ALLIES GROWING UNEASY
OVER GREECE
A. P. A. Service.
LONDON, Nov! IB.—Considerable
uneasiness is being displayed by thej
entent allies over the attitude of ^
Greece as it is indicated that the na- j
tlon is leaning more and more to the
side of the central powers. .King Con
si amine now seemingly has the sit
uation well in hand and is gradually
swing matters around to suit himself
despite the efforts of those who oppose
an alliance with the Teutons.
Kven the great Influence of Venizelos
seems unable to prevent the pro-Ger
man inclinations of the ruler from
prevailing. As the scale falls toward
the German side, the entente powers
are proportionately depressed and the
present feeling is hardly likely to be
allayed by the latest news from Athens
that the German military commission
has arrived at the capital by way of
liulgarta and Salonika. It is the pre
tiling opinion in military circles here
that the visit presages an open alli
ance with the Teutonic powers.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 16.—The trial
of Schmidt, who It Is alleged Is the
man who supplied the dynamite with
vhieh the McNamara’s partially de
stroyed the Times building, is dragging
slowly along and but little of the sen
's tlonal has developed beyond the
statement of a witness that the de
struction of the building was due more
to the explosion of gas generated in a
gasoline tank in the building than to
the dynamite planted by the Mc
Namaras.
Examination of the witness failed to
reveal any definite reason for the
I statement beyond the fact that the
I ordor of gasoline fumes was very
I strong in the composing rooms on the
day of the explosion. The trial Is
attracting but little attention outside
of labor circles although the laborites
have made a great effort to attract pub
I lie sympathy to the defendant. It is
reported that McManigle, upon whose
testimony 'the McNamaras were con
victed, will be called by the prosecution
during the present week.

In the Serbian country even more

PRESS BELIEVES GOV’T
SHOULD INVESTIGATE
ft. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The press
throughout the country are unanimous
.t! the opinion that the charges made j
by Dr. Goricar should be made the
subject of a thorough governmental i
investigation.
it is pointed out by the majority of
japers that the denial of the charges
>> the Austrian embassy are hardly
worthy of regard in view of the revel
I’i.ii.s In the Dumba affair which
i lainly disclosed that the Austrian
v- vernment was plainly interested In
itht destruction of munition plants and
was probably aiding the efforts of

u'so pointed to as confirmation of Gori
er tr's charges;
The Sun remarks editorially that
the government has sufficient evidence
to sin tv that at least a portion of the
G"i'icar statements are founded In fact
and it may be inferred that the bal
ance are also true. While the com
ments are generally conservative, a deep
undertone of concern is visible In the

will be added to the present list even
