clare for war in favor of the Teutons as a result of the ultimatum sent King Constantine's government by the Allies. Dispatches from Salon. iki say that the Allies have landed four hundred thousand troops near Athens and are prepared to begin the bombardment of the city unless the Teutonic officials are sent out of the country. The British and French fleets are also reported to have taken up positions along the Gulf of Sa- loniki from which they can destroy the only railroad connecting Athens with Serbia and the central European powers.
 It is understood that the Allies plan to force Greece into the war has been urged by Lord Kitchener ever since his return to England from the near East, where he had gone to se- cure the aid of King Constantine's country in the Balkan campaign, but which was denied although other concessions were granted. Lord Kitchener, it is asserted, has repeat

BERLIN, Jan. 18.-Latest ad- vices from Athens say that the Allies save reached a decision that Greece must enter the war as an active par ticipant and that the Greek cabinet has received an ultimatum demand ing that the Teutonic ambassadors and other officials in Greece be given their passports. The advices state that the Allies have landed additional troops at points near Athens and have announced that the bombardment ot the city will begin unless the ulti- matum is promptly complied with. King Constantine has appealed to Germany for advice and has signified his intention of being guided by Elm peror William in his decision.
 The invasion of Greece by the AL lies and their determination to over throw the government of King Con- stantine has long been anticipated by Germany as their demands have been increasing ever since the beginning of the Balkan struggle. It is believ- ed here that the Allies will attempt to overthrow the government of Greece and will place former Premier Venizelos at the head of the govern ment. It was during the time that Venizelos was premier that permis- sion was granted the Allies to land troops at aSloniki, which action has finally eliminated in their demanding that Greece sever all diplomatic rela- ttons with the Teutonic nations,

 Military authorities here fear the effect of the Allies demands upon Greece and believe that their latest demands for the. dismissal of the Teu- tonic officials from Athens will cause the Greek cabinet to unhesitatingly refuse the demands and declare for war on the side of the Teutons The Greek army, which has been mobiliz- ed to a war footing of more than one million men, according to latest ad- vices received through diplomatic sources is now pro-German and would welcome the war as ending the long sustained suspense since the begin ming of the war.

SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-Chief of Po- lice Lang of this city showed that he is no respecter of persons in high places who violate the prohibition law which went into effect on January 1, when he caused hs men last night to raid the Rainier Club, Seattle's most fashionable resort for men.
 The chief had received a number of complaints that the Rainier Club was still dispensing drinks to its members and their friends as before the law went into effect, and he quiet ly organized a raid of the premises. A search of the club rooms revealed one hundred and fifty quarts of whis- key and twelve dozen bottles of wine, which were seized and taken to po- lice headquarters.
 The membership of the Rainier club is composed of the most promi- nent business and professional men of the State of Washington and in- cludes nearly every member of the state legislature as we'll as judges and other court officials. There are many millionaires on it's membership roll. Under the provisions of the prohi- bition law it is unlawful to give away liquor in public places and owners or lessees of the building in which the offense occurs are held responsible
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-01-18

for the violation of the law. Prose outing Attorney Lundin is confident that he will be able to secure a con- viction of the directors of the club, which will prevent their receiving permits to receive liquor in the fu- ture.
 The law prohibits the maintenance of clubs wherein are dispensed in- toxicating liquors, except in clubs where sleeping apartments are pro- vided, and the occupants of such apartments are allowed only the amount of intoxicating liquors speci- fled in the bill. Persons residing in clubs are allowed to give away liquor within the confines of their private living rooms only.
 Persons convicted for a violation of the law are subject to fine of not less than $50 nor more than $250, or by punishment in the county jail for not less than ten days nor more than three months, or by both such fine and imprisonment, for first of fense.
 The directors of the club have en- gagged the services of prominent at- torneys and will fight the case to pre- vent the stock of liquors, which they assert is the property of the individ- ual members of the club, from being confiscated by the police.

Those promoting the proposed or
ganizatiOn assert that the motion pic

to formulate its plan.
Action upon the censorship question

B0RAH AS A PEACEMAKER
IS AGAIN REGARDED AS
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY

Auditorium Hall, June 9.-After fin
ishing consideration of their platform,
section by section but without voting
for its final adoption, the progressive
convention recessed for lunch at 1908
until 3 p. m.
The conference committees are I'M
derstood to be watching the situation
to determine whether there is any use
to try again to get together. This de-
pended, it was said, on whether the
republicans went on with nominations
or desired further parleys.
A visit and speech by Senator Borah
was said by Mr.. Perkins to be another
sign of the friendly spirit between the
two conventions"
Mr.. Perkins said he could not know
what significance could be attached to
the senator's visit. Some leaders sug-
gested that Borah might be the COM
promise nominee suggested by the re-
publicans.
Anyway we're making a record for
ourselves that will set us right before
the country. No matter what the out
come, we've got 'em anyway" Perkins
said.
Without any preliminary announce
ment Senator William f. Borah en-
tered the Auditorium hall this after
! noon where the progressives were as
sembled in convention. He was escort
ed to the platform. A tremendous
ovation was given him.
Chairman Robins introduced Sen
ator Borah and the convention roarec
itself hoarse when the senator said hi
had not come officially.

than any other man to make the issues
of this campaign.
But let us bear in mind what these
two conventions do here will perhaps
decide the welfare of the United States
for the next quarter of century. We
can only insure ourselves by working
together in close cooperation. | do
not discourage your loyalty and en-
thusiasm to your leader, but l must
say it is essential that before we leave
this great city it should be definitely
determined that we will march and
fight together in this great conflict.
But if the two conventions agree
upon your great leader you will find no
more enthusiastic supporter than my
self"
Borah concluded, amid applause and
shouts of Roosevelt and Borah.
AS Borah shook hands with the
leaders on the stage and left the floor
hummed with excited discussion of his
dramatic visit.

On Result of
Peace Meet

Coliseum, Chicago, June 9.-The re-
port of the republican conferees of the
joint gressive-republican confer
ence was as follows:
ITO the republican national conven-
ton:
Your committee appointed pursu-
ant TO the resolution adopted at yes
terday's session met in conference with
a committee representing the national
progressive convention last evening.
That the progressive committee of con-
ference consisted of Messrs Perkins of
New York; johnson of California:
Bonaparte of Maryland; Wilkinson of
New York. and Parker of Louisiana.
THE conference was frank. free and
most friendly. The conferees were of
one mind in believing that the good of
the country and perhaps its repute
and influence for years to come, de-
ponds upon the complete defeat of the
present democratic administration and
the restoration of the control of exec
utive and legislative branches of the
government TO the hands of those who
firmly believe in, and will execute the
policies that are so heartily supported
by the republican and progressive
parties alike.
THE progressive conferees were
unanimous in urging with temperate
ness and fairness the opinion that The
odore Roosevelt of New York had so
! large personal following and such
a close personal relation to the issues
of the coming campaign as to make
him the most desirable candidate upon
which to unite.
at was agreed that your conferees
would report these facts to this con-
ventiOn.
Respectfully submitted,
