GREEK CABINET
NEARING CRISIS
Rigid Blockade by Allies
Is Forcing Hand of
SkOulOudis.

Athens, June i7.-Fears that the
Skouloudis Cabinet cannot long stand
the pressure caused By the continued
strictness Of the Entente Allies block
ade against Greek ports are growing In
government circles. Rumors are rife
that the Entente's ultimatum, expected
to be delivered Monday, may present
as an alternative to compliance with
its demands, the rupture Of diplomatic
relations between the Entente Allies
and Greece.
Lack of breadstuffs on the outer ISL
ands of Greece and in the not readily
accessible parts Of the kingdom is al
ready causing disturbances, although
the government insists that the avail
able wheat supply at Piraus is sut-
ficient for more than a month.
The demands Of the Allies are being
considerably strengthened and extend
cd because Of anti-Entente demonstra-
tions in Athens Monday. They were
ready for presentation when the disor-
ders occurred.
Premier Skouloudis is sending out
confidential instructions to govern
ment officials and army officers TO coun-
teract the effects of the order de-
mobilizing the army.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
URGES BETTER DISTRIBU-
4 TION OF FOOD

Washington, Dec. 8.-Eforts to
reduce the cost Of living through in
creased production and better distri-
button of the country's food are de-
tailed in the annual report of Secre-
tary Houston, of the department OF
agriculture, made public today. The
report also devotes considerable atten-
ton to the pure food law and urges
on congress the necessity of strength
ening it to permit Standardization of
foods and drugs and inspection of
foods and drugs factories.
Records of the department, the re-
port sets forth, show that except for
meat and dairy products the per zap
ita production of the leading food
commodities in the United States has
remained about the same despite the
rapid growth of population. Statistics
presented cover a period of sixteen
years. The population has increased
in that time SO per cent. There is
ground for optimism, the report says,
as to the ability of the nation not only
to supply itself with food but increas-
ingly to meet the needs of the world.

The statue was ordered two years
ago, but Mrs. Taft's plans were not
made known. Mrs. Frederick Aims,
widow of wealthy merchant and ev-
soldier, had entered into negotiations
with Gutzon Borglum for Lincoln
statue as gift to the city, but there
was a hitch in the negotiations and
Mrs. Taft secured the other statue.

bandits are performing daring raids
to the north and south of Chihuahua
city apparently without fear of cap
ture by the Carranza forces. The
Villistas defeated the Carranza forces
under General Herrera near Fresno.
General Murguia refused to send help
to Herrera, fearing that Villa was try

1t is reported here that Durango, the
capital of the state by that name, has
fallen into the hands of the Villa
forces. The bandits robbed train
near Callego yesterday, getting $4,000

ROUMAN|ANS
ARE INUNDATED
BY DEFEAT
Sentiment Among Entente is That
The Central Powers Prestige
Will Be Strengthened

I With Bucharest lost the Rumanians
Eare retiring all along the line in the
province of Wallachia, fighting rear
fguard actions as they retreat. The
main point of interest in what re-
mains of this campaign is the fate of
the Rumanian armies. Apparently
there has been no wholesale bag of
prisoners as yet, at least, by Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's troops.
Petrograd's statement announcing
the evacuation of Bucharest and the
retirement of the Rumanians who
were holding off the Danube army
south of the capital, propably indi-
Gated that an attempt was made to
move virtually the entire Rumanian
force in the Bucharest region north
eastward towards Moldavia before the
entrance of the Teutonic troops into
the capital.
What measures of success has been
attained in this operation has not yet
developed. The ninth German army
is pressing eastward north of Bucha-
rest at rapid rate, its main line of
advance probably being along the rail-
way line to Buzeu from Ploechti
Berlin says 5000 Rumanians were
taken in yesterdays fighting. 1t has
been assumed in most entente head
quarters that there was no Gast
stand" by the Rumanians before
their capital and such news as has
trickled through from German
sources indicates that Bucharest was
virtually deserted when the Teutonic
forces entered.
The city is said to have been found
Iuninjured. Military commentators in
entente capitals point to the proba-
bility that the actions just prior to
the capture of Bucharest were fought
merely with a view to delaying the
advance of Field Marshal Won Mack
ensen's forces and aiding the main
body of Rumanians to escape.
German opinion is to the effect that
the Rumanians will abandon all Wal
lachia, the main portion of Rumanian
territory and retire to Moldavia where
their front would be materially short
ened and where they would be in close
touch with the Russians. The total
captures of Rumanians by the forces
of the Central powers are reported to
have been 100000 men.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-Overtures to he

turn for progressive support were
made today following a conference Of

Permanent progressive advance
through the democratic party is int-
possible, statement said, in announce
ing that a national conference Of pro-
gressives and progressive republicans
is to be called within four months IN
the hopes of bringing about reorgan-
ization of the republican party.
The first step toward providing
progressive representation in the par
ty, it was suggested, could best be
brought about by giving the present
republican campaign committee fhe
functions of the executive committee.
"The result of the election has
shown that the only hope of victory
for any political party in America lies
in the support of the progressive vot-
ers," the statement says. "In spite Of
certain progressive achievements, the
merit of which we do not question, it
is clear to US that permanent pros
gressive advance through the demo-
cratic party is impossible. But the re.
publican party must be thoroughly
progressivized in organization, Lead
ership and principles.
eve propose to join with other pro-
gressives in calling national con-
ference of progressives and progress
ive-republicans to be held during the
next four months.
An immediate practice step toward
progressive representation would be
to give the present campaign commit
tee in the republican party organiza-
ton the functions of the executive
committee consists of ten regular re-
lpublicans and six former progressives.
This would give the progressives
votes as we'll as voices in the party
council. Nothing less could be accept
ed as first step toward securing the
confidence of the progressive voters
Of the country"
