YENIZELOS BENT ON ACTION Ex-Premier Declares Nation's Ideals Are in Peril. CROWN ADVISERS BLAMED King Declared to Have No Respon sibility Under Constitution At titude Held to Favor Bul garia and Turkey. LONDON. Nov. 5. King Constantino has again offered the Premiership to Jr. Zaimis, who had resigned on the defeat of his Ministry in the Chamber according to a Renter dispatch from Athens. M. Zaimis refused to accept the offer and a council of Ministers was called, the dispatch adds. M. Zaimis refused to retain the post, the correspondent says, originally. Al though he had provisionally accepted the Premiership to ease the situation he was determined, as he had previously declared, to abstain from taking an active part in internal politics. Britain's Promises Explained. One of the statements . of . M. . Veni zelos which attracted special attention In the debate in the Chamber of Depu ties was that Great Britain's offer to cede the Island of Cyprus to Greece was independent of the result of the war, -while other promises of conces sions were conditional on the success of the allies. Greece, he said, was to acquire part of the villayet of Brusa and Bulgaria Thrace, while Bulgaria was to be shorn of the territory she gained as a result of the Balkan War. Cost to Greece Small. All this, he declared, would be ob tained by Greece at small cost, since the proposals of the entente powers required only the assistance of smaller units of the Greek fleet. Referring to the allegation that Ser bia had failed to send against the Bul garians 150,000 men in accordance with the provisions of the treaty of the alliance, M. Venizelos said she actually had 130.000 troops opposed to the Bui Ears. If Greece had taken the Held, the ex-Premier asserted, her army to day would have been within a short distance of Sofia. and Serbia could have devoted her energies to holding back the Auslro-Germans, whose numbers were lews than had been reported. Confidence In Government Lost. M. Venizelos declared that the ,for eign policy of the government did not have the confidence of the country. "Moreover." he added, dramatically, "We consider It fatal to the country." Under the constitutional regime, he said, the King could have no respon sibility. Ex-Premier Veniaelow said, however, that he did not mean to tliraw on the King responsibility for the present sit uation in Greece. He blamed those who had failed to advise His Majesty as they ought and said the crown could not refuse to recognize the vote of confidence accorded by the Chamber of Deputies to the preceding Cabinet. M. Oounaris, Minister of the Interior, Interrupting, said he thought the pol icy of M. Venizelos would lead the country to ruin and that to take oppo sition against the central powers would be disastrous for Greece and Serbia. Apologj- Made for Past. Resuming his speech, M. Venizelos apologized for his policy of last Febru ary and discussed the benefits which Greece might have realized if her neu trality had not been maintained. Con tinuing, he said: "Your policy has rendered our na tional ideals impossible, and in serv ing involuntarily a German political group we are exposed to the danger of aiding Bulgarian aspirations and the growth of Turkish power. Why not take part today In a 'war which tomor row wi'l be inevitable?" OREGON CITYMUST CUT Charter Invalidates Provision tor $1350 in City Budcct. OREGON C1TV, Or.. Nov. 5. (Spe cial.)

Opinion Divided on Campaign iu Balkans Cardona Triumphs in His Refusal to Join. ROME, via Paris. Nov. 5. Sharp differences of opinion have developed in the Cabinet concerning the war. These differences have led to an excit ing incident. One of the ministers at a recent meeting of the CaDinet is said to have expressed the view that Italy's inter ests would be server best by assisting a movement toward the restoration of peace. This caused an angry protest, and charges were made against the good faith, of. the minister suggesting peace. Epithets were exchanged, and one of the ministers threw a book at the colleague whose suggestion had caused the strife. "While a Cabinet crisis such as those which have occurred in France. Eng land and Russia has been avoided, opinion, heri , is divided- concerning the conduct of the war, especially as re gards a Balkan expedition. Lieutenant-General Count Cadorna has tri umphed, in this respect. He said he would rather resign as chief of the general staff than allow a part of his troops to participate in a Balkan un dertaking, and his view was finally adopted by the entire Cabinet. The Navy - Department also has passed through a crisis. Admiral Camillo Corsi was substituted for Vice Admiral Viale as Minister of Marine, and this action was quickly followed by the" relieving of Vice-Admiral Thaon di Revel from the head of the naval general staff. Vice-Admiral Corsl has now assumed active direction of the fleet, which is expected to lead an aggressive campaign. NEW DREADNOUGHT SPEEDY Oil-Burning .Nevada Makes 20.54 Knots an Hour for 12 Hours.

STANDARDS ARE DEBATED Directors Fear School Efficiency Would Be Impaired and Best Instructors Lost if Reduc tion Urged Were Adopted. Members of the committee from the Taxpayers' League "choked" on the item of teachers' salaries at the meet ing of the budget committee yesterday afternoon. After an hour and a half spent In debate, the School Board passed the salary schedule as it appeared in the budget, despite the protests of cer tain members of the Taxpayers' League that a horizontal cut should be made In all branches of Instruction. The meeting held over until far past the dinner hour and the budget was entirely covered. The approximate total for 1916 will be $2,653,000 and will mean, so far as the district is now able to determine the valuation of school property, that a levy of 6.5 mills will be necessary. Salary Cut Urged. The salary schedule was the fourth in the list of items to. be considered at yesterday's meeting. Dr. A. J. Giesy opened the argument in favor of salary cuts oy aeciaring that "inasmuch as the taxpayers have had to retrench I see no reason why the teachers of the district should not participate In the retrenchment, and that since the sala ried people In other lines of endeavor have had their salaries cut, there is justification in cutting the salaries of the school teachers." Leo Frlede. another member of the committee from the Taxpayers' League, asked who made out the salary sched ule, arid when told that the Board did, said that he would recommend a salary cut of 10 per cent in all branches of instruction. Knowledge Not Only Requirement. In looking over the branches of in struction he declared that the domestic science teachers were receiving more than they could gain if they put to practical use that samo training and experience. He was told that it takes something besides the knowledge of a subject for that subject to be imparted to the child, and that the teacher is being paid as much for the ability to teach the sub ject outlined as for the knowledge that was at hand. C. Henri Labbe. the third member of the committee from the Taxpayers' League, insisted that there is a feel ing among the initiated ones that the qualifications for instructors in sew ing, particularly, are few and that It is a popular opinion that the sewing teachers are not all well prepared.

SOFT AMMUNITION, BUT EVERY SHOT'S A BRYAN BREAK WITH WILSON IS DEFINITE Speech of President - " " PARTY'S FUTURE IS AFFECTED Ex-Secretary's Opposition Is Challenged in Advance. OLIVE BRANCH WITHDRAWN Alienation of Support From Admin istration Fully Expected Fight - on Other Policies Probably Will Follow. BY JOHN C ALLAN O'LAUGHLIN. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. (Special.) William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State for two years and the man who made Woodrow Wilson President of the United States, broke finally and defi nitely today with the Chief Executive. The cause of the break, which 'may have vital influence on the future of the Democratic party, was President Wilson's preparedness programme. That programme, which was described gen erally by the President in his Manhat tan Club speech last night, is set forth in detail in a formal statement made by Secretary of War Garrison tonight. Challenge to Christianity Detected. President Wilson proclaimed the ne cessity of an Increase for the -Regular Army, the creation of a better National Guard and the organization of a citi zen army of 400,000 men. Secretary Garrison asserts that the policy proposed by the Administration proceeds upon the basis of existing con ditions of a legal and constitutional nature and recognizes existing Insti tutions and the feeling of the people concerning the general subject mat ter. Mr. Bryan denounces the Adminis tration's policy as a departure from our traditions, a reversal of our National policy a . menace:, to -our- peace - and safety and a challenge to the spirit of Christianity which teaches us to in fluence other 3 by example rather than by exciting fear. Expected Issue Precipitated. Thus the issue expected by the Ad ministration when Mr. Bryan laid down the portfolio of Secretary of State is clearly Joined. The President prepared for Mr. Bryan's statement by inserting In his Manhattan Club speech the challenge: "If men differ with me In this vital matter, I shall ask them to make it clear how far, and in what way, they are interested in making the perma nent interests of this country safe against disturbance." Mr. Bryan presents no plan. He has none and repudiates the idea. He does not want the Nation, to quote his own language, "to tote a pistol or to carry a club." He asks why our policy cf unpreparedness should be reversed, when the President himself said: "We are not threatened from any quarter." The President anticipates Mr. Bryan In these words: "I would not feel that I was dis- (Concluded on Page 7. Column 1.) BULLSEYE. Friday's War Moves ANOTHER 21 hours have complicated rather than clarified the situation In Greece, the attitude of whose King Is causing the entente powers much concern. Apparently determined that M. Zaimis shall remain In the office of Prime Minister. King Constantine yes terday urged him to retain the Premier ship. Acording to Athens dispatches, however. M. Zaimis declined to ac quiesce in the King's desire, whereupon the King called a councIT of ministers, the deliberations of which may or may not determine whether Greece is to align herself against Bulgaria or per sist in her attitude of "benevolent neutrality," which means that, though the allied troops may cross her soil, her armies shall not aid them In driv ing the Bulgarians from Serbia. While. Greece hesitates, the Serbian northern army is being slowly but surely ground down before the com bined pressure of the Austro-German and .Bulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by a hair, and It is only at the southern end of the battle front that the Bulgars are meeting with any reverses. There, according to reports, the British are co-operating with the French, but as heretofore, these reports are unofficial and fragmentary and it cannot be said authoritatively whether the British are In touch with their new enemy. , If the Bu'lgar-German tide is turned, the opinion in London is that It will be some weeks hence, involving a period of uncertainty such aa preceded before Paris and on the Tser. But giving the entente powers a month's time, it is argued that they could throw nearly 600,000 men Into Serbia, not including Russians, and not only dispute the ad vance of the central powers, but con test Bulgaria's occupation of Serbian Macedonia. The Germans remain on the defensive in the east and west. Neither theater has developed any large battles. A British official communication from the Gal!lpoll Peninsula yesterday says the Turks launched attacks against the British right in the Anzac region, but that they did not dent the British line.

EXPERIMENT IS SUCCESS Noise Does Not Affect Clearness of Voices and Ordinary Conditions Prevail Erery-Pay Desk Telephone Is TTscd. '; WASHINGTON. Nov. 5. Secretary Daniels transmitted today the first naval order ever sent by wireless tele phone to Rear-Admiral Usher at the New York Navy-yard. From his desk in the Navy Depart ment, the Secretary talked to the com mandant of the New York Navy-yard by way of the big Government radio towers at Arlington and ordered a report on repairs to the dreadnought New York. Navy officials say the accomplish ment brings closer the day when the Secretary of the Navy may sit at his desk in Washington and talk to the fleet commanders all over the world. Cable Order Trannmlltrd. Secretary Daniels transmitted this verbal order, which was taken down by a stenographer in Admiral Usher's office and acknowledged verbally by the Admiral himself: "Rear-Admiral Usher, commandant. New York Navy-yard: Report as soon as practicable after the arrival of the New York how soon can the repairs required be completed. "DANIKLS." Navy wireless stations in all parts of the country were eavesdropping to catch the conversation. While Secre tary Daniels was still talking with Ad miral Usher, the Charleston, .S. C. sta tion telegraphed that the order had been overheard and copied there. -Mrs. Daniels Haa Privilege. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt fol lowed Secretary Daniels at the radio telephone, and later Mrs. Daniels re ceived the distinction of being the first woman to converse by wireless waves. The Secretary's office was crowded with Naval officers and bureau offi cials during the demonstration, which lasted half an hour. Many of them conversed with Admiral Usher. The instrument used was the regular desk telephone on Mr. Daniels' desk. It carried the sound to the great Ar lington, Virginia, radio station, where the transfer was made automatically by delicate mechanism and the voices of the speakers hurled out into the -ir to be audible thousands of miles away by the radio operator, whose set happened to be tuned to the right pitch and who was listening. Ordinary Conditions Met. To all appearances it was an ordin ary long-distance telephone conversa tion. No effort was made to Mibdue the hum of voices in Secretary Daniels' office, and apparently the noise did not affect the clearness of the voices as heard in New York. Replies to ques tions come back instantly and with little need for repetitions. 9 BABES BORN I.N 2 BIRTHS Kentucky Woman Presents Four 18 Months Following Quintuplets. LEXINGTON, Ky.. Nov. 5.
