COUNTRY OF GREECE
UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Elements Favoring Return of
Constantine TO Throne
Cause Decree.
RUMORS ARE SPREAD
False Stories Circulated in
Attempts to Weaken AL

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
ATHENS, Aug. 1.-THE proclama-
tion of martial law, which is now in
force by royal decree, has been adopt
ed by the government as a means of
dealing with the elements which con-
tinue to agitate in behalf of the old
rOyalist regime of King Constantine
II is a drastic measure, suspending
the constitutional guarantees of free
speech, speedy trial and placing the
capital and the section of Southern
Greece comprised in Attica and Boetia
in a state of siege and giving to the
military instead of the civil authori-
ties the safeguarding of public order.
On the abdication of Constantine
most of his ministers and chief Of
ficers were exiled or deprived of their
functions. But it was impossible to
make a clean sweep of all those
friendly to the old regime, and many
OF the leaders, including prominent
military men, remain at Athens. II
is said they hold meetings at two
points, one at Kaphissia, a suburb. |
and the other at Athens, where plots |
are hatched and the eventuality of !!
COnstantine's return looked forward |
to. While the new administration !
has firm hold of affairs and is in /
complete accord with the Entente AL
lies, yet the Entente officials feel
there is still danger in the old mil
ltary element which continues to agi-
tate with the public and is even said
to have some of its representatives

sensational rumor which keeps the
ignorant classes and the peasantry in
a continual state of unrest, with the
evident purpose of making them be-
lieve that German victory and the
return of Constantine are near at
hand. Some of these reports were of
the fall of Verdun, the flight of the
| French government from Paris and a
separate peace by Russia. The gov
! ernment and the allied diplomats are
| satisfied that all this is part of sys-
I tematic campaign by which the Gen.
trail powers are operating through the
element favorable to the late king.
An American official closely in
touch with recent events tells how
report circulated that an American
fleet was coming to support King
Constantine. This report was widely
believed and had been printed as
fact in the local press. One of the
kings household met the American
minister, Mr.. Droppers, and said:
AT last We are to have the Ameri-
can fleet"
Indeed" said the American minis
ter, when is it coming?"
Very soon; it has passed Gibral-
tar; we have kilograms from that
point"
Il am sorry to differ with you"
said the minister, but don't believe
the feet is coming"
why not?" demanded the royal Of
dcial
Because" said the minister, 'if an
American feet is sent to Greece the 1
American minister will be one of the 4
first to know it." \
This put an end to the report that 1
the fleet was coming, and it brought
about considerable GOODNESS toward
he American authorities. 1t is this
sort of rumor, for political effect,
hat martial law will seek to stop.
Martial Law Is Rigorous.
The rigors of this martial law are
indicated by the rules issued by the
commanding general of the Athens
district. One of the prohibitions he
ays down is as follows:
The communication in any public
manner, by expose, opinion or infor-
nation. of anything likely to increase
n the eyes of the people the force of
he enemy or to diminish our force or
hat of our allies, or which will at
ribute too much importance to the
angers of the war and the losses it
involves, or inspires fear or uncertain

or doubt upon a favorable issue of the
war, or upon its efficacy, or upon the
necessity to consent to all sacrifices
in view of this issue"
Another prohibition is against ex-
pressing any hope or tendency in
favor of the reversal of the present
regime" This sweeping measure puts
an end to any open plottings by the

Decoration

An effort is being made to
make the city of Redwood Falls
more beautiful this summer than
it has ever been before, and
with that purpose in view the
Commercial Club has placed in
Glenn Luken's hands money to
be awarded as prizes for GER
tain features of gardening and
flower raising. Mr.. Lukens has
decided to divide these prize
winning features as follows: the
best Handicapped lawn, best porch
treatment, best window treat
ment, best flower bed and best
single specimen. In the matter
of the best Handicapped lawn, the
following elements will be con-
sldered in the awarding of the
prizes; the treatment of plant
arrangement about the house,
the porch treatment, beds or
borders, vases, boxes, walks and
vines about the house, yard or
outbuildings.
/ This contest is open to every
citizen and the next issue of The
Gazette will contain an article
| by Mr.. Lukens on what plants
to purchase, how to plant them
and some simple and applicable
suggestions on landscaping.
Mr.. Lukens has also, at the
request@of the library board
; made a plan for landscaping the
: grounds around the public libra

ing will be done there soon. The
plans call for the identifying of
the grounds close to the build
ing with special view to COW
} ering the foundation. Among

adapted to al stucco buildings
: and is wonderfully effective.

e the planting of carefully selected
$ shrubs and plants and the ju.
dicious use of vines. Mr.. Lukens
1 has made a careful study of the

Engineer InspeCts
City Water System
Recommends Immediate Expen-
diture of $4,000 to Obtain Sup
ply of Water for City

Louis P. Wolff, engineer OF
the State Board of Health, came
to Redwood Falls Monday, and
in company with Mayor w. A
Brand made a thorough canvas
of the present water system, in
an effort to ascertain what
might be done to relieve the
very serious condition of the
present water supply.
Mr.. VOLTS recommendation
was that the water from the
upper springs be piped 1000
feet down to the pump house,
the pipes tapping the lower
springs as we'll, and that the
springs at the pump station
should also be cleaned out and
made thoroughly disable.
New Reservoir.
Then Mr.. Wolff was emphatic
in his statement that the pres
ent reservoir was absolutely un-
fit for use because of it's low To-
cation and for others reasons
and he recommended the build
ing of a new reservoir of a 100,
900 gallons capacity. The pump
is all right but a new boiler at
the pump is a necessity. Other
changes should wait until ma
terial and labor are more near
ly normal in price.

AL DEMAREE A CUB.
Former Giant Traded by Phillies for
 Lavender.

Philadelphia, Jan. l7.-Announce- ment was made yesterday that Pitcher Al Demaree of the Philadel- phia Nationals had been traded to the Chicago Nationals for Pitcher Jimmy Lavender. No money consid- eration was involved.
 Demaree has been very active in the Players Fraternity, and is the or der's spokesman in Chicago. He is a former member of the New York Giants. He was purchased by that club from Mobile in the fall of 1912. During the winter of 1914-15 De- maree, Stock and Adams came to the Phillies in a deal by which Hans Lobert was sent to New York. Since leaving the iGants, Demaree has beaten his old club as regularly as clockwork, doing this nine times, four times in 1916 and five last season.

Will Not Increase Salary of Bullet

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-Connie Mack has decided to break up the triple holdout league. According to statement issued by one close to affairs at Shibe park, the leader has decided to retain Amos Strunk, the speedy outielder. and allow Joe Bush and Wally Schange to hold out as long as they desire. In other words, Mack will grant Strunk an increase in salary, but Bullet Joe" and Schang must affix their signatures to the original 1917 contracts or go some place else.
 It is certain that both Bush and Schang will be traded to some other club. Schange is wanted by Boston and there is a good chance of trading him for Dutch Leonard. Dutch is believed to be dissatisfied in Boston and would welcome a trade. Joe Bush who pitched one of the three no-hit games last year, can be disposed Of without much trouble, and it is pos sible that Mack will accept a pitcher and utility inf1elder for him.
