VEN|zELOS ISSUES
PROCLAMATION TO
PEOPLE OF GREECE
Former Premier Is Joined
By Noted Admiral in De-
mand That Central Pow
ers Be Expelled

London, September 2S.-In a dispatch
from Athens, Reuters correspondent
says a telegram has been received
there from Cananea giving the sum
mary Of the proclamation of pro-
visional government by former Pre-
mier Venizelos and Admiral Coundour
iotis. The main points of the docu-
ment. says the correspondent. constf-
tue a comparison of the Greece of to-
day with the Greece of 1928.
THE application of the personal poll
icy of the sovereign, a victim of bad
counsels," the proclamation says, has
resulted in a approachment with
Greece's hereditary enemies, the vio-
lation of the constitution, internal an
archy and isolation and contempt for
Greece, which the allies consider hos
tile because she refused the servians
the facilities accorded the Bulgars
THE victorious army of 1928
abandons the territory conquered by
the nations blood, the population is
fleeing before the invaders sent to
Germany by way of Sofia and patriots
are regarded as traitors.
To-day is not the moment to estab-
lish the responsibility. Our duty is to
save what there is still time to save.
To attain this it is essential to estab-
lish national unity by an immediate
return to the policy dictated by the
national conscience, namely, range our
selves on the side of the allies and
Servians to expe1 the invaders.
1T would be happy event if at the
eleventh hour the King should decide
to take the lead of the national forces.
In contrary event it is our duty to
do the thing to save the country from
threatened ruin. We are entering the
struggle convinced that the nation, in
dependently of the state. will accom-
plish the miracle and bring the coun-
try back to the status of IS months
ago.

German Premier Holds
Out No Hope for Peace

Berlin, September 2S.-(via London.)
The speech of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg in the Reichstag today
contained no peace proffers, which he
declared would be useless in view of
the attitude of the entente allies There
was no intimation in the speech either
of a resumption of the submarine war
fare.
The chancellor scathingly arraigned
England as Germanys relentless and
INSCRIPTIONS foe and declared that
statesmen who refrained from using all
possible weapons against such an enc
my owing to sentiments of consider
alton or a desire to keep open a basis
for a future understanding deserved
to be hanged.
The chancellor announced in his per-
GRAFTON, his firm determination to car
ry through many reforms in the state
organization which the great masses,
by their conduct of the war, had earned
and deserved.

New York. September 8.-(Special. }
Honestly, fellows, some of us ought to
offer a protest. l mean some of us
southerners who live, or visit in New
York. Matters are fast reaching a pass
which is unbearable to the young south
ron whose intentions are honest.
Such is the reptuatio we have, in some
strange and unaccountable way, acquired
that women here, of all ages, believes
that we are born love makers; that we
are waiting and eager to make love of
the most seemingly desperate character
to anything that wears stockings, and
at the same time they are convinced
that we never mean a word Of it
In other words, they seem to believe
that we do such things as a matter of
habit and natural tendency Personally,
L m wore out with it ALL mean this
continual smile and "Oh, so you're from
the south: | know you southern men,"
You see that's our cue to get busy.
It's expected of us, and if we really
have honest Intentions you could never
make New York girl believe in them
No, sir, they think we're born love kid
ders, and the funny part of it all is, the
situation here today is one calculated
to work us overtime. What? Oh, I've
heard lot of the southern visiting men
talk about it, and they ought to know.
When one of these girls gets off that
Il know you southern men," she is
already leaning in your direction, and
it's up to you to brace yourself for it
and receive her, or back out like a mis-
cradle, whipped cur. And suppose you
have wife back home; you can't help
being a southerner, can you? Well, yet
the wife's view point and that of the
New York girl will invariably be entirely
different as to what you will or will not

The fussy old gentleman asked the

tobacco is poisonous habit. Does he
frequent clubs?"

oner and one cannon and II machine
guns were captured.
In Galicia the Germans west of Kras-
nolesie also pushed forward their lines,
while in the Carpathians attacks by the
Russians were REFUSED in hand-t hand
fighting.
1900 GERMANS TAKEN
The Russian general staff announces
that since General Brussiloff began his
offensive 100000 officers and men of the
and 600 cannon and $500 machine guns and
mine throwers have been captured,
Around Petroseny and Hermannstadt in
Pennsylvania, the Teutonic allies and the
Rumanians are engaged in bitter fight
ing, but with no important result having
been attained by either side. The situa-
ton in the Dobrudja region is I'M
changed.
On the Macedonian front Paris reports
the repulse of Bulgarian attacks on both
sides of Florina. There have been bonn
bardments by the British of positions of
the allies of the central powers by land
batteries IN the vicinity OF Dolran ana
by warships in the Aegean sea.
Aside from an infantry attack by the
Austrians in the upper Cordevole val
ley, which Rome says was repulsed, only
artillery duels have taken place in the
Austro-Italian theatre.
Greece's entry into the war on the side
OF the entente allies has not yet been
announced An unofficial dispatch from
Athens gives the text of the proclama-
ton of provisional government in Crete
by former Premier Venizelos and Ad-
miral Coundouriotis, which declares that
if the King should decide not to take
the lead of the national forces lit is our
duty to do the needful thing to save
the country from the threatening ruin.

! ers, they constantly reminded their Ger
man adversaries of their presence
Across the wide plateau scarcely a move
ment could be seen, although tens Of
thousands of men were there ready at
any moment to start an attack.
The process of destroying the barbed
wire expended almost fabulous quantities
of shells, as many as 100 of them being
necessary for the destruction of a single
square yard of the entanglements
The French prepared the way for their
adversary thoroughly, knowing the dini-
cuties of the country where the Ger
mans had chosen to oppose them Every
foot of the German works was swept
with proiectiles before a single file of
French soldiers was permitted to go over
the top OF the trenches.
FRENCH LEARN LESSON
The French have learned the lesson
of sparing lives since the beginning of
the war. They have, however, retained
all their old dash when once given the
word to engage the Germans, whether
in the open or in an attempt on forth
fed positions AS the French now occupy
the highest crests, it is difficult for the
Germans to inflict much damage on
them with their artillery which has been
deprived of it's vision by the acknowl-
edged superiority of the allied air SER
vice. They Use observation balloons, ow-
ing to the vigilance of The allied flyers.
Naval guns haze taken an important
part in the present offensive During the
entire day only two German aeroplanes
showed themselves near the allied line
in this sector to see anything and they
remained only one or two minutes, for
Immediately they were observed a dozen
entente Allied machines chased them
back eastward.
The naval guns have been found of
enormous value, owing to their range.
They are mounted on railroad trucks
in the most efficient manner and are
extremely mobile for transfer from one
point to another on the front. The
French seamen, besides, are now using
many of the waterways in this district
along which they approach the German
positions in armored boats carrying big
ships guns with which they do great
damage.
Behind the lines everything is carried
on with such organized efficiency that
the impression created is that war is an
ordinary condition of the country.
