London. Oct. 5.--On the western
battle front the big guns have again
undertaken the task of attempting to
level the German ihtrenchments. pre-
snmably in preparation for continu-
alton of the attacks which proved sue
cessful in Artois and Champagne. In
some sections there has been infan-
try fighting, in which a trench, or q
few yards of trench, has changed
hands. this being particularly the
case in the areas where the Allies
have made their gains and where the
Germans are trying to win back the
lost ground.
The British fleet, too, is almost con
tinuously bombarding the German po
sitions on the coast of Belgium.
The Germans continue to lombard
the rear Of the French lines in Cham
payne, and the French have retaliat-
ed by shelling and blowing up
German troop train north of Verdun.

THE SCHENECTADY STRIKE
Attempt to Make the G. E. Closed
ShoE.


Schenectady, Oct SIN the hope
Of presenting a solid front of the 49,.
900 employees of the General Electric
Company if possible, in demanding
an eight hour day, union leaders, who
yesterday called 5000 organized men
out of the plant, today devoted their
entire attention to organizing 5000
women workers. The other 1000 EN-
ployes are clerks, principally, and
they may be organized later
At several meetings in different
parts of the city much enthusiasm
for organization was displayed today
among the 1900 or more women pres
ent Leaders said tonight there was
no doubt that the women workers,
with the possible exception Of a hun
dred or less, soon would be affiliated
with either the machinists or the elec
trical workers. The women already
have been forced out of the plant by
its suspension in the producing end,
due tos the strike OF the members of
various crafts, the last of whom. the
patteTnmakers, coremakers, and
molders, left today.
Manager Emmons, in statement
today, said that the company beliey-
ed that the present situation had
been largely created by Influences
having no lasting interests in the
welfare of the company or of its en-
ployes or of the community"
In union circles this was accepted
as a criticism Of j. J. Keppler, Vice
President of the International Assoc
iation of Maciinists and other lead
ers from outside of Schenectady who
have aided in bringing about the
strike.
Rumors that other workers, includ-
ing the BARRIERS, street car employees.
and employees of the American Loco
motive Works and the Westinghouse
Company, may Join the strike con
tinue.
No disturbances were reported to
the police today or tonight. A heavy
rain all day kept the streets fairly
clear Even the pickets went home
during the downpour.

Paris, Wednesday, Oct. G.-An
Athens dispatch to the Hayas Agen-
cy says:
premier Venizelos has resigned,
the King having informed him that
he was mabl to support the policy
Of his Ministry
This is the second time within a
few months that Premier Venizelos
has resigned because OF disagree
ment with the King. who is brother
in-law of the German Emperor and
has steadily opposed NJ. Veni2elos' s
policy of cooperation with the Enteh-
to Allies.
Following his former resignation
general elections were held in Greece
and his party was returned to power
by decisive majority VI. Nenizelos
was recalled by the King, with whom
he effected compromise and again
became Premier a
King Constantine has insistel /
throughout the present crisis that
Greeees treaty of alliance with Ser
bia was abrogated by the Serbians
in offering concessions to Bulgaria.
The order to mobilize the forces of
the nation, issued on Sept. 80, vas
signed by the monarch with undls-
guised reluctance after NJ. NeniZelos
had had an all-day conference with
him. During the conference it be-
came rumored in, Athens that the
Cabinet had resigned, and the report
caused intense Indignation among
the crowds which had gathered be-
fore the Foreign ONCE and the news
Taper bulletin boards to await news
OF the latest developments.
Ii is possible that the resignation
of NJ Venizelos is an imitation Of
that of the Italian Premier n few
days before Italy entered the war
last May Signor Salandra was then
confronted by vociferous opposition
led by Signor Giolitti. who declared
that the country did not desire war
and could obtain her desires from
Austria without it, Signor Salandra
resigned, the country instantly show
cd by it's demonstrations that it de-
sired war, Signor Giolitti disappeared
then Signor Salandra came back and
started the war.
Athens, Oct. 5.-After Premier Ven
izelos, in a session which lasted till
4.30 o'clock this morning, had ex-
planned to the Chamber of Deputies
the circumstances connected with
the landing of allied troops at Saloni-
XII, the Chamber passed vote of con
fidence in the Government The vote
was 142 to 1O2, with thirteen mem
bers not voting.
The Opposition leaders attacked
the Premier bitterly. They accused
him of unnecessarily leading the
country into the war on the side of
the Allies.
Premier Venizelos accused the Op-
position press of selling its honor to
the German propagandists."

The order issued by his majesty
the Emperor to the commanders OF
the German submarines of which

question.
According to the report of Com

Wit, as well as those of his men,
Commander Schneider was convinc-

the submarine.
ON the other hand the imperial

Under these circumstances my

ate with you about the amount of
this indemnity.

on Sunday. as was first announced
SO far as was known in London, no
answer has been received and none
is expected.
The Crown Council of Bulgaria, ac-
cording to a Geneva dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company, spent
several hours in discussing the Rus
sian uItimatum without arriving at a
decision.
The same authority declares that
General Savoii, former Minister of
War and former Commander in Chief
OF the Bulgarian army, in concluding
a thrilling speech, said: Every Bul-

commits an act of treason toward his
country"

Paris, Oct. 5-France notified
Greece on the arrival of the first de-

that they were going to help Serbia.
Premier Venizelos replied, protesting
against the passage of foreign troops
through Greek territory, on the
ground that it violated Greek neutral
ity.
The allied governments made prep
arations and gave necessary orders
for the landing of the troops several
days ago Previously they had en-
tered into negotiations with the
Greek government, which still being
neutral, made formal protest, as ii
was obliged to do. At the same time
every freedom was given to the
French officers to prepare for the
landing.
