An increase of 80 per cent in the
amount of automobile license fees in
order to furnish additional funds for
road construction.

The legislative pay roll, as it existed

EX-KING OF GREECE
Still HAS FRIENDS
But Martial Law Is Acting As
Effective Gag

Athens. Aug. %, Correspondence of
the Associated Press.-The proclama-
ton 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.
It 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 Africa and
Boetia in a state of siege, and giving
to the military instead of the civil
authorities the safeguarding of public
order.
On the abdicatiOn of Constantine
his ministers and chief officers were
exiled or deprived of their functions.
But it was impossible to make clean
sweep of all these friendly to the old
regime, and many of the leaders in
Guiding prominent military men, re-
main at Athens. 1t is said they hold
meetings at two points, one at Kaphis-
STA, suburb, and the other at Ath-
ems, where plots are Matched and the
eventuality of Constantine's return
looked forward to. While the new
administration has a firm hold of af-
fairs, and Is in complete accord with
the Entente Allies, yet the Entente of
ficials feel there is still danger in
the old military element which con-
tinues to agitate with the public, and
is even said to have some of it's rep
resentatives in the encourage of the
new king.
Martial law is expected to reach
these military plotters. It is also ex-
pected to put a stop to the flood Of
sensational rumor which keeps the
ignorant classes and the peasantry in
continual state of unrest, with the
evident purpose of making them be-
lieve that a 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
government and the allied diplomats
are satisfied that all this is part of a
systematic campaign by which the
Central powers are operating through
the element favorable to the lat king.

BERNSTORFF FAXED
SOME NEWS ITEMS
Government Has Proof That He Ran
Expensive News Bureau For Ger
man interests.

Washington, Sept, 2e.-The United
States Government has uncovered a
mass of evidence showing that Count
Won Bernstorff while ambassador sub
sidized an expensive press bureau
which supplied many papers with
true news concerning the war.
This disclosure has no direct bear
ing upon the personal subsidies
which he paid to newspapers or to

reached throughout North and South

The bills for its maintenance were
very great. It's telegraph and cable
tolls are reported to have been greater
than those paid by some of the legiti-
mate news supplying agencies.
The government possesses list
of some of the greater expenditures

paid to the telegraph and cable COM
panies. coupled with the names Of
the papers supplied. The evidence
has been guarded carefully up to the
present, but the Administration may
While it is i'm possible to get a full
statement of all this evidence, a good
outline of the Bernstorff news service
has been obtained from various
sources.
Bernstorff had on his payroll a
number of writer's who were supposed
to be experts on every phase Of the
war, of politics and of economics in
their relation to world trade. These
men watched carefully developments
in Europe as we'll as in neutral coun-
tries and were prepared to translate
every development into a German
success
Bulletins to Order.
They wrote day to day develop
ments of the war and then cOncen-
trated them into bulletin form. These
bulletins for many months were sent
to various papers, where they APP
peared regularly as presenting a true
version of the situation Bernstorf
paid all the bills.
The service is supposed to have
been extremely popular with papers

dailies and weeklies that printed them
in the United States is unknown. 1t
