Newspapers, Including the Koelnlsche Zeltung, the Frankfurter Zeltung and Lokal Anzelger, give prominence to long despatches from Rome which dwell upon the Insistence with which Italy Is apt to press demands for territorial compensation tor possible Austrian gains in the Balkans. These despatches also emphasize the extent of popular feeling on this subject which Is expected to find expression in the policy of the government. So far as can be ascertained no negotiations have been begun. The attitude of Austria In case such demands are made Is problematical. A few weeks ago it seemed a* if any suggestion along this line would he met with a flat refusal to cede an Inch of Austrian territory, no matter by what euphonious phrase, such as "frontier regulation," It might be designated.

This manifestation was interpreted as indicating the perfect accord of the nation, In pursuance of Its traditions; The newspaper L;i Patsia in this respect says: " 'The Greek people who have a real admiration for their king have no doli'Jt ho will safeguard the rights of the nation and will lead them to the way of victory.' "Salih Bey, the Turkish minister, visited Premier Venizelos this afternoon." Intervention Considered Certain. All the Greek army officers in Switzerland wero recalled Saturday, Other Greeks of a military age must present themselves at the offices of the consul-general in Geneva hefore March 11. The opinion is expressed by many hero that, thore is to he a general mobilization of tho Greek army. A despatch to the Havas agency Trom Athens says the newspapers there consider as certain the intervention of Greece in the European conflict. Several opinions nre expressed with regard to the extent of Greece's co-operation witli the allies. Students Favor Intervention. LONDON, March 8.—The Exchange Telegraph's Athens correspondent says that the university students in the Greek capital made a demonstration today in favor of immediate action hy Greece, The legations of the triple entente powers were visited by students and cheered. The same correspondent, says the Greek press in its comment on the operations against the Dardanelles has declared itself in fiivor of Greece's participation in the war, taking the ground that no breaking up of the Ottoman empire should be permitted to take place without the collaboration of the Hellenic troops.

COTTON VALUED AT $200,000 BURNED AT GALVESTON (By Dally News Leased Wire) GALVESTON, Tex., March 7.-Ap proximately $200,000 worth of baled cotton was threatened ln a fire which broke out here shortly after 1 o'clock this, morning. At 2 a,m. the entire city fire department was fighting the flames in the face of a stiff northwest wind. At 2:20 a.m. tho firo was under con trol. It wns estimated that thc loss would total $200,000, fully covered hy Insurance. principal forts upon the European side of the narrows in thc Dardanelles. Two of the forts were damaged and tbe magazine of a third was blown up. These forts guard the narrow part of the straits from the European side and are believed lo be the strongest along the entire waterway, although those on the opposite side of the narrows almost equal them. One of theso foils, marked on the admiralty! mapg as L, is armed with two 11-inch guns that could hardly reach the Queen Elizabeth, which fired 29 rounds from its 15-inch guns1 by indirect fire ami had the advantage of- aeroplanes- to direct its gunners. The other two forts are armed with three ll-inch guns nnd some smaller cannon. Marines in Clash on Land. Meantime lighter cruisers continue attacks on the fortifications along the const; of Asia Minor from Beslkn, which is near the entrance to the Dardanelles, to Smyrna. This was doubtless to prevent reinforcements being sent to the straits, where there are already a large number oE Turkish troops with .whom the marines who were landed to complete the destruction of forts at the entrance to the straits have been in contact. It was in this land fighting that the allies suffered casualties, according to the British, of whom 10 were killed n»d 25 wounded, with three missing-. The Turks, however, place the British losses at a higher figure. Smyrna Forts Damaged.

"The fire of the Inflexible and I'rinoe George were ohsoi-Vod Irqtn inside the Dardanelles by the Irresistible, .''nwi- ipus, Cornwallls and Albion. Although these vessels were much fired ou by concealed guns they were not hit.

The military caste in the kennel provinces of Prussia has always de- lighted In a dog-like attitude toward its Hohenzollern sovereigns. Prussia owed its military success to It; and If the dogs have shown a devoted fidelity, their successive masters have been careful to throw them the hest bones. But what has developed during the last half century, and still moro during the preBent war, has been the Bteady extension of this blind personal feeling, natural and almost admirable in the primitive rob* ber*noblllty east of the Elbe, to the masses of a great modern nation, in whom It appears not only Incongruous 'but immoral. Yet the basis is much the same; It Is as the winners and distributors of the spoil of a world that the Oerman nation has learned to look up to the Hohenzollerns; the national self-surrender can hardly be the same when that role has been taken away for ever from Its sovereigns.—London Chronicle.

OVERTIME PUV Down Presbyterians in Hotly Contested Game—Losers Led by 15 Points at Half Time In a closely contested game, the outstanding features of which were the hard checking throughout, the great shooting of the Presbyterians in the first half and the excellent work of the Methodists in the last period in overcoming a 15-nolnt lead, , the Methodist basketball team on Saturday night defeated tho Fresbyterlans to 33.

The winning basket camo ln less than a minute after thc ball was centred, Curran passing the ball up the floor to Turner, who made a pretty shot from some distance out. The Presbyterians had easily the best of the first half, leading their opponents at the end of the period with a 25 to 10 score. The shooting of the losers ln this period was phenomenal, baskets being scored from overy point on the floor, several being shot from some distance past centre, and others resulted from difficult one- handed shots from scrimmages.

Sensational work by the Mackenzie brothers was the feature of the game and time and time again either Harry or his brother Billy would bring the spectators to their leet with thrilling end to end rushes. Monarchs Beat Eskimos .UEGINA, Sask., March 7.—Not counting the thirteenth goal scored as the gong for time sounded ln the timer's box, the score of the first two elimination games between the Winnipeg Monarchs, Manitoba champions, and the Edmonton Eskimos here last night, was 9 to 3 in favor of the Monarchs. As for thc merits of the game, considering the condition of the Ice it was not as bad as it might have been, but capture of the Allan cup will take better hockey than either team showed at any stage of the game. The ice was lumpy and soft, scaling off under the skates and the players found it most difficult to carry the puck along with any speed. Before the Ice got bad, which was not long, the players put up some fast work and it was mostly in the Monarchs1 favor, but tliey found Lyne, the Eskimos' rover, everywhere. He was al most Jn every play. His tactics were absolutely clean and though he ftot bruise on the foot In the second half it was an accident, Marplcs checking him when he had the puck close to his toes. The Regina fans who saw the Ed monton-Vancouver game declare that tho Eskimos appeared to be an en tirely dltferent team against the Monarchs. Horses For Sale We have Four Teams of Heavy.

On the return Journey the engine stopped at a height of 470>> feel, but Grail cleverly volplaned, alighting on the eastern side of the valley. The landing was so violent that he was shot out of tho machine and 1m Ity bruised, while Capt. Stirling received a severe shaking. Calculating that Akaba was 18 miles away they sot off out to find their ship, Capt. Stirling supporting Grail. They covered five miles in three and a half hours when Grail collopsed and Capt.

He hailed his ship and was taken on iboard In an exhausted condition. Tbe following morning party set out for Grail, but searched unsuccessfullM all day. Meanwhile Grail by great exertions had reached Akaba Beach In the evening but wus to exhausted to attract the attention of the ship ond wns mortified to see her steam away. She returned later, however, and her searchlights discovered the Frenchman, who was rescued after he had been without food for nearly threo days. , G.

"THE LUCKY ELOPEMENT" MUSICAL PROGRAM BY GEM ORCHESTRA WHY AMERICANS CANNOT PROTEST LID ON GERMANY French Paper Says Similar Blockade by French Aided General Washington. PARIS—The quiet and dignified manner In which the American press ind public received the Pranco*Brlt- 'sh declaration of proposed naval re- nrisals against Germany has made a strong impression in France. Writers In' the leading newspapers point out that a nation so devoted to business Interests as the United States scarcely could be expected to retrain unmoved at the proposal of closing tho sea routes to a country with *.**'"h 't ,ines an annual, business of $500,000,000. "We can prevent loss to neutrals," sirs the Matin, "by purchasing Intercepted cargoes of which we desire to deprive Germany. We should lose on these purchases what we neither could use nor resell until later, but he loss would be a mere drop tn the ocean of enormous wnr expense and very little in comparison to the extra blood it would have been necessary to Bhed for having neglected the enemy's capitulation by economic strangulation." Prof. Charles Rlchet, writing in the Figaro, declares that while the Germans contend the allies' blockade Is 'larbarous and contrary to international law a blockade carried out by a ■'ranch fleet prevented British admirals from re*victuallng Gen. Cornwallls, bus farcing him to capitulate nt "orktown ln the American revolution- iry war.

B.C BRITISH NAVY'S LUCKY DAY If tho British navy has a "lucky day" it Bhould be a Friday. It wns in Friday, July 29, 1588, that the Spanish Armada was destroyed. True, It was also a Friday, Not. 29, '(152, when Van Tromp sailed the channel with a broom at his mast* 'iead to indicate that he had swept the English from the seas,, but luck has a habit of turning and, according to the most reliable chronologies; Friday, June 13, 1653, was the decisive day in the battle off the North Foreland, when six of Van Tfomp's ship were taken and 11 were snnk. It was on Friday, April 20,1667, that Blake won his greatest victory, In ihe hartor of Santa Crus; on Friday, April 12, 1782, that Rodney, de'eated the French; Friday, Sept. 13 of the same year, that the British totally defeated the fleets ot France and Spain lu the bay of Gibraltar. It was also on Friday, July 16,1779, that the great siege of Gibraltar began, to end in the total overthrow of the hostile armaments. Trafalgar, In* deed, was fought on a Monday, but at least It was on the previous Friday; that the French admiral made the fatal decision to come out and' give battle. Nelson would bave been the last to dispute* the "luckiness" of Friday, for-he was born on that*day, created a viscount on that day, and It was on Friday, May 20, 180.1, that he assumed chief command in the Medlterran* ean. man aggression ln Europe and these facts were Impressing upon Christian* lust where lay the privilege and re sponslb'Uty of winning ov„er the worlc for Olirlst by love, by love**lhsptred lives. ' "But only if in our lives and actlonr we commend our craed, only If we arr followers of God, only if men are abb to take knowledge that they have beei with Jesus,- only If one light so shines only if tbey glorify ono Father," coulf this' privilege be that of ohurebmen could they shoulder the responsibility "Let this bo our aim: Be follower o- Christ, lead others. Let ua pray for help. Let us be bound as brethrer priests and people, by love. Let us be united ln effort nnd sorvice to advance the kingdom of God and prepare thi way for the coming of the Son of Got' in power and great glory," he concluded. A Yearning for Peace The text for Bishop Doull's evenlnr serv'ce was taken from St. John 14:27 "What a yearning there Is In the world for ,peace today," he said. Th, very essence of the church hymns were appeals for peace. Prayers were being 'offered dally for peace and nearly everybody was craving for the end of the strife Into which practically the world* had been thrown. "We are realizing, now," continued the, bishop, "that we. have loat peaco and what a blessing It was and Is. Hearts everywhere were full of misery, suffering, anxiety and sorrow and they were praying to God for peace;'-* "How con we have that which we lost and for which wo pray? How can we regain it? God never created the world to be what It la today—something has happened—the entrance lhtr the world' of sin." People wore, he said, just beginning to realize that It was the result of sin —that It was sin that was filling in diyldual lives full of cares, trials, trib ulations; and that prayers were going up—there was no other explanation of how r i been lost, "How can we regain It?" asked the bishop, ond here he offered his second message to the churchmen of his dio cese. Peaco came, he said, when sin •**s destroyed. Christ had .come to destroy sin, to crush It, to deliver His people from its guilt, bondage and oower, to destroy tbe work of the devil and to bring eternal peace. He was thc Prince of Peace. The gift of peace was a gift from Christ by Christ np-n H1b own terms and conditions. If there was no peace today it was because sin had entered Into the world, because there were no Christian nations; because there was no Christian world—only a mere handful of Christians here and there. Thc bishop then defined Christ's peace, -which, be said, was a peace that did not exempt His people from trials, troubles, tribulations and humility. Thero would - always be tribulations. Christ's llfo had been full of trials, troubles and., tribulations. It was this fact that rrought confidence to the peoplo of the world*—the fact that "Our Father in Heaven" was doing His best. He was near and nothing could happen to the nation except by His permission and for His own good. He was shielding nud protecting tho nation. Christ's peace was one that was won by conflicts. The conflict would end ln peace. Thoro had beon a conflict betwe»n the Son of Man und tho devil —It had resulted in peaco The present conflict was one against an anti- Christian spirit, a conflict which would result In triumph, a conflict In which pow.e*- *"*■' might attempted to trample on a small and comparatively defense- les3 nation, a conflict against the doctrine of ".Might Is Right," andjt was this fpot that Imbued the nation with .tonfldonoe. 3?ho confidence did not come with tho realization that God was fighting for tho nation but It was a realization tbat the nation wns fighting God's battles. Without Christ there was no peace. Those who were advocating the recon- fitruct'on of tho world's society on a universal peace basis without consideration of Christ were placing their hopes on a mere heap of sand. People would have to accept his will, which was ensv, and his burden, which wm light. Christ has peace to glvo HI* people but It must be-accepted-by Hit people becoming His servants,'His foi liwers, H's dlcclples and in this Blshot Doull urged the churchmen of his die cese to Join. He wished them to tei others, to enlist, themselves under Chr'st's banner, join his army make sacrifices, for hlm just as thr hoys In the trenches ai the front werr sacrificing themselves for the 'Emptor and thus they would bring to them* ■ "es that gift—the Peace of God— whloh all desired so much today. After the evening service Bishop Doull attended the meeting of thc Churchman's club, where he mingled and made acquaintance with Its members and took part ln the discussions which took place there. Spends Week In Parish Bishop Doull, who, Is the guest of Rov. Fred H. Graham, reotor of St. Saviour's parish, will spend. the week In the parish.
