L. A. WELSH, Meteorologist 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 (Contlnutd on rage Two, t'oluuia One.) States for Against the Allies hostility to out cause and the tenacity of his sympathies for our adver saries." r 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. DRIFT TO HUGHES, , ; SAYSATKINSON Speaker Who Has Covered Western States Says Senti - ment Is Crystallizing. 4- 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. No Eeport to Be Made of Work of The German Diver Washington. Oct. 18 The United States will not feel called upon to make public any statement on the raid of the German U-SJ, or the sub marine question in general, it was learned -auiorilatively today as a con sequence of the statement in Parlia ment by Viscount Grav. British secre tary of state for foreign affairs, that lisgovciiMnetrt would not make any official representations,." this coun try until such announcement is made -lere. This government, it was said, would not feel itself more called upon to nake a statement to the allies about jermaji belligerent operations off the merican coast than it would to re port to Germany the recent visit of the French cruiser Admiral Aube to in American porf, or other allied op erations on this side of th Atlantic 'nformation probably would be sup ilied, however, if requested. Turkish Government Sends Warning to Neutral Ships Washington, Oct. 18. The Turk sh government today warned the Jnited States that neutral ships, in luding American, passing between he Turkish coast and the islands of shios and Samos, in the Aegean sea, night become targets for gunfire iroin Turkish military forces, as "it '.s not possible to distinguish between enemy and neutral ships." 1 EQUAL RIGHTS FOR WOMEN DENIED AT EPISCOPAL MEET Proposal to Permit Them to Sit . as Delegates in General Con vention and in '0 a ory Council PxVV HOUSE 0W ,.0?S ACTS Urged' oV Either Form of Ten,,jinmandments Be Made Optional. 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 under the greatest obligation to the press. In the Court Room Woman Shoots Man Who Ruins Home Chicago, Oct. 18.

V 1 J ' 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. Figures on the Area of the " Crops Out in Argentina Buenos Ayrcs, Argentina, Oct. !

(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 Hughes Congratulates Women Working for His Election New York, Oct. 18.
