'IRATE MOTHER
CHASES GREEK
SON-N-LAW OFF

ATLANTA, June Especially -
The persuasive powers of George
Catsakis, an Atlanta Greek who runs
fruit stand, were sufficient to induce
Miss Annie Stevens, pretty 49,
year old girl, to accompany him to
Decatur to get married, but they were
not enough to keep her when the
girls irate mother came on the scene.
Mrs. Stevens took the girl in hand
and bundled her back home and lock-
ed her up and ordered Catsakis to
stay off the premises on pain of bodily
harm, which warning he felt that he
ought to comply with, as something
seemed to tell him that Mrs. Stevens
was dangerous person to fool with
So he went to the courthouse and in
stituted habeas corpus proceedings,
with the result that Mrs. Stevens final
ly consented to an adjustment of the
differences.

SOS declared.
Possibility of German offensive in
the near east in case the western Of
fensive ends in a stalemate, is troubl-
ing Balkan statesmen. Germany will
have to bolster up Austrian morale
sooner or later, it is suggested, and
successful offensive against Italy will
aid greatly. The capture of Venice
would mean the establishment of a
base opposite Pola, which would elm
mate the necessity of transporting
troops, munitions and supplies through
mountain defiles.
A campaign on the Saloniki front
would be more difficult, however, and
would find the Allies better prepared.
Greek morale is admirable, according
to Roussos' cablegram from Foreign
Minister PoEtis. The foreign minis

GREEK MINISTER URGES THAT AL
LIES TAKE DECISIVE STEP In
THE EAST-SAYS THAT is GER
MANY'S WEAK SPOT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June s.
The eastern war theatre is urged by
Greek Minister George Roussos as
the logical spot for death blow at
the central empires.
In an interview with the United
Press, Dr. Roussos held the western
front would remain virtual fortress
where countless lives and incredible
amounts of munitions would be blast
ed away to no avail On the other
hand he argued, the east offered a
weak link in the Teuton chain-a
chance to achieve victory, without the
see-saw and the threatened stalemate
OF the west.
THE vital spot in the Teutonic al
lance is in the east" Roussos declar-
ed. Napoleon struck Italy and
brought the dual monarchy to its
knees. An offensive aimed at Lai-
bach and Vienna alone will shatter
Germanys mittlesurope scheme"
The United States has at last rec
ognized that Austria cannot be peace
fully estranged from Germany, he de-
clared, and the recognition of the
Jugo-Slav aspirations followed as the
logical result.
1.-THE Albanians and other Austria
Hungarian subjects, he continued
will never resoltg until Germany suf-
fers serious defeat" The Teuton mil
1tary machine has them at its mercy.
A concerted drive from Saloniki and
another from Italy towards Laibach,
BOla and Trentino, however, would
threaten Germany's now unchallenged
domination there
The Allies now have about 100000
troops in the Balkans" DR.. Roussos
stated Five hundred thousand of
these are British, French and Italians.
Two hundred thousand are Greeks.
Greece is rapidly modifying and can
add almost an equal number, bringing
the allied Balkan army to a million
men.
Germany has only four divisions on
the Saloniki front while the Bulga-
rians, Austrians and Turks make the
total around 100000. To conduct an
offensive with any reasonable chance
of success the central powers must

tions should in the slightest degree be
relaxed, it would result in serious
want for the people of Europe before
the new crop can reach them.
The food administrations estimate
of the position on June 1 indicates a
total available supply until the new
harvest of about 56,00O,O0O bushels.
OF this 30,000,000 bushels must be ex-
ported before new wheat is available
for report if we are to maintain the
absolutely necessary shipments to our
army and the allies
State administrators meeting here
this week were unanimous in the view
that even if the coming harvest does
prove abundant it will be the first duty
of the American people to place every
grain they can save into storage to
build up a reserve against possible bad
years ahead. In consequence there
should be no anticipation Of unlimit-
ed wheat bread until the war Is over.

President Wilson to Congress.

of vital character. ms Marshal Foch
had no authority to permit this.

in ports which shall be specified by
the Allies and the United States.
A general provision for dissrming
and interning all German war craft
existed in the former terms as in the
latter, but it was first stipulated that
the number OF submarines to be sur
rendered must be 16O The change
may mean that this number is more
than the actual number of C-boats in
