TJIE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1917. GREECE WILL PUT -ARMY" INTO FIELD Allies Furnish Troops Equip ment; People and Present Ministry in Full Accord. VENIZELOS VERY POPULAR Greek Minister in Washington Gives Summary of Situation in His Country and Declares Pro German Party Extinct. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. Greece is nearly ready to put a. large and effec tive army in ' the field to co-operate with the allies, according to dispatches from the Athens Foreign Office to the Greek Legation here. Lack of equip ment is being remedied rapidly with the allies" aid. Minister Roussos today gave the fol lowing summary of the situation in his country as described in the lega tion's dispatch: "The situation in Greece is becom ing more satisfactory every day. The people arc thoroughly confident of the efficiency of their government and they are willing to allow the present min istry to continue in the work of reor ganization of the resources of the country so that Greece may throw her full strength into the war. No Pro-German Party "ow. "There is now no pro-German party in Greece. In fact, such a party never existed save in the person of King Constantine, aided by certain members of his court. But he Knew the real feelings of the Greek people, who were attracted by tradition and sympathy with the western powers of Europe, and he never dared to openly express his pro-German convictions. He did his best, on the contrary, to conceal them, speaking always about his friendship for the allies and trying to convey the impression that his atti tude was that of benevolent- neutral ity. People Loved Tbelr King. "The Greek people had a real affec tion . for their King and confidence in his word, which accounts for the fact that his pseudo policy had many sup porters. Filially certain acts of the King's entourage created a. suspicion in the minds of the people and they backed Mr. Venizelos in his Saloniki movement. which brought Greece frankly and loyally into the war. Today the real state of affairs as regards the court has been exposed. The abdication of King Constantine without bloodshed or an uprising of the people indi cates the absence of any organized pro-German feeling, although certain of the political opponents of Venizelos are using the argument that there are still German propagandists in the country. Order A'ow Reigns. "The reasoning people of Greece had long realized that Constantine's policy was carrying the country to ruin, and relief was felt when he abdicated. Per fect order npw reigns throughout the country and malcontents have been dis posed of. "The French troops were received with great enthusiasm when they landed at Piraeus. Mr. Venizelos Is cheered whenever he appears, as he is Vf.ry popular with all the people. All events have proved that his policy was the only one Greece could adopt. "King Alexander is in perfect accord with his people and with the govern ment, and his good faith is unques tioned. Greece will now use every ef fort to aid the common cause."

FINAL DECISION DESIRED Associated Press Asks Highest Tri bunal In Land to Put News Serv ice on Sound and Indis putable Foundation. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The Supreme Court decided today to review Federal decrees which restrained the Inter national News Service, or Hearst serv ice, from pirating news from the As sociated Press. This does not stay operation of injunctions already ex isting, court officials say, but merely provides for a review, to which there is no opposition by the Associated Press. Attorneys for the International News Service last Summer asked Justice Brandeis to stay temporarily the in junctions of the lower court, but this was denied. I'M n a 1 Decision Dealred. The case of the Associated Press against the International News Service for pirating news was decided by the Circuit Court of Appeals of this dis trict. There was no right of appeal, but both sides petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review it, the Associated Press being anxious to secure a decision of the highest tribunal in the United States upon the subject. The application of the Associated Press for a writ of certiorari recited that it "would be content to rest its rights upon the decisions below with out requesting the Supreme Court to assume the burden, except that nothing but a decision of the Supreme Court can assure this great service a sound and indisputable foundation and fore stall a great quantity of costly and harassing litigation all over the coun try in both Federal and state courts." Anti-Trust Snlt Hearings Set. The war will have no effect upon the Government's prosecution of the five great anti-trust suits now pend ing in the Supreme Court. Solicitor- General Davis says agreement has been reached with attorneys for the Inter national Harvester Company, whereby the dissolution suit will not be con sidered until after arguments in the steel suit in January. The coal trust cases will come up in their regular order and will be reached late in November. The Supreme Court will expedite the Government's anti-trust suit against the United Shoe Machinery Company and has fixed January 7 for rehearing arguments. The lower court held the company blameless, and the Govern ment appealed. Drug Lair In Effect.
