GREEKS ARE INDIGNANT
At ACTION Of ALLIES
Enter Energetic Protest Over 0ccu
patton of Fort on Karaburun
Peninsula.

ATHENS. January 80. via Paris, jan
uary 31.-High Greek officials are in
disnant over the occupation by the
French last week of the Greek fort on
the Karaburun peninsula. They say
the fortress was held by only eighty
Greeks. The French brought with
them to the fort three regiments each
Of infantry. artillery and cavalry with
out warning. After a short parley. and
in the face Of the overwhelming force,
the fortress was delivered up by the
Greeks.
The oficials express the belief that
the commandant will be court -martialed
for giving up the fort without instruc-
tions.
Declared Defensive Measure.
LONDON. January 31-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram Company from Sa-
loniki says:
IAN authoritative statement issued in
Greek fort on the karaburun PENN
sula says it was due to the fact that a
few days ago German submarine ap-
preached to within a few miles of the
entrance Of the channel leading to the
port of Saloniki and torpedoed a trans
port conveying large number of
mules. The transport was beached and
a majority Of the mules were saved.
This attack in Greek territorial
waters demonstrated to the entente
naval authorities the necessity Of ar
energetic policing of the coast to guar
antee full security to the numerous
warships and the still more numerous
transports dotting the gulf and road
stead of Saloniki, 1t being recognized
that it was impossible to allow enemy
transports to navigate with impunity
under the guns of Karaburun fort, and
thus be in a position to penetrate the
roadstead Of Saloniki.'

PASSING Of REPUBLIC
is SUBJECT FOR HUM0R
Chinese Monarchists Are Using the
Public Prints for Light
Commentary.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PEKING. December a5.--Chinese
monarchists are treating the passing
of the republic as a subject for humor-
Gus chaff. Editorials, poems and songs
discussing the republic lightly are now
the order of the day.
The following article from the Shun
Tien Shin Pao of Peking is typical of
the attitude of the monarchists to-
ward what they regard as the defunct
republic:
I'VE. the undutiful sons of Han. Man,
Meng. Hui and TsanE. beg to announce
to the public that, instead of ourselves
being destroyed and annihilated for
our own sins and wickedness, our
father Mr.. Kuang Ho, alias Min kuo
trepublic), has met with a tragic end.
Our father was born on the first day
of the first month of the Gregoran year
1912. He was known to be in excel
lent health, but unfortunately in the
summer of this year he was suddenly
attacked by a bad cold, which led to
the fatal illness. Renowned Chinese
doctors, as we'll as medical experts of
Japan. Great Britain, Russia. France
and Italy, were instantly consulted
American experts refusing to CO.
operate-but neither injections nor
prescriptions of these doctors did him
any good. His illness continued to de-
velop. and on the eleventh day of the
twelfth month he showed signs of dis
solution, and suddenly succumbed. He
passed away at 10 pm. on the twelfth
day. He closed his earthly career and
went to sleep at the mature age of
four.
Failed to Give Proper Treatment.
We. undutiful sons. who failed to
give proper treatment to our deceased
father, have drawn upon our family
great calamity. and We have stamped
the ground with our feet and shouted
our complaints to heaven in vain. In
deed, it is now impossible to bring
back our father even though we are
willing to sacrifice our lives a hun
took place we bound him up properly
and deposited his remains in a coffin,
and then wore badges of mourning. We
hereby announce that on the 18th in
slant the tablet of our late father
was placed in a shrine: on the 18th in
slant a funeral service will be held.
and on the 18th instant, at am, the
final interment will take place.
I'VE. the undutiful sons, beg to say
mains of our late father will be hon
ored by the presence of officials,
gentry. scholars, merchants and mill
tary men. We make the above an
nouncement with deep sorrow.
