London Denies Blockade

LONDON, November 23 :46 pm
The foreign office states no Greek ships
are being seized or held up in the ports
of the United Kingdam, and that no block
ade of Greek ports has been instituted
or is in force,
No amplification of the foreign office
statement is obtainable in official quar-
tiers The universal deduction is that the
Greek government has satisfied the
British demands, submitted by Earl
Kitchener, secretary for war, who was in
Athens last week. It is assumed Greece
has furnished guarantees of the safety
Of the Anglo French expeditionary force.
May Have Been Premature.
1t is believed the announcements from
Athens concerning commercial blockade
of Greece were premature, in that they
presented the provisional intentions of the
entente allies as accomplished facts.
According to dispatches published in
the London morning papers the Ser
bian war minister has arrived at Sa-
loniki to consult with the allied staff,
and Denys Cochin, member of the
French binet. who has been in
Athens for several days in conference
with the Greek ministers, is returning
from that city owing to the difficult
situa ton.

NAVY LEAGUE COURTS
CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY
Anxious to Refute Representative
Tavenner's Charges, Asserts
: Secretary Dadmun.

Following a statement by Represent
ative Tavenner of Illinois that he would
introduce resolution of inquiry to prove
his contention that the Navy League is
financed by persons interested in war
munitions, A. Fl. Dadmun. secretary of the
league, today declared that if an investi-
CATION could be held it would be all that
the organization desires. o.
The statement issued by Mr.. Dadmun
says: =, H.. :
Nothing would please the. officers and
directors of the Navy League more than
to open our books and demonstrate to
Congress and the country that the nation
wide movement on. behalf of naval pre-
paredness is movement of. for and by
the American people. The league is sup
ported by red-blooded5 Americans whose
motives are unselfish and patriotic.
Among these unselfish American
patriots is J. p. Morgan. who became a
life member on the payment Of s25 more
than eight years ago. The only other
contribution or support either asked for
or received from Mr.. Morgan, was re-
ceived four years ago, when he contributed
speakers attending western convention.
LOO Checks This Month. =,
NO less than LOO checks. most. of
them for two-dollar memberships, al
ready have been received from league
members this month. Seventy per. cent
of these checks came from the west
and the south. Representative Taven-
ner is again invited to call at:our of
fee and see, where this support came
from. Our books are open to him.. The
league is proud to have Mr.: Morgan
as a director 1t also is proud of other
directors and members whose incomes
are very SMALL indeed, for 3rich and
poor are patriots who desire to asso-
ciate themselves in a movement to keep
the horrors of war. out of our. -Ameri-
can homeland through a navy so strong
that mo military nation can send its
troops across the ocean to attack us.
Representative Tavenners had no au-
thority nor reason for stating that the
Navy League is unfriendly to govern
ment manufacture of war munitions
Indeed he might just as well have made
such a statement regarding the views
of President Wilson and ex-Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft, and come as near
the truth" T.

Announced as Official.

Recent dispatches from the near east
have stated that the British govern
ment had inaugurated peaceful
blockade" of Greece. A message sun
day from Athens gave what was rep
resented as the text of an official an
nouncement from the British legation
there saying the allied powers have
deemed it necessary to take certain
measures which will have the effect
of suspending the economic and COM
cercial facilities which Greece has re-
ceived from them heretofore 1t was
stated that as soon as the allies were
satisfied as to the attitude of Greece.
they would remove the obstacles now
opposed to the arrival of merchandise
in Greece.
The purpose of these measures, it was
said, was to induce Greece to guar
antee immunity to Serbian. French and
British troops, which might be forced
into Greek territory from hostile ac-
lion by the Greeks.
