King Waits Until Won Macken-
sen Can Strike, Says
One Report.
RESERVISTS GAIN POWER


By the Associated Press.
LONDON. January "a dispatch to
the Times from Piraeus, dated Decem-
her 81, says that the real key to the
situation in Greece is the military po-
sition In Macedonia. According to this
story King Constantine has received
astir to the effect that Field Marshal
Won Mackensen considered 1t impos-
sible to move on Monastir before
another two months at the earliest
The Greek government realizes. there
fore. says the dispatch. that If it broke
with the entente it would have to sup
port the struggle alone.
Reservists Gaining Power.
News dispatches from Athens depict
the situation there as threatening for
the entente and assert that power is
passing into the hand of the reservists,
who are expected to break out again
as on December !. Most of these
dispatches have arrived by way of
Syria and are more than a week old,
but the Morning Posts correspondent,
the position in the Greek capital then
was such as to indicate that the Athens
government is meditating some des-
perate stroke. The reservists are be-
ing secretly enrolled and notified to
hold themselves in readiness to join
specified regiments at an hours notice.
while measures regarding artillery and
munitions are being extensively taken.
The newspapers. which are now ex-
olusively controlled by the government,
more than hint at war, and demand
that Greece mobilize. They declare
that the blockade situation is becom-
ing intolerable, and that Greece is not
disposed to allow herself by hunger to
be forced into a weak acceptance of
the entente's arbitrary wishes. The
allied ministers have told the govern
ment that the blockade will not be
raised until the transfer of troops to
the Peloponnesus is fully completed.
SYRIA Bridge Blown Up.
1t is reported that the Syra bridge.
south of Larissa. has been blown up by
reservists for the purpose of stopping
the transportation of more troops to
the south. The attitude of the king is
divergently represented. According to
some of the correspondents, the mon
entente, and is aiming to put the Greek
army in the field on the side of the CEN
trail powers. The Chronicle corre
spondent. however. writing under date
Of December 81, asserts that the king
10 absolutely determined not to join
the war. and that he is optimistic re-
garding the outcome of the situation
and personally willing to accept the
conditions of the entente.

LONDON. January 6. 12:45 p.m-The
peace terms of the Teutonic allies,
which Count Julius Andrassy, former
Hungarian premier, is reported to have
said the entente could learn from
President Wilson. are believed in dip
lomatic quarters to consist of generali-
cations which Germany and Austria
Hungary communicated to the Pope
and presumably to the American au-
thorities. The Pope expressed to the
German and Austro- Hungarian en-
perors his hopes that their terms would
be moderate and acceptable" The en-
perors responded that 1t was their pur-
pose to formulate moderate" terms
Reports that the reply Of the entente
to President Wilson's peace note would
contain a statement Of terms are now
known to refer to similar general
statement of conditions which, while
somewhat more specific than the gen
civilizations in the speech of Premier
Lloyd George and in the entente's reply
to Germany. does not mention spe-
officially by name the countries on be-

Asks Letter Carriers Return to

Resolutions urging that the federal
government should not take over tele-
phone service In the District. and ad-
vocating the return of letter carriers to
the branch post Office at 18th and U
streets northwest, were adopted by the
board Of governors of the Retail Mer-
chants Association at a meeting yes
terday afternoon.
No necessity exists at the present time
for the requirement of the telephone sys-
tenn in the District of Columbia by the
government, according to the resolutions
adopted. 1t was pointed out that 'since
the telephone company Is under the COM
petent supervision Of the public utilities
commission of the District of Columbia
the matter of rates and service will be
systematically and satisfactorily adjusted,
thus making it unnecessary and i'll ad-
visable for the federal government to ac-
quire this utility"
Action favoring the return of carriers to
the branch post Office followed the read
ing Of letter from the Fourteenth Street
Business Mems Association, asking that
the Retail Merchants Association coop
crate in having this done. 1t was stated
that since the discrimination of the de-
IL,

Date Set for Annual Meeting.
This is due to the long distance the
carriers have to travel between their
routes and the main station. Charles
]. Columbus. secretary of the Retail
Merchants Association. was directed
to assist in the movement to have the
carriers returned.
January 80 was selected as the date
for the annual meeting Of the associa-
tion. 1t Is to be held at 8 pm. at the
Raleigh Hotel. This is the largest Of
the four meetings of the association
held each year. President r. p An
drews is to deliver his annual report

authorized.
Matters relating to false advertising
in the District were referred to the
advertising vigilance committee of the

operate with the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York in opposition to the
curtailment of the pneumatic tube serv-
ice in that city. A request that this

NEW HANGER FOR SWEATERS
Special Holder, Made From Embrold.
= cry Ring, viii Preserve Shape
Of Garments.

Have you ever hung your pet sweat
er away on coat hanger for cou-
pie OF days7 II you have, you have
probably found 1t stretched most dis
tressingly when you took 1t down
again. So then, have you hung it,
ever so carefully, up on n hook7
Yesf Then, of course, you have
found most annoying little bump in
the wool where 1t hung.
So then, perhaps, you have decided
TO keep your sweaters In n bureau
drawer-and you have caught them on
the edge OF the drawer and pulled n
thread.
Well, here is n suggestion to make
the keeping OF your sweaters truly
easy. Have special sweater holder.
This special holder is no more than
n huge embroidery ring, of the sort
that Is used for the handles and tops
OF knitting bags. Attach ribbon or
tape to the ring at each end. and by
means OF this ribbon hang 1t on hook
Then pull the sweater through the
ring. Several may be placed on the
same ring without any trouble.
The ring, to be best fitted for Its
work, should be wound with satin rib.
bon. The quality need not be ex.
pensive. but the shiny surface Of the
satin ribbon makes 1t easier to pull
the sweaters through the ring and
there is no possibility Of tearing by
splinters from the surface of the wood
when 1t Is covered In this way.
