j. S. RECOGNITION

Formal recognition OF the Jugo-
Slavs by this Government was asked
Of the state Department today.
That President Wilson and Secre-
tary of State Lansing will consider
the appeal worthy OF favorable ac-
ton Is generally believed. especially
as IL would be a fresh step toward
Remembering Austria.
In making the request, the Jugo-
Slavs submitted an official memoran-
dunn, pointing to reasons for recog-
MIXING the Jugo-Slavs, as was done
with Czecho-Slavs.
The Jugo-Slav leaders are agreed
upon unification OF the Austrian Slavs.
the Serbs and Montenegro in one dem
ocratic state.
The basic principles of the con-
tempIated southern Slav state are
noted as, Full equality OF the three
branches which are to form the new
state, full equality of religions, no
coercion, but absolute free self-de-
termination OF the nation with regard
to all questions of the future state
life"
Jugo-Slavs in America are taking
radical steps " wipe out pro-German
and pro-Austrian propaganda among
their countrymen here who were
formerly Austrian subjects.
Strong resolutions have been
adopted by the National Croatian
Society. the largest Jugo-Slav ma
tional organization in America. num-
ering over $4,000 members. aimed at
disloyal agitators.

init to perform marriages in the Dis
trict to the Rev. Gavril S. Pantelidfs,
dean Of the Orthodox Church" and
pastor Of the Independent Greek
Church OF ConstAntin and HelenI at
Sixth and C streets southwest
The granting Of a permit to marry

nit to perform marriage ceremonies

posed by the Most Rev. Meledios Me-
taxaISis, Metropolitan of the Holy
Synod and archbishop OF the Greek
Orthodox Church, and the Rev. Joac-
kim Aexopoulos, pastor Of the Greek
Church Of st. Sophia They alleged
that the Rev. Menedis was without
proper authority from the Greek
Church to perform the functions Of
q priest Of that church.
