Delayed Interview With Con
stantino Tells Why Country
Holds Out. '
SOUL Or HELLAS TO DECIDE
New York, Sept. 15. On Septem
ber l; the staff correspondent of the
Associated Press obtained the inter
view with King Constantine of Greece
that follows. It is impossible to say
which of the censorships through
which it passed held up the dispatch
at the time. The interview was given
about the time the entente allied fleet
was taking position at Piraeus, the
p rt of Athens, and revolutionary out
breaks were reported taking place in.
Macedonia:
Tatoi. Greece, Sept. 1 (Via Paris,
: Sept. IS). King Constantine re
ceived the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press in his summer palace
here and spoke of the present situa
tion with the utmost frankness, al
though refusing to be directly quoted.
He said, that Greece is ready to join
the entente allies whenever it could
see its definite1 and certain advantage
in o doing. .
'. The king expressed indignation
that it could be thought by anyone,
much less be published, that he is
bound by any pledge to inyone not to
r-.::e war, or that he has been moved
in hj course, hirf 'rto, by any rea
sons save those he conceived to be
for the greatest good of his country.
He referred with particular feeling to
the fate almost certain to overtake
more than a million Greeks living in
Asia Minor and Thrace in the event
of Greece finding itself engaged' in
hostilities with Turkey, and he
nointed out that while those who
judged Greece and hmself harshly for
what is regarded as inaction, they
gave no thought to the prospect ot
condemning to the lot of the Ar
menians Greek women and children
caught in the toils of the Turk:.
Thi king said the world regarded
with callousness, due to ignorance,
the real situation concerning the atti
tude of Greece, criticising the coutv
-' try and the government for bargain
ins, when the Greeks alone couli
know and estimate the frightful cost
of a war to Greece. He laid stress
on the difference between Greece',
situation and Roumania's, in this re
spect. Quite frankly the king admitted
that . the pressure of Bulgarians in
Macedonia and Roumania's entry into
the war would greatly complicate tht
. situation, constituting a new element
. which easily might alter the premise
upon which the policy of Greece hith
erto has been Dasea. ine King oe
' . elared that all these new elements
had to be duly considered and
weighed before Greece would be jus
tified in changing its position, but he
added that they now were being
thought over, and the course of
Greece would depend on .the result
of that consideration; and nothing
else.
1 With profound earnestness, King
Constantine stated it was not the mo.
, men to talk of his deciding the (ate
of Greece, nor of the government de
ciding, nor of any political party in
Greece indicating the action the coun
try must tike, but, as he put it, "the
hour will come when we want th'
voice of the soul of Hellas to dictate
the future of our race."
Physicians and nurses are still in
attendance upon the king, on account
of the fever and continual irritation
of the wound which keeps the king
confined to his room and in a state o
constant physical annoyance, when
not in actual pain.

REMARKABLE ACTION PICTURE OF QUEBEC BRIDGE SPAN COLLAPSE Here is
one of the most remarkable news pictures ever published. It shows the central span of the
cantilever bridge over the St Lawrence river collapsing just as it was being raised into
position from pontoons. The span was 640 feet long and weighed more than 5,000 tons. At
least twenty people lost their lives when the great structure broke and sank in 200 feet of
water. More than 50,000 people had gathered on the river banks to watch the ceremony
of hoisting the central span into place, which was to have completed one 'of the greatest
engineering projects of the world. -

ABANDON PLAN OF
A NEUTRAL POLICE
Scheme for International Con
stabulary to Patrol Mex
. ican Border Given Up.
NOT HELD PBAOTIOAfLE
New London. Conn., Sept. 15.--A
suggestion that the Vexican govern
ment create a' constabulary for bor
der duty simi'ar to the rurales of the
Diaz regime as made today, during a
brief session of the American-Mexican
joint commission concluding the
second week' of its deliberations.
Apparently the plan for a joint
police force, previously discussed, was
abandoned as impracticable after the
commissioners had conferred with
Maior General Tasker H. Bliss.
General Bliss it was learned made
the joint commission a statement of
the situation he belived would follow
General Pershing's withdrawal from
Mexico, before a properly constituted
constabulary is created to relieve his
troops. It is understood, he pointed
out problems in the way ot an effort
to create a border police under dual
authority.
There is reason to believe the
American commissioners have sought
to impress their Mexi n conferees
with the view that Mexico must rec
ognize responsibility for the deprada
tions its nationals may commit on the
border, if good relations ar"e to be
unimpaired.-

LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
WORDSWSTORTED
Blames German Agents for
Construction Put on Cen
sorship Statement.
NOT USED IN TRADE WAR
London, Sept. 15 David Lloyit
George. British secretary for war,' to
day gave the Associated Press the
following statement:
"There appears to be a deliberate
campaign, set on foot in the United
States by German agents, to throw
doubt on the good faith of his majes
ty's government in regard to the use
of information obtained through the
censorship. ,
"These German agents appear now
to have resurrected my statement, in
the House of Commons on August
8, although that statement was fully
explained ny Lord Kouen een, min
ister of war trade, on August 9, and
most explicit assurances on the same
subject were given by him in a later
interview on. August 3.
Has But One Use.
' "In spite of this, these propagan
dists are trying to dress up my state-
rrent as something new. nuiiuying
Lordx Robert Cecil's assurances which
followed it. Let me now say, on be
half of the military authorities, that
when information is passed on by the
censorship to other departments, it is
for the sole purpose of guiding the
action of the government in the con
duct of the war.
"For instance, when we g:t infor
mation that an American firm to
whom the foreign office has given a
permit for tie export of certain goods
from Rotterdam, on the ground that
these goods had been paid for before
the war, is using that permit fraudu
lently, as frequently has been the
case, we pass the information on to
the foreign office in order that they
may cancel the permit.
Not a Trade War.
"Again, when we find that a neutral
firm is using British banking facili
ties for the purpose of trading with
our enemies and is deceiving the Brit
ish banks in question as to the real
purpose of the transactor!, we pass
that information on to the proper de
partment, in order that they may re
fuse to license the transaction. Or,
again, if we learn that a shipment of
contraband, ostensibly from one neu
tral firm to another, is really destined
for the energy, we see that the con
traband committee gets that information.
"That, frankly stated, is what wc
do. But we attirm, and challenge
anybody to deny it, that honest busi
ness interests and trade secrets of the
American merchant or manufacturei
are safe in the hands of the military
censor and of every other government
department as they are in the hands
of the American postoffice."
What Lloyd George Said. '
In the House of Commons, August
8,' Mr. Lloyd George, in answer to
ynnrrninff the use of a let
ter written by a neutral manufacturer
and examined by the military censor
said, according to the London TimcC
report of the debate, tnat tne rener in
question was not stopped, in the sense
that it was not anowea w uvu ,v
its destination.
"D.." it, wir wrrtarv added, it
is, of course, the practice to Commuty
cate to the public department con
cerned any information on matters of
public interest which may be ob
tained through the censorship, for
such use to be made of it as the par
ticular department may consider de
sirable. This was done in this instance."
