GREECE OBED|ENT
Crown Council FavOrs Accept
ance of Allies Yoke.
Reduce Military; Release Veni-
zelists and Apologize.

Athens Jan. 10.-The crown coun-
ell of Greece favors acceptance of the
allies demands as outlined in the note
just received, according to an appar
emily reliable report circulated today.
Prompt answer of Greece to the
original allied demands was required
by an ultimatum delivered to the
Greek government yesterday by minis
ters of the entente powers. This in
sisted upon reply within 4S hours. 1t
followed an "evasive" note addressed
to the allies by King Constantine two
days previously, in which he pointed
out the difficulties in the way of COM
pliance with the demands.
The ''ultimatum'' required imme-
date acceptance of the demands served
on Greece, December 81. These were
for reduction of all Greek military
forces in all parts of the kingdom ex-
cept Pe1opommesus to the maximum
required maintenance of public order;
prohibition against reservists meetings
in all parts of Greece north of Corinth;
release of all Venizelist prisoners; for
NAL apology to the entente for attacks
on it's troops, embassies and flags, and
a change in the command of the first
Greek army. The December 81 note
also reiterated the previous demand
for transfer of all Greek troops from
Thessaly to Peloponnesus.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10-Oscar Brown

A re-enactment of the murder SO
far as the details of the crime are
known was planned today by detec-
tives upon the belief other tenants in
the apartment house must have heard

Was 1t Blackmail?
Another theory that is again engag-
ing attention of the detectives is that
bIackmail was the motive for the
crime. It is the theory or some, the
authorities say, that Lewis and Miss
Colbert were alone in her apartments
when another person entered and at
tempted to extort money from the
Pittsburger under the threat of ex-
posture or arrest. Lewis, becoming en-
ragged, according to this theory, and
believing that he was the victim of
plot. attacked the girl. John Colbert,
brother of the model, said he ex-
pected startling developments in the
case today.
"At least four wealthy and promi-

OUT WITH U-BOATS
Germany Must Get French
COaSt-Stresemann.
Starye England by Relentless
War on Commerce.

London, Jan. 1O.-Dr. Gustave
Stresemann, German national hberal
deputy. in a speech at Hanover sun
day declared that Germany must
emerge from the war in possession of
the Flemish coast, according to an
Amsterdam dispatch to the Times.
Doctor Stresemann said that Germany
altho the second strongest economic
power in the world and possessing the
second strongest merchant fleet, had
not a single naval supporting point to
serve for defense in war time.
This war has annihilated our world
trade" he is quoted as saying. we
have forfeited our colonies and our
cruiser squadron is lost. If, therefore.
the war ended without something of
our former situation altered, the con-
sequence for us would be the collapse
of our national economy because the
German merchant would not again
risk seeing all that he had created
collapse the day after declaration of
war by England. If peace is conclud-
ed without Germany possessing the
Flemish cost, England is the winning
and we the losing side.
Neutral Belgium an Impossibility.
A neutral Belgium is historical
impossibility after the war. Doctor
Stresemann added that without the
future possibility of marching thru
Belgium, the Germans must fight the
next war on the Rhine and not in
France. He said they looked Tor a
German peace. not one under the pro-
lection of a world peace alliance.
In concluding DR.. Stresemann laid
emphasis on the increasing import
ance of submarines. He said their full
employment would raise the monthly
toll of tonnage from half a million to
a million tons. This, he said, would
not only strike England in her econ
omic nerves but would mean famine
for the English population.
The speaker drew enthusiastic ap-
plause when he exclaimed, "Out with
the U-boats."
Socialists Oppose U-Boat War.
Amsterdam, Jan. 10-The German
Socialists Vorwaerts association has
declared emphatically against unre-
stricted submarine warfare, accord
ing to a Berlin dispatch to the Rhein-
ische Westphalische Zeitung of Essen.
The dispatch also quotes Herr Ebert,
Socialist member of the reichstag as
saying at a meeting of the organiza-
ton on January 8. that the condition
within the Socialist party is extremely
serious. The Vorwa erts organization
is not connected with the Socialist
newspaper of the same name.

police and hundreds of vicious re-

Mr.. Hoyne announced that he had

alleged corruption ring were wider

ton to numbers of policemen, ranging
in rank from patrolmen to captains,

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Jan. 10.-WHEAT-Wheat
prices rallied today from transient weak
ness, due to differences that the German
chancellor would make new to
bring about peace. Selling pressure. how
ever. was not heavy and it took but little
fresh buying to cause a recovery. The
purchasers were for the most part leading
houses, where the bears seemed to be
chiefly pit spectators. Opening prices,
with May at SISSY to S1.S7 and July at
$1.501a to $1.50B were followed by a sub
stantial setback all around, but then d
rise that in some cases showed a moderate
net gain.
CORN-Corn paralleled the action of
wheat The bulls were helped by reports
that without heavy rains this week the
Argentine crop would be a failure. After
opening Nc to SC off, the market here
sagged a little further before turning up
grade. ~ =
OATS-Trade in oats entirely local. The
price change seemed to depend altogether
on the course of other cereals.

Economy Begins Early.
Friends of reform in the legislature
have struggled bravely to save dime
for the state in selection of employees
that they may later spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars and sleep with
the conviction that they are watch
dogs of the public till. After frantic
efforts, both the house and senate
have reduced the expense of the legis-
lature several dollars a day. Later
they will face official administration
recommendations of two and a third
million dollars more than recommend

The state senate is at least two days
ahead of the previous record in its or

The house is just getting under way.
As usual, it is slow. The first commit
tee assignments were announced today

that all house committees will be
named before the weekend.

taxes are paid in full before Deem

would eliminate all tax rebates. Where
taxes are not paid until June, however,
the penalty will remain as under the
present law
Repeal Divorce Proctor.
The Kansas divorce proctor law is
to be on the grill in the. state legisia-
ture this winter. L. D. Moore of Cow
ley county today introduced a bill in
law enacted in the 1918 legislative
session. Four years ago the legislature
sought to check the easy divorce sys-
tenn in Kansas thru the passage of the
divorce proctor law. In the fight
against state divorce evil, the county
attorney was made divorce proctor
! with requirements to hear the stories
of domestic upheavals and determine
whether sufficient cause existed for a
legal separation. If a divorce was war
ranted. suit might then be filed with
approval of the proctor.
| Pay Full Premium.
Insurance COMPANIES must pay full
face of premiums in fire losses if a
bill in the house today by Ben F.
Endres of Leavenworth county be-
comes a state law. The Endres bill
takes a broad rap at the system en-
| ployed by fire insurance companies
and makes compulsory face value pay
ment in event of total fire, tornado or
| lightning loss. Under the Endres bill,
! litigation concerning amount of loss
by fire, lightning or tornado will be
| impossible. The bill provides that the
amount written in an Insurance policy
shall be taken as conclusive evidence
of the value of the property insured.
In event of loss, the insured can not
be compelled to establish the value of
his property. The measure would
place on the shoulders of insurance
companies the full responsibility and
! where over insurance is allowed. the
policy will be written at the risk of
the company.
Test Road Building Rights.
Rights of the state to appropriate
money for county road building will
be tested under a bill introduced in the
house today by Bardwell of Riley
county. The bill appropriates $4,000
for county road building. 1t is to be
emerged that test suit may be filed
at once to determine whether a con-
stitutional amendment will be neces-
sary to provide state aid for county
road work.
Bardwells measure provides that
state funds may be available for coun-
ty road improvement in cases where
the required showing is made before
the county commissioners. In tomor-
rows session, Bardwen will ask to
have his bill emerged that it may be
rushed to final Passage. AS soon as
the money is available, a test suit is
to be filed in the supreme court to de-
termine the rights of the state to APP
propriate money for county road build
ing under provisions of the state con-
stitution.
The Riley county member expects to
secure an opinion from the supreme
court before adjournment of the pres
ent legislative session. If the court
denies to the state the right to appro-
pirate money for county road work, a
| resolution asking for a constitutional
amendment will be submitted. Should
| the legislature approve the amend
ment, the measure would be submitted
| to the voters in the 1918 election.
