Lcndon, Dec. 23-Martial law will be declared in Greece tomorrow as a result Of the dangerous situation aris- ing from the change in the govern ment and the expected invasion of Austro-German troops.
 This news is contained in a dispatch from Athens to the Tribuna at Rome. It is confirmed in special to the Lon- don Standard from it's correspondent at the Greek capital.
 The Greek cabinet was still in ses- sion at a late hour tonight, after be- ing closeted for the greater part of the afternoon and evening. Three inn portant steps will be taken as a result of the meeting, it is reported They are:
 First, appointment of new premier 10 succeed M. Skouloudis. Second. proclamation of martial law throughout the country.
 Third. declaration of views by the Greek government in view of the immi- ence of Teuton drive on Saloniki. G0unaris Again Premier. It is expected that M. Gounaris will succeed M. Skouloudis as premier. He is the outstanding leader of the "neu- trality" party, which won an over whelming victory at the polls in the recent election. M. Skouloudis, at the time he accepted the portfolio, ex- pressed wish to be allowed to with draw as soon as possible in favor of a younger man.
 M. Gounaris succeeded Venizelos as premier, and his government fell when Venizelos, in the chamber, re- fused a vote of confidence. As result of the election, however, the Gounarists are said to hold the reins of power by tremendous ma jority. A Berlin dispatch says that so great was the victory of the neu- tralists that even had the Venizelos- ists taken part they would have been showed under

PETTY ROBBERlES
AT DOW CITY
Past Week One of Considerable Ac.
tivty Among Thieves, Causing
People to Take Notice.
TWO RoBBERIEs IN ONE NIGHT
Post Office Boxes Piifered Sunday a.
M. and Rifled of Contents-lIl-
inois Central Station Robbed

Dow City. March 16,-(Special to
the Review.)-A series of petty rob
berries here the past week have caus.
cd our people to sit up and take no.
tice. Two occurred last Friday night.
Both depots were broken into. but
the culprits got little reward for their
pains. At the Illinois Central, en-
trance was gained by breaking out a
large window on the north side. The
money till was pried open and %
cents ii, pennies were taken. A box
OF freight was also broken open, but
nothing was taken out. At the North
western. a small pane OF glass was
broken on the south. the thief reach
ing through to the stop and raising
the window. The etil was tapped and
fifteen cents was taken. Nothing else
was disturbed. No clue was left by
which the culprits might be appre.
hended but it is safe to say that ii it,
is local talent, that they are taking
a long chance and will some OF these
times come to grief when they least
expect it. On Saturday night some
sneak thief was plying his trade iii
the city hotel. Two second floor
rooms were entered, one occupant los
ing five dollars. the other twenty-five,
and there is no clue here either. On
Sunday last, sometime after 10 Il. M,
some pillerer was busy in the lobby
of the post Office and number of
post Office boxes were rii!ed OF their
contents. 1t cannot be ascertained in|
this case as TO the amount of damage
done However, this might easily
have been avoided if those having
boxes would but turn tho lock and
thus destroy the combination. We are
reliably informed that several times
lately the discovery has been made
that mail was missing. Post Master
Ahart deeply regrets. the theft and del
clares that IL it continues, he will
close The Office rs saons S. tl1e stiil,
fig natl fsout. 1t seems too bad that
people must be deprived Of securing
their Sunday mail unless at the office
on the dot. The thief will be apprc
hended sooner or later. for doubtless
"a watch viii be instituted and the Eel
low nabbed.

DENISON LOST
AT BASKET BALL
Local Team Participates in Tourna.
ment at Ames Last Friday, Play
ing Two Games.
ARE DEFEATED BY JEFFERSON

lose Out for State Meet

The Denison high school basket
ball team were in Ames last Friday
and Saturday participating in the bas.
ket ball tournament open to high
school teams in western Iowa. The
local team won one, game in the tour
nament. but when they played Jeffer-
son they were put out of the running
for title OF state championship team
by being defeated 10 to II. AS a re-
suit of the tournament held at Ames,
Fl. Dodge and Jefferson will represent
this district at the state tournament to
be held at Iowa City in the near flu
ure. :.
Ten games were played at the GYM
nasium Of the State Agricultural coll.
lege on Friday afternoon and Deni-
son was lined up against Iowa Falls
for its first game. Denison's team.
composed Of Seemann, center; Bos-
laugh and Kuehnle, forwards, and Nc
Henry and Locke, guards, played a
mighty stiff game and although it was
nip and tuck between the two teams
from start to finish they won the
game by score of 81 to IS. At the
end of the first half Iowa Falls was
two points ahead Of DenisOn, but this
did not bother the Denison team and
even In the second half when the Iowa
Falls team had more of lead the boys
kept their heads and by playing q con-
sistent game managed to bring about
q victory. %
The game between Jefferson and
Depison was played Friday evening,
and was a very close game, the score
standing II to 10 in favor OF Jefier-
son. Both teams were a little tagged
out on account OF their previous game.
but nevertheless it was a fine exhibi-
ton Of basket ball. In the first half
Jefferson led by only one point, hav-t
ing 6 points to- Denison's s. Qenlson
managed TO tie this score in the second
half, but later, played IN hard luck
and their oppOn 1nts we're able TO score
several field baskets, with q result
that they won the game.
The Denison boys are not feeling
bad over the fact that they did not
get a chance to represent this district
at the state meet for they believe
they lost to superior team.

LEPHONE RENTS
REMAIN The SANE
Patrons of Phone Company Elated
Over Outcome Of "Trouble"-
No Change in the Rates.
FARMERS WIN GREAT VICTORY
Strong Organization of Wealthy Land
Owners to Control Situation Had
Rates Been Raised,

Patrons OF the Crawford County
Telephone company are elated over
the fact that telephone rentals will
not be increased as had been an
nounced by the company, and that the
old rates will remain in force for a peri
cd of six months at least. This fact
was announced at the meeting OF the
patrons held. at the court house Sat
urday afternoon by Mr. G. F. Kuehnle,
president Of the company. 1t is a
question whether Or not the trouble
has been finally settled, but anyway
a majority OF the patrons in attend
ance at the mass meeting were in
favor of letting the matter rest for
six months, pending the passage Of
tho Jones bill before the house and
the Francis bill before the state SEN
ate. which will place the regulation of
telephone rates and service under the
jurisdiction OF the state railway com
mission. There is some doubt OF the
bills passing the legislature as they
have been proposed at previous SEES
sions and defeated. and should this be
the case again this year it is Il ques-
ton what the outcome VIII be OF the
local telephone trouble.
The farmers have certainly won a
great victory by compelling the tele-
phone company to put the old rates
back into effect This no doubt would
have been Impossible had they not
formed such Il strong organization rep

wealthy land owners OF the county. II

cupied and standing room at a premi.
UNI. The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. John Woodruff, chairman of
the previous meeting. He announced
that on March 10Th there would be a
meeting OF the farmers OF Crawford
county held at the court house for the
purpose OF forming a permanent or
ganiZation of the farmers OF this coun-
ty. He believed that the farmers
could do bigger and better things if
organized and with such an organiza-
ton they could improve conditions
in connection with trade, railroad ia
cilities, etc. Mr.. Woodruff stated that
the farmers We're the best business
men in the United States and that it
was to their advantage to get togeth-
er and stick together. This farmers
are now doing in many sections OF the
country and the fruits of their labor
may be found in the elevators, tele-
phone systems and insurance compan-
les which they are conducting at a
profit.
Mr.. Woodruff asked that secre-
tary be selected and Mr.. Frank Hoif-
man was selected to keep record OF
the meeting. After reading the min
utes of the last meeting Mr.. Woodruff
asked for the report OF the committee
OF five who We're appointed at the
previous meeting to call upoG the Off
Gals OF the telephone company and
state what the patrons of the telephone
company We're willing to do. The
committee reported that they had not
accomplished great deal for the com
pany did not refuse nor did they ac-
cept the terms made to them by the
committee. Mr.. Justice moved that
the committee be discharged, which
was done. and the chairman asked for
a discussion Of the matter.
Mr.. Fred Bean, of Buck Grove. arose
and addressed the meeting. stating
what had been done at Buck Grove i'll
regard to the change OF rates. Mr..
Bean had talked the matter over witt.
Mr.. Kuehnle, president of the tele-
phone company. and announced ut the
meeting that he believed Mr.. kuehnle
would like TO address the meeting, as
he understood that the company would
meet the demands made by the pat
rons. 1t was moved and seconded then
that an invitation be extended to MI.
kuehnle to address the meeting,
which passed unanimously, and Mr..
Fred Brandenberg was appointed by
the chair to invite Mr.. Kuehnle to adj
dress the meeting.
Mr.. Kuehnle in opening his address
urged upon everyone to sit tight and
rot rock the boat and that he hoped
that some agreement might be made
between the patrons and the company
which would work but for the mutual
Benefit ofsall concerntd. In ali ex-'
PLANTATION OF the reason for Il raise in
rates he took the matter zip from the
cpmpuny's standpoint and told of the
financial condition of the corporation.
