Two More Stat-ic Lahding$ Made
in Greek Harbors.
Two new landag by the Entente
allies in the Nea, East are reported
in the Balkans. The British have
transferred some troops from, Salon
iki to Orlano, a snail Greek port six
ty miles east OF Saloniki, with the
intention Of che@ing any possibility
of a hostile adyNce from this quar-
ter. The secone landing was made
by the Frercsh ol the Greek island
Of Castelorizo OF the southeast coast
of Asia Minor, .ot far from the i'm
portant seaport Of Adalia.
An Athens dispatch says that the
occupation Of Adalia is the object OF
the landing. A railway runs north
of Adalia, anG tie presence there Of
a strong Entente force would menace
the communication Of any hostile
force operating against Egypt or the
lower Tigris region.
These movements indicate that
the Entente allies positions around
Saloniki are now considered secure
and indicaticlsare that the campaign
around Saloniki will develop into a
long drawn-out warfare, as on other
fronts

EXPECT ALLIES TO WIN
Greek King Has Talk With Com

In an interview with Gen. Castel-
nau, chief of the French general
staff, Sunday, King Constantine eX-
pressed doubt that the central en-
pires would be able to resist indeh-
nitely the economic, and especially
the financial pressure of the war.
Gen. Castelnau so reported the kings
opinion Sunday night in statement
to the Associated Press.
The Greek sovereign asked the
French commander why by the slow
ness of their operations they had per
mitted the crushing of Belgium and
Serbia and the failure Of the Dar-
danelles campaign. Gen. Castelnau's
reply was that nobody denied these
unfortunate results were extremely
resrettabIe.

or cOncllatlOQ, was given lue WlueSl
and most serious presentation
Bryan's reported peace trip, Ford's
plan, the utterances of the Pope, an
interview with Cardinal and procla-
nations by the various German socle-
ties outlining their idea of the con-
ditions under which peace should be
concluded by Germany.
Now, all the news of Europe
came through the German embassy
and was controlled by it. And it
was evident that the subject of
peace was an absorbingly interest
ING one to the Central powers.
Moreover, we know that Austria
has attempted to arrange separate
peace with Serbia, that at the height
of German success against Russia
Germany twice offered Russia a sep
arate peace. And now, in the middle
of Germany's widest and most spec:
tacular swing, when it seems to the
layman as if the last thing Germany
should desire was settlement, Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg an
nounces that the German empire Will
consider proposals from the Allies
looking toward peace.
For the Germans know that peace
concluded now or in the next four
months will be the best peace Ger
many can ever make. The burst OF
glory now taking place is Germany
last great bluff. Soon she will not
have the men to make great smash
ing drives. Perhaps even now she
won't be able to finish what she has
begun. And when the moment comes
that she must withdraw slowly from
the conquered lands and make hel
shrinking battle line smaller, then
think the German common sense vii
face candidlF the knowledge that 6
last-trencH defense is useless, anc
that i is the end--not the beginning
of the'end.

So it is not an immediate ques-
tion Of food, money, munitions or
even ships. The war Will be def
niteIy won on land, and won with
the preponderance of fighting men.
The question is, will the Allies, all
conditions on both sides being
equal, be able to dominate in sheer
numbers of men? think they will.
And I don't believe that there is a
doubt of it in the mind of any one
who knows the relative populations
of the belligerents, and the percent
age of useful men in any such pop
u1ation.
But can they shoot equally we'll?

Fail to Agree on Warden.

Despite the fact that the board Of
control of Jackson prison was In scs-
sion for several hours with Governor
Ferris, no agreement has been reached
as TO the naming of II successor to
Warden Nathan Il. Simpson.
At the conference no actual vote was
taken. There was lack of unanimity
In sentiment.
Before the session there were three
known candidates, two of whom. 1t is
understood, have made actual applica-
ton. The three were DIR. James e.
Bradley OF Eaton Rapids, defeated by
former Governor Warner for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination In
1908; Sheriff Ralph w. Chapman OF
Kalamazoo county. and Mari Il. Muir

charities.
Governor Ferris, although having no
voice In the actual elaboration of the
board. because he is only an ex-oficio
member, has the veto power, on the
selection. The appointment must be
with his consent. The governor open
ly says that OF the men being consld-
cred, he favors Murray.

he had verbal ruling from the attor-

that any of these lands would have to

The planting program was carried

COAL COST LAID TO ROADS
Companies File Suits in the Federal

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two suits were
filed in the United States district
court which may result in the increas-
ing or lowering Of the price of coal to
the consumer. The filing Of the suits
reveals a shippers and carriers war.
The defendants In both suits are
the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe and
al other railroad companies, and
their receivers.
The; plaintiffs In one suit are the
Clinton Coal company and ten other
coal companies and In the other the
coal companies.
The Clinton suit is u bill in equity
for an injunction requiring the return
of coal cars to the Chicago 4 Eastern
Illinois railroad for service Of mines
along the road. The Ayrdale suit is
similar. except that ii asks the return
Of ears to the rails OF the Chicago.
Terre Haute * Southern railway. Both
bills are identical except for the
names.
The bills set up that the defendant

diverted and misused and confiscated,
and asks that a restraining order be

State Game Farm Favored.

The first step toward the establish
ment of state game farm in Michi-
gan was taken by the public domain
commission, when it went on record
as being in favor of the purchase of
what is known as the Teel farm, in
Ingham county, and starting at once
the breeding of the ring-necked pleas
ants.
Game Commissioner William X.
Oates has an option on the farm.
Under the law of 1913, which pro-
yides funds for such project, the
consent Of the governor is necessary.
The plan will necessitate an eXpen-
dture, at the start, of $4,000 includ-
ing about $4,000 for the purchase of
the land. The money will come from
the fund created by the gun license of
81 hunter, which has been in effect
for couple of years. and which now
contains about 100000. q
The decision of the commission canie
after an all-day session The Teel farm
contains 1876 acres, and is endowed by
cover for birds To make ii i'm ideal
breeding and rearing place. The farm
is 16 miles Southeast of Lansing.
The scheme. as It will be presented
to the governor, contemplates starting
with 500 birds, which will cost $500.
-Four men, Il superintendent and three
assistants will constitute the initial
force on the farm.
While there was Il tendency among
several of the members of the commits
sion to regard the plan ms impracti-
cable and visionary, they all agreed
| that, inasmuch as the sportsmen had
beeR--promised something for their
money when the hunters license bill
passed, they should be given the farm.
