BOSTON WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
ASQUITH ASKS FUR
THIRTEENTH WAR CREDIT
International News Set vice.
LONDON, Oct. 11.—At the reconven
ing of parliament today,. Premier As
quith, for the thirteenth time since the
great war burst in furious violence
over Europe, arose anil, after a dis
passionate discussion of the war sit
uation in which was included a state
ment of the national finances, moved
that a war credit of one and one-half
billion dollars be voted by the parlia
mentary body to meet the costs of
conducting the gigantic struggle until
the end of the present year.
Asquith stated that the total of the
war credits already voted reaches the
huge sum of fifteen billion, six hun
dred and sixty milhons.
The premier also voiced the atti
tude of the government in the state
ment that this enormous expedituiv
was one of the most significant rea
son, why England should continue the
war until the enemy was completely
subjugated and made to return what
he had, in a spirit of wantoncss, caus
ed to wasted and utterly lost to the
nation. England could consent to no
settlement, he declared, that did not
involve a complete recompense for the
terrific costs which have been thrust
upon the nation. The government is
firmly decided to carry on the war at
all costs until the Teutons are decis
ively beaten, he said, and there can be
no hope of compromise until Germany
is willing to make lull hiuI complete
restitution. The remarks of the pre
mier are generally accepted as the
answer to the widely published state
ment that the kaiser is preparing to
make peace overtures and is intended
to show the Teutons the utter futility
i of attempting to secure a settlement
until such time as they are willing to
concede the demands of the entente
fully and completely.

\thens, received by the Times from its
correspondent today indicate that tie
j entente allies are gradually assuming'
control ol the entire Greek territory
j and also control a large portion of tie
i government machinery.
The* Times correspondent states
without reservation that the domina
tion of Greece by the allies is now
complete. -
In confirmation of the declaration
the correspondent declares that the al
lies are taking over the entire Greek
navy and have already placed allied
commanders in charge of several of tlie
smaller vessels of the fleet. Greek
warships which are temporarily out of

the direction of entente naval officers,

believed that such action is merely
prefunctorj and no formal reply will
