Greece Is Now Expected to
Grant All Demands of
Entente.

ATHENS. Dec. 6.-The 105th Ger
man division has been rushed to
Rustehuk, presumably to meet Ru-
manian concentration near that point
and to repel an expected movement
of Russian troops. Greek military
authorities received word today that
Germany is sending heavy artillery
to the Rumanian border from the
western front.
The Rumanian order commander
ing all foreign shipping in Rumanian
ports in the interests of the national
defense, was scheduled to go into
effect today. It was expected to give
rise to trouble at once along the
Danube if Rumanian authorities seize
Austro- Hungarian or Bulgarian cargo
boats carrying munitions.
Well Informed circles here did not
consider the Rumanian move as suf-
ficient evidence that Rumania is to
enter the war with the allies, but adj
mitted the Bucharest attitude was
most puzzling.
King Constantine. it was reliably
reported today, is about to assure tsie
allies that their demands will be met
in fun. Greece may not openly state
her position to tho world, but the as
surances will be of such definite ma
ture as to remove all doubt in Lon
don and Paris.
Since Serbian troops retreated into
Greek territory last week after the
fall of Monastir, no word of their
movements has reached Athens in
press dispatches. It is declared posi-
lively, however, that the Serbs have
been allowed to retain their arms and
are making their way along the FROM
tier to join the Anglo French forces.
Only minor clashes with the Teu-
tonic advance guards are now mark
ing the Serbian retirement into Alba
MIA. The most severe lighting IN the
Balkans is going on south of Plevlje.
In this region the fierce resistance Of
the Montepegrins is reported to have
checked the Austrian invasion.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa-Gen. r. Cole
man Du Pont. president Of the Du
Pcnt Powder Company, has announced
throughout the length of Delaware
100 miles-and present it to the state,
if the United States supreme court
pronounces constitutional the law
passed by the legislature of this state,
giving him the necessary authority
says the Ledger. The road, as planned,
will cost $3,00O,00O.
Some time ago when he began the
construction of the highway the work
was stopped by litigation. Jehu Glen
daniel, a farmer of Sussex county,
sought to prevent the condemnation
of his lands by the Boulevard Corpor-
alton, organized by Mr.. Du Pont.
The decision in the Delaware courts
was against Clendaniel. He then APP
pealed to the United States supreme
court. Before the case could be
reached by the upper tribunal how
ever, the director died, and his hrs
declined to be parties to the suit ] he

Mr.. Du Pont says he does not want
ito resume work with a possibility of
being stopped again. II is probable,
therefore, that another action, similar
to the Clendaniel suit. will be instl-
tuted for the purpose OF getting def
mite decision.
AS this cannot be secured for year
or more, the construction Of the b glle-
ward will wait unless some new plan
shall be decided upon. Mr.. Du Pont
says his reason for wanting to build
the boulevard is to establish Inonu-

own state for the second year in sue
cession and also won several minor
honors. .<4s..1s. s4.-.s.s. -
Second position goes to Charles Ev.

captured a national title, though he
has won the Western amateur on
three, occasions, one of them this
year. Once he was national runner
up. But the performance that came
within single stroke of giving him
a rank even above Ouimet last year
was finishing second in the national
open at Midlothian last August. Had
he beaten Walter Hagen most of the
critics would have placed him first.
Travers is rated third: this year.
Through his trip abroad along with
Evans and Ouimet, Trayers had to
