GREECE PROTESTS ALLIES
TOLERANCE OF SEDITIOUS
Astonished That French and British
Warships Permit RevoIutionists
to Carry on Raids.

Athens, Dec. 21:-A note has been
presented by the Greek government
to the Allies. It reads:
'The royal government learns, with
establishment, that revolutions, under
command of seditious officers from Se-
loniki, landed several days ago on the
island of syria. Despite the blockade
the Allied feet maintains they arrest
ed all the high functionaries and many
notables and committed every sort of
outrage, since when they have con-
tinued to terrorize the inhabitants.
Later a British warship landed a
detachment and arrested the chief Of
police.
1.-THE government is most astonished
that the Allied warships permit the
revolutionists to perpetrate these acts,
since by it's reply to the ultimatum
December IA, the Greek government
gave the strongest proof of it's good
will toward the Allies"
The note protests vigorously against
the Allies tolerance of the extension
of the seditious movement and the &C.
cupation of the islands of the kingdom
by the Allied authorities.

NATIONALIZING BRITISH
SHIPPING TO HURT u. S.
mands Ample Return for All
Sacrifices Made.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Nationaliza-
ton of British shipping, mentioned
briefly by Premier Lloyd George as
one of the first acts of Great Britain's
new war ministry, commands more in
terest here from the strictly American
point of view than any other phase Of
the premier's speech. What effect it
would have on American foreign trade
and on the status of British ships sunk
by German submarines has opened 4
new and unexpected series of Ques-
tions which officials regard with much
concern.
The taking into the national service
of the whole mercantile marine, follow
ing closely on England's announcement
that it could not guarantee coal at
any of it's coaling bases the world over
except to ships conserving allied inter
ests, is thought by officials at first
glance to turn over the great majority
of the worlds carrying trade to spe-
cific purposes.

GERMAN IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR
IN SECRET CONFERENCE WITH
PARTY LEADERS GAINS
FULL AUTHORITY.
THREATENS TO RESIGN IF
HIS DEMANDS ARE REFUSED
Declines to Give Statesmen Any De-
tailed Particulars Of Peace Terms
and States That Proposals Will
Not Take Consideration Of
Their Expressed Wishes.

London, Dec. H.-A dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram company from Zurich
says information has been received
there from Berlin that DIR. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, the German imperial
chancellor in secret conference with
the party leaders preceding his an
of Germany's peace offer
in the Reichstag, was given full pow
er to conduct peace negotiations with
out further consultation even with the
party leaders.
Threatens to Resign.
"The Chancellor" says the dispatch,
refused point blank to give the lead
ers any detailed particulars of his
peace terms, although he stated
bluntly that these terms would not
take any consideration of the various
expressed wishes of the numerous par
ties within the Empire. When the
leaders objected to granting the Chan
cellor's demands for full powers to
negotiate, DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
countered with the statement that he
would resign forthwith unless his de-
mands we're met.
Leaders Vote Powers.
after a long argument the leaders
voted the powers the Chancellor
wished, explaining later to followers
that they were compelled to do this
owing to the fear that DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg would resign.

BRITAIN TURNS TO WAR NEEDS
PEACE OFFICIALLY PUT UP TO
CENTRAL POWERS.
Nation Believes Policies Outlined by
Premier Destined to Insure UIti-
mate Victory for Allies.

London, Dec. 21.-With peace Off
cially put up to the Central Powers by
the Entente governments, Great Bri-
tain has turned it's attention to enact
ment into law of the new policies out
lined by Lloyd George in his speech
before the house of commons which
are destined, the public believes, to
insure ultimate victory for the allied
arms.
kaiser's Move.
Parliament will be progued Friday for
eight weeks. The government prob
ably will require all of that time to
whip into shape the measures fore
Swallowed in the premier's address.
The reply of Lloyd George to the
German peace proposals had been an.
ticipated. Having had an opportunity
to digest the full meaning of the prime
minister's answer, the universal Brit
ish view is that the Allies have not
slammed the door on peace; they have
simply said to Germany: Here are
our terms; take them or leave them;
it is your move"
Passages of the premier's speech
dealing with peace appeared in late
editions of Tuesday nights newspa-
pers, but the domestic policies of the
Georgian cabinet were not published
until noon Wednesday and were too
vast and too briefly indicated for i'm
mediate crystalization of opinion.
So far, however, there has been no
word of complaint, nor the slightest
hint of opposition. The nation appar-
emily is more unified than ever before,
and more determined to press the new
war measures to the utmost.

ing Before Committee Will Be
Heard Again by Congress.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Sharp con-
troversy in Congress over the future
Of the national guard in the federal
military system was foreshadowed
Wednesday before committees of both
the House and Senate.
Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief
of staff OF the army, encountered Wig.
orous cross examination by several
members Of the House military CON-
mittee when he touched on results Of
the mobilization of the state troops for
border duty as shown in the general
staff report based on information fur
nished by regular army. inspectors.
Conclusions drawn from the figures to
support the contention that the guard
system is inefficient and unreliable
were promptly questioned, and it was
indicated that the head of the army
would face searching questioning
when he continues his statement.
To Recall Scott and Wood.
The Senate subcommittee in charge
Of the Chamberlain Universal train
ing bill decided to recall General Scott
on mobilization in full to that commit
tee, and Major General Leonard Wood,
commanding the Eastern department,
who described the mobilization as
tragedy" in his direct hearing be.
fore the committee. Both officers
have been asked to appear for cross
examination by Senator Blairlee, a
champion of the national guard.
To Show Original Reports.
In preparation for the cross-examin-
alton it is understood staff officers
familiar with mobilization will be
present and prepared to submit the
original reports from the inspectors,
including names Of the organizations
examined. The compiled summary of
these reports avoid mention of any
specific units of the guard.
The House committee did not go
into the question of universal military
service recommended by the general
staff and Generals Scott and Wood.
The chief of staff had not reached
that portion of his statement at the
close of the days session.
For Compulsory Service.
Before the Chamberlain committee,
however, Howard H. Gross of Chicago,
president, and Edward Harding of
New York city, representing the Uni
versal Military Training league, out
lined their views. They will be fol-
lowed by certain officers and enlisted
men of the national guard, all of whom
are expected to support the recon.
mendations of the general staff for a
compulsory service system.
