Catarrh Deafness Cannot BE Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There's only one way TO cure catarrh-
al deafness. and that is by a constitu-

caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucuous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed you
have a rumbling sound CT imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
flammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition

Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh. which is an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls

been insulted and discharged from
her job at the Bridgeport Brass shop

In city court today Rose Perrone,

FRENCH OFFICIAL1DEN
CHARGES OF GREEK KING

Paris, Jan. 20@Fhe highest French
authority takes the occasion of the
interview given by King Censta atine
to the Associated Press ta define the
friend1iness according to which
France has acted towards Greece and
to give certain facts concerning
Greece's course towards the Allies.
1.-THE Interview given by King Com
stantine to- the Associated Press said
this parsonage, recalls point by point
observations which show the gro uTId-
1essness of his accusation against the
Allies"
Continuing, he said in part;
.Greece's neutrality has from the
the Allies Yet during recent months
Germans and Austrians to violate its
neutrality by using the Greek coasts
and islands as a base for provisioning
their submarines. The fact that no
one has been able to locate this base
exactly proves the cleverness of the
Germans but their fury at the pres
ence of the Allies att CasteIIorizo,
Corfu, and other well known sub
marine nests shows the reality of their
organization.
1T will one day be interesting to
learn the revelations made on this
subject by the papers seized on con-
suls and agents Of the Germanic qua
drupIice at Salonil<i, Mytilene and
Corfu. It was from the coasts of
these islands or peninsulas that the
pirates who sank the Ancona and
the Persia set out. How, then, since
that time can one invoke even the
neutrality. of Corfu where on the very

ttlre of the Robert Emnet club will be
received with much pleasure by Irish

liVan's services for the evening, as he
is noted as an orator throughout the
east and the middle west. Final ar
rangements were made yesterday by
Col. T. J. Murphy who went to New
York to meet Judge Sullivan.
The speaker is a native of Iowa. He
has addressed various large assem-
blies in cities throughout that section
of the country as well as in the east

most fortunate in securing him for
their lecture.
The committee is now arranging

loists of this vicinity to participate in

eve of the French disem ba,rkation
there was a complete German staff.
How can one invoke this neutrality
which was esta b1ished as the condi-
ton of a gift made by England to
Greece and not in the interest OF
Greece but in that of England?
''Is the presence of the Serbs in
Greece and the allies at Corfu really
a violation of a neutrality already
so openly violated by the Germans?
Since Greece is unable to succor her
ally, notwithstanding a formal en-
gagement to that effort, how can she
grant her an asylum. AS for chol-
era, it does not exist. Cases of
Chlorine, due to excess following on
privation were discovered amon= the
Serbian troops. And are the crews
of French, English or Italian trans
ports afraid Of the disease? In any
case. all preventive measures have
been taken.
THE population of Corfu is most
sympathetic toward the French AL
pine soldiers. The French govern
ment is sending grain and other pro-
visions In advance.
THE charges about the bridge at
Denair EIissar are without foundation.
The cost of the bridge will be repaid.
It was indisp ensable to blow up the
bridge to prevent or enbarrass the
artillery.
1.-THE King says there are no troops
of the enemy there. Yet he does not
cease telling the allies that they are
going to be attacked and destroyed. If
they do not quit the place forthwith.
GAS to the violent epithets the king
applies to the policy of the allies, they
cannot change the truth. The Greek
government were SO little convinced
that the Gallipoli enterprise would be
a failure that they tried by every
means to take part in it and it was
only their exaggerated demands that
caused their cooperation to be re-
fused. If the enterprise has been a
failure and the Serbs have been
crushed, the fact is due to Greece's
declining to fulfill her engagements as
an ally toward Serbia. and allowing
her territory to be surrounded by the
armies of her bitterest enemy,
LAS to the sympathies of the Greek
people 1t is enough to examine the fig
ures regarding recent ahstentions at
the last elections to see what they
mean or to recall the fact that a while
ago M Venizelos. the friend Of the
entente, was cheered by thousands of
people.
"Thet King declares he cannot de-
mobolize. He fails to add that the al
lies continue, at his request, to adj
vance money to Greece for its mob
ilization. And why does he want to
persuade the allies to go, and why
does he not take his place beside
them?
= Concerning his opinion about the
result OF the war. it is pleasant that a
sovereign so much impressed by Ger
many's power publicly avoYs that she
cannot be victorious. This shows how
right an impartial people are in pro-
claiming that she will be crushed
