FIRST CLASH IN GREEK CIVIL
WAR IS APPROACHING RAPIDLY
-—
GREEK MEETS GREEK
ATHENS. Nov. 3.—King Constantine has sent orders
to the Loyalist troops to oppose the Greek revolutionists
on all the "borders and throughout the country and a clash
is expected soon between the different Greek forces. Six
hundred insurgents yesterday forced one hundred and
fifty government troops to evacuate Katerina and tioiar
Isiia and were immediately joined by reinforcements in
that part of northern Greece.
——
ALLIES STOI* GREEK TROOPS
LONDON. Nov. 3—A dispatch to the Daily Mail to
day reports that an extraordinary situation has been
created in Greece by the cancellation by Entente officers
of the permits to Greek royalist troops to travel on the
Larissa railroad when they were on their way to oppose
e Yenizelist forces. The army of Yenizelos has grown
to thirty thousand men and is made stronger by the tact
that it is sponsored by the allied governments. Larissa is
in northern Greece and the position of the insurgent
forces there is important as they are ciose to where they
can join the Entente army.
QUEEN’S LETTERS CAUGHT
LONDON. Nov. 3.—A Gentian officer who has been
taken prisoner on the Bulgarian bonier was found to have
in his possession mail for the German legation that con
tained detailed plans of the defense of the Suez canal and
also compromising letters that were passing between the
wife of King Constantine and her brother, the kaiser id
Germany. It is reported unofficially that the queen's let- j
ters to her brother clearly show that site and her husband1
have dec ded that whatever would be the result to Greece
they will never consent to permitting Greece enter the
war on the side of the Entente.
TO PRAY FOR BREMEN CREW
NEW LONDON, Nov. 2.—One of the most remark
able services on record will be held by the crew of the Ger
man submarine Deutschland on its voyage back to Ger
mane, according to word given out by the officers. 1 hese
services will be memorial services for the crew of the
Bremen, the sister undersea boat that was lost in making
the attempt to repeat the exploit of the Deutschland. The
statement of Captain Koenig was the first intimation of
an official nature that showed the Bremen to have been
reallv destroyed.

HEAVY RAINS ON SOMME
LONDON. Nov. 2.—(Thursday)—Heavy rains are
falling today in the Somme region and are impeding the
allied operations. The news of the evacuation of Fort
Vaux was received here with rejoicing. The loss of the
tort means that practically all the ground gained in the
Verdun region by the Germans in the great offensive has
been lost. Good news also comes from Roumania where,
the reports say, Falkenhayn is being decidedly checked in
his invasion of the north. His gains in the recent fighting
have been not of the least importance.
SAKHAROFF FOR DOBRUDJA
LONDON, Nov. 3.—General Sakharoff has been
transferred by the Russian government to Dobrudja to
meet the Mackensen onslaught in that arena. He has
been very successful in the recent campaign on the Gali
cian front and his leadership is expected to be of the
greatest aid to the Roumanians.
ITALIANS RESUME DRIVE
ROME, Nov. 3. — The Italians have resumed their
drive on Trieste east of Gorizia on the Carso plateau and
are progressing most favorably. Since the new drive be
gan our troops have captured six thousand Austrians.
The offensive is now taking place and has been for some
time on a very restricted field and the Austrians have
been able for that reason to keep the lines well manned.
PETROGRAD ADMITS LOSS
PE'i RC*(«RaD, Nov. “.--The war office admits that
the Teutons have made gains at Stokhod but not as great
as the enemy says.

states insures his election. He rap
ped the administration for extrava
gance and blamed it for the high cost
of living.

I'A ill RAN KS, Oct. 16. — l hi.*,
ground of rii m'Ii.ous richness has jus.
ut-en struck on liooi) creek, in the ne\
.oslos uiiii|), is the report receive*.
>v re [a a p*'irule wiio yesterday frol:. i
iditarod. The wire states nothin.,
non* than that the strike has bee t
made, as no details are given. rlh.
recipient of the wire said yesterda.
»hat he would rather that his nan.*
would not he published in connection
with the receiving of the good new.,
but it can herein be positively stated
that the information is entirely auth
oritative.
Together with Mastadon creek,
Root) creek is one of the streams ir.
the Tolstoi on which pay prospect.-*
were reported to have been tound last
spring. The report caused consider
able of a stampede from Ruby and
Iditarod, as well as other places on
the lower river, and a number ot
stainpeders likewise went Irom here.
The first prospectors who went to
the new strike reached the Tolsto
camp over the last of the w inti i
snow. Thereafter the camp was naru |
lo reach, on account of its distance i
from navigation of any kind. And j
reports sent out from the camp a.
late «s the middle of August were to
> ‘ effect that all of the prospectors
were leaving the place, as there was
nothing there.
The report now received, however,
shows that those who stuck with the
camp are in the money. And in the
report of new pay the history ot near
ly every mining camp in the North
has beep repeated. For it will be well
remembered by all oldtimers now in
the Fairbanks district that the first
stampeders who came here in the
winter of 11)02-0.3 from Dawson re
turned to the Yukon camp with the
report that nothing was to bo found
hero. But those who stayed through
the next summer uncovered the first
of many paystreaks on Cleary creek,
thereby making Kvrbank; the fair
. l
city she is today.
ANOTHER ROCK IS EOTNI)
WHERE 288 FEET OF
WATER SHOWN BY CHART!
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Discov
ery of another of the pinnacle rocks
which have sunk many of the ships in
Alaskan waters was announced here
today by the coast and goedetic sur
vey. The rock is situated in the Soy-j
mour channel not far from the main
passageway of vessels between Wran
gell and Juneau, in waters constantly
I used by deep draft vessels going to
Salmon canneries.
Where records now existing show a
depth of 288 feet, the rock at low wa
ter is bare. The rock’s spine is just
that height, the pinnacle so small that
surrounded by soundings of 48, 44 and
54 fathoms, its presence was only
1 made known by a wire drag.
EL PASO, Nov. 3. — Telegrams were received here
mst night from Chihuahua City telling that Villa has cap
aired Parral from the Carranza forces and is now in fuil
possession of that whole district. General Bell states,
i
.owever, that he has received no information on the mat

as also came iliac v illa has cut to pieces the command of
jleneral Maycotte in the southern part of Chihuahua
late. The telegrams telling of the Parral loss were re
vived by prominent American citizens of this place and

doubted.
NEW YORK, Nov. Old fashion
'd political enthusiasm took New

asion of President Wilson’s last ap
p'-asance before the i attic* of the

.•osts headed by Charles Murph;.
naivned to .Madison Square Garde.i
mi swept all skepticism aside b\
heir tremendous show of loya’iy t*>
‘.he democratic cause. T he crowds iii
du» streets were enormous. Women
fainted in the suffocating eru.di an .
’ e police wore hcirless. It wa.- next
to impossible to move through t!«
throngs and the great hall was packed
to the doors. Similar scenes were or
acled at Cooper Union where another'
Viwe* Wilson demonstration took
place and for the time being the Em
pire City went wild. Augustus
rhomas presided at the Garden meet
ng and Scabury, the candidate for
governor, was the* first speaker. .'N
Combs and Former Governor
followed. When Wilson rose to his
feet to open his address one* of tin
most extraordinary scenes Ldioweeu
Ihe immense i.osi rose to its leet ami
chei red for thirty minutes and Hun
came more roars a,nd bands struck up
patriotic music. In the three speech* •
delivered in the city Wilson reiterat
ed Ids conception of the chief issues
before the electors and he warmly
championed the principles of progress
which had guided the Democratic ad
ministration all through. He plead
ed for equal rights for all and ar
raigned Wall Street which, he said,
was seeking to dominate not to co
operate with the people of the na
tion. He expressed the firm belief
that the campaign has shown that he
will be sent back to power. His last
speech will bo delivered at Shadow
Lawn on Saturday.
IMMENSE BETTING
NEW YORK, Nov. .T—The Demo
crats charge that the Hughes party
is now trying to manipulate the bet
ting by a flood of Hughes money to
force the betting up again in favor
of the Republican. The belting is to
day 10 to 7 for Hughes but the Demo
crats say that this has been brought
about by the willingness of the moni
ed interests to take a chance of losing
by putting up more money that the
Democrats can afford to cover. 1 he
%
stake holders have a million dollars
now in this city alone and expect a
million more before election day.
This will break the record. In one
pool of sixty thousand Hughes is the
favorite, the pool going from even
money to 10 to 8 on the Republican.
TEDDY ANSWERS WILSON
CLEVELAND, Nov. fl.—Roosevelt
spoke here last night and his speech
was chiefly devoted to answering the
speech by Wilson at Buffalo. He par
ticularly dwelt on the statement of
the President that America i.' afraid
to fight for anything but the preserva
tion of American ideals and purpose
and Roosevelt asked if Wiisqn meant
by this that he is afraid to tight for
tiii* murder of a baby, and, continued
Roosevelt, one hundred and thirteen
babies wen* lost in the Lusitania.

market is bullish today and five hun
dred and seventy thousand sluuo*
changed hands in the first hour. The
financial editor of the Sun says the
market thus reflects the optimism of

Hughes and the resumption of pro
tectivism and liberalization of the
administration to come.
IimiES PREDICTS VICTORY
ALBANY, Nov. f>.—The audience
waded three hours today for the train
carrying Hughes. It was made late
by tn»' crowds that greeted the can
didate enroute. He was introduced
by William Barnes who said that the

to the responsibilities of the adminis
tration. This was greeted with

cruel and unwarrantable to say that
his election would mean war. He
continued his attacks on the adminis
tration for inefficiency anil for its un
fulfilled promises.
