GREECE HAS ENTERED WAR
State Of War Considered Existing and
Relations Are Broken With
Central Powers.

Athens.--The Greek government has
broken diplomatic relations with Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey. Though war has not been de-
clared, the Greek Government con-
siders that state of war exists,
Greece's new course with regard to
the war began to be shaped June II,
with the abdication of King Constan-
tine and the accession of Alexander,
his second son, as king. The abdica-
tion was in effect a dethronement of
Constantine, whose pro-German atti-
tude had given the Entente endless
trouble and threatened not only the
success of the Saloniki expedition, but
it's safety. through danger of back fire
from a hostile Greek Military force.
Decisive action by the Entente was
long in coming, but was drastic when
finally taken.

icy will be determined by President
Wilson only after most careful study
of the subject in all it's international
aspects. After the problem had been
gone over in Cabinet meeting it was
disclosed that the first Presidential
proclamation, putting certain commo-
dities under Government control, prob
ably will not be issued for some days.
Many complications are presented.
The administration, firm in its inten-
tion to check the movement of sup
plies from the European neutral coun-
tries to Germany, is anxious at the
same time that no injustice be done
to neutrals. 1t is realized that any
program for rationing opens itself to
many abuses.

SANTo DOMINGO RICH LAND
Is Without Modern Means Of Trans-
portation, However, Having Only
One Short Railroad.

The Dominican republic is a good
sized and very wealthy country which
is almost entirely without modern
means of transportation. II hns only
one short railroad In bad repair and
only a few wagon roads reaching a
short distance inland from the princi-
pal ports. The great rich interior is
traversed only by very difficult trails,
so that to travel from one city to an
other you must go on horseback and
swim across rivers.
This state of affairs has greatly re-
tarded the industrial development OF
the country, but II has been a great
stimulus to the inventive genius of the
DOminicans, who have to transport ev-
ery:hing either on horseback or by
boat.
The ability of these people to fasten
all sorts of commodities upon the
backs of ponies and burrOs is almost
Incredible. The typical Dominican
saddle is bulky affair made of WOW
en- grass, with short stirrups set very
far forward, so that the rider sits In
about the position of man in Il chair.
This leaves the flanks of his animal
clear for cargo. All the milk sold In
the city is delivered by cOuntrymen so
mounted, with az immense milk can on
either side of the mount. Eggs and
chickens are brought to town in bas-
kets the same way. Immense loads OF
hay are miraculously strapped to the
backs of burros till they look like four
legged haystacks. Kindling is brought
to town the same way and the evalu-
able hardwoOds of the forests come
down to the water front in billets load
ed on the backs of pack animals.
