Grecian Advantage
Receives Correspondent of Associated Press at
Tatio Quarters

Tatoi. Greece. Sept. Iva Paris.
Sept. 15.-(Delayed by Censor).-King
Constantine received the correspon-
dent of The Associated Press in his
summer palace here just previous to a
visit from the British minister at Ath-
ems. The King spoke of the present sit
uation with the utmost frankness. al
though refusing to be directly quoted.
He said that Greece was ready to join
the Entente allies whenever she could
see her definite and certain advantage
in so doing.
Not Bound by Pledge
The King expressed indignation that
it could be thought, much less publish
ed, that he is bound by any pledge to
anyone not to make war or that he
has been moved in his course hitherto
by any reasons save those he conceiv-
ed OF be for the greatest good of his
country He declared that the situa-
ton up to the Bulgarian invasion Of
Greek Macedonia and Rumania's- en-
try into the war had not revealed with
sufficient certainty the advantage to

took Bulgarian positions a half mile
deep on a front Of one mile. West Of
Lake Ostrovo the Serbians captured
Malkanidze. The British attacked
west of the Narder and also gained
ground.
Burglars Retreat
Unoficially 1t is reported that the Bull
garians retreated II miles in front of the
abandonment of Kastoria by the Bulga-
rians. Berlin says Entente attacks in the
Moglenica sector and east of the Nardar
were repulsed.
The Italians have begun a new drive
toward Trieste. Lines of Austrian en-
trenchments east of the Vallone have
been taken, Rome reports, together with
more than POO prisoners. Vienna, while
admitting Italian successes on the Isonzo
front declares that the first assault is
looked upon as failure.
In the Dobrudja region of Rumania,
Bucharest admits that the Russian and
Rumanian troops are ertring northward
before the advance of the forces of the
Central Powers. Violent fighting Is in
progress in this region. In Transylva-
mia. however, the Runanian forces are
continuing their progress and have reach

There has been no change in the situa-
ton on the eastern front from the Car

Answers Detractors
in the United States
Discovers deliberate c mp al gn" to Throw
Doubt on British Censorship

the foreign Office has given a permit
for the export of certain German
goods from Rotterdam on the ground
that these goods had been paid for
before the war uses that permit frad-
ulently as frequently Is the case we
pass the information on to the for
eign Office in order that they may can
eel the permit
Again, when we find that a neu-
trail firm is using British banking ia
cilities for the purpose of trading with
our enemies and is deceiving the Britt
ish banks in question as to the real
purpose of the transaction we pass
that information on the proper depart
ment in order that they may refuse
to license the transaction. Or again, II
we learn that a shipment of contra
band. ostensibly from one neutral firm
to another. is really destined for the
enemy we see that the contraband
committee gets that information.
That, frankly stated, is what we do.
But we affirm, and challenge anyone to
deny it, that honest business interests
and trade secrets of an American mer.
chant or manufacturer are as safe In the
hands of the military censor and Of every
other government department as they are
in the hands Of the American postoff1ce."
Lord Robert Cecil today explained the
recent orders Of the British government
refusing to allow Holland to accept fur
Their consignments of American goods and
refusing letters of assurance that Ameri-
can shipments would reach Scandinavia
He said the orders applied only to GER
tain prohibited articles and not to trade
in general.
Great Britain has forbidden the export
Of various articles to European neutrals
on the ground that they have already re-
ceived in the first seven months Of this
year more than an ordinary years sup
ply. Lord Robert said it was not logical
to forbid such exports from Great Britain
and to permit them from America and
other neutral sources.
Lord Robert explained that one neutral
nation. taking normally 5000 tons of cof-
fee in seven months. this year already
has imported 5000 tons. so that all fur
Their imports Of coffee to that country are
looked upon as likely to reach an enemy
destination.
The list Of prohibited articles. he said.
varies with different countries according
TO what they already had imported. all
allowances being made for imports for
merry made to German ports.

the risks and unquestionable cost in
lives and property bound to follow
Greek participation in the war.
Fear Of Turkey
King Constantine referred with par
ticular feeling to the fate almost GER
tain to overtake more than a million
living Greeks living in Asia Minor and
Thrace in the event of Greece finding
herself engaged in hostilities with
Turkey. and he pointed out that
those who judged Greece and himself
harshly for what is regarded as in
action gave no thought to the pros
pect of condemning to the lot of the
Armenians. Greek women and children
caught in the tolls of the Turks.
With profound earnestness, King
Constantine stated that 1t was not the
moment to talk of his deciding the
fate of Greece. nor Of the government
deciding. nor of any political party in
Greece indicating the action the coun-
try must take; but. as he put it, THE

ance of the same subject were given

The Division

OF this number the American League
obtained Il and the National League
q. These latter figures do not signify
that the American League was proper
tionately more lucky in the draw than
the National but that President John
sons organization held a large ma
iority Of the drafts, the Philadelphia
Americans alone making an effort to
obtain IS youngsters through this
method of baseball procedure. OF the
2s that Connie Mack attempted to get,
u were forthcoming to him when the
drawing Of lots had been completed.
He was surpassed. however, by the
Chicago Americans, who obtained IA
players. Next in point Of number came
the Cleveland Americans and the Chi
cago Nationals with seven each. while
the New York Americans corralled I'VE,
Cincinnati, Brooklyn and the ST. Louis
Americans each obtained four. while
Detroit, the Boston Nationals and
Pt,sburg came away with three each.
The New York Nationals. st. Louis
Nationals, Philadelphia Nationals and
Washington each received two, while
the Boston Americans retired from the
meeting room at the end Of the draw
without a single player.
Thoroughly Picked over
That the minor league field had been
picked over rather thoroughly for good
material through the process Of pur-
chase was indicated by the fact that
in no individual case was there an ex-
ceptionally keen competition, the ma
tority Of the players being drafted by
a single club.
At the beginning Of the meeting, it
was announced that the major league
clubs would be permitted to take nve
days in which to select their players
from the Glass 4 and Class "A cluos'
Directly following the drawing OF lots
however, this decision was changed
and a ruling was made that the selec-
tons would have to be made TO-DAY
This rule was complied with. with I'VE
exceptions. Cleveland being undecided
whom they will take from the indian
apolis and Baltimore: the Chicago
Americans being undecided relative 10
Montreal and Richmond, and Washins-
ton announcing that they would choose
later from st. Paul
Every major league team was repre-
sented at the meeting while numerous
minor league magnates also appeared.
Following the open meeting in which
the drafts were drawn. the National
Commission went into executive ses-
sion and announced 1t would take the
proposition to allow the leading clubs
in both ma jor leagues to print their re-
served seat tickets for the next world
series The proposition was preached
owing to the closeness Of 5he two races
and the delay that would be bound to
occur in getting these tickets out
should neither race be decided within
the next two weeks.
The commission finally decided to
leave the world series tickets PROPOSE
ton to Chairman Hermann. If. on
Sept. q, Chairman Hermann believes
1t would be wise to have the tickets
printed in order to save time. he may
notify the management Of the three
teams who are then leading in the Ma
nonal and American Leagues that they
are privileged to have the tickets
