ENTENTE TO RESPECT
GREECE'S NEUTRALITY
Yields in Dispute Over Trans.
portatiOn of Serb Army.

London, May 15.-The Foreign Of
fee announced to-day that the out
standing differences between Greece
and the Entente powers had been set
tied amicsbly, with the result that
there would be no violation of the neu-
trality of Greece.
Greece has been at odds with the
Entente powers for several weeks on
the question of the transportation 10
the Salonica front OF Serbian troops
which escaped from their country
across Albania and were transported
TO the Greek island of Corfu. These
troops have been reftted and reorgan-
lied, and the Entente Allies desire TO
use them at Salonica.
Corfu lies off the western coast Of
Greece, near the Albanian border. The
Entente Allies, desiring 20 avoid the
delay and the danger from submarines
incident TO the transportation Of the
Serbians by sea all the way around
Greece 10 Salonica, requested the
Greek government for permission 10
send them across country by railroad.
Greece declined. II was reported from
Berlin last week that the powers had
decided to resort to force, IL neces-
sary, 10 move the troops across Greek
territory.

London, May 15.-Fresh attempts

SEES MARKET IN RUSSIA
Richard Martens, Engineer, Tells OF
Great Opportunity to Follow War.

Russia will be the future market for
American manufacturers after the war
in the opinion of Richard Martens.
vice-president and general manager OF
the shipping and engineering firm Of
r. Martens & Co., Ltd, who sailed yes
teerday for Petrograd on the Cali
fornia.
RUSSIA will be ready to buy as soon
as the war is over. By specializing to
suit Russia's needs the American
manufacturer can take over the i'm
mense trade that Germany once en-
joyed.
"But America will find keen compe-
tition in England, France, Holland.
Germany and the Scandinavian coun-
tries. Her big advantage, however, is
her ability to trade Immediately the
war is over.
AT the outbreak OF the war German
middlemen were selling S100,000,O0O
worth of American made goods year
in Russia. That trade was lost tc
America because it was not controlle
BY the American seller, and the goods
were making reputation for Germany
instead of America. The lesson for
the American manufacturer is to trade
direct with Russia"

INTERNED Is MONTHS
BEFORE ASKING u. 5. AID
American In British Camp For
got Government Could Help.

London. May 15.-The case OF Adolph
Morganstein affords fresh instance
of an American subject remaining for
many months in an internment camp
before appealing for release on the
ground Of American citizenship.
Morgnnstein was born in San Fran
cisco. His father had been naturalized
I'm California several years before the
sons birth, but thereafter they had
both spent many years in Germany.
Upon the American Consulate's rep
reservations tho British government
as in similar cases, Immediately
granted release. This course is fol
lowed wherever citizenship is proved,
although Delaying eighteen months be
fore asserting American nationality is
naturally subject to a strict investiga-
ton.
The America Consulate is also work
ing on an arrangement whereby on
complaint from German relatives that
interned Germans are suffering bad
health, the British government, after
medical examination. will agree to
repatriation.

Petrograd Sees New German
Effort to Check Cars
Asiatic Drive.
lBy Cable 10 The Tribune J


Petrograd, May 15.-Further ad-
vances in the direction of Mosul are
claimed in the Russian official state
ment to-day.
From Rowanduz, the occupation of
which was announced yesterday, the
Cars troops have progressed to Rivan-
douza, putting the Turkish defenders
to flight.
Conveys of munitions and large am
munition depots were precipitately
abandoned. The Russian cavalry is in
pursuit.
Kurdish attacks from the direction OF
Diarbekr are also declared TO have been
repulsed at Mamakhatun.
Appearances all point to the conclu-
sion that the principal war work of the
immediate future will be on the Asiatic
front. Verdun seems to have killed
German initiative on the western front,
but the ominous progress steadily made
bv the Russians on the Asiatic front
compels Germany 20 reconsider her
plans. -,
Attention is called to the council OF
war recently held by Emperor william
at which those higher commands en-
gagged with the Asatic part Of Ger
many's strategic schemes were oxcep-
tionally largely represented.
The official communication to-day
says:
I'm the direction Of Mamakhatun our
reconnaissance produced successful
results. In the direction Of Dlarbekr
we repulsed a Kurdish offensive.
an the direction Of Mosul our
troops entered the town Of Rivandouza
and seized ammunition depots. Inc

doning conveys and war material. Our

NEW YORK PARADE
DEFENCE ARGUMENT
Shows Country Wants Prepared

ures Declare.
fBy Telegraph TO Tho TrbunsI

Albany, May 15.-After a hearing in
which the parade in New York was re-
peatedly referred to as a powerful ar
gument for preparedness, Governor
Whitman late this afternoon signed
these military measures:
The Welsh bill, for compulsory phys"
Ical training for children over eignt
years old in all schools of the state.
The Slater bill, for compulsory mill
tary training for all boys between six
teen and nineteen years, except those
regularly employed.
The Stvers bill, empowering the
Governor to order, at any time, crafs
of the reserve militia, consisting Of all
able bodied men between eighteen aud
forty-five, to bring the National Guard
up to full military strength.
The Stivers bill. making the naval
militia and National Guard conform
with the most up-to-date military sys-
TENS.
Another military bill which the Gov.
ernor will undoubtedly sign is that OF
Assemblyman Kincaid, appropriating
100000 for the modelling Of the Ma
tional Guard during the coming sum
mer.
Mrs. Pinchot Opposes Bills.
A group of pacifsts, headed By Mrs.
Amos Pinchot, opposed all the military
bills at the hearing. Mrs. Pinchot de-
clared that the idea of militarism
should in no way enter into the train
ing of school boys. She held that the
same amount spent on an up-to-date
system of gymnastics would do .lore
good for the defence, peace and happl-
ness of the country in one year than
compulsory military drill could do IN
decades.

these bills" said former Supreme Court
Justice Randall J. Lebeuf, who led the
advocates of the measures. when L

Money in Unlimited Amounts
Bet at Odds of 7 to

ONE FIRM PLACES
S250,OOO ON WILSON
Wagers Were Made Yesterday in Chi
cago on Hughes 10 to 9, While Bos-
ton Supporters of the Republican Can
didate Offered 10 to 6.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Wilson money
in unlimited amounts to bet at odds of
I to 10 was reported yesterday by
Wall-street brokers acting as agents
in placing wagers on the outcome of
the presidential election, according to
the New York Evening Post. Before
noon several large bets had been laid
at those odds, one of $21 900 to $4,000,
two of 81 900 to $4,000. Old timers in
the financial district expressed the be-
lief that never within their memory
had so much money been put up on a
presidential election, or so much bit
terness been shown. Yesterday g bet
ting broke all records, it was said
On the stock exchange, in conse-
quence of the luncheon speech made
by President Wilson Thursday attack
in Wall street, the arguments became
so personal and bitter that several
members actually left the floor rather
than stay and run the chances of
violating rules governing conduct.
In discussing the very large amount
of money that has been bet this year
on the outcome of the presidential
election one of the active members of
the stock exchange, who is one of the
governors, said that since the odds
went from 10 to down to even money
and back to 10 to 7, no less than
S250,000 had been bet on Wilson by
one stock exchange firm alone A
great deal of interest was being dis
played, he said, as to who the house
in question has been representing. So
far, he added, the name of the princi-
pal had been kept a secret.
No less than $4,000 was bet Thurs
day by stock exchange firms on the
| outcome of the election, and a larger
amount was placed yesterday. One
firm alone stated that it had 100000
in hand to bet on Wilson at to 10
| One international banking house bet
| $4,000 on Wilson.
The Evening Post is also authority
for statements that wagers were made
