Athens. Jan. 10.-The crown coun-
Gil Of Greece fayors acceptance of the
allies demands, as outlined in the
note just received, according to an
apparently reliable report circulated
today.
Prompt answer to the allied de-
mands was requested by an ultima
tum delivered to the Greek govern
ment yesterday by ministers Of the
entente powers. This insisted upon
a reply within 4S hours. II followed
an "eyasive" 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 immedi-
ate acceptance OF the demands served
on December 81. These we're for re-
duction OF all Greek military forces
In all parts OF the kingdom, except
Peloponnesus, to the maximum re-
quired for the maintenance of public
order; prohibition against reservists'
meetings in all parts OF Greece north
OF Corinth; release OF all venizelist
prisoners; formal apology to the en-
tente for attacks on It's troops, en-
bassies and flags and a change in the
command Of the Greek army. The
December 81 note also reiterated the
previous demand for transfer OF all
Greek troops from Thessaly to Pei

general bill an appropriation for the
improvement OF the harbor at Cres-
cent City 10 another step forward in
the plan of development OF southern
Oregon and northern California.
There is little chance that anything
can now occur to prevent the passage
Of the bill carrying the Crescent City

II comes to him. Even II II is in
shape that It could be eliminated oy
the president, he would hardly have
the temerity to start slashing at the
very state that made his election pos
sible. The appropriation for the har-
Dor can. therefore. be taken as as
Sured.
But there Is one string to the ap-
preparation. That is the assurance
demanded that the railroad construc-
ton win proceed SO that when the
harbor Is completed there win be a
road to bring to the ships the pro-
ducts Of this great central empire.
No delay need be encountered here.
Grants Pass has already assured the
road to Takilma, and the committee
has the assurance of W. J. Hotchkiss
and his associates that the connec-
ton upon both great propositions will
proceed contemporaneousIy. for the
one is dependent upon the other. The
news from Washington is therefore
good news for all sections that will
come under the influence OF the de-
velopment.
Years OF investigation have beer
spent by the various departments In
becoming acquainted with the need
for the improvement OF the harbor
