Will Deliver Address at Congregation.
al Church Sunday Night Under
Brotherhood Auspices.

Zens Smith. principal OF the Quincy
high school, who will speak at the
Congregational church tomorrow
night. Is the son of the Rev. James
Robert Paul Smith who was pastor OF
the Congregational church in Quincy
for many years and is now located In
ST. Paul.
He is a graduate OF Knox college,
having graduated in the same class
with Ralston Hayden and Tcess!er
Callahan of Carthage. The three
young men were very close friends
and fraternity brothers at Knox col
lege, and by a strange coincidence,
all have gone into the educational
field Mr. Callahan being principal of
the high school at Macomb. Mr.. Smith
has had good deal OF experience az
speaker and will undoubtedly give
very interesting talk on Religion
in Education tomorrow night, when
he speaks at the local church under
the auspices Of the brotherhood.

Of the entente allies is complete com.
pliance with their Nultimatum and an
expression of the hope for resumption
"of traditional relations with the
entente nations, based on reciprocal
confidence"
The text of the reply as made pub

another manifest proof of her senti-
ments of sincere friendship for the
entente and announces that orders
already have been given complying
with the allies demands. The move
ments of troops and of materials be-

Legitimate satisfaction" was prom
ised for the events of December 1
(the attacks on French and other
allied forces in Athens) and arbitra-
ton was suggested for adjustment Of
the details.
The reply concludes with express
sion of the hope that the entente
powers will reconsider their blockade
decision and emphasizes that tho
Greek government and the people de-
sire resumption of the traditional re.
lations with the entente, based on
reciprocal confidence.

Deputy District Attorney Claire
Woolwine is working with the police
in their effort to ascertain the ones
responsible for the explosion and fire.
David Captain, convicted OF man
slaughter in connection with the 1910
Los Angeles Times dynamitfng just
twelve hours before the Llewellyn eX-
plosion, declares no associates of his
were in any way connected with the
explosion which some ascribed as
demonstration against Captains con-
viction He declares any such move
ments would cause him irreparable
injury. Today the boilers of the
ruined plant were found intact, This
disposes Of the theory that the fire
started from a boiler explosion.
In 1910 shortly after the Los An
geles Times building was destroyed
by fire started by a bomb, bomb
was exploded in an attempt to de-
stroy the Llewellyn plant. The place
was partly damaged.
The subsequent apprehension and
trial Of James B. and John j. Mona
mara provided a series of sensations
in labor circles and caused the con-
viction and Imprisonment OF most OF
the highest officials Of the Interna-
tional Iron Workers union. The Nc
