Permitted to Retain Three Warships, But They Must Be Disarmed - Other Strongholds Dismantled- - Control of the Main Rail way Also Asked.
British Continue Advance in Macedonian Campaign Cross Road Northwest of Seres, But Bulgarian Re sistance Tightens Near Monastir.

London, Oct. 12.-Vice Admiral Dartige Fournet, Commander In Chief of the Entente Allied fleet in the Mediterranean, according to a delayed Reuter- despatch from Athens, has made the following demands upon the Greek government, which were to be complied with before 1 o'clock yes terday afternoon:
 The Lemnos Kilkis and AVeroff, thr three best ships of the Greek navy, must be disarmed and virtually put out of commission.
 Every other Greek warship must be surrendered to the Entente, together with the two forts commanding the reg ular anchorage of the allies warships. ? The other Greek seacoast fortifica- tions must be dismantled.
 The Piraeus-Larissa railway must be placed under complete control of the Allies.
 Marine Minister Complies
 These measures apparently are al- ready in effect. since the despatches say the Greek Minister of Marine comply, and would surrender all ships even DelOTc tHc IiILe efIoWOo hihi Aou expired.
 The Lemnos and Kilkis were for merly the United States battleships Idaho and Mississippi. They were built in 1909, are. of 13.50O tons, and mount four 127inch and eight S-inch guns. The Averoff is an armored cruiser of 10000 tons, bilt in 1910 carrying four 9.2-inch and eight 7.5- in guns
 These three ships, comprising near. ly the entire effective fighting force of the Greek navy, are to be retained on condition that they be disarmed and their crews reduced to one-third the regular complement. The ships to be turned over comprise the three old 5000 ton battleships, the Spetsia Hydra and Psara. about dozen small cruisers and gunboats and a score ot torpedoc raft
 / The Piraeus-Larissa railway is the most important in Greece, running from Greece's principal seaport to the largest town of Thessaly, and con- meeting with the Salonica- -Monastir line.
 The correspondent says these dras- tic measures were determined on be- cause the despatch of artillery and ammunition to the interior. the move ments of Greek ships and the con- tinued activity of the reservist leagues had aroused fear for the security of

GRfCIAN GOVERNMENT IS
 COMPELLED BY ALLIES TO
 GIVE UP NAVY AND FORTS

allied warships and troops in Mace donia.
 Reject Kings Proposals. 1 Other delayed despatches from Athens arriving yesterday declare that the entente allies found King Con- stantine's latest proposals looking toward declaration of war on Bull garia unacceptable in form. They signified their willingness, however, to furnish assistance in every way practicable should Greece actually de- clare war and begin mobilizing. No more than this, the despatches de- clare, is to be hoped for in the way of concessions to Greece in return for her support.
 Regarding the allies Macedonian campaign, todays official bulletins an nounce further advances by the Brit ish, who have crossed the railway line northwest of Seres. They say, how ever, that the Bulgarians have rein forced their right and are offerine stubborn resistance south and east oi Monastir. The Italians in Southern Albania have pushed further up the valley of the Voyusa toward the Greek frontier.
 "On the right wing" says the of ficial report from Paris, / "the British have crossed the railway and occupied Prosenik. In the centre we captur- ed the enemy's first line on the heights west of Devedjili (close to the Serbian frontier between Lake Doiran and the Vardar).
 "On the left the Bulgarians have received endorsements and are of fering desperate resistance to the Ser bians. The allied army took 2,616 prisoners between Oct. 1 and 10.'
 The British official report parallels this so far as the British contingent is concerned. Yesterdays officia, despatches from Sofia claim the re. pulse of all attacks made by the al. lies.
 Rumanians Still Retreat.
 Yesterdays official bulletin from Bucharest regarding the Rumanian campaign admits retreat in Eastern Pennsylvania, but says attacks were repulsed along the southern part ot this front.
 ''The enemy is attacking on the whole front" it says. "We repulsed him with sanguinary losses at Cai- meni Pass (south of Kronstadt) and made some progress east of the Jiul Valley (west of Hermannstadt. Tc the west of Jiul Valley we stopped ar enemy attack and another in the Te- mos Valley (north of Orsova, on the Danube). Our troops are retiring toward the right bank vof the Mares and on the left bank of the Alt Gin Northern and Eastern Transylvania). In the Buxeu Valley our troops retired toward the customs station at Crasna Con the frontier, a retreat of nearly 30 miles from the furthest point. reached by the Rumanians).
 "On the Danube our artillery bonn barded Vidin, Bulgaria. In ethe Do- brudia there was nothing new"
 The Italian, official report yesterday says troops from Argyrocastro, 'mov- ing up the voyusa Valley, have occu- pied Premeti 50 miles southeast o1 Aylona and about the same distance from Presha Lake, on which rests the left flank of the allied army in the Balkans.

WILLIAM GRANT
\ Tribute to His Memory.

The curtain of life Is lowered.
TwiNt the singer aud the song.
And lips that have thrilled with music
Are now stilled but not for long.
The heart that was Ovcrnowing
With all that was big and great.
Now swells with a grander impulse
That with perfect beings mate.
A soul clothed in mortal raiment
Shown out through his kindly eyes
That glowed with melodic sweetness
Atune with the choir on high.
.t..
It's true the singer is silent.
But the music of his soul
Rings out with chime that ever
His memory will cXtol
Thou servant OF One Eternal.
To humanity-a friend.
Rest peacefully In the home where
Gods harmonies never end.

at Beginning of War.

Washington, Jan. 17.-How
the United States ranked third
among the worlds naval DOW
erS at the beginning of the Eu-

eign fleets ceased to be avail
ale, is explained in a letter from
Secretary Daniels, made pub
lie tonight by Representative
Madden, of Illinois. Mr.. Mad
den called attention to a state
m ent by Representative
Kitchin, the house majority
leader, who is opposing
the new navy program, declar-
ing that the records showed
the American fleet was superior
to that of any nation except
Great Britain.
In reply, the secretary said
the strength of a modern navy
could be estimated on the num-
ber of dreadnaughts and that,
according to the departments
information, Great Britain had,
on August /, 1914, 46 dread
naughts, Germany %, the Uni

FAVORABLY REPORT
CHILD LABOR BILL
Measure Has Been StrenuOusly
Opposed by Mill Owners of
the South.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE
bill to regulate the employment
of children in the production
and and manufacture of inter.
staes products which is opposed
by southern cotton manufacture
ers, was favotably reported to
the house today by the labor
committee.
The bill would make it unlaw-
full for a producer or dealer to
ship in interstate commerce
goods produced wholly or part
ly by children under 16 years in
mine or quarry products, and by
children under Id in case of
manufactured produces. Sixteen
would be the age limit for man.
ufactured products when the
hours were longer than eight
or at night.
"Ex-Gov. w. w. Kitchin, of
North Carolina, and others rep
res esenting the southern cotton
mills opposed the bills" reads
the committees repor. "The
evidence of the cotton manufac-
turers indicated a gratifying "a
tention to the welfare of their
employees in other respects,
though it was admitted by
those from North and South
Carolina that the laws of those
states still permitted them to
employ IL year old children for
IL hours a day, while in North
Carolina there was no factory
inspection.
"The only opposition from
manufacturers personally ap-
pearing before the committee
has been from the cotton man.
ufacturing states of North and
South Carolina, Virginia and
Alabama, and the manufactur-
ing associations of those states
have been in the past opponents
before their own legislatures of
the raising of the age limit or
shortening of the hours for the
working children"
In it's report the committee
directed attention to the fact
that in several southern states
having extensive cotton mills
there is no prohibition against
employment of young children,
manufacturers in North and
South Carolina even being per-
mitted "to employ IL year old
children for IL hours day."
