GREEK ELECTION LEAVES COUNTRY MUCH CONFUSED

Berlin, Dec. 27.-M. Gounaris, whose party won the recent general election in Greece, has renounced his claims to the premiership, the Overseas ASews Agency says. An Athens despatch re- ceived by the news agency states that M. Gounaris made a report to King Constantine on the result of the elec- ton and added that, as the leader Of the new majority party, he was will ling to support the ministry of Pre-
 mier SkouIoudis, Owing to political
 conditions in Greece, he believed a
 unnecessarily but unWise. It is said tho ] King agreed with his suggestion.s
 Paris, Dec 27.-The Athens corre-
 spondent of the Matin sends the fol- 1 lowing:
 Having interviewed M. venizelos on the subject of the elections and ob- I tained from him an affirmation that his triumph was demonstrated by the
 small number of votes polled, I called
 upon NF Gounaris, who denied there
 was any considerable number of ab-
 the 800, 900 soldiers. mobilized had been able to vote the result would have been the same. I then sought to ask about the foreign policy of Greece but M. Gaunaris interrupted me, saying: ." Greece's policy is unchanged. Greece is @ small state which does not 1 want to Ibe dragged into the war | which might involve a catastrophe like
 those which have befallen Belgium
 and Servia- We are Greeks and noth- ing else. I am neither a German ophile nor a Francophi1e but just a Greek. Germanophiles do not exist in Greece.
 "tA11 Greece, even under the pres ent circumstances, remained attached to England, France and Russia, to which she owes her existence and her development But you cannot ask that these sentiments should go so far as to lead us, without absolute neces- sity, into the conflict and we believe nothing now requires us to cease our neutrality. Greece always will feel keenly whatever happens for better or worse to France but we cannot do nore.'
 1T then asked M. Gounaris to ex- plain how, if the Bulgarians are the her2ditary enemies of Greece, the Greek people could agree to the allies army falling back indefinitely before the Bulgars on Greek territory.
 '' Now you are going into the do- main of the future,' he replied, and I cannot enter into that ''

 .'An automobile carried the monarch to d secluded inn opposite Italian Headquarters where I called on him and was shown into the poorly fur nished room he occupied. His clear eyes, what depths of bitterness did they conceal; his features, holl0wed by suffering, what immense weariness did they betray!

An Indian "War" in Utah.

Old Indian fighting times were re-
called when United States Marshal
Nebeker Of Utah, followed by forty
mounted, heavily armed men rode
out of Cortez, Colo, one day last
week bent upon taking an Indian
stronghold in Southeastern Utah.
Strongly intrenched along the San
Juan River, near Bluff City, are
twenty-seven Indians, led by Tse-ne-
Cat, alias Evertt Hatch, and his
father, Old Polk, Piute Indians.
Hatch is wanted in Colorado for the
robbery and murder of Mexican
nearly year ago. When the author
tiles sought to arrest Hatch, Old Polk
interfered and backed up his srgu-
ment with a Winchester. The two
Indians then took to the hills. They
were later joined by about twenty
five other Piutes, all armed. They
have considerable ammunition, have
fortified their position and killed cat
tie and sheep in stocking up with
supplies. A week ago reconnoiter-
ing party returned, reporting they
were unable to approach the Indian
stronghold. Their appearance was
Immediately followed by shots from
the Indian position. 1t is the plan Of
Marshal Nebeker to try to starve out
the Indians.
Denver, Feb. 22.-Advices from
Grayson, Utah, by telephone to Do
lores, Colo, today stated that the
band of fifty-two Piute Indians under
Tse.Ne. Cat, which fought desper-
ate battle yesterday with posse
commanded by United States Mar
shall Aquila Nebeker, had been sur
rounded in Cottonwood gulch, near
Bluff. Leaders of the reinforced
posse expected to renew the attack
unless the Indians surrendered:
From Grayson, Utah, report of
the battle Sunday, in which two In
dams and one white man were killed,
two Indians and white man wound
ed and two Indians captured has been
received from Marshal Nebeker.
