WAR WORKERS WIVES
FLOUTED NEIGHBORS
Strike Follows. but Bayonne
Gets New AriStOCracy.

Edward NJ. Griffin, captain of de-
tectives in Bayonne, found out yester-
day the cause of strike which was
declared a week ago in the Bergen
port Chemical Company's plant, and
announced that it would be over by
to-day. Most of the employees OF the
chemical plant live in Constable Hook,
the captain discovered, where they
have for neighbors the employees OF
tho international Nickel Compare.
The employees Of the nickel cor pany
are getting 81 a day, their share Of
the war profits of the COMPANY, and
their wives, the captain was told, had
flouted the wives of the less prosperous
chemical workers. He said the en-
ployes Of the chemical plant were con-
vinced their concern had no war profits
TO chare, and it was likely that a new
aristocracy. the basis OF which would
be peace and not war, would come to
Constable Hook.

the Biblical law. Not until careful

Forced Her Into War,
Hollweg Tells the
Reichstag.

Berlin. Sept. 2s.-The Reichstas con-
vened to-day and the Imperial Chan
sellor. DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, de-
livered his eagerly awaited speech. lie
began by outlining the events when
led up TO the Italian and Rumaniar
declarations Of war He recalled that
the German Ambassador had left Rome
after Italys declaration against Aus
tria- Hungary, and that Germany had
announced that the Italians would find
German troops fighting with their
comrades on the
Italian frontier. He continued:
"Thus a state of war practically
existed, but a formal declaration of
war did not come till later. Italy
apparently was afraid Of the fateful
consequences which she would suffer
after the war in regard to her eco
nomic relations with US.
"On the other hand. Rome preferred
20 lay the blame for the declaration at
our QOOT. Dul loT uo bHtIt was NJ
reason to play Italy's game. Our tao
tics were justified BY the uninterrupted
efforts of the Entente Powers to cause
Italy to declare war.
For more than a year the Italian
government resisted Finally the meas
ures which England employs with
equal ruthlesness against neutrals and
her Allies were too strong. ltaly's war
fare depends upon English coal and
English money. Finally she had to give
in.
"The decision certainly was brought
about by British coercion, although
Italian hopes in regard to the Balkans
also exercised influence. Italy. as is
known. desires Balkan territories which
are within the natural sphere of Greek
interests. In orGer not TO be aban-
doned. Italy found it necessary to par
take in the expedition of General Sar-
rail (the Allied commander ct Sa-
lonica). and this caused an encounter
between Italian and German troops in
Macedonia"

CALLS WIFE'S KISSES
WORTH ONLY Sc A WEEK
Man Toasted ShinS While She
Got Wood, Her Complaint.

Mrs. Madeleine Williams, of q East
1st Street, Bayonne, had her husband,
Thomas, and a neighbor, Mrs. Ruth
Lynch, before Recorder Cain IN Bay
onne yesterday. Something would have
to be done, she declared; she had no
intention of putting in another winter
cleaning driftwood from the shores Of
Newark Bay while her husband toast
ed his feet in the oven preparatory to
treating Mrs. Lynch to jitney bus
ride.
Thomas's only defence was that his
wife had kissed him only twice since
May Is, which was no way to persuade
a husband TO give her more than So a
week. The Recorder placed both de-
PENDANTS under $500 bonds to keep the
peace and away from each other for a
wear.

Ex-Premier PrOclaimS
Provisional Govern
ment at Crete.
GIVES RULER LAST
CHANCE TO ACT
Cabinet Plans Demand for
Macedonia Evacuation
as Battle Prelude.

Athens, Sept. q (via London,
Sept. 2S).-King Constantine de-
cided this morning in favor Of an inn
mediate declaration of war against
Bulgaria. No public announcement
of the decision has been made, for
details remain to be worked out.
The programme agreed upon In
cludes an ultimatum to Bulgaria, de-
manding instant evacuation of all
Greek Macedonia, as well as plans
for mobilization under the difficult
conditions presented by the occupa-
ton of Greek territory by the En-
tente forces. The King this morning
discussed the mobilization problem
ninutely with General Mosohopoulos.
Chief of Staff, and General lana-
kitsas, former Minister of War. The
King probably will preside person
ally over a meeting Of the Crown
Council at noon tomorrow CThurs-
day..
Reports that a general mobiliza-
tion has been ordered are premature.
After the session of the Council Of
Ministers at the Palace this morning
Premier Kalogeropoulos hastily
called Cabinet meeting.
The Premier declared the govern
ment was giving the fullest consid-
GRAFTON to the situation, and said
there might be addressed to Bulgaria
a note of such a character that mob
ilization would logically follow.
Even the departure OF former Pre-
rIer venizelos from Athens created
nothing like the suppressed excite
r.ent evident everywhere this after
neon. The people feel that their long
period of expectancy is about to end
and the prospect ii war with the
Pulgarians apparently is welcome.
The departure from Athens of Ad-
miral Coundouriotis, besides causing
q deep impression on the King, has
completely upset the navy. The Greek
battleship Hydra and two torpedo
boats have left their anchorage with
the Greek feet and joined the Allied
feet in Salamis Bay.

Rocco Durazzo, a former soldier in

yesterday with reluctance, and under
the protection of a guard and prison
physician. He might have left three
months ago at the expiration of his
minimum sentence of three years, but
refused 70 quit his cell. He insisted
that the Black Hand would get him the
minute he left prison.
Durazzo was convicted OF carrying
concealed weapons in Brooklyn. His
excuse was that he feared violence at
the hands of band of his country
men. He refused all offers of assist
ance. Finally the prison authorities
agreed to ship him back to Italy.

ASSAILS LLOYD GEORGE
FOR MILITARY FRICTION
Morning Post Blames Minister;
Attack Is Held Unjustified.
[By C.ble 70 The Tribune ]

London, Sept. 28.-A bitter attack by
"The Morning Post" on Lloyd George
has stirred London.
"The Posts" intimations Of friction
between civilian and army officials are
considered unjustifed and due TO mis-
apprehension and overzealousness.
However, many believe it may serve
a good purpose in throwing the light Of
publicity upon unpleasant rumors,
widely spread, and clearing up the
whole situation.

London, Sept. 2s.-Driving northward
slowly but relentlessly, the British are
making ready for another surge ;ow-
ard Bspaume. They are moving along
two lines of attack-one north OF
Thiepval and the other north of Com
bles, seeking to pocket Bapaumo as
Comblcs was pocketed.
The battle continued without pause
to-day. Haig's troops in another heavy
attack won the greater part of re-
doubt 500 yards north Of Thiepvsl,
overlooking the northern bank OF the
Ancre. From this dominating position
the ground that separates Haig's line
from the Ancre can be sheped so ef-
fectively that its conquest is expected
to be comparatively easy. In this ac-
tion 500 prisoners were taken.
At the other end of the Northern
front. the British are now less than
half mile from lie Sars, which blocks
the way along the Albert -Bapaume
road. The Germans have made only
feeble efforts at counter attacks. for
they are occupied chiefly in construct
ing new defences to withstand the next
Allied assault.
German Line Is Strong.
Fierce fighting is certain to take
place before Bapaume. The Germans
hold a string line from Miramont TO
that objective and thence south TO Sail
~. The work preliminary to the new
battle is being completed rapidly.

Haig's artillery has caused great graft

Another encouraging feature of the

that the capture Of the German strong
holds was made at singulsrly low
cost. The total casualties did not ex-
ceed twice the number of prisoners.
1t is no secret that the early British

VeniZelOS PrOclaimS
Provisional Government

London, Sept 2S.-In a dispatch
from Athens, Reuters correspondent
says a telegram has been received there
from Csnea giving the summary OF
the proclamation of provisional gov
ernment by former Premier Venizelos
and Admiral Coundouriotis. The main
points Of the document, says the cor
respondent, constitute a comparison OF
the Greece of to-day with the Greece
of l9l2-19l3.
"The application of the personal
policy of the sovereign, a victim OF
bad counsels," the proclamation says,
"has resulted in a rapprochement with
Greece's hereditary enemies, viola
ton of the constitution, internal an
archy and isolation and contempt for
Greece, which the Allies consider hos
tile because she refused the Serbs the
facilities accorded the Bulgsrs.
Wrongs Are Recited.
"The victorious army Of 1912-1sl3
absndons the territory conquered by
the nations blood; the population is
fleeing before the invaders; war
material has been given the Bulgars;
Greek soldiers have been sent TO Ger
many by way of Sofia, and patriots are
regarded as traitors.
To-day is not the moment TO estsb-
lish the responsibility. Our duty Is
to save what there is still time 20 save.
To attain this il is essential 20 re-
establish national unity by an immedi-
ate return TO the policy dictated by the
national conscience, namely, range our
selves on the side Of the Allies and
Serbians 10 expel the invaders.
at would be a happy event II at the
eleventh hour the King should decide
TO take the lead of the national forces.
In contrary event it is our duty TO
do the needful 10 save the country
from the threatening ruin. We are
entering the struggle convinced that
the nation, independently Of the state.
will accomplish the miracle and bring
the country back TO the status Of
eighteen months ago.
