Amsterdam, Jan. 20.-French and
British troops have been landed at
Corinth, Greece, 4S miles west Of Ath-
ems, according to advices received
here on Tuesday. A coup d'etat of
a kind that Europe lasn't seen for
half century or mere is limited by
Berlin officials and openly expressed
by the newspapers. The removal of
King Constantine from his throne, the
inauguration of a republic and the
election or selection of former Pre-

gested. Berlin announced that the
kind intended to withdraw to Larissa
in northwestern Greece, when allied
troops arrived in Athens, in order to
maintain his armed neutrality" It
is hinted that the withdrawal will be
more in the nature of fight. A note

to an ultimatum, is said by the Over

AGENCIES PLACE WORkMEN N
Many Persons Given Jobs Through
Seven Agencies of the State.

Columbus.-Mo than 100000 per-
sons found employment in 1915
through the seven employment ex-
changes operated by the state, accord
ing to a report received by Gov. Willis
from the statistical department of the
state industrial commission The ex-
act number was 108,S30, almost three
times the number placed by the ex-
changes in 1914. While most of those
for whom employment was secured
were unskilled workers, there was
marked increase in the number Of
skilled workers securing places
through the state exchanges. The re-
port also shows that the total amount
Of accident awards paid out under the
workmen's compensation act during
1915 was s2,272,417.19, an increase of
1852, 2,139.49 over the amount paid out
in 1914. For the period beginning
January 1, 1914, and ending June 80,
1915, awards were made to employees
and bcnefciaries for 99,988 industrial
accidents. Another item in the report
shows that 14,776 Ohio employers list
ed by the commission paid to 779,929
employees $440,972,590 during the year
1915. Employers during the last six
months of 1915 made application for
88,S93 persons, an increase of 64,663
over the same period in 1914 This,
the report says, reflects better indus
trial conditions and increasing conf
dence on the part Of the employers
in the employment exchanges.

Valuation WIN Not Be changed.

In a forty-page opinion Alton
ney General Turner endeavors to
take the kinks out of the Parrett- Whit
temore bill to reconcile conflicting and
doubtful provisions and to make the.
successor of the Warnes law workabrs
and operative. There are more than
a'dozen questions, some of them very
puzzling, which the attorney general
has answered for the State Tax Com
mission, which is bound to follow his
ADVICE under the terms of the law.
One question settled by the. opinion is
that there will be no appraisement Of
real estate this year because the Tax
Commission is advised to order it
throughout the state or not at ALL A
canvass of sentiment has disclosed
hostility to new appraisement, and in
many counties the funds are not avail-
able for the work. One entire section
OF the new tax law is found to be in
operative because it attempts to carry
into its terms part of the Warnes law
expressly repealed. To revive a law
without setting out its terms is forbid
den by the Constitution.
The question as to whether there.
should be an annual appraisement of
real estate is held to be not entirely
free from doubt, but the general con-
clusion of the attorney general is that
it was not intended by the trainers of
the law. He argues that real estate
values do not 1uctuate rapidly enough
to justify the large annual expenditure
required, and nothing is to be gained
by it. While the Warnes law provided
for an annual appraisement, the prac-
tice was found to have been to adopt
the valuation of the year preceding in
nearly every instance. Because of the
constitutional requirement for the uni
form rule of taxation the safe rule is
believed to be to order an appraise-
ment in all counties of the state at the
same time

NATION SEEKS PEACE
MONTENEGRO uNcoNDiTloNALLY
sURRENpERs TO AUSTRIA.
Announcement Made by General tiesd-
quarters Of Army-First 9eliiser-
ent to Lay Down Asr,s.

Berlin, Jan. 19.--Montenegro has un-
conditsonally surrendered to Austria.
She will lay down her arms. She is
the first of the European belligerents
to sue for peace in the 1S months Of
fighting. Terms will be discussed at
once. It is believed they will include
the cession of Mount Lovcen to Aus
trin and the northern Albanian town
oi 3cutari to Montenegro.
Announcement of the submission of
the little mountain kingdom was made
by general headquarters of the Austro-
Hungarian army and by Count Tisza,
the Hungarian premier before the
Hungarian parliament
The premier's announcement caused
a tremendous sensation. A deep silence
followed his words and then parlia-
ment broke into commotion. Shouts
of Joy made the ancient chamber ring.
The news quickly spread to the
streets and the entire city joined in
the first peace celebration.
Montenegro was one of the first ma
tions to enter the war. She recalled
her ambassador at Vienna on August
s. 1914. only few days after the final
break between Austria and Serbia.
Montenegro was the smallest of the
allied countries. Her area was less
than 5000 square miles. but it com.
prised a wild region of mountains and
forests which never had bowed knee
to an enemy.
Her army at the outbreak of the
war numbered about $4,000 out Of a
population of about 22h,Q00.

WOOD WARNS U. S
ARMY CHIEF ASSERTS FOE WITH
10000 MEN COULD INFLicT
"INCALCuLA6LE DAMAGE"
ASKS FOR UNIVERSAL DUTY
10000 Regulars Urged for American
Force-Miitia System Criticised
Control by the Government Favored
Says All Should Aid Nation.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Maj. Gen. Leon.
ard Wood told the senate military COM
mittee on "Wednesday the coast line
of the United States was open to at
tack by any well-organized foreign
army, despite it's equipment of forts,
mines and submarines, and that the
oceans formed no serious barrier to
invasion. He declared that in the
countyy's present state of utter unpre-
paredness for war a trained force OF
150,00 men could inflict incalculable
damage before an army could be as
sembled to meet it.
Emphasizing his convi stion that
troops cannot be improvised to meet
regulars, General Wood declared the
fundamental basis of any policy of
adequate national defense must be
the principle that with suffrage goes
an obligation for military service.
AS to the immediate needs of the
regular army, General Wood ex-
pressed the opinion that the force Of
regulars with the colors' should be
maintained at 100000
Reverting to the condition of the
country to face war with first-class
power, the general said the United
States was utterly unprepared and
knew nothing Of the problems it
would have to meet. At least 2,0O0,O 900
men would be needed, he declared.
and they could be obtained. he be-
lieved, only by compulsory service.
General Wood was positive in de-
claring the militia was composed OF
fine personnel, but cursed by a
hopeless system. Unless it could be
taken over by the government and
absolutely severed from any connec
tion with the states, he said. it should
be abandoned to the states entirely
and not a dollar of government
money wasted upon it.
Under universal service system
the general said, there would be
3,500,000 men between eighteen and
twenty-five years of age upon, whom
the burden of military duty would rest
counting on only so per cent of the
men at that age He believed, how
ever, that every citizen should be held
liable for some duty to the govern
ment in case of war
THE developments of the last year
both tC the south of us and abroad,
he said, indicate that we need to bt
a little better prepared. There ii
nothing concrete, of course"

RAILROADS FILE COMPLAINT
WITH UTILITIES COMMISSION
! AGAINST HOOKING RATES.
WILL FORCE MINES TO CLOSE
Attacks the New Schedule Asking to
Restore Rate of 81 Per Ton Be-
tween NeIsonviIIe and Toledo.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-Bad faith on the part OF
all coal-carrying roads in West V1r-
ginia and Kentucky, including the
Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania, and many les
ser lines, is set up in complaint hled
before the Public Utilities Commis-
sion by the New Pittsburg Coal Com
pany. The coal company attacks the
recently filed schedule of the Hooking
Valley, which asks to restore the coal
rates in vogue until July-that is, a
| rate of 81 a ton between Nelsonyllie
and Toledo. The claim is made that
recently when the coal carrying roads
| in the adjacent states combined in a
| Commission, asking that the existing
coal rates be increased, so that the diff
ferential between Ohio and the other
states would be increased without re-
ducing the Ohio rate, they did not act
in good faith, but intended only to
maintain this action before the Inter
state Commerce Commission until such
time as the Ohio Utilities Commission
should act on the request for higher
rates. 1t is averred that in the event
the Ohio commission grants this relief
then the other railroads will abandon
their action before the Federal Com
mission and that the old differential
will so remain in effect.
Under the present law the State Util
ties Commission must pass finally on
any change in tariffs so days after
filing, in this case by March 20. Prom
lse to open up additional mines in the
Hooking Valley district capable of pro
ducing 35,000,000 tons of coal, 1000, 00(
tons annually, with miners pay roll
of $S50,000, was made by the New
Pittsburg Coal Company, of Columbus
In connection with it's protest to the

OHIO MINERS ASK INCREASE
Plan to Share in Wave of Prosperity
Now Prevalent.

Columbus, O.-Ten per cent increase
in wages for machine and pick coal
mining on mine run basis will be de-
manded of operators April 1, when the
present wage agreements terminate,
Ohio United Mine Workers decided at
the final session of their annual con-
vention here. This will make the rate
for machine mining SIT cents a ton
instead of Al cents as at present. The
miners voted to assist on the mine run
basis of wage bargaining, despite re-
peal of the Green law which compelled
use of this system. This attitude of
the Ohio miners will be presented to
the national convention of the United
Mine Workers to be held in Indian
apolis next week. The miners de-
mands provide that no scale shall be
agreed to that takes away the right
Of state officers to call strike after
they have investigated the grievances
and disagreed with the company.
They also provide that there be no
discrimination in hiring men, and
when men apply for work that they be
hired in the order they applied.

Protest Against High Rate.

A protest against the resumption of
alleged excessive rates by the Hooking
Valley Railroad Co. for transportation
OF coal was filed recently with the util-
tiles commission by the w. A. Gosline
Co., of Toledo. The railroad company
has announced that soon rates which
Ohio courts compelled it to lower ma
terially again will be effective The
Toledo concern, in it's protest, states
that in the few months in which de-
creased coal transportation rates have
been effective, the volume of coal busi-
ness has increased to three times that
of any period of similar length in the
last five years. The rate now in force
for transportation of coal from the
Hooking district to Toledo is IS cents.
The old rate, which the company
states it will resume January 20. is
81. The protest says that ten years
ago so per cent of all coal used in
Toledo was mined in Ohio, while under
the higher freight rate, this percent.

THE battle in eastern Galicia and

Brltaln's Sea Edlet illegal.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Great Brit
aims interference with neutral trade
was the subject Of a vigorous and ex-
haustive speech in the senate on
Thursday by Senator Hoke Smith OF
Georgia. who pleaded for action to
prevent England from advancing her
own trade at the expense of the Uni
ted States while attempting to destroy
Germany commercially. He declared
the rights of citizens of the United
States and other neutral nations were
being recklessly disregarded and en-
phasized particularly what he de-
nounced as Great Britain's lawless
treatment of Americas cotton trade.
Discussing the action of the allies
IN proclaiming cotton as a contraband,
the senator asserted that cotton had
not been used OF needed by Germany
or her allies in the manufacture Of war
munitions for more than eight months.
Senator Smith reviewed the whole
history of interference with trade
and diplomatic exchanges on the sub
Jet. He described as silly and untrue
statements that the United States
made cotton contraband during the
Civil war, declaring that only once be-
fDre in history had cotton been de-
ciared contraband, and II was done
then during the Russo-Japanese war
By Russia, who promptly gave way IN
the face of a protest from Great Brit
ain that the action was illegal. Brit
ish authorities were quoted also to
prove that under International law
foodstuffs are subject to seizure only
when actually consigned to the armed
forces OF an enemy.
-Shall we quietly continue TO fur
nish Great Britain what she is COM
PEELED to obtain from the United States
while the commercial rights of cisi-
Eens Of this country are trampled un-
derfoot?' asked the senator. Great
Britain cannot continue the war with
out munitions from the United States.
Great Britain cannot accomplish
her scheme for worldwide domination
of comrnerce In her vast products OF
oottc-@manufactured fabrics without
cesvon from the United States.
The administration has foreefully
brought to the attention Of Great Brit
AIN the rights OF citizens CT this coun-
try. It has been demonstrated that
citizens Of neutral countries have the
right to ship foodstuffs and cotton in
unlimited quantities through the neu-
trial ports of northern Europe to the
noncombatant Inhabitants OF Germany
and Austria
The congress OF the United States
slept over the right of shippers of
epodstuffs last winter. This was, per
knps, because the prices we're good,
perhaps because we did not investi.
gate the subject. The lawlessness oi
