Greece and Entente Have Arriv­

ed at Satisfactory Agreement

for War.

ALLIES PROMISE

MONETARY REWARD

Turkish Offensive on Gallipoli

Peninsula Broken by British

and French.

London, ,Nov. 25.—Cordial relations

between Greece and the Entente pow­

ers have been re-established by the

Greek government's assurance that

no attempt will be made to interfere

with the Allies' troops should they

under any condition be forced to

cross the Greek frontier and that, as

heretofore railway and other service

will be accorded them.

Guarantee Is Satisfactory.

That the guaranty is satisfactory

to the Allies is shown by the fact that

grain ships which had been held up

at .Malta, have been allowed to pro­

ceed to their destinations. It is Itfr

lieved there would have been a very

serious shortage of bread supply if

their detention had been prolonged.

Promise Monetary Indemnity.

It is understood that the Allies also

have* promised Greece a monetary in­

demnity after the war for any damage

which might be done through the oc­

cupation of Grecian territory. With

this |uesiion out of the way the Brit­

ish public lias centered its interest on

the attitude of Roumunia and the in­

tervention of Russia.

Mobilized A Great Army.

It is well established Hint Russia

has completed a groat army near the

Roumanian frontier and dispatches

state thai a large number of heavy

guns have arrived ut Odessa from

Japan for its use. However, the di­

rection in which this army will move

will be dictated by .the policy the Rou­

manian government'adopts.

Governor Black of thV Yukon

Gives Up Lucrative Position

for Rigors of War.

San Francisco, Nov. 25.—Governor

George Black of the Yukon wired his

resignation as governor to Premier

Borden of'Canada, it was learned to­

day. He is preparing to accept a com­

mission as captain in the expedition­

ary force to be sent to France in the

spring. Arrangements were made re­

cently for such a course by General

Samuel Hughes, commanding the Can­

adian militia. Governor Black, it was

said, would go into the training camp

in Vancouver for three months and

then take command of a company to

be recruited in Yukon and concentrat­

ed at Dophin, when the mep will

march over land 480 miles on their

way to Vancouver.

FACTOR FOR GOOD

London, Nov. 25.—"After a year's

work, although we have had police­

women serving in the roughest sec­

tions of London, we have always

found moral force stronger than phy­

sical force," declares Miss Damar

Dawson, head of the women police, in

her first annual report.

"The courts have already recogniz­

ed the usefulness of the women police

especially in the work of the child­

ren's courts," continues Miss Daw­

son, "and women in uniform have

been particularly useful in patrolling

the parks, which in big towns are of­

ten danger spots for women and child­

ren.

"The policewomen are trained in

signalling, first aid, drilling, and in

the elements of civil and criminal

law."

Washington, Nov. 25.—Increases in

internal taxation rather than issuing

bonds to meet the first expense of

the treasury department in a formal

statement issued tonight giving an

estimate of the federal government's

revenue and expenditures up to the

end of the fiscal year beginning next

July.

Need Huge Sum,

Assuming thai congress will con

tinne in effect the present emergency

tax law and custom duty on sugar,

the secretary estimates that $112,806,

.194 in additional revenue will .be need­

ed for the expenditures for 1917, in­

cluding "$93,800,000 for new measures

for national defense. This amount,"

says the statement, "can easily be

raised by internal taxation without

an appreciable burden upon the

American people.

"The resources and wealth of the

country are so great and are increas­

ing so rapidly that the need of the

government for national defense read­

ily can be met. Merely as a sugges­

tion I would say that consideration

may well be given to the increasing

rates of taxation on individual and

corporation incomes and as reducing

the expenses tinder the present law."

Consideration may well be given to

increasing the rate of taxation of in­

dividuals and corporations and a re­

duction from $3,000 for single and

$4,000 for married persons to $2,000

and $3,000, respectively. The third

tax could 'begin at $10,000 or $1'5.000,

instead of $20,000 as provided at. pres­

ent.

To Tax Autos.

In addition to any increases that

may be made in the corporation am:

individual income taxes, a tax could

(be imposed on such products as gas­

oline, crude and fine oils, horse power

of autos and other internal com'tnu

t.ion engines and various articles thai

it is not necessary to mention. These

taxes would be widely diffused anl

scarcely felt.

It is, of course the function of con­

gress to determine what revenues

shall be raised, and how, and these

must have been considered, not as a

program, but as suggestions for dis­

cussion.

Mrs. Rinehart does riot want the

United 3'ates to go to. war. Her own

sympathies in the 8tri?P?'e are entire­

ly definite, but she does not urge any

"hostilities" because of them, .fin the

contrary, she is more anxious than

anything else in the world tpr the

United States to remain at peace. But

she is firmly convinced by what' she

has seen and heard, sfie says, that the

one way for this country to avoid war

is by preparing for It,

"That is the most trite of all plati­

tudes, when one says it,'' she admit­

ted, and added, qulckjy, "but no mat

ter how trite it may .sound, it is true, I

and I want to say it' and to rtiake it

as emphatic as I can."N

Mrs. Rinehart believes that at the I

end of or shortly after the present I

conflict in Europe tljttf. United States

will be forced into such intense rival

ry with the European nations that

war will be inevitable unless we are

so prepared to defend ourselves that

attack is impossible. The reason for

this, she points out, .will not be any

racial or political"qjiarrel. but our

own commercial supremacy.

"The effect of the*war will be to

place the United Statbs in a position

of commercial supremacy over all the

rest of the world," she said. "We

shall hold the economic balance, and

be able to swing it. -. Ii Is the most

natural thing in the world that tills

should make us the object of jeal­

ousy.

"No matter which sule wins or

which side is defeated, we stand to

lose, by the very force of our 'ad­

vantages.' Not racially, or because of

any fault of our own, but. through

It isn't because we are a greedy na­

tion—I don't think that we are thai

—but simply because the conditions

of the world's affairs at present are

such as to force us into this position

of commercial supremacy, that the

other nations will be jealous of us.

That is one thing we must remember.

HENRY FORD.

Consider Matttr.

Governor iHanna stated last evening

that he was giving serious thought

to the matter 'but had not decided

whether he would accept the invita­

tion or not. ...

The following New York dispatch

outlines the object of the trip:

•"I have chartered this peace ship

to go to fturope to call into life a

neutral conference," said/' Air. Ford.

"In what way I shall tell the public

later.

"We are going over there to see it

we can do any good. We are going

to see if we can't get the men out of

the trenches on Christmas day. Wn

hope iwe will have the support of

every mother in the world in one great

effort to stop this war, crush militar­

ism and wipe away talk of prepared­

ness forever."

Ford told President Wilson of his

plan Tuesday. He would not say

whether the president had approved

it.

Tells of Plan.

The Oscar H. is a 10.000-ton vessel,

large enough to carry 200 passengers.

But Mr. Ford said it wa3 'possible only

a few peace delegates would make

the trip.

"That is a detail to "be worked out,"

he said. "We do not intend to carry

only pacifists. We shall invite seri­

ous-minded men of all beliefs to make

the (rip. I shall go myself if I can."

The voyage of peace will have the

backing of the International Woman's

Peace society, but will tie financed

entirely by Mr. Ford.

It was said that assurances have

come from Europe that peace advo­

cates in other neutral countries will

gladly join in the enterprise. The

names of the persons with whom iMr.

Ford had been in conference in Eu­

rope were held in confidence.

"In some ways this meeting will 'be

similar to that of the Woman's Peace

congress at The Hague, said Mr.

Ford, "the voyage of t'ae peace ship,

I believe, will inspire other neutral

countries to action that twill mean the

calling of a congress of neutrals to

end the war."

Ford will meet Cardinal Gibbons-, at

.Baltimore Friday and explain his idea

to him. Announcement of the details

of the peace ship will be made later

this week.
