WILL FIGHT TEUTONS
GREEK REBELS DECLARE WAR
AGAINST CENTRAL POWERS.
King Constantine Ordered to Surren-
der Arms to the Entente
Allies.

Athens, Nov. 27.-The provisional
government set up by former Premier
EleutheriOs VenizeiOs, following his re-
volt from the neutrality policies of
King Constantine, formally declared
war against Germany and Bulgaria.
YenizelOs, since the start of the war,
has been a vigorously prO-ally and an
ardent adherent of Greeke's entry into
the war on the side of the allies. His
constant fight against King COnstan-
tines efforts to keep Greece out of the
war led to the establis lment of the
provisional government on the Island
of Crete some weeks ago.
Before this, at the Greek elections,
Venizelos apparently obtained support
from the people, but he failed to
move the monarch to any change
The entente allies, acting through
Admiral du Fournet, commander of the
allied feet gathered here, have given

matum requiring the delivery of the

sists of ten batteries of mountain
guns. The ultimatum says that fail
ure TO deliver before December l will
result ''in measures being taken by
the admiral" The rifles must be sur
rendered before December IS.
The ultimatum is the result of h
previous demand of the allies for the
arms and the decision of the crown
council to refuse.
Admiral On Fournet's note, diplo-
mats of the entente powers say, re-
views the arguments of the Greek gov
eminent. justifying this refusal to sur
render arms, refers again to Frances
proposal TO pay for the arms or replace
them after the war, declares that the
entente powers do not make the de-

armament, but because they feel that
the war materials in Greece would be
better employed in defending Mace

A dispatch, sent by Reuters Athens
correspondent, says that it Is stated in
circles close to the Greek court that
any attempt TO obtain possession OF
Greek arms and ammunition will meet
with resistance.

SAVING OFFERS.

In France q man is offered al.
most rs many ways Of saving his
money as Of spending it, and the
saving offers are made as per-
sistently and enthusiastically as
the spending offers.
This may be considered an oa.s-
growth Of the noted thrift Of the
French people, or it may be de-
velopment that in itself has con-
tributed not little to that thrift.
People the most Of us-are cas-
lily led. A mere suggestion is
very likely to start q habit, if it is
a suggestion that appeals to our
preconceived notions of what we
really ought or ought not do.
Just imagine how it would be if
man with his weeks salary in
his pocket could be presented
with. as many enticing offers to
save as he ordinarily is presented
with offers to spend. We know
we really ought to save money,
but the suggestions along that
line are not nearly so numerous
as the suggestions the other way.
Consequently the most Of us
spend a good share of the money
we could and should save.
It would be a good idea if every
salaried man had printed on his
pay envelope, in place where he
could not fail to see it, this or
some other kindred fact:
