MORNING F0as ON RIVER.
Thick Mist, in Early Hours, Maker
Navigation Slow.

For the past three or four mornings
thick fogs have covered the river for
many miles and have given the steam.
boat and vessel masters something to
think about as they navigated their
craft through it.
This morning the fog was unusually
heavy and covered not only the river,
but spread far inshore, particularly in
the country. The steamboat men say
the fog began to form about am,
sha+ grs.t nate haS - H. sx.r 81 saii in
running through it.
At o'clock the river and country
about this city was still covered by
the mist cloud. Soon after the warm
run rays began to dry up the mist and
within an hour or two it was gone.
Rivermen look for fogs each morning
at this season, when. the air Is much
colder than the water.

Rebels Are Declared to Have
Proclaimed a Provisional
Government.
ENTENTE DIPLOMATS
SPURN GREEK CABINET
King Discusses Way of Breaking
Glacial Silence-Demand on Ger
many to Free Troops Is Firm.

LONDON. September PA revolution
IN the Greek island Of Crete is reported
in Havas dispatch from Athens. The
rsvolutionists are said to have pro-
claimed provisional government.
Several revolutionary outbreaks in
Greece have been reported since the en-
trance of Rumania into the war and the
occupation by the Bulgarians of the
eastern sportion OF Greek Macedonia,
which resulted In an agitation In favor
of participation by Greece in the war.
Last month revolutionists obtained con-
troll of parts of Greek Macedonia near
Saloniki and proclaimed provisional
government. The movement was said
TO be extending. but further news was
WITHHELD by the censor.
4 The island of Crete, $50 miles long.
with n population of something more
than 100000. is in the eastern Mediter-
ranean. sixty miles from the southern
extremity Of Greece. 1t is the former
home Of ex-Premier venizelos. Under
the treaty of peace between Greece and
Turkey in 1913 the island was annexed
by Greece.
Ignore Greek Cabinet.
The diplomatic representatives of the
entente powers continue their policy Of
not recognizing the existence of the
new cabinet of Premier Kalogeropoulos
by abstaining from paying formal
visit to the new minister.
King Constantine has discussed the
question of furthering declarations by
the new cabinet in the hope Of break
ing the glacial silence Of the entente
and resuming the negotiations for the
entrance Of Greece into the war.
An Official of the Greek foreign Office
visited the sentente diplomatists at
Athens yesterday. says Reuter- dis
patch from the Greek capital, and is
y matter of form to recognize the new
cabinet. adding that the cabinet would
subsequently resign IL such a course
were considered Inevitable.
Firm Demand on Germany.
Reater's Telegram Company says it,
learns that the Greek note to- Germany
- e arm demand that the Greek troops
be brought to the Swiss frontier, so
that they may be conducted to Greece.
The Greek government guarantees they
will not be forced to serve with any
enemy OF Germany. and at the same
time dixavows entirely the action Of
Gen. Hadjopoulos, who, 1t is claimed.
disFsgarded orders to transport his
troops to another Greek port.
TIE Greek forces Transferred from
Kavafa TO Germany will be lodged at
GoerIitx, town OF Prussian Silesia,
sayks,he Overseas News Agency. The
force is composed OF 400 ofi1cers and
Goes men. The officers will be dis

A Valuable Discovery

The jujube tree. which bears a
heavy crop of brownish fruit; which
is delicious when fresh and when
dried offers a CONNECTION very similar
In taste to the Persian date, is prob
ably the most important discovery
made during the third expedition into
China by the Agricultural Depart
ment's plant explorer. This tree Is Of
particular interest to the department
because 1t can Withstand cold and
drought and neglect. The section In
which it Is productive in China is a
semi-arid belt where winter tempera-
lures do not go much below zero Fab
renheit. This indicates that 1t would
be of particular value to Texas, Cali
fornia. New Mexico, Arizona, southern
Utah, and perhaps even farther north.
Already, several thousand seedlings
have been grown at the Plant Intro
duction Garden at Chico. Cal, from
the specimens sent to this country,
and some of these have borne desir-
able fruit, which confirms the expert
mentors in their belief that this tree
may contribute new fruit industry
to the sections indicated.
