 While the absolute release of cer- tain classes or great reductions in their sentences have been arranged. the decree announces this is not ap- plicable in the case of those sen tcneed in participation in white guard plots, espionage, open armed revolt or in the case of leaders of anti bolshevism, such as General Makno and Petlura, the Ukrainian leaders.
 Thus the members of the, executive committee of the. social revolutionists who have long been in prison, will remain there The death sentences of all persons for other offenses whose cases have reached the appeal stage, are eommuted to five years Imprisonment.
 Complete release has been or dered of all persons sentenced to conditional deprivation of liberty. those sentenced, to terms of under one year. desertors from the red army during the civil war, peasants and workmen participating in the Kron- stadt revolt and those imprisoned for -fulfillment of acquisitions, while those sentenced to longer terms for other offenses will have their tnl- prisonment reduced from one-half 70 onc-third, depending upon the length of the original penalty.

CONSTANTINE DEPENDS HIMSELF

CONSTANTINE DEPENDS HIMSELF Paxton Hibben, F. R. G. S., in I.eslte's,
 Shortly after l arrived here in this God-forsaken town of Ushak where the Greek general staff (for Its sins) established it's headquarters, and King Constantine had come to take command in person of the Hellenic army against the Turks, I was talk Ing with him about what the Greeks were going to do next, when all of a sudden, he sprung 1t on me.
 They've got it all worked out in America that I was a rank pro-Ger- man during the war and did my best to keep Greece from Joining the all lies, haven't they?" he said
 well. to be perfectly truthful, they have" I replied.
 Funny thing that" he unused. For, you see. the situation here in Greece during the war was u good deal like an election in the United States. l mean, it was all politics. Mud-sling- ing. k-biting, propaganda--all that sort of thing. The allies wanted the Greek army on their side, and the Greeks didn't want to come in except on certain very definite terms.
 Its so silly to think that 1 would be German in any way--or anything but Greek. 1 was born here and brought up here and educated here. l spent few months in school in Ger many. but my goodness. so have thousands of Americans. On the oth- CT hand. my brothers and my children were educated, in a large measure at least, in England
 Well. you see, sir, being the kaisers brother-in-law Is a consider- able of a handicap, you'll admit" 1 answered
 Look here. I had one Russian brother law, one Russian sister-in- law, one English one, one French one, and now l have one American sister er-in-law, as well. My German brother -in-law I didn't see a dozen times in my life, while my Russian and English sisters-in-laws lived right in Athens. and saw them every day of my life, l was married S2 years ago, and my wife and have lived in Greece ever since. Moreover, my wife's mother was English And even if I am the Kaiser's brother law, anyhow I am not the brother in-law of Friederich Ebert. President of the German republic.
 All of those stories they used to print in the American newspapers and Sunday supplements about me were rather ridiculous thingsi
 My father was elected by the Greek people quite as much as Pres dent Harding was elected by the American people. Greece is the most democratic country in the world. There are notifies of nobility here, and there never will be any king in Greece who was not as good Greek and as democratic as every body else Is could not last week.
 What people in a republic do not seem to understand is that king has a definite job, like the job of being head of a hospital or president of bank or an insurance company What he has to do is all laid down in black and white. and he does that ana there his function ends.

Heflin Would
 Collect Debt
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Hernld
 BOO Davidson lfuIldi

DUU UdNlusOu bubuiuB Washington. November 7.-tSpe- cial. .)--In the face of the request of Secretary Mellon of the treasury de- partment that he be given absolute authority to extend the s11,00o,oo0.- oOU debt owed by Europe to the Unit ed States, Senator Heflin of Alabama this afternoon proposed an amend ment to the pending tax bill instruct ing the secretary to take immediate steps to collect the debt. It was tho sense of the proposed amendment that the interest on the debt would be paid. as d bonus to American sol diers. Senator Lodge, republican leader, made the point that the debt was so involved that it was impos- sible to state when even the interest would be collected. He declared. however, that eventually 1t would go to benefit the soldiers. The Heflin amendment was defeated.

OUR SOLDIER BcYs HAVE "rEAS

OlN SOhDA1Ab bVA nh H. From "Oxford and Cambridge, As
 Seen By American Soldier-Stu-
 dents." by Edwin W. Pahlow, in
 Scribner's.
 After exercises came another insti- tuition even more startling than uni- versal participation in athletics--teal It was more or less of a shock to find that the fellow who out-rowed you on the river or outplayed you at tennis went to their own or some other fellows room and drank tea This ushered in the third phase of the days life--the social phase.
 The social life centered in the col leges. In this, as in other phases of Oxford and Cambridge life. the uni versity was, as one soldier student expressed it. ''yery unobtrusive." The colleges were homes where at the evening meal all the members came together as in a large family. They proved to be very democratic places; much more so. many thought. than our American colleges. There were were, they were nconspicuous enough not to call forth comments from single soldierf student, while number remarked upon their ab sence. The absence of fraternities commended itself to many who re- garded the college system as having all the advantages and none of the disadvantages of the fraternity sys tenn, and as being the best antidote for it. Finally, there were no co-eds. which was "a great relief to at least one soldier-student, though plenty of others were not at all sorry that there were women's colleges nearby One Yank informed his tutor in philosophy that he had added to his schedule course in Girton, to which the don replied that he hoped he would make better progress there than he was making in Aristotle.
 The first impression the soldier students had of the English student and 1t was a pretty general one-was that he was hard to get to know "self contained. inhospital, a verit- able iceberg" But this feeling wore off after awhile, and what had seemed to be snobbishness was really in many cases shyness or conserva- tive waiting to see how we took things" "Once, the stiffness is worn off, the Englishman is splendid mixer. An American will get along much better with a Frenchman for the first hour. but over longer pe- .riod the Englishman wears better"

CARRIERS SUBMIT
 THEIR PROPOSALS
 ID REVISE RATES
Public Not to Know Offers Made Till Commission Experts Complete
 Checking Up
By FRED sI. GORNLEA Montgomery Bureau, The Age nerald 22i-2 First National Bank Buildins

Montgomery, November 7.-tspe- ciaI.)-Proposal for general re- vision of railroad rates in Alabapa were submitted to the public service commission Monday by the Southern railway for all trunk lines in the state with the exception of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad. and by the Louisville and Nashville railroad for itself All short line railroads will present their proposals later.
 Until a general checking np is made by engineers and rate experts of the public service commission the public cannot know what proposals have been made by the railroads In and the information may be placed in proper form for all persons who are interested, the commission, after the proposals were made, postponed further consideration of the case un- til December 12. on which date the representatives of the caruiers will submit testimony in support of the revsions which they have proposed
 After this testimony has been sub mitted representatives of the public and all persons opposing the pro- posals will be called for testimony. It Is probable the testimony of the carriers will consume two or three weeks when the case is called again December i2.
 Reductions and Increases
 N B. Wright. assistant freight Georgia. stated to the commission that the scale was proposed for unl- formity between adjoining state rates on the one hand and interstate rates on the other, and that he did not believe the new scale would add to the carriers revenue. He said there would be both reductions and increases but that inequalities were ironed out in the proposal.
 Commissioner B. H. Cooper devel- oped during the hearing that the rates on ground and pulverized lime stone for agricultural purposes would be decreased. Answering Mir. Coop CTS question Mr Wright stated that the new rate on this commodity would be considerably less than the present statutory rate on fertilizer.
 1t was decided by the parties con vencd to consolidate the proposal of the Western of Alabama relative to rates to Lanett with the general case which will be heard beginning De- cember 12. The commi ssion finished itssdocket during the day, there being only minor matters outside of the rate cases.

ARARIAN HERoIsM

Col. Thomas E. Lawrence, in the Worlds Work, gives this very vivid description of the death of one of his Arabian chiefs:
 After some minutes Talal very slowly drew his headcloth about his face, and then seemed to take hold of himself. for he dashed his stir rups into his horses Hanks and gall loped headlong. bending low in the saddle and swaying as though he would fall, straight at the main body of the enemy. It was long ride, down the gentle slope and across the hollow, and we all sat there like stone while he rushed forward. the drumming of his horses hoofs sounds ing unnaturally loud in our ears. We had stopped shootin8 and the Turks had stopped shooting, both armies waited for him. He flew on in this husfied evening, till he was only a few lengths from the enemy.
