last evening by the bleating notes Of
the whistle Of the Wilmington Steel

its new signal. which will displace its

noise and clamor is caused within the

investment Is too great TO be thrown
away" was the Welsh stateman's
slze-up Of the situation.
More than at any time since the
beginning of the war there Is evi-
denced throughout England a popu-
lar suspicion toward America, a suspi-
cion that did not exist year ago. This
feeling appears directly attributable
to the notion generally entertained
by the man on the streets that Presi-
dent Wilson might be induced to butt

European war A similar suspicion
OF Spain and the Vatican is also mani

Lloyd George was asked TO give the
United Press in the simplest possible
language the British attitude toward
the recent talk.
Simple language?" he queried.

moment.
Sporting terms are pretty we'll un-

By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
LONDON. Sept 2S.--Greece's army
of 100000 men. will be mobilized i'm
mediately to join the armies of the
Allies. said an unconfrmed Athens
dispatch today.
King Constantine was expected to
sign the mobilization decree within
forty-eight hours, Athens reported.
The government will then issue a
proclamation TO the people. denounc-
ing Bulgaria's occupation of Kavala
and other Greek ports. following this
with a declaration OF war.
The Greek legation today had no
confirmation of these reports. Diplo-
matte circles, however, heard a rumor
that Alexander Carapanos, Greek for
eign minister, and anti-Ally in his
sentiments. resigned following a
stormy session of the cabinet with
King Constantine. Presumably his
resignation followed the Kings re-
ported declaration TO range his armies
alongside the Allies.
Contradictory dispatches from
Athens left the situation greatly
clouded today. but it appeared prob
val at Crete, where he received an en-
thusiastic welcome, forced the hand
of the King. Venizelos caused a
proclamation to be given wide circula-
tiOn throughout Greece. offering the
King one more chance to join the
Allies. The alternative apparently
was a revolution.
The Greek battleshp Hydra and
the cruiser Psara are known TO have
joined the allied fleet in the Mediter-
ranean, under control OF the revolu-
tionists, said an Athens despatch. but
rumors that other naval units have
followed them are not confirmed. Sew
eral more Greek army officers arrived
at Salonika yesterday and offered
their services TO the Allies.

STEADILY TO WILSON
Organized Workers of Michigan and

Candidate.

Enthusiastic offers of support con-
headquarters from working men and
union leaders from every section of
the United States and from every
trade and industry. Not only will Presi-
dent Wilson get hundreds of thou
sands of votes from working men hith-
erto members Of the Republican party,
but thousands of wage-earners who

The latest Endorsement of President
Wilson by labor leader comes from
John H. Walker, president of the Illi-
