CLAMORING FOR WAR

Athens, Aug. 31-Resignation of
the cabinet is foreshadowed by the in
creasing war clamor. following Rou-
msnia's joining the allies.
More than so, 1000 persons took part
in a pro-entente demonstration before
the residence of former Premier Vent
zelos, shouting for war against the
central powers.
These resolutions were passed and
sent to King Constantine:
by these resolutions, We, the peo-
pie, advise the monarch that he has
fallen a victim of evil advisers who
seek to nullify the results of the revo-
luton OF 1909 and achieve a return to
the former state of misgovernment.
I'VE, the people. by this demonstra-
ton declare we do not approve the
course recently followed and insist on
dismissal from around the kings per
son of the present sinister advisers.
IF we, the people. are not heard in
these, our resolutions, we u take
counsel what Is to be done to mini
mize the ruin which awaits us"

HOPE TO MOVE FOOD TRAINS
New York Rail officials Preparing for
Strike.

New York, Aug. 31.-Railroad traf-
fc, both to and from New York city,
shows feverish activity in anticipation
of a general strike. 1t is estimated
that before Sept. 4, the date of the
threatened tieup, this city will rid
itself OF a floating population of nearly
$685. 600 and receive home about the
same number of residents who have
been on vacation.
Unless the situation changes radi-
cally IL is expected the other Eastern
railroads will follow the example of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford and declare a freight embargo
10 take effect Sept. 4.
Railroad executives here expressed
hope hat If a strike were called they
could run enough food trains to keep
the city from privation. The city's
milk supply companies have been or
ganizing to meet the situation ever
since the strike became imminent.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 31.-Midweek re-
ceipts Of cattle were of moderate pro-
portions, some 1900 head arriving.
compared with 1890 a week ago and
2,423 head the corresponding day a
year ago.
The fact that a railroad strike is
threatened tended to make stock
buyers very slow in their purchasing
of fresh receipts today and acted
against the market in that division
of trade, all but strictly good kinds
ruling lower and in slow demand.
Fat cattle sold about steady on early
rounds although medium and plain
kinds were weak.
Hog trade opened in good strong
tone and market was mostly strong
TO loo higher, with the best of the
light butchers landing at S1O.75.
Strong to 10c higher was the YER
diet from the sheep barns, and best
of the native lambs landed at $3.50,
with native ewes up to $3.50.

PECAN GROWERS WILL
MEET IN ALBANY TO-DAY

The successful marketing of the pc,
can crop in this section is becoming a
question of vital Importance to the
growers. Investigations have been
going on for some time in the various
sections of the country with the aim
of being able to devise a plan looking
to the successful marketing of the
crop. To this end Messrs. Fl. w.
Smithwick and s. S. Hotchkiss, of the
National Pecan Growers Co., will
journey to Albany today to take part
in the deliberations of the National Pc
con Growers exchange, which con-
venes in that city, and for the pur-
poses above mentioned.
Primary or tentative plans have
already been outlined, but it will re-
main for this meeting to take definite
action. The plans as suggested pro
vides that each grower turn over his
nuts to the exchange, they will be
graded and in this way it is hoped to
receive a uniform price for each
grower.
The growers may depend upon the
Times-Recorder to give them other in
formation along this line from time
to time.
