GREECE IN HANDS OF ALLIES
Navy, Railroads, Telegraph and
Mails for the Present.

Paris, Oct. 13.-Details of the de-
mands made to the Greek government
by Admiral d'Artige du Fournet, COM
mander of the allied naval forces at
Piraeus, which have been made public
here, show that the ultimatum was
much more comprehensive than was
understood at first The demands
were complied with.
In addition to her fleet Greece was
required to permit allied control of
all material for naval operations as
well as the mails, telegraph and rail-
roads. The ultimatum set forth that
such control was necessary in order
to render impossible the use Of the
navy, railroads, and so forth, to the
detriment Of the Allies.
Admiral Du Fournet gave the Greek
government until o'clock Wednesday
afternoon to comply with his demands
and stated that failure to do so would
result in his taking the necessary steps

HOW LL0YD-GEoRGE WORKS
Depends Much on Secretaries and
Never Writes 4 Letter II
He Can Help It

It is said that Lloyd-G George, the
British war minister, depends very
much on his secretaries, and never
writes a letter If he can help It He
has the knack Of getting the men he
wants and Of getting a lot Of work
out of them, and, as would be expect
ed, sees that they are properly re-
warded. When he went to the war
office LlOyd-George took three OF his
secretaries with him, Mr.. h. J. Greedy,
who was Lord Kftchener's secretary,
being retained also; J. T. Davies, who
has served Mr.. Lloyd-George in a very
confidential post for some time; Miss
T. L. Stephenson, who is probably the
first woman to occupy such post with
responsible statesman, and Mr.. w.
Sutherland, who is underpaid- Lloyd
George, by the way, has made more
than one find among his private sec
retaries, and, even in face OF comment,
he has not hesitated to secure their
promotion to responsible posts. There
is, for instance, Sir W. n. Clark, a
former board Of trade clerk, who was
the present war secretary's "ghost" at
the board Of trade and the exchequer,
who became a member OF the council
of India, and who, at the age Of forty,
is a knight, busily engaged In organic
ing the capture OF German trade. An
other Of Mr.. Lloyd-George's former
private secretaries is Mr.. John Row
land, a brilliant Welshman, who has
done good work as Welsh insurance
commissioner.

An ENGLISH VIEW
Lord Robert Cecil Says LOca-
ton Does Not Change the
U-Boat War Status.
WOULD MODIFY THE BLACKLIST
British Minister of War Trade Says
Reply to American Note Is On
the Way to Washington.

London, Oct. 14.-The operations Of
the German U-boat U-53 off the Amer
lean coast raises no new issues as far
as the British government is con-
cerned, in the opinion of Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of war trade, who dis
cussed today with representative of
the Associated Press the latest de-
Velopment in the relations between
Great Britain and the United States.
Lord Robert declared this form of
warfare on merchantmen violated in
ternational law as it was recognized
by Great Britain and the United States
in the days before the war, and was
still Objectionable to Great Britain,
but no more so than when it is done
on this side of the water.
Would Modify Blockade.
Referring to reports of meetings be-
tween Sir Richard Crawford, CONNER
ciaI attache of the British embassy in
Washington, with American bankers
and business men, Lord Robert said
no departure in principle had been
made from the British blockade meas
ures, but it could be safely said that
the general policy leaned in the di-
rection of a modification rather than
an extension of the blacklist The
reply to the American blacklist note
is on the way to Washington, and
this answered the American criticism
of the principles behind the measure.
AS regards the administration Of the
blacklist, Lord Robert said Washing
ton had forwarded very few individ-
ual complaints about it.
Replying to the charge that Great
Britain is violating its equal treatment
provisions of the Anglo-American
treaty of commerce and navigation Of
1915 by granting licenses to Japanese
and French exporters, while refusing
permits to American shippers for sim
liar goods, Lord Robert said that such
restrictions were in the hands of the
board of trade, but THAT he was per-
sonally of the opinion that such trea-
ties lost validity during a state of
war.

NAMES new ADVISORY BOARD
Seven Widely Known Engineers Called
to Help Administration in AdVanc-
ing Industrial Preparedness.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct 12.-President
Wilson, en- route to Indianapolis, to-
night announced the appointment Of
members Of the advisory commission
to be associated with the council Of
national defense, created by congress
at the last session. At the same time
he gave out a statement saying he
hoped the council will become rally
ing point for civic bodies working for
the national defense
The seven members of the new adj
visory commission, named by the Pres
ident tonight are: Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road; Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor;
DR.. Franklin H. Martin of Chicago;
Howard E. Coffin of Detroit; Bernard
Baruch of New York; DR.. Hollis God
frey of Philadelphia, and julius Rosen-
wald of Chicago.
The Presidents statement follows:
''The council of national defense has
been created because congress has
realized that the country, is best pre-
pared for war when thoroughly pre-
pared for peace. From an economic
point of view, there is now very little
difference between the machinery re-
CURED for commercial efficiency and
that required for military purposes. In
both cases the whole industrial mech
anism must be organized in the most
effective way.
''The organization Of the council,
likewise opens up a new and direct
channel of communication and cooper
alton between business and scientific
men and all departments of the gov
eminent, and it is hoped that it will,
in addition, become a ral1ying point
for civic bodies working for the ma
tionaI defense.
"The councils chief functions are:
1.-THE coordination of all forms
of transportation and the development
of means of transportation to meet the
military, industrial, and commercial
needs Of the nation.
"2-The extension of the industrial
mobilization work of the committee on
industrial preparedness of the naval
consulting board. Complete informa-
ton as to our present manufacturing
and producing facilities adaptable to
many-sided uses of modern warfare
will be procured, analysed and made
use of.
'The personnel of the councils ad-
visory members, appointed without re-
gard to party, marks the entrance Of
the non-partisan engineer and profess
! siona1 man into American govern
mental affairs on a wider scale than
ever before.
''In the present instance, the time
of some of the advisory board cannot
be purchased. They serve the gov
eminent without remuneration, eff
cheney being their sole object and
Americanism their only motive
