NEW GREEK CABINET
International News Service.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—According to
dispatches from Athens another cab
inet has been called into power by
King Constantine, the head of which
is 1'rof. D. Lambrose. As he is a
conservative and paciflciist, small ex
pectation is expressed hero that he
will lead Greek policy along the only
road that will be satisfactory to the
majority of Greeks and to the allied
nations.
SALONIKA, Oct. 10—Venizelos, the
acknowledged leader of the Greek rev
olutionists, has reached here from
Crete and other revolutionary centers.
Me announces that the revolutionists,
, which include large numbers of the
regular troops as well as most of the
men of the Greek navy and aviation
corps, will at once Join the allies
in making war on Hhe Bulgarians
without waiting for action which is
promised by the new cabinet headed
by Bambrose.
This intention on the part of the
Venizelos faction has been received
with mixed emotions by the allied high
command. It is pointed out that such
action may greatly complicate the
patent situation but on the other
| hand it may lead to results highly
beneficial to the allies.

U. S. WILL DECLINE
ALLIED REQUEST
TO JAR WARSHIPS
international News Serviee.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The Uni
ted States will refuse to accept the
contention of the entente allies that
neutral nations should deny the use of
their harbors to submarines and other
warships which are, according to the
claims of Britian and her allies, op
erating in defiance of the rules of
maritime warfare.
An announcement to this effect wus
given out by the state department this
morning following a long conference
between Lansing and the president.
The contention of Britain that ’the
neutral powers should bar the en
trance of all vessels of the central
powers is looked upon as entirely out
of reason and would tend to place a
nation acceding to the request In a
position of direct hostility to the Ger
mans who would undoubtedly cite tho
, international law with perfect Justice
respecting the right of warships to
enter unblocked harbors for supplies.
Wilson May Entar Protest.

—
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—It Is the
i general belief in admlnistratiive circles
; that the president will enter a strong
! protest to the Berlin foreign office
, against the action of the German sub
I marines in sinking vessels almost
’ within sight of the American coasts
as W'as done • Sunday following the
departure of the U-53..
The contention of the administration
will be that such action is a greater
menace to the United States and more
i
destructive in its effects on American
commerce thftn on that of the allies,

AMERICA WILL NOT SUBMIT
TOJfIRTUALyBLOCKAOE
International Newa Set vice.
WASHINGTON, Oct. id.—That the
submarine warfare within ten miles of
our coast Is very annoying to the ad
ministration is one of the develop
ments of the situation.
In spite of Ambassador Bornstorff’s
visit to President Wilson yesterday to
assure him that the Germans have
kept their promises to the American
government regarding submarine at
tacks and calling his attention to the
fnct that not a life was lost in the
uttucks on allied shipping last Sunday
the president is strongly opposed to
continuation of belligerent operations
off our coast which amounts he says
to a practical blockade of American
ports.
While American ships have not been
and will not be molested, our com
merce is largely borne in foreign bot
toms and if they are not allowed
egress from our ports the result is in
all practical senses a blockade.
The president had a conference with
Secretary of State Lansing this morn
ing regarding the sitautlon following
which a statement was made that
America will not submit to the oper
ations of belligerent warships off our
coast.
Lansing will again confer with the
president this afternoon for the pur
pose of formulating a policy dealing
with submarines and cruisers of the
allies.
Chancellor I’olk of the state de
partment has made an important an
nouncement today in which It is stated
that the United States government
has refused to accept the contention
of the entente allies that neutrals are
bound to close their harbors to sub
marines or other warships. The use
of neutral ports by belligerent ships
for a limited stay is well established
by International law and the stand of
i America throughout the war Ima been
tlie enforcement of the principles of
well established international law
No doubt Is felt here that ti. i
ministration will take strong ttu-us
•liti'S to present further war opeta
tions whether by submarines or allied
warships in the waters near ottr coast.
Just what the administration will i
its contention on cannot be surmised
as most editorial writers, while d'
ploring the suspension of our com
merce, see no way to alter the situa
tion as our jurisdiction over the ocean
extends only three miles from out
coast line.

NEW GAS INVENTED BY

international News Service.
PARIS, Oct. 10.—That German in
ventive genius is responsible for. an
other hellish device to make war more
destructive is shown by the official
communique which states that the
enemy, is- using a nnjv kind of gas
which affects the eyes and causes
j blindness.
This new gas was put in use for
the first time by the enemy last night
on the Somme sector where severe
flgthing fook place.
The activities commenced in the
I usual manner by an unusually heavy
| bombardment. Then the gas was re

leased with a wind that favored tin
attack. The allien In trenches were,
all equipped with the customary gas
masks but found that their eyesight
failed them. Then it became appar
ent that a new weapon had been
lot ged.
The onrush of the Germans was
finally repulBed but not without con
siderable loss to the defenders. The
new gas produces tears which blind
the trench defenders. It is not j i
known whether the gas will result in
anything more than a temporal!
blindness as the effects have not been
studied by the surgeons
