GENERAL FEELING
OF O. TT M / S NJ
PERVADES GREECE

Paris, Nov. c2.-The declaration OF
commercial blockade of Greece by the
Entente powers has produced mark
ed impression in Athens, particularly
as it was unexpected. An Athens dis
patch to the Petit Journal says the
newspaper organs of the Greek gov
renment accuse the allies, especially
Great Britain, of seeking TO drag
Greece into the war by harsh meas
ures.
These papers assert Greece has Civ
en- sufficient proof that she intends to
maintain the policy of benevolent neu-
trality and has had no thought of talk
ing hostile steps. However. she cam
not permit transference of the theater
Of war into her own territory. 1t is
suggested that the measures taken by
the allies may result in withdrawal of
Greek troops from the frontier or even
in partial rehabilitation.
The section of the press which sup
ports former Premier Venizelos accus-
es the government of having brought
on, by want Of foresight. conflict
with the Entente powers. The general
feeling. however, is one of optimism,
and it is believed serious misunder-
standings will be avoided.

MontreaISNov.2 EFT is now an as
SQEed fact that Canada will send an
A1f-American battalion to the front.
iThe term battalion in Canada means
the same. as the word regiment in
the United States SO that from this
number recruited for overseas SER
vice under the British flag will be
some over 1900 men. The command
will be known as the 9th battalion
Of Canada or the American Legion,
and no man will be accepted unless
born under the Stars and Stripes.
Up to the present time over 1000 OF
Canada's army are Americans and
there is hardly casualty list given
out but contains a few American
names and addresses.
The idea of forming an AllAmeri-
can contingent originated in the Tor
onto American colony. They deter
mined that their allegiance to their
adopted country demanded distinc-
tive contribution to the firing line.
The leader in the movement is y. r.
Minard, president of the American
club in Toronto.

ARREST GERMANS ON
CHARGE OF BEING
ILLEGALLY IN AMERICA

Boston, Nov 22.-Nine sailors who had
left German steamers in refuge here TO
OBTAIN employment on steamers in the
coastwise trade were arrested by immi-
grafton officials today charged with being
Illegally in this country. The men were
given hearings before a board of special
inquiry at the detention station and were
released on their own recognzance. The
decision in these cases is expected to es-
tablish the status of sailors who leave
their vessels in American ports to join
other vessels. There is no charge in the
present cases. L w&s said that the men
left the German steamer with the inten-
ton OF avoiding examination by immigra-
ton officials.

NAVAL OFFICERS

MEXICO WATER

Washington. Nov. 22.-Oficers of the
battleship Kentucky at Progreso, Tex,
have reported that the steamer Zea-
landia was one-quarter Of a mile in
siGt the three mile limit when recent
ly forcibly searched by a boarding
party from a British cruiser, and
therefore, was in neutral port. They
agree with the British report, how
ever, that no papers were aboard the
ship to show her nationality but were
in the American consulate ashore. The
British officers contend the vessel was
quarter Of & mile outside Of the
three-mile limit, and, therefore, on the
