 T know what you are thinking" he continued finally. you are wrong For those of our allies who have remained faithful, we have no reproach. They came to our aid too late to save us. But they came. They were not or ganized for war, nor ruled over by soldiers. Had they been so organized. so ruled, perhaps they would have been able to save us.
 Civilization cannot be made an en- zine of war and perfected to forsee every contingency It is inherent in liberty, it acts slowly, clumsy perhaps. but this very slowness and clumsiness constitute the strength of free peo- pies. Their triumph is long in com ing, but none the less sure.
 And Greece, your majesty?"
 For while the king did not an swer, seeming unwilling to touch on this subject.
 As for our ally, Greece" he re- piled at length. she was understood differently from us. Her interests are in the Balkans, but outside of ner refusal to participate in the war she has in other respects fulfilled the duties of friend and neighbor Today we are the guests of the Greek people and we are grateful for their hospitality"
 The old man fell silent Evidently 1he effort to talk had been a severe strain. The doctor made a sign to the correspondent. but King Peter gathered strength for a final word With a single gesture he brushed away tenderly the restraining touch of an aide de- camp. He bent forward his broad, square, short fingered peasant hands, clenched to strike sharply the arms of the chair in em. phasis, and shouted the words:

It was for that l fought throughout my manhood 1 It has become the faith of the twi- light of my life. 1 only live to sec Serbia free. l pray God to let me live until the day of the redemption of my people.

 It is reported at Havre. says the Journal des Debats, that Adolphe Max, former burgomaster of Brussels, who was arrested by the Germans shortly after the outbreak of the war and later taken to Germany, has been liberated and sent to Switzerland. The military governor of Brussels announced the arrest of Burgomaster [ Max in the latter part of September,
 1914, in a public poster, which said:
 'I have found myself obliged to sus- pend Burgomaster Max from his office on account of his irreconcilable atti- tude. He is now in honorable custody

AEDEPSOS, Island of Euboea, Feb. 16.- (Via Paris)AKing Peter of Serbia received a correspondent of the Associated Press this morning. Hidden away in this almost inaccessible spot, bent under his 72 years, disillusion- ments and sufferings, physically brok- en, virtually blind, his crown gone. his native land overrun by ancient enemies, the exiled sovereign gently clings to life in the hope of partic- ipating in the ultimate triumph of his countrymen
 The sorest trials have not dimmed the spirit or clouded the intellect of the king. He spoke with the same determined courage that character ized him when he led his soldiers to victory over the Turks, and analysed 1 the causes and meaning of the war with the cold logic of the man who translated John Stuart Mill into Ser bian.
 Though still feeble from the effects of heart breaking marches through Albania, and unable to walk without assistance, he retains the keenest mental activity and a striking cheer mess in the face of the disaster which i has overtaken his family and country. T have long wanted very much to speak from the botto moi my heart to the great heart of America, which is so deeply moved over the fate of Serbia and has done so much for our | unhappy people,. he said Tt seems , to me that somehow your compat- ! riots have been able to divine in the struggles of people. simple and rugged, but stubbornly individualistic. the same sacred fire which inspired the first Americans 400 years ago to leave Europe to erect in the wilder | ness of America a home fro freedom. They knew us. We speak the same , language of liberty
 And those of your compatriots who have come to us as doctors, nurses the American Red Cross and the Serbian Relief and Sanitary Commis- slons-all these brave young people, who have given so gladly their young lives to fight typhus and the sicken- 1 ing effects of shells and epidemics.
 
 i Serbian soil-was it not they who . brought to us the soil of a kindred people from America?
 Above all, today, when thousands of Serbian women and children. un- able to flee, remain there; deprived of everything; dependent for bread and shelter upon the enemies of their country, it is they, your compatriots. who at this moment have set to wort to succor the unfortunates, who have , lost all, who have need of all" i The aged king leaned forward, fixed the correspondent with wide open. al- most sightless eyes: May God in his mercy reward your country" he cried. and, leaning back in his chair closed his eyelids, remaining long si- lent, IS one dreaming

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Leon who is being sought by the federal au- thorities on the charge of using the
 mails in an oil stock swindle, ap-
 peared here today before a United States commissioner as a witness in the bankruptcy proceedings against her husband.
 Mrs. Lyman said she met Lyman for the first time in 1914 in Paris
 where she was living with her first husband, a British officer. She was divorced soon afterward and came to this country in Febrcary, 1915. She said Lyman never told her much about his business affairs and gave
 her little money.
 Mrs. Lyman returned only last Tues day from trip to England, and de- clared that the news of her husbands disappearance, which was first com municated to her upon her arrival here, was a great shock. She heard | from him only twice while abroad, she | added. Lyman left behind sable overcoat for which he was said to have paid s15,0O0.
 1 Louis B. ThOrnet, who was employed | in the offices of John H. Putnam
 and company, the firm name under
 which Lyman operated here, and who
 was arrested after the firms collapse,
 was surrendered today by a surety
 company which went on his bond of | sl0,000 The court then reduced the ! bail to 5000, but Thornet failed to
 furnish it and was sent to the Tombs
 No explanation was given by the surety
 company for it's action.
