French Take Issue With King.

PARIS, Jan. 20.-An interview Civ
en- the Paris correspondent of the AS
sociated Press today by the highest
French authority replies to the state
ment given out by King Constantine at
Athens, and intended for circulation
in the press of the United States. This
Interview, which bears the stamp of
French official approval, denies the
existence of a paralalel between the
Invasion of Belgium and Luxembourg
by Germany and the temporary occu-
patton of portions of Greece by forces
Of the Entente Allies. These troops,
it is asserted, only entered Saloniki
to aid Greece's ally, Serbia, thereby
taking up the treaty obligations of
Greece, when that nation had failed
to eeven attempt to fulfill them itself.
The assertion that Germany and
Austria have established submarine
bases in Greece is maintained by this
authority, who says a Teutonic cam
paign in the Mediterranean would be
impossible without such bases. Fur
ther, according to this official, the
sympathies of the Greece people re-
main upon the side of the Entente, and
with former Premier Venizelos, who
is referred to as the Entente Allies
friend In support of this assertion,
recent Greek elections at which Veni-
zolos advised his followers to abstain
from participation, are cited. These
election failed to poll even a respecta-
BILE portion of the Greek electorate, ac-
cording to the French authority quot

FOUR THOUSAND
LOOSE IN MEXICO

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 20.-About four
thousand malcontents are reported as
operating near Torreon, one of the
lasrgest industrial cities in northern
Mexico. The disturbers are shouting
for Felix Diaz, and declaring that all

to be killed.
Much property has been stolen and
carried off by these rowing bands, and
. state of great disorder prevails in
the whole community about Torreon,
where only three hundred Carranza
troops ore quartered. Large iron in
dustries located there make Torreon

ticipated.
News that Carranza as declared Villa

to execute him without trial, has been
received here with mixed feeling of

Wronged her before marriage This so
incensed Hires that he Immediately
shot Garden to death, using shotgun
which happened to be in the room at
the time. The couple first planned 10
tell the story just related by Mrs

affair secret, in order to avoid further
exposures that would be humiliating

father of Hires girl bride When con-
fronted with his wife's statement to-
day Hires unhesitatingly admitted the
facts contained therein, though he was
not present when Mrs. Hires made
her confession.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hires, neither of whom
have been arrested, told Sheriff Boyd
they would appear before the Colqun

ATHENS, Jan. 2O.-King Constan-
tine of Greece, on last Thursday sent
for the Associated Press correspon-
dent at Athens, and asked to be per-
r1itted to make a protest through the
agency of the press of the United
States against recent operations un-
dertaken by troops of the Entente AL
lies at Saloniki, and other points in
Greek territory. The Hellenic mon.
arch referred in detail to the blowing
up of the Demird-Hissar bridge by
French army engineers and the occu-
patton of Corfu and other Greek is
lands by Entente military forces, as
acts against which the Greek gov
ernment most earnestly protests.
In conversation with the Associated
Press correspondent King Constantine
paid high tribute to the Associated
Press, and declared the American
press, as represented by this great
gathering agency, presents the
Lly adequate means whereby to voice
a protest against actions taken by the
Entente Allies. In this connection
hing Constantine praised in highest
terms the attitude of the Wilson ad-
ministration toward the European war
and declared the American press to be
tie only forum of public opinion open
to the Greek people"
King Constantine declared the plea
Of military necessity" advanced by
the Entente authorities in defense of
their actions, can only be considered
along with the action of Germany in
1uthlessly invading Belgium and Lux
emburg, both of which small coun-
tries have been devastated by the ter
rible atrocities of war He further
declared that the talk of the Allies
ccndemning this action on the part of
German to be the merest cant in view
of what they have done and are now
doing in the Balkans and at other
points.
The Greek monarch denied there
exists any military necessity either for
vrecking the bridge at Demid-H -Hissar
or the occupation of Corfu both of
which have recently been accomplish
