Greeks Ask United
Protection
Seizure of Fleet and Ports Pro
tested to United States
Envoy.
Paris, Oct. 18. Every act of Vice
Admiral Du Fouruet, commander of
the allied fleet in Gieek waters,
respecting control of the Greek ad
ministration has been by direction of
the allies' governments, it is explained
here, with the ole object of safe
guarding the communications of the
entente armies on the Macedonian
front. According to the vic.w ex
pressed here, the safety of the en
tente armies, now fully occupied in
the campaign against the Bulgarians,
has been imperiled by what are re
parded as the pro-German leanings of
the king, the cabinet and the com
manders of the army and navy.
Such offers as King Constantine re
cently made to join the allies were
not trusted. It was felt that to ac
cept them might have been to arm
and finance a potential enemy, for
the king's offers were always condi
tioned -upon, being amply supplied
with money and fighting equipment.
About on,-quarter of the Greek
army's fighting material recently was
surrendered to the Bulgarians, and it
is regarded by the allies as unwise to
provide more equipment and pay lor
the troops.
The French press is deeply im
pressed by King Constantine's order
of the day to the crews pf the Greek
battleships taken over by the allies.
The Matin says:
"Kin. Cons.antine in a public
speech affirms his antipathy to the
entente. We must look the
fact in the face and not allow our
selves to be deceived. Constantine is
the friend of the enemy."
The Petit Parisien says:
"All doubt is at an end. The king
of Greece is against the entente. The
order of the day which the king
caused tote read in his presence to
officers thd men of the Hellenic navy,
expresses his intimate thoughts, his
HUGHES ANSWERS
ADAMSONACT QUERY
Says He Would Have Gone to
American People in Effort
to Stop Strike.
FACES FRIENDLY AUDIENCE
Sioux City, la., Oct. 18. Charles E.
Hughes, facing a friendly audience
sprinkled with hcckleralast night re
plied in 'answer 4o-1 -qflesticWtSr -tff)
whether he would repeal the Adam
son law if elected president, that "a
surrender could not be-,'repealH," '
Mr. Hughes -was aslcec? what he
would have dono to avert the threat
ened railroad strike?
."If arbitration had been refused, '
Mr. Hughes replied, ."I should have
gone right to the American people,
stated the facts and placed the re
sponsibility where it belonged."
- . Would Have Inquiry.
'1 should at the same time," Mr.
Hughes continued, "have secured a
commission of inquiry so impartial, io
fair, as to command the respect of
the entire country, and, directing
public opinion to that end, there ij
no group of men in the United States
that would have dared hold up -the in
strumentalities of commerce if thatri
were done." v
The heckler still had' another ques
tion to ask. x "
"Mr. Hughes," he said, "any ques
tion that is asked here is asked with
no enmity toward the candidate of
the republican party. You would
have done all that within twenty-four
hours?" '
"Why, sir," the nomine replied,
"the business men of the United
States, through ithe Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, on July
29, sent a telegram to the president
asking for an inquiry. A resolution
was introduced in the senate for an
inquiry, and was laid on the table.
For months the business men of the
United States asked tor an inquiry as
to this very matter, and the crisis was
allowed to be developed, when it was
unnecessary that it should have been
developed and there was adequate
time to ascertain -what the facts
were."
Attended by Confusion.
The heckling was attended by the
utmost confusion. The audience,
which had cheered and applauded
loudly in the earlier parts of Mr.
Hughes' address, apparently was in
censed at the interruptions, and there
were many cries of ' put him out,"
"sit down" and "shut up." As the
nominee replied to each question the
audience cheered its approval. It foas
necessary after each interruption foi
Mr. Hughes to step forward and re
quest that the heckler be allowed to
proceed.
In the first par. of his speech Mr.
Hughes also was heckled.
A man with a big stick in the gal
lery .sought to heckle the nominee on
labor affairs. He askeci a question
that apparently was misunderstood
in the confusion and Mr. Hughes
amid a roar of applause, read what the
Legislative News, "the official organ
of organized labor" had to say in
praise of his record as governor.
When the applause died, the man
arose again. The crowd would have
put him out dnd for more than a nvn
ute the audience was a tumult of con
fusion. Tries to Quiet Crowd.
Mr. Hughes, with oustretched hands
sought to quiet the crowd. He finally
made-himself heard.
"Let the gentleman ask any ques
tion he wants to," the nominee said
"What do you want to say, sir?"
Amid hisses and boos the man aske
his question, waving the stick in nis
hand.
"Evidently, according to what you
have said," the man began, "the laboi

Athens, Oct. 17. (Via London, Oct.
18.) Three hundred French marines
were trai.sferred today from the
Municipal theater to the Zappeion
Exposition building, within 400yards
of the king's palace. They marched
through the streets with bayonets
fixed and trumpets blowing, acconi
panied by moving picture apparatus
and an automobile with Franco-British
secret police. The front of the
larger palace structure is occupied by
Prince Andrew and rnncess Alice.
The Greek kw eminent today gave
out the following communication:
'iThe chief of the allied naval forces
has advised the government that tor
reasons of security (entente) allied
troops have been obliged to proceed
with measures for the control of all
police of the state, for which detach
ments have been disembarked at Ath
ens and Piraeus for aid of the police
and" as a protective measure." '
The Greek government further
states that there is no evidence at
presence of any wider extension of the
landing of entente allied troops.
Ask American Protection.
Athens, Oct. 18. After the demon
stration here against-the entente al
lies, during which procession of sev-
cralthousand persons marched to the
American legation and protested
against the landing of French ma
rines, a delegation of six persons
called at the American legation and
presented resolutions asking the sym
pathy and protection of the United
States against the encroachments of
ihe entente powers. The spokesman
said in English in presenting the res
olution! "Henry CJay's speech in regard to
Greece's struggle for liberty, as well
as one by Daniel Webster, said the
struggle would have been made mean
ingless if the liberties of Greece had
been subsequently lost."
The American minister, Garrett
Droppers, promised to forward the
petition to Washington.

TREFZ TO
MAKE TALKS
(From a Staff Correaaondent.) '
Lincoln, Neb., Oct 18. (Special.)
There it an unmistakable drift of
sentiment toward Charles E.. Hughes,
according . to Dent Atkinson, as
peaker from Montana who has been
spending considerable, time speaking
bverthe western part of the country,
and for six weeks connected with re
publican headquarters "in Chicago.
Mr. Atkinson is here and will
spend the rest of. the week in Gage
county. He is a forceful speaker and
sees nothing but the election of
Hughes - in November. Having
traveled over 15,000 miles in speaking
in different parts of the country, he
has had a chance to see sentiment
as it exists. (
Speaking further on the matter of
the electure of Hughes, Mr. Atkinson
said to J. V. Craig of the speakers'
bureau: '
Hughes is Certain.
"Charles Evans Hughes will be
elected president of the United States.
"There are a number of reasons
that will contribute to the defeat of
Mr. Wilson.
"He has not kept us out of war, but
has kept peace out of Mexico.
"He has dallied With life and prop
erty of our citizens until our flag is
dispised in almost every great Ration
of the world.
i "He has .used his great office for
a partisan end.
"His administration has been the
most extravagant in history."
Trefa Will Talk.
Edward F. Trefz, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, is another speaker who will
make a few speeches in this state.
Mr. Trefz makes a big dent in demo
cratic hopes whereever he talks and
believes there is little cfiance for Wil
son to secure a re-election.

This government, it was said, would

RAYEF.B00K CONTROVERSY
St. Louis, Oct. 18. Women were
denied equal rights with men in two
actions taken today by the house of
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
general convention in session here.
A proposal to permit women to sit
as delegates in the general convention
was rejected, while a request from Rt.
Rev. Logan H. Roots, bishop of Han
kow, to be allowed to permit women
to membership in his advisory coun
cil was denied. Tlje house suggested
to the bishop of Hankow, it was stat
ed, that he might create an auxiliary
council of woman.
Theproposal to give women equal
rights with met in the convention
was sponsored by Robert H. Gardi
ner of Gardiner, Me. '
W'U Go to Bishops. '
A similar resolution is now on the
calendar of the house of. deputies, and
it was pointed out today's ction in
the upper house does not preclude its
being discussed in the lower body.
Since concurrence of the two houses
is snecessary, in the event that the
house of deputies should approve the
proposal it will go to the house of
bishops for reconsideration.
The View of bishops, which also
considered changes recommended in
the communion service by the com
mission on the book of common
prayer, will suggest in its report to
the house of deputies that the ten
commandments' be printed in the
prayerbook in both their shortened
form and in their full form, and that
clergymen be given optional use of
either in the service, it was said.
The commission had recommended
that five of the commandments be
shortened as read in the communion
-service by the elimination of the rea
sons.
ur-Tiru: . n.
Efforts to have the prayer ' of
George Washington, uttered upon the
occasion ot his laying down the su
prtenccfeamand of the .federal armies,
adopted and substituted for the pres
ent prayer "for our country'" in the
book of common prayer were inaugu
rated in the house of deputies by Ro
land S. Morris of Philadelphia. Mr.
Morris introduced a resolution which
resulted ina prayer which had been
recommended by the commission on
the prayerbook, being recommitted to
the commission with the suggestion
that it consider the Washington
prayer. This pleads for "God's holy
protection for the United States,
obedience for its citizens, for their
brotherly affection for each other,
particularly for their brethren -who
have served fn the field, and that pod
will dispose us to do justice, mercy
and charity."
The prayer suggested by the com
mission asked that "our land be
blessed 'with honorable industry,
sound learning and pure manners." It
also asks that we be savad from "vio
lence, discord and confusion; from
pride and arrogance," and that our
liberties be defended and our unity
preserved.
Agree on Minor Changes.
Discussion of the revision of the
evening prayer was concluded today,
a number of minor changes being
agreed upon.
In the main these looked toward a
greater liturgical flexibility and the
droppinjg of archaic phrases, enabling
the clergy to adapt the service either
to the ordered worship of a metro
politan cathedral or to that of a fron
tier mission. Discussion of new
prayers resulted in the1 approval "of
one for stale legislatures and another
for courts of justice.
The house of deputies confirmed
the election of Rev. James Wise of
St. Louis as coadjutor bishop of
Kansas.
Establishment of a permanent
church publicity bureau "because of
the increasing dependency of the
church upon the press," was urged in
a resolulion adopted by the house of
deputies To become effective the res
olution must be approved by the
house of bishops.
The bureau, according to the plan
announced, is to study means of get
ting the co-operation of the news
papers of the country in carrying on
the work of the churches. In present
ing the resolution, together ivith the
report of the joint committee on press
and publicity, Francis L. Stetson of
New York asserted that the church

FRIENDLY RELATIONS
WITH UNITED STATES
Bishop Tucker Tells Only Pos
sible Way Whereby Japan
Would Start Trouble.
INCLINED TO CHRISTIANITY
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18. Japanese
people feel that the best interests of
their country depend on the preserva
tion, of friendly relations with the
United States, Right Rev. H.. St.
George Tucker, bishop of Kioto, told,
delegates to the general convention pf
the Protestant Episcopal church to
day, He spoke at a joint session of
the two houses, comprising the con
vention, reviewing ' the scope .and
methods of the ehurch'a foreign mis
sion work. '
"I have had large opportunities for
meeting Japanese of all classes," said
the bishop, "and I have never heard
the opinion that there is any essential
conflict between the interests of
Japan and America expressed.'
the only possible cause tor trouble
would be in a conviction on the part
of the Japanese that they were being
unjustly discriminated against and
their national honor Involved, tnen
in regard to the question of the Im
migration of the Japanese in this
country, the Japanese government has
shown willingness tq meet the wishes
of the United States by a so-called
gentleman s agreement. It has un
dertaken to prevent further emigra
tion of Japanese to America and stat
istics show that in the lasfw years
it carried ott this agreement. All
Japan asks is fair, undiscriminating
treatment of Japanese at present resi
dents of America.
Christianity is Gaining.
Bishop Tucker asserted occidental
life and thought is 1 penetrating the
countries of the orient in an ever-increasing
volume and said the purpose
of Christianity there is to see that
the people receive not only the ma
terialistic and intellectual side of our
civilization, but also its idealistic
Uide.
"While the Japanese, whose thinkers-realize
that some form of religion
is essential to safeguard the moral life
of the people," the bishop said, "are
not yet persuaded that Christian
ity is best fitted to meet their need,
our progress in Japan gives every
reason to believe that in the future
the people will recognize its value."
Speaking of China, Hishop Tucker
asserted that Christian missionaries
in that country have done much to
amelorate social conditions by build
ing hospitals, establishing medical
schools and encouraging the Chinese
to study modern luectical methods.
"One large effect of Christian giis
sionary work lies in removing mis
itnderstandings, promoting a better
appreciation on the part of eastern
people-of the attitude of the western
nations," he continued. "Thcrescems
to be in this country a feeling that
the developmenrof Japanese interests
in China constitute a peril to the
United States. I do not feel this to
be the case, and certainly, as natives
become Christians, the peril will be
diminished."
. Results of the Work.
As a result of Christian missionary
work in the east, Bishop Tucker
added, there are fully organized
Christian churches in China and
Japan, with large memberships, doing
effective social work. He cited as a
type of the communicants the first
speaker of the Imperial Diet of Japan,
who held office until hisVleath.
Today's joint session, over which
Right Rev. F R. Graves, bishop of
Shanghai, presided, was to be devoted
to a conference on "What is this
church trying to do in its work
abroad?"
The house of bishops informed the
house of deputiei that it had received
a request from Huysha Wolcott Yeat-ntan-Biggs,
bishop of Worcester, Eng
land, asking for an expression of
opinion as to when the next Lambeth
conference could be held and that
they had fixed 1919 as a possible year.
WILSON' SPURNS.
VOTES OF MANY
"Hyphenated Democrats" Not
at All Pleased 'With
' the Situation.
A. A. LANG'S POSITION
(From a Staff CorrCRpondent.) C
Lincoln. Oct. 18. (Special.)
"W oodrow Wilson did not say enough
when he announced that he did not
want the vote of any hyphenated German-American,"
said A. A. Lang,, a
well-known Lincoln, democrat, today,
"and he should have gone further and1
added that neither did he waut the
vole of any hyphenated democrat."
Mr. Lang is not at all pleased with
the attitude of the' Mullch-HltchcOck-Ne'ville
conglomeration at the present
time. "They have insulted William
J. Bryan time and time again," con
tinued Mr. Lang. "Any man who sup
ported Mr. Bryan at the last primary
was dubbed undemocratic and Mr.
Bryan was tagged as undemocratic. I
will not stand for anything like that,
for Mr. Bryan took the democratic
party out eff the hole it had got itself
in tend placed it on a footing where it
could amount to something in the af
fairs of this government. The crowd
which said last spring they did not
want him have no no business to say
to me and other supporters of Mr.
Bryan in the past that you must get
into line and support Hitchcock and
Neville. I won't do it and there are
more than 20,000 other democrats
right here in Nebraska who feel just
the same as I do."
The sentiment expressed by Mr.
Lang, who for many years has taken
an active part ill Lancaster county
politics, although a republican up to
four years ago, covers the mecliug
among democrats, who while not as
outspoken, are convinced the future
welfare of the democratic party in
Nebraska lies in showing the Mullen
crowd, where they get' off. They
don't like the idea of Mullen being in
control of state affairs through Ne
ville and in answer to the claim that
to uphold the hands of President
Wilson, clemocrals must vote for
Senator Hitchcock, they point to the
record of tire senator, which shows
that he has not upheld the hands of
President Wilson in the past and can
not be expected to do so in the future.
Attorney McDanieL
On Trial Charged
With Wife Murder
St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. lS.Oscar D.
McDanicI, prosecuting attorney of
Buchanan county, was put on trial
in I he criminal court here today
under an indictment diamine him
j with the murder of his wife, Mrs.
I Harriet Moss McDailicl.
McDaniel has expressed himrelf re
peatedly as being certain of a verdict
of "not guilty." He requested a
speedy trial, as he is a candidate for
re-election in November. From evi
dence at the coroner's inquest and
statements at McDaniel's preliminary
hearing, it is expected that the prose
cution will attempt to prove Mrs. Mc
Daniel was clubbed to death in their
home on the night of July 14 as a
result of domestic trouble.
The defense will contend that Mrs.
McDaniel waslain in the absence of
her husband, Who was called from the
house by a. decoy telephone message.
Revenge for the prosecutor's efforts
at law enforcement has been given
by the defense as the motive for the
murder.

Fighting Along Brussiloff's Front
PetrograS, Oct. 17. (Via London,
Oct. 18.) The whole of General
Brusjilott's front, from the district of
Kovel to Roumania, presents an al
most continuous battle line, with,
large Russian and Austro-German
forces constantly engaged in attacks
and counter attacks, each side suc
cessfully defending its position, but
making no lasting progress against it
opponents. -
it has become evident that tHe in
tention of breaking through the north
ern sector of General Brussilotf's line
and recapturing Lutsk has been sup-,
plemented i since .Roumania s entry
into the war by a more audacious
plan a move at the extreme southern '
nank by the Austro-Germans in the
hope ot separating the Russian arm-'
ies from tneir new allies. ,
To this end the Austro-Germans
have concentrated heavy forces at the
southern tip of liuKowina, where the
southern flank of the ttussiana joins
the northern flank of the Rouman
ians, and have begun an advance,
south of Dornah Watra,' accompany
ing this with - a vigorous attack',
slightly, farther north in the regipn '
of Korosmezo and Kirlibaba, and a
parallel movement against the Kou
nianians in Transylvania. i
Attended with ouccess. ' -
Thus far the drive of the Teutonic
allies against the Roumanians has
been more successful than-, that
against the Russiansfor, while the
former are retiring toward their own
frontier, the Russians have not, as
far as is known at present, been com
pelled to give way before the power
ful offensive directed against them.' '
The Austro-German movement,
however, is still in its early stages
and a termendous struggle is expect
ed on this part of the front. Already '
the Russians-have begun counter ma-,
neuvering, as is attested b; the num
ber of prisoners taken in the Kirli
bsua region, where the first attack
of the Austro-Germans in the view
of military observers bears little
semblance of success.
Pierce fighting still continues south
east oi viauiiyn-voiynsKi in voiny
nia and south of Brzeszany in Gali
cia. At these two points, covering1
respectively the roads to Vladimir
V'olynski and Lemberg, a continuous
battle is being carried on at close
range, leading often to b-yonet en
counters, but without producing any
decisive result. , 1
