concern
ing the Balkan situation since the cen
trail powers, it is claimed, are able to
whatever forces the entente
allies land at Saloniki, or elsewhere,
with forces greatly superior in num-
oerS.
The lines of communication for the
central allies and the BuIgarians al
'eady are in good condition, which is
hardly the case with the entente
lilies.

Bellingham will deliver a sermon on
Sunday evening January "a. in Haw
ley's Hall at 1870 p. m. under the
auspices of the local Unitarian So
ciety. All are cordially invited. His
topic will be Suicide" taken from
the text. "And he went away and
hanged himself" Luke 27-5. This
will be considered in relation to the
commandments shalt not
kill" Questions considered among
others, will be- Is suicide ever
justifiable? If so, does it cease to
be suicide? Is every suicide a
coward? On what ground shall the
"Thou shalt not kill" be received
from the standpoint of dogma or the
individual? Does the answer differ
for the materialist and the believer
in immortality? Is not suicide alb
normal and the act in itself an
evidence of insanity? What shall
the minister say of the suicide? Is
suicide upon the increase?.

HAWAII GETS ONLY
$4,000 IN RIVERS
AND HARB0RS BILL?

According to an Associated Press
despatch from Washington, the rivers
and harbors bill, carrying an appro-
priation of $34,000,0O0, passed the
house yesterday by vote of 164 to
81.
Hawaii, 1t is believed, figures in the
bin only to the extent of $4,000, for
maintenance Of Kahului harbor and
breakwater. The army engineers here
asked for 100000, for extensive dredg-
ing in Honolulu harbor, but this item
was turned down, and was not even
included In the bill, the present po-
Icy being to inaugurate as little new
work as possible.
There is available for Honolulu har-
Dor Improvement, however, $4,000,
from lump sum of $40 900, 900 turned
over to the chief of engineers some
months ago. To this is added about
$15, 900 on hand. making total OF
about SOS 700 for the projected work
on the east side Of the harbor. Bids
for this work have already been ask
ed for. and specifications sent out

Wall reiterated his lack of faith in
the meter system 10 vogue In Homo
,juIus and again declared himself in
favor Of the fiat rate system,
when meters were first installed
by the Honolulu water works under
the management of the superintend-
emit Of public works no minimum rate
was established, which was a mis-
take" he says The minimum fiat
rate is S. q year The meter should
have had a minimum rate correspond
ing to the fiat rate, Sc. AN ordinance
should be passed rectifying this err
ror.
My experience in the past six
months has proved conclusively that
q fiat rate is more satisfactory both
for the consumer and the water works
department, until a meter is secured
that will not wear out in six months
or year, then l should say put me-
tiers In. The water works department
has issued 7400 privileges; to meter
the entire system would cost approx
imately 100000. then add $500 for me-
tiers for stock use to be installed while
repairs are being made on the ones
that go bad. The argument is used
that meters are not being maintained
orNcared for.
Meter Cost Heavy.
There was an appropriation of $685.
