PARIS. Oct. 6. An Athens dispatch
to the Havas Agency says:
"Premier Venizelos has resigned, the
King having informed him that he was
unable to support the policy of his
ministry."
ATHENS. Out. 3. via Paris. Oct. 6.
Delayed in transmission.) The
French troops landing from transports
t Salonika. Greece, consist of 70,000
men. They will proceed along the
G uevijrheli-Uskup railroad to guard the
line.
ATHENS. Thursday. Sept. 30. via
Home and Paris, Oct. 5. (Delayed in
transmission.) Greece is able to put
1 So, 000 men. fully equipped, in the
field. Although the mobilization,
which Includes men up to 43 years of
Se. probably will call for 300,000
troops, tllutse over the ISO. 000 cannot
be armed.
Finances Depend on Allies.
It is said the government has suffi
cient funds to continue on a war foot
ing for one month. The problem, there
fore, is the obtaining of money from
the Triple Entente powers.
The mobilization will be completed
Sunday night (October 3). The sign
ing of the mobilization order created
general relief here. It was considered
xn extraordinary triumph for Premier
Venizelos. who is known to have had
ft long struggle with King Conatantine
before the monarch would yield to the.
T'remier's wishes.
Crowds gathered before the foreign
office and newspaper bulletin boards
this afternoon while M. Venizelos was
In conference with the king, the people
showing an ugly temper when rumors
of a resignation of the cabinet were
circulated.
Army Ignorant of Purpose.
A curious and disconcerting feature
of the Greek mobilization is the ignor
ance of the mobilized men as to their
destination or the purpose for which
were called to the colors.
The newspapers which usually In
dulge in the freest expression of opin
ion are generally silent respecting the
fate of the Serbian-Greek treaty of
alliance, which the King all along has
maintained was abrogated by the Serb
ians owing to their concessions to
Bulgaria, and the effectiveness of
which today is the key to the future
action of Greece.
A story generally current in. Athens
nd widely accepted as illustrating the
situation is that Premier Venizelos at
1 his conference with King Constantino
pleaded that the Serbian alliance must
be observed, if for no other reason than
a means of defense against Bulgaria.
Premier Retorts to Kins.
1 A close friend of King Constantino
Is authority for the statement that the
King, in reply, exhibited a telegram
from the German Emperor saying that
Greece would not be attacked by Bul
garia if she remained neutral and that
the Premier said:
"Does your majesty consider the
word of the man whose troops invaded
Belgium sufficient protection for
Greece?"
NOTICE GIVEN BY ROIJLIXIA
Bulgaria Twice Informed Mobiliza
tion Is Unfriendly Act.
PARIS, Oct. 5. "Premier Bratiano.
of Roumanla, already has twice in
ftirm.Ml Bulgaria that the latter's mob
ilisation is regarded by the Bucharest
govei ninent as an unfriendly act," says
the Matin. The newspaper adds:
"Roumanla. from a military point of
view, is ready for any eventuality,
thanks to the blunder on the part of Austria-Hungary,
which a month ago, closed
the frontier, which .save lioumania the
required pretext for concentrating
troops. Roumanla thus is safe from all
surprise attacks."

German Paper Recalls Indignation
of Allies Roa id ins Belgium.
LONDON. Oct. 6. The Tageblatt. of
Berlin, is quoted by Reuter's corre
spondent at Amsterdam as recalling
the indignation expressed by the en
tente powers at the violation of Bel
gium's neutrality by Germany.
Discussing the report that the allies
are sending troops to the assistance
of Serbia across Greek territory, the
Tageblatt says the . entente powers
have seized the first opportunity of
ignoring the rights of smaller nations,
notwithstanding their previous pre
tense of protecting them.

Tuesdays War Moves
RUSSIA'S ultimatum to Bulgaria ex
pired -at 4 o'clock yesterday, but
up to a late hour last night, so far as
known in London, no answer had been
received and none was expected.
It is taken for granted that King
Ferdinand and his ministers are defi
nitely committed to the Germanic al
lies, and. in return for European ter
ritory to be ceded after the war, has
undertaken to assist actively in the
operations against Serbia, thus hop
ing to open the way for the Austro
German army, the objective of which
is the Sea of Marmora.
The entente . powers, in this belief,
have landed or are landing, a force
at Saloniki, which will take upon itself
the duty of protecting the main rail
way line through Serbia and Greece
and give what assistance it can to the
Balkan allies, should they be attacked
by Bulgaria. This infringement of
Greek neutrality has brought forth a
formal protest from the Greek govern
ment, but in the words of one corre
spondent, "it is being winked at" by
the great majority of the people of
Greece.
The Opposition in the Greek chamber
also has made protest against the pol
icy of Premier Venizelos which, it is
said, is forcing Greece Into an unneces
sary war. The Chamber yesterday
passed a vote of confidence In the
Premier, but Paris has received news
that the Premier today resigned on
being informed by the King that the
latter could not give assent to his war
policy.
The next move devolves upon Bul
garia, and as soon as she moves, the
Anglo-French troops which are being
mobilized will be put in motion, while
the fleets in the Black Sea and the
Aegean will assume the appointed
roles.
Meanwnile. Russia, whose armies for
five months have been retiring, has
begun on energetic offensive along a
wide front from Rita to ntthi.i r
Vilna. and. according tn itnntruui
reports, has already mt -hk
slderable success. This, however, is
denied by Berlin, which says that all
the Russian attacks have been repulsed.
On the western front, the big guns
have again undertaken the task of at
tempting to level the German entrench
ments, presumably in preparation for a
continuation of the attacks which
proved successful in Artois and Cham
pagne. In some sectors there has been
infantry fighting, in which a trench or
a few yards of a trench, changes hands,
this being particularly the case in the
areas where the allies have made their

Xaval Advisory Board to
Organize Today.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. Congress
probably will be asked to approve in
December a continuing building policy
ror the Navy, having for its object
maintenance of the Navy on the basis
of at least 4S first-class battleships.
The proportion of superbattle cruisers,
scouts. destroyers, submarines and
auxiliaries would ue worked out from
this figure.
Secretary Daniels said today that
the proposal to recommend to Con
gress the establishment of this policy
had been discussed by him both with
President Wilson and with Chairman
Padgett of the House naval affairs
committee.
Urflnl'.e Drrlalon Delayed.
While he explained that no definite
decision had been reached, the Secre
tary Indicated that he was inclined to,
favor such a plan. The Navy General
Board for many years has computed its
construction estimates on a basis simi
lar to that suggested, but the proposal
to write the plan into an appropriation
bill as a definite and continuing build
ing policy never has received the ap
proval of any Secretary of the Navy.
Secretary Daniels declared that if
the policy received the approval of the
pcopie lie had little doubt that Con
gresses to come would follow it tn
principle, so that the yearly expendi
ture on the Navy could be computed
in advance with a considerable degree
of accuracy.
Ammunition ReMcrvm Neerannry.
Congress will be asked also to make
more liberal provision in reserves of
ammunition than ever before has been
thought necessary. Secretary Daniels
said the necessity of huge reserves of
ammunition had been the most strik
ing lesson drawn from the European
war. The amount to be sought for this
purpose was not disclosed.
Thomas A, Edison, chairman of the
Naval Advisory Board, arrived in
Washington tonight to preside over
the first meeting of the board here'
tomorrow. The other 22 members are
all expected to be present.
At a brief session the board w-ill
plan for future meetings, for divisions
of labor among its members and for
conferences with many experts. Then
the members will go to the White
House to be received by President Wil
son and will visit the Naval proving
grounds at Indian Head to see testa of
the newest 14-inch Navy gun.
The first problem for the civilian
board will be that of developing satis
factory gasoline or oil engines for
aeroplanes and submarines.
The problem of defense against tor
pedo attack probably ranks second in
importance.
.MONROE DOCTRINU ON TRIAL
Minister From Panama Says Amer
ica Is Facinj Test.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. Eusebia A.
Morales, the Minister from Panama,
speaking here today at a conference
on National defense, being conducted
under the auspices of the Navy League. Q
the National Rifle Association and the
Council of National Defense, declared
all the American republics were watch
ing the preparedness of the United
States because, he said, upon it 'depends
the defense of the Monroe Doctrine.
The declaration of the United States
that the American continent cannot be
the object of conquest or foreign ag
gression, he said, now faces threat
ening realities.
"Suppose," said Dr. Morales, "that
England and France are vanquished
during this war? What will be the
fate of their colonies in America? Will
the American continent look with in
difference on the occupation by Ger
many of French and British Guinea, of
British Honduras and the islands which
enclose the Caribbean Sea? .
"The answer appears to be obvious."
Dr. Morales said that the Monroe
Doctrine faced "threatening realities."
and that because of it the National
defense of the United States was inti-:
mately bound up with the whole of the
American continent.
"In the face of the present situation."
he continued, "it would be wise not tc
persist In the illusion of security In
which we have lived, but to create for
the deTcnse of the continent and the
harmonious development of the Ameri
can nations an organization which In
itself would command respect.
"In this organization there falls
upon the United States the preponder
ant role, not only because it Is the
most powerful country of the conti
nent, but because It has voluntarily
constituted itself the champion of the
other American nations."
