The king of Greece on last Thursday
summoned the Associated Press CORE

making a protest through the press OF
the United States, which he said was the
only forum of public opinion open to him,
against the recent action of the allies in
their operations at Saloniki, in blowing
up the bridge at Demir Hissar, in oc-
cupying Corfu and other islands, which
Greece claims. He said the plea of mill
tary necessity, advanced by the allies,
was like that given by Germany for in
vading Belgium and Luxemburg. at is
the merest can't" the king declared, "for
Great Britain and France to talk about
the violation Of neutrality in Belgium
and Luxemburg, in view of what they
had done and are doing themselves"
King Constantine said he believed it
would be very difficult, if not impossible,
to conquer Germany in military way,
if economic exhaustion did not force her
to sue for peace. He expressed that
finally, in his opinion, the war would end
in a draw.
The interview with the king was trans
mitted from Athens on Jan. 13 but was
sent out from Paris on Jan. 1s at 3:45
p. m. On Jan. is, at an earlier hour, the
highest French authority, whose person
atty is not otherwise indicated, gave an
interview to the Associated Press in re-
ply to statements made by the Greek
king.
This authority denies that there is any I
parallel between the German invasion of /
Belgium and Luxemburg and the tenn
porary use of certain points in Greece,
which this authority asserts does not
constitute an occupation, properly speak
ing, and which use was made for the
most part with the tacit consent of
Greece.

Manslaughter Case Started

PROSECUTION NOT

Defense Will Strive to Prove
Death of Sumner Brown
Was Accidental

st. Johnsbury, Jan. 20.--The trial Of
Harlow Hatch on the charge OF man
slaughter in the shooting of Sumner
Brown, his employe, last summer, was
started in Caledonia county court this
morning and it attracted considerable
attention as the courtroom was filled
with spectators. Hatch had been ar
raigned yesterday afternoon, the in
detment being read to him, after which
he pleaded not guilty. During the past
few days Hatch has been out of Jail
under bail and was feeling in fairly good
spirits until yesterday when the ordeal
of his coming trial seemed to depress
him.
The forenoon session to-day was de-
voted to drawing jury and at the noon
recess there were fourteen men in the
jury box but there We're two challenges
in, SO that it was not certain when the
jury would be completed.
From the nature OF the question asked
of the prospective jurymen by the pros
ecution it was evident that the states
intention will not be to establish in.
tention on the part of Hatch. The de-
fence will be that the death of Brown
was accidental.
