NEEDY PEOPLE

Though there are almost no re-
quests for aid at this time, the off,
GERS of the Associated Charities are

request that during the winter all To-
cal relief work be conducted through
the association which acts as agent
for the county in this work.
The officers of the association are
&c. H. Marsh, president; ]. C. Wood
worth, vice president; Mrs. G. w.
Rugg, secretary; H. G. Blydenstein,
treasurer; and the following direc-
tors, ]. W. Maloney, Mrs. A. F. May.
Mrs. E. C. Anibal and W. W. Har-
rah. Mrs. Anibel is agent and cases
of need should be reported to her.
Contributions may be made to her or
to any of the directors.
The association has been caring for
two elderly women and last evening
a report was received as to two needy
local families. The cases constitute
all that are known of at present

The association went on record as

reducing the limit to any one hunter

LONDON, Dec. "A Reuter- dis
patch said the allied troops and
Greeks had effected an armistice.
King Constantine has agreed to sur
render six mountain batteries to the
allies and Admiral Fournet agreed to
withdraw the allies from Athens.
The dispatches said Greek reserv-
lists and French sailors skirmished at
three points on ten outskirts Of Ath.
ems when the sailors landed after
Constantine refused to surrender arms
Athens residents were panic stricken.
The streets were deserted, traffic
stopped and shops closed.
The royalist and venizeIos Greek
factions exchanged several fusilades
Of shots in the heart Of the city. Aft
er considerable fighting Admiral
Fournet suggested an armistice and
Constantine accepted.
London believes the tense Greek
situation is cleared up. A Central
News dispatch said the fighting had
terminated and negotiations were pro.
ceeding.
Constantineis decision to surrender
arms is a complete reversal Of his
previous stand The crown council
and cabinet all agreed to defy the al
lies. When the fighting started it
changed their attitudes.
The fighting began apparently
when the Greek reseryists were cali
ed to the colOrs. All dispatches mem
toned the reservists as participating
in the rioting. The reservists. en-
route to join the regiments met the
allied marines entering the city. The
fighting followed.
There Is considerable doubt re-
garding the extent Of the battling.
One dispatch said three small engage
ments. Another mentioned "sanguin.
