CREEK SENTIMENT
FOR WAR GROWING

Athens, Nov 23.-It is learned that
while the suggestion OF Aristide
BRAND, the French premier, that Kine
Constantine recall former Premier
Venizelos is meeting with opposition
in Athens. sentiment In favor of the
king accepting the other principal
suggestion, namely, that he declare
war on Bulgaria. Is growing.

service one, II is understood to be the
opinion OF the king that II should be
replaced by cabinet representing at
least the present legislative assembly.
Therefore. the resignation of the
ministry Is under consideration. to
be followed by re-organized Kalo-
geropoulos cabinet along lines infor.

LONGEST REIGN ON RECORD
Francis Joseph Assembled the Throne
Dec. 2, 1S4S.

London, Nov 23-It is doubtful II
in all history there has been an active,
authenticated reign longer than that
closed by the death Of Francis Joseph.
When nineteen years old he ascended
the throne of Austria, on abdication
of his uncle, Ferdinand l., Dec. 2, 1s4S.
Tradition says that Pharaoh ruled
for nmety-nine years, and there is the
more credible instance OF Rameses H.,
Desostris of the Greeks, whose reign
is reputed to have covered sixty
years.
But in recorded history there has
been no reign equal In period of time
of that OF the Hapsburg, which has
just closed Louis XIV. OF France was
nominally king for seventy-two years.
He actually occupied the throne for
little more than half a century.
closer rival, and the only one OF mod
ern times, was Queen Victoria, who
reigned sixty-four years.
Francis Josephs reign was as event.
full as it was long. From his imperial
vantage point he saw the French mon
archy go down, the Second empire
rise and crumble, the Commune flare
briefly. and the republic of today rise
on its ashes, he saw the black pinions
of the Prussian eagle stamped on the
flag OF the new German empire-later
to tower threateningly over Austria II
self; he saw the papacy shorn of its
territorial demesne, while a pickering
family of petty principalities was
welded into united Italy; he saw
Spain, once the greatest of colonial
powers, lose the last of her depend
encies in two oceans; he saw Japan
opened to Western civilization and
later defeat the sprawling Colossus OF
two continents; he saw the most abso
lutte despotisms-R Russia. Turkey and
Persia-concede representation to the
people: he saw at a distance the
United States cement its federation
with the blood of great internecine
war, and he saw his own brother prove
that monarchy could not take new root
on American soil

HIGH COURT MAY
GET CASE EARLY

Washington. Nov. 23. - The consti-
tutionality of the Adamson wage act
may be determined by the supreme
court before Jan. 1. when 1t becomes
effective, through an understanding
between the railroads Of the country
attacking it and the department OF
Justice.
Attorneys for the Pennsylvania, New
York Central and Burlington roads
conferred here with Attorney General
Gregory and Solicitor General Davis,
and it was understood the question
was discussed of making a test case
OF one or the suits with q view 10
bringing the law before the supreme
court as soon as possible.
Although department officials were
reticent about the conference. It Is be.
lieved further negotiations will be un.
dertaken at once, and that there is
prospect OF an agreement which would
put the issue on one case.
A decision by the supreme court
would not In law be binding on other
litigants, but II the railroads and the
department agreed that all parties
should abide by decision In this case
no other suits would be begun and
those already instituted would be
dropped.

1T is far from being an agreeable
duty for a Judge to record a conclu

Upon the merits OF case the gov

from a court greater consideration
than is required by the settled rules

quest by the department OF justice to
aid the progress of case consistently
with the rights of everyone cannot be

considerations.
Upon a consideration of the Adam
