 ID GIVE GREECE
 PART OF SERBIA
Tried to Buy Greek Neu- trality by Giving Monastir and as Much of Serbia
 as Desired

London, November 15.-Eliptherios venizelos, prime minister of Greece speaking in London yesterday, referred to conversation he had at the begin ming of the war with the German min ister in Athens. The German minister had come to him because he was aware of the declaration of M. Venizelos that if Bulgaria attacked Serbia, Greece would go to the assistance of her ally.
 The minister showed me the great dan gers Greece would run if she carried out her plan. because she would have op- posed to her not only Bulgaria but Ger many" said M venizelos. T replied that I was exceedingly sorry to hear that, but thattit was our duty to go to the assistance of our ally, and we should carry out that duty.
 eThe German minister then asked me if in going to. serbia's assistance, l was looking forward 10 any benefits that might accrue to Greece. replied, mo- He then said: But, if Greece will remain neutral we are in a position to g ve her very great and substantial snefits

 T said to the minister: You will allow me to translate your offer in my pwn words. What you do is this--you six me to dishonor my signature, to ishonor my country and to violate it's oligations towards Serbia, and as enumeration you offer me part of the corpse of that which I am expected to kill. My country is too little to com init so great an infamy."

TEACHERS ID AID
 W. S.S. CAMP PA|GN
Spright Dowell Gives In- dorsement to War Savings
 Plan for Schools

The Alabama womans division of the War Savings committee have just sent out 5000 letters to the school teach CTS of the state asking their co-opera- tton in forming War Savings societies among the school children, and in oth- CT ways aiding in the War Saving campaign The letters sent to the teachers outlined the plan of forming these societies with suggestions as to methods with which to interest the children.
 The enlistment of the teachers in the War Savings campaign has the un- qualified approval of Spright Dowe1l state superintendent of education, as the following letter to Mrs Richard F Johnston, state director of the wom- ans division will show
 Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, Director of
 the Ala bama Womans Division of
 War Savings Committee, Birming
 ham, Ala
 My Dear Mrs Johnston: I thank you for your letter or the 18th and for the copy of the one. you are sending to the teachers of tH4 state. I do not believe that any of the movements that have arisen out of our war situa- tion are fraught with more permanent and lasting good than the work which you are promoting. If we can teach eiiS pVyS anu SlIIS to HuSpd4iu tiSii lS- sources and to form habits of thrift I think the problem of financing all worthy movements, including the schools, will be forever solved and much might be added with reference to the health of the nation in the fu- ture.
 ."A Again thanking you for your very intelligent presentation of the case, and assuring you that it will afford us genuine pleasure, as it has in the past, through all the agencies at our com niand, to emphasize the War Savings plan. I am very sincerely,
 "SPRIGHT DOWELL, State Superintendent of Education"
