London.-Another 24 hours have compliated rather than clarifled the situation it Greece, the attitude of whose King is causing the Allies mnch concern. King ('onstantine urged MI. Zaitnis to retain the Premiership. I. Zailmis declined to acqiuesce. however. ac cording to Athens. whereupon the King called a council of Ministers. the deliberations of which may or may not determine whether Greece is to align herself against Bulgaria or persist in her attitude of "benevolent neutrality" which means that though the Allied troops may cross her soil her armies will not aid them in driv ing the lulgarians front Serbia. Meanwhile the Serbian northern army is being slowly but surely groundti down before the combined pressure of the Austro-German and Btulgarian forces. The fate of Nish hangs by a hair and it is only at the southern end of the battle front that the Hulgars are meet itg with any reverses. There, according to reports. the British are co-operating with the French. but as heretofore. these reports are unotTicial and frag mentary.

The Premier's announcement that "*Frace will not sign a pcace agreement until after her restoration by right of victory. and until she shall have obtained all guarantees of a durable peace," was greeted with cn1thusias:n. M. lenaudel. the Socialist leader. in a speech declared that France should annex none of the terriory e:lp tured from enemin es of France. This was taken to mean that the Socialists were opposed to the recov ery of Alsace and Lorraine and the deputy's Utterances brought forth tu mu:t and violent protests.

New York Defeats New Constitution, and Elects Republican Legislature and Three Congresmen. Charlotte.-Amiendiments to the Con stituttions of the state of New York, Pennsylvania and Mlaseachusetts to enfranchise women met overwhelming defeat at the hands of the voters, while the - amendment to the Ohio constitution for statewide prohibition in that state met a similar fate. The dropping of the majority against woman suffrage in Pennsyl vinia to aprorimiately 50,000 and the failure of the Progressives to poll enough votes in the Massachusetts gubernatorial race to maintain their legal standing as a political party are the outstanding features of the latest returns from Tuesday's state elec tions. Throughout the day the majority agaiust suffrage in Pennsylvania esti mated at times as high as 200.000, die creased. This wit~h the additional news that 25 out of 67 counties in the state had carried for suffrage, gave its supporters great encouiragement. Although suffrage was defeated in New York more than 500,000 votes were cast for it. The majority against was about 175.000. In M assachusetts womans' suffrage was defeated by a majority of 13:?, 0S3. the vote being 163,406 for and ';"".4 e against. In 0': o statewide pt'ohibition was defe-ated by a majority estimated on almost cOmplete return- fro:n, :0.000 to 40'.000. O'e :slt f h m t eetin fe, Ja . I.

BEST OPINION IN COUNTRY Defense Program Represents Best Professional and Expert Opinion. -Should Interest All. New York.--President Wilson open ed the Administration campaign for its national defense program in a comprehensive and carefully prepared address delivered there at the Man hattan Club banquet. He declared solemnly that the United States had no aggressive purposes, but must be prepared to defend itself In order to assume "fulil liberty and self-develop ment.' Significantly, he said that "with ourselves in this great matter we associate all the peoples of our own hemisphere," adding that " we wish not only for the United States but for tnem in the fullest freedom of independent growth of asction." The president was received with enthusiastic applause as he entered the banquet Ball and during his ad dress. The hall was decorated with American flags and filled even to the galleries with Democrats happy over their victory of Tuesday in New York City. When the president arose to speak every one applauded until he was forced to signal far quiet. "Within a year," said the president, "we have witnessed what we did not think possible, a great European con flict involving many of the greatest nations of the wor'd. The influences of the great war are everywhere in the air. All Europe is in battle. Force everywhere speaks out with a loud and imperious voice in a titanic strug glo of government and from one end of our own dear country to the other men are asking one another what our own force is, how far we are prepared to maintain ourselves against any in terference with our national action or development." The president called upon "men of all shades of political opinion" to ral ly to the support of the defense pro gram. He said it represented "the best professional and expert opinion of 'the country" and gave warning that "if men differ with me in this vital matter, I shall ask them to make it clea.: how far and in what way they are interested in making the permanent interests of the coun try safe against disturbances." There is no need for the country to feel panic-stricken, the president de clared: because it stands in friendly GREEK CABINET RESIGNS. Premier Appealed for Vote of Confi dence in Government and Lost. L-ondon.-The defeat of the Greek government In the chamber of depu ties and tihe consequent resignation of the Zaliris~ cabinet is the latest sensa tionl afforded b~y the IBamans. While of course it was understoodl that Eleutherious Venizelos, the former pr(eir, had it in his power to turn the gove-rn ment out wvhenever he so oc'sired, having the majority in the "harnber at his back, tihe fall of Zai inis Caire unexpectedly as it was be ifve'd that the leader of the majority hand decided to accord tihe premnier suf fientI suipport to enable him to re main in office for tihe present at least. As so often happens, however-, a vote of confidence was dlemandled by tile government on a matter of minor irportance--somne dlifference of opin ion between M. Venizelos and the min later of war, General Yanakitsas on military proposals-and the govern menuit was defeated by a vote of 147 to 114. Fight In Haiti. Washilngton.-P-irivate WV. L,.

MAY BE PERMANENT AFFAIR Mourntain City Will Be Selected For Holding Annual Event If It So Desires. Greenville.--'The success of the ex position is amply demonstrated," saki Frederick H. Bishop, president of the Textile Exhibitors' association of Boston, "there is not only room, but a demand for both shows," he continu ed in answe rto a question concerning the expediency of having two textile. expositions, one in Boston and another in the south. "I think Greenville will be called upon to make good on the 4 proposed exposition building which would provide a suitable place for this show to be held at regularly recurring. intervals." The second day of the Southern Textile exposition was decidedly suc cessful from the standpoint of at tendance and general interest. Dur ing the two days .pproximately 9,000 4 paid admissions to the exposition have been recorded. This number does not. include the exhibitors nor the mem bers of the textile association. Crowds. literally swarm in the building from morning until evening. The third day approximately 5,000 people visited the exhibits. Although the building has been crowded for the whole time there has not been the slightest accident and nothing has marred the success of the exposition. Visiting manufacturers, exhibitors and others are of one accord in stat ing that the show is excellent from all standpoints. The Southern Textile association of which W. M. Sherard of Williamston 4 is president, held a three-day meeting. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Lieut. Gov. Bethea on behalf of the state, Mayor Webb for the city and E. A. Snyth for the South Caro lina Cotton Manufacturers' associa tion. Several hundred members of the association were in the city. It has become known that a regular exposition building is being planned, and that the exhibitors, manufactur ers and others will be informed t this city will afford the best o ic commodations for textile show in years to come. It is concedodt at Greenville can, secure this Sou arn show regularly if it wants it. Otl Re desire of this city to have the exp 1. tion there is no doubt. Exhibitors are pleased with the fi t show and are willing to have this city, according to a statement made * b~y a memb~er of the executive com ittee, the permanent home of the Southern Textile exposition. An ap Iplication for a charter for the show will be madec immediately. Big Cargo of Coal. Charleston .-Trhe largest cargo 'ot bunker coal loaded on any ship since the opening of the new pier of the Southern Railway company on the Cooper river was taken aboard by the British steamer Whindyke that came into thrs port last week. The Whin dyke brought a load of iron pyrites from Hluelva, Spain, to the Ashepono Fertilizer' company. The ship loaded 1,600 tons of coal into her bunkers, at least dlouble the amount that has been loaded by any previous vessel. Wil liam Johnson & Co. loaded the Whin dyke with the, product of 'the Stonega company, whose local representative9 they are. 2,000 Prepare to Vote. Charleston. - Approximately 2,000 citizens had qualified themselves to vote in the general election December 14 when the city registration books were closed.

Paving Streets In Sumter. Sumter.-Main street andl then Liberty street will be the first to bn paved from the $225,000 issue of bonds(1 for street paving, according to a de cision of city council at a special ses slon when this matter was discussedl. Citizens from practically every one of the main thoroughfares of the city had petitioned that theIr streets be paved, so that it became necessary for council to (determine which should come first, as the funds will not be insufficient to pave more than a small part of the pavIng requested.
