GREECE TO UPH HOLD. PACT WITH SERBS. CABINET ASSERT IS
Formal Statement Says That Articles Of Agreement Will
 be Lived up to.

Athens. Oct. 7.-The following statement was made to the Associated Press correspondent at Athens fbys M. Vehicles before his resignation as premier and was filed at the Greek capital a short time before the un- expected change in the situation took place.
 I.sOn thing is absolutely certain said M. Venizelos. Greece will abide 13yfthe terms of her alIiancefwith Ser bia not only in letter but in spirit to the last man andN the last drachma- More, the Greeko-S Serbian treaty fore saw only the possibility, of a Balkan war. When ifS was made none could predict the present European, conflict with all its widespread complications. But the spirit of alliance was one of mutual defense and because the dan gers threatening our ally increased with unforeseen conditions there is no excuse for hiding behind the verbiage of the treaty to escape the responsi- bi1ity for our pledge.
 Though the available forces of the central empires be added to those of Bulgaria in an attempt to- crush Ser bfa, Greece will unflinching1y remain true to her passed word. The honor of Greece is at4 stake You may be certain it will not be betrayed.
 F 'sNor indeed. has there ever been at bottom the slightest wavering among the Greek people respecting their entering war for the defense of their ally under the terms of the al- 1iance although every effort has been made to becloud the issue The spec tacle of part of her, press subser- vient to foreign influences has sham ed and humiliated Greece. A people so eager to read-so, much so that every bootb1ack, while he shines your shoes is ading a book or paper-has been temporarily confused by a venal propaganda But the feeling of loy- alty to our national obligations never for a moment has been really affect ted. What Greece has said she will do she will do. She is ready to fight and if Serbia needs her she will fight.
 Prospecting the landing of the French troops at Sa1onil1a there is but one thing to be said:
 eve have protested, of course. for we have wished to remain neutral in this European struggle and we wish it, now, if we were consistent with our rights and duties. But the Greek people cannot war on France and wouldn't if they could. What France has done for Greece no Greek can for get Comes now word from France, asking if Greece, declaring categori- ca1ly her sole intention to be to sup port Greece's ally in the case of a need

Y. M. c. IA. WILL AFFORD PRACTICE IN SPANISH
 FOR THOSE WHO READ TT

A club for men interested in Span ish is the latest development in the educational program at the Y. M. c. A An invitation is extended to every man in the city interested in getting practice in speaking the Spanish language to attend the opening of the club at 8 o'clock tonight.
 An increasing interest is shown in this country. It Is hoped that this club will obviate some of the difn4 culties experienced by students of ev- cry language. A man may get a good reading Knowledge of a new language by a study of grammar and 1exieons, but he never learns tosspeak it that way.
 Besides the students, both elemen- tary and advanced who will be found in the club, a number of men whose native tongue is Spanish are expected to attend the weekly Thursday night meetings. Among this number is Senor Francisco Romero, who is to have charge of the classes, both for advanced students and beginners at the Y M. c. A. Senor Romero is a native of Spain, and received his edu- cational training both in the scho ools of that country and America. Having been i'm the United States for about Il years, he speaks English f1uently
 The classes will meet, Monday and Friday nights, allowing an opportun- ity for the class members to get some laboratory experience, so to speak. in the club between the class sessions.

FIRST MRS. VIII SON
 ACTIVE IN CIVIC WORK

President Wilson's first wife died August 6, last year, as the result of chronic kidney trouble, brought on by 3 nervous breakdown due to over work. Besides fulfilling her social obligations she was actively interested in philathropic work and in the i'm provement of education facilities in the southern mountain districts
 As mistress of the White House, she entertained but little in a, formal way She gave a series Of garden parties, out her poor health forced her to abandon them not long before her death.
 She encouraged the work of the Woman's Dejartment of the National Civic Federation, and the Associated Charities. Through her Influence the ill-famed Willow Tree Alley of Wash lngton was abolished.
 She was an artist of considerable ability and many of her paintings have been on public exhibition. lit was while she was a student at the Art Students League in this city that the young woodrow Wilson persuad- ed her to become his wife. MT Will son was then pursuing a rather un certain career as a, lawyer in Atlanta.
 They were married on June 24 1885. She was Miss File Louise Ak son, member of a distinguished fam fly Of Rome, Ga. Soon after her mar riage Mrs. Wilson became a member of Bryn Mawr's first faculty Three daughters, Eleanor, Jessie and Mar garet, were born, of their marriage.
 She left two monuments of her brief reign in the White House-the C beautiful Italian gardens, laid out un- der her personal directions, and the redecorated state rooms, with all its historical beauties retained, but many gIaring defects obliterated.

wherein Greece herself would be bound to support her neighbor It is something offered not somef hfna asked Indeed, since I have been pre- niery may say frankly he entents has asked not one concession oi Greece. Therefore, when France eives every guarantee respecting the 1nteg- rity of Greece, when Frances nnotivei or landing troops on Greek soil are explained as in the nature of accom- plishing the very purpose of Greecel treaty Of alliance with Serbia, we can see no reason why Greece should re sist what she cannot help and whai ultimately cannot fail to be to he advantase.'
 +tIt must not be forgotten chat vvlaile no sacrifice has been asked Of Greece to which her international obligation do not already irnpel her, the raaliza. ton of the dream which sleeps in the heart of every true Greek has beer held out to her without condit1ons For centuries the Greeks have wanted two things: a, free and united Greece and freedom for Greeks wherever they might be- The former we have gained with blood, heroism and sacri. ice extending over centuries. The lat ter, in a larger degree than we could to come, perhaps, is suddenly madt possible to us.
 .sWho thinks what it would mean tc Greece that those of our blood lind on the opposite shore may one day soon come under our flag and can not be indifferent to the realization of a greater Greece for which we ara asked to pay nothing save the keeping of our pledged word to which oJu honor binds, us in any case, This ia the position of Greece today which am more glad to make clear to Amer ica because T have just been Ap. preached by MT. William Hamilton of New York. with a. most generous offer of assistance for Greek refugees on behalf of the relief commission. scarcely know how to express the pro, found gratitude which am convinced each of my countryn1en will feel over this new evidence of the great heart of America.
 'arhe Greek government is doing au it can to help more than sOo,o0( homeless refugees from Asia Minor Macedonia and Thrace.

An Empire Yet to be Settled.

Persons who are pessimistic about
the future of this little old republic of
ours and think we are headed for the
demnition bow-wows, or words to that
effect, should read some. facts that
came to light at Washington recently
and cheer up. We have so many un-
touched resources that we only have
been touching the high spots. In a
United States government report dug
up by newspaper correspondent 1T
was shown that in four of the great
states of the mighty Northwest only
10 per cent of the tillable land is being
cultivated These states are Mime
sofa, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana. In other words, there is a
vast empire up there in the northwest
larger than most of the countries of
Europe that never has felt the touch
of pillow or harrow So, we should wor-
ry about posterity.
To become more specific, there are
some rs, 900, 900 acres of available land
in that country that is only waiting for
the settler to come and get busy. Think
of the millions of people that are yet
to be, who shall come and live and
thrive and build cities on those bound
ing plains!
Of course, you'll say, "Well, the land
can't be worth much or somebody would
be cnltivating it," Wrong!
Well, what's the answer, then?
Inaccessibility- is what used to
be the answer. But now there is am
pie transportation through this empire
primeval and it is going to come to the
front rapidly from now on, experts de-
clare. Not until the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound Railway was con-
structed through those parts did this
untitled province have a chance 1t
was isolated far from the pathways of
man.
Government reports show that these
lands have no superior anywhere for
the raising of such crops as corn, oats,
wheat, barley, rye, flax and hay. That
is why Montana has just won the
Grand Prize on cereals at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition. With
only 10 per cent of their tillable acre
age under cultivation these great COM
monwealths line up in the cavalcade of
states about as follows: Fourteenth in
production of wheat, eighteenth in the
production of oats, fifteenth in barley,
twentieth in potatoes and third in flax.
All of which will doubtless make it
easy for you to understand why there
on the great plains new towns are
springing up, new industries are being
established, new avenues of trade are
being laid out-a new nation, strong
and mighty as the hills, is coming into
existence.

Scuttling American Ships.

If an enemy had succeeded in driving
the American Flag from the high seas
,lly fraction as effectively as our
4wmakers have legally done, the whole
nation would be aroused and In arms.
Apparently no effort has been neglect
ed to make the burden of flying the
American Flag as heavy as possible.
AS a result the Pacific Mail S. S. Co.
will very soon withdraw its ships from
the trans-Pacific trade; and when the
Great Northern does the same, as it's
vessels are Improbable, there will re-
main no Pacific line, and this vast
oceanway will be left to Japan to claim
and use. That Japan will not be slow
to seize the opportunity goes without
saying, for Japan subsidies the ships
that fly her flag, while the United
refuses a dollar of encouragement and
imposes restrictions and requirements
which are in effect practical prohibi-
ton.
Even the Great Lakes are not i'm
mune; for when the idiotic LaFollette
act takes effect next November, the
American Flag will come down from
forest of mastheads, not to fly again
until the law is changed. Labor unions
are credited with the conception of the
LaFollette bill, which was heralded as
an act ''to promote the welfare of
American seamen," but which in its
results will promote thousands of sail
ors out of job. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has also lent help
ing hand, and the lake steamers of rail-
road lines will have to tie up. mas
much as these lines have not been par
ticularly profitable under fairly good
&c 70 ho
expected navigation companies will
spring up and clamor to buy these
ships. With the close of navigation on
the Great Lakes next December, the
American Flag will be practically ex-
terminated on the inland seas. The
boats will almost certainly be sold to
other countries.
What fine thing it all is; what a
grand accomplishment; how proud we
all should be to have made it almost a
misdemeanor to fly our own flag, and
to have thrown so many obstacles
against its being flown from the mast
head that an owner and captain stand
mighty good chance of going to Jail
every time they do it! While almost
every other nation which has even
few miles of seacoast is striving in
every way to encourage its marine,
we, with the largest availabla seacoast
on earth, have apparently neglected
nothing to exterminate the little ma
rine we had. This country will pay
costly penalty one of these days, and
will reap in humiliation and dismay the
bitterest harvest which shortedsighted
and misguided politicians have sown
for u.s.. H. H. Windsor in the October
Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The Monkeys Trick.

The curator of the New York zoo
was praising the intelligence of mon
keys.
"a Philadelphia man. he said, was
hurrying out Powelton avenue one aft
ernoon when all of a sudden an organ
grinders little monkey dropped dead.
The poor grinders grief was pitiful.
The Philadelphia, touched, gave him
a half dollar and fastened away. An
hour later. returning through Market
street, he saw the same organ grinder,
and just as he passed the monkey again
dropped dead, and the grinders grief
was even more pitiful than before. The
Philadelphia gave loud laugh. The
grinder. recognizing him, also laughed,
but made no motion to return the half
dollar"
