London, Nov. 23. Greece in believed to hnvo yielded sufficiently to the al lies' demands to have obviated the ne cessity for coercing her. This conclusion is based on the of ficial doniul here today that any Greek whips have been seized or held in Bri tish ports or that any blnckado of Greece lias been established. Aulhorilies assume that if fireece had not at least promised to refrain from interference with tho allies in -tlio Balkans, the step of blncknding her and seizing her ships would have been taken.

Armed with fresh arguments as to why it ill be hope less for Oi'eece to resist tho nllies' demands, Dcnys Cochin, of the French cabinet, will again meet King Coustnn timo. Arrangements for the confer ence were completed today. Cochin has inspected the situation at Salonika and conferred with tho Ser bian war minister, and is now ready to make a final appeal to Greece to insure their needed aid. The allies do not insist on direct Orecia participation in tho war but they do stand pat for assurances of a "hand off" policy on the pnrt of Groeco, no matter how tho Balkan fighting develops.

The serious position of Greece, if. she continues to defy the allies, has bee'H strongly represented to the Greek min ister by Foreigu Minister Connino. Signs of great activity about tho for oign office followed this warning. Whethor this indicated early Greek ac quiescence or foreshadowed further compulsory steps was not revealed, but no secret was made of the fnet, that Italy is co-operating with her nllies in exerting pressure on Greece. In viow of the fact that Greece and Italy have been closely associated, dip lomatically, Sonnino hns Btrong influ ence with the Grcoks. Answering King Constantine 's plea that ho cannot resist Belgium's fate, if Germany chooses to inflict it, tho al lies have urged thnt tho Teutons will nevor bo in a position to accomplish this, while the allies through their blockade and otherwise can immediate ly render Greece's posttiou impos sible. It is reported here that Constantine has consented to comply with the al lies' wishes if they send nn adequate force into the Balkans, so that his na tion may not. bo overwhelmed by tho enemy. Tho issue now is as to what is adequato in this respect. Reports that the allies 'aro search ing Greece sliipn, in connection with (heir blockado, have been confirmed. Moreovor, the blockade is tightening daily. This is expected to have the effcefr of hastening the Greek decision. One report is that Greece is favor ablo to the allies, except on tho ques tion of participation in the war. This point, howavor, it is sum, may uo sat satisfactorily arranged.

Any servant, guaran teed not to keep a germ, will get 425 a month in and about Montclnir.

The campaign thus foiled is believed to have boon pnrt of a giirantic plan including a Riissiun march across Persia, for a junction with tho other allied forces in the llngdnd region. The Russians, however .failed to accomplish their pnrt of the program. The German view is that the nllies are now playing their last card, and ore now trying to land enough forces in Greece to menace German communi cations with Constantinople. Tho al lies, however, underestimate the cen tral powers' strength. Germany alone has J 1,000,000 men in uniform, while her allies have other vast armies.

L IS District Attorney Makes Opening Statement In Steamship Case New York, Nov. 23. Naval Attache Boy-ed of the German embassy was named directly today in the alleged Hamburg-Ameriaen Steamship officials plot to supply German commerce raid ers. With the jury finally picked, Assistant District Attorney Wood, in outlining the case', said that Boy-ed claimed that a fund of $750,000 was deposited with the firm of Essen & Kullenkamp. ' . Uf this amount SUOO.ooo was sent to San Francisco for Pacific coast activi ties, he said. The deposit was made in August 1914 by a "higher up," whom Wood said the government bad been unable to identify. Hie hard Wrigloy, a ship broker, ver ified documents showing that he nego tiated for vessels to carry the defend ants' supplies to Gorman raiders. Four government witnesses were missing when tho case started today, including a Philadelphia business man who is known to have gone to Bermuda. The money sent to San Francisco, Wood declared, was to supply three ships, after chartering them. " Coal and other goods, ho indicated, were taken out by the three to the raider Leipscig. One vesBol was purchased outright. All theso transactions, Wood charged wero under Boy-cd's supervision. Tho Hamburg-American officials, he charged, conspired completely in fur nishing these supplies, and in so doing "roue rough shod over American treat ies and laws as though they wore mere scraps of paper. The defense aerced to admit many facts stated by Wood, but announced It would contend they constituted no violation -of United States laws or treaties. The admission that Boy-ed had any connection with tho incidents was wthdrnwu. Foreign Trade Scheme Interests Wall Street New York, Nov. 23. There was lit tie news today having a bearing on fin ancial values in the stock market. The chief interest centered in tho announce ment of organization of a powerful corporation to finance expanmon of ox port trade interests, but chiefly with a view to conditions after tho war. This is ono of the signB of the day like the increased trade witn Noutp America, and the arrival of the French commission to prepare for placing largo post bellum orders which are bound to set people thinking about the new econ omic era presently to begin, A matter of perhaps enure immediate interest was the dcclino in six months money rates to all but an unprecedent- edly low figure for the season. The stock movement was of a deso ultory chnractor. As a whole, tho market was strong, but it was mado up chiefly of readjust ment by professional operations, of their speculative accounts. It was the dullest market since the middle of Sep tember. Gross earnings of western rail ways, as reported for the second week of November exceeded not only the snme week o f 1914, but also of 1913 and 1912. Albany Man Killed By Oregon Electric Train Lesllo McOourt, a young man of Al bany, aged 23 yenrs, was killed at a littlo after noon today by the South bound Oregon Kloetric train at the gravel pit about 1-2 milo north of the city limits of Albany. McCort had been hunting and wns walking along the Oregon Electric track when the Southern Pacific train came along on the track which is parallel to the O. E. tracks at this place. Tho noiso of the 8 P. train prevented tho young man from hearing tho approach of tho elec tric train which struck him and cut off his head and broko both arms and both legs. His gun, which ho was carrying on his arm, exploded and tho barrel was blown to pieces and added to the wounds on tho young mun's body. As Bolivio dragged his victim to the cellar grave, Matron! regained consci ousness. "Tony! God save me," he shrieked "I couldn't see his face In the dark ness, tho police quoted Bolivio as say ing, "but I threw a big stone on top of his head and jammed him down until he quit yelling. Then I threw some dirt and stone on him and pounded the ground down hnrd." The murder story come to light aftar Bolivio was jailed for a slabbing af fnlr. The victim's wife then revealed tho murder story to the police, saying that he and hor son Charles watched the burial, but feared to toll because Bulivio bad threatened she would meet a similar fate Mi ULGARIANS LOSE TEH THOUSAND Battle of Monastir Said To Have Been Fiercely . .

Officials i presume that the Bulgers fired the town in re prisal for soins Serb net. Driven trom the liabuiia Pass and Prilep, the Serbs rallied before Monas tir and with reckless courage turned tho tide of buttle against more num erous forces. T)e Bulgars retired five miles and still'tiold this position. JNow, it is believed, Monnstir can hold out. The. British from Salonika are swarming ia.

The" Bulgars have been repulsed' at Vodoco, according to reports losing 000 prisoners. No large Serb forces had been reported there by previous ad vices, so it is assumed that strong French bodies either took Veles or do-, toured to get into that struggle. These reverses for the central al lies brighten the entente outlook vast ly anl caused great rejoicing here. Serbs Repulse Bulgars. Athens, Nov. 23, Repulsing the Bulgars, the Serbs have regained the Veles-l'rilep front in southorn Serbia, said the Serbian Official statement to day. The Serb army countered after a desperate rally before Monastir, and drove the Bulgars back over 20 miles. This partially restored tho Serb line, and places the right wing in touch with the French bfore Veles. It also clears a strip of from 30 to 40 miles wide in Southern Serbia. Even if the enoniy compels tho Serbs to retire, the allies are 'Confident that an orderly retreat is assured and that there is now no danger that the Serbs will be driven into Albania, where thoy might meet a hostile reception.

REP is owtr x wont SOCIALISTS WILL FIGHT WAR TO THE END, SAYS LEADER Br Carl W. Ackerman. (United Press staff correspondent.) Borlin, Nov. 22 (Delayed) German socialists are determined to fight the long war to the end rather than agree to a peace that "will bend Gentnany to her knees." This is the view of Philip Scheidemann, socialist member of the reichstag, who outlined today the position the socialists will take when the reichstag convenes again De cember 13. "The German, socialist party is for peace every day," he said, ."but not for the kind that our enemies desire. Premier Asquith of England, said that peace cannot be made until England has reached her goal Germany's de feat while Premier Briand of France, declared it could not be effected until Alsace-Lorraine had been restored to France. Chancellor Bethraann-Holl-weg said that it could not be accom plished until Germany is assured that Belgium will not become England's po litical and military vassal. ."I believe that Hollwcg's terms are the more reasonable."

Terrific right hooks Innded by Ritchie in the closing rounds suved him from an adverso decision. Scheidemann spoke of a long war. He agreed that Germany Bhould not an nex Belgium. "The change that has swept over Germany recently can hardly be under stood," he continued. "The food crisis has passed. Our armies are successful in Serbia, and Germany is again stock ed like a gigantic fortress. Prices are declining and this has given Germany a new confidence. "The people have had a Te-birth of the war spirit. Those recently talking only of defeating the allies on the west ern front now see vislons of tho Gor mans approaching the Suez canal." Scheidemann said he had learned aft er investigation that there is no foun dation for reports that the foreign minister and colonial secretary are ne gotiating for peace. In fact, neither has consulted the kniser or chancellor for several weeks. He said that the socialists had suc cessfully decreed prices of foodstuffs. Now, part of Germany's immense pota to harvest will bo converted into flour, spirits for automobiles and far Zeppelins.

The" central allies aro reluctant, mean time to come to close quarters, for with their natural ferocity fanned by tho inceiitivo of defending their homos, the Herbs are probably tho most dangerous force in mountain wurfnro in Europo. Serbia Is far from permanently con quered. As long as her forces remain in tiiu mountains, supplied with muni tions, tho Teutons must maintain their army of occupation, which is needed elsewhere. Furthermore, If tho nllied expedition into Serbia Is Increased, tho surviving Serbs may yet return to Nish with their flags living SEARCHING FOR DEAD Columbus, On., Nov. 2.1.
