King Anticipated Demobilization.
In that interview the king stated
that in the event Greece were unable
to reach a satisfactory understanding
with the entente powers regarding the
respect due to Greek territory it would
be necessary to demobilize the army
and suffer whatever fate may be In
store. He said the Greek army and
resources were Insufficient to allow
Greece to make armed resistance
against the allies.
Would Avoid Disaster.
In some quarters this is regarded as
due to Teutonic influence but the king
said he merely wished to save his coun-
try as much suffering as possible.
The demobilization order is expected
to be Issued as a direct result of the
retreat of the Anglo-French expeditlon-

Join the Sweater Club;
Give These Tots Fresh Air
THERE is going to be lots of Christmas cheer at the Bescue Home for the
24 little boys and girls who are there without papas or mamas. The
response to The Herald's appeal for money to buy sweaters and erect a
play place to protect tljese little ones from the elements so that they can
get the air and the sunshine and grow into healthy men and women con-
tinues to be liberal and there seems no doubt but that the fund will be
raised.
Sol L Berg's sympathies have been aroused to such an extent that he
volunteers to give two suits of underwear to each boy in the institution
through The Herald. There are 11 little boys out there all Americans and
this means that JCr. Berg is going to donate 22 suits -of underwear for them.
There is a pair of twins just a year old among the 11.

The Herald's appeal for the boys and girls have donated gingham and outing
flannel for clothing for the little ones.
The Herald's fund for the tweaters has been more than raised and there
is every indication that the fund for the play place will be completed. The
total will require but little more than 100 and already over $50 have been
contributed; to be exact the total was" $74.25 at noon today;
Don't wait too long to help for it is necessary to raise the fund at once
if the playground is to be completed as a Christmas present for the little boys
and girls. If you feel tliac you want to help these little kiddies do it now.
Every cent will be spent for them. There will be no "overhead expense"
The Herald will get the plans for the proposed play place and will have con-
tractors figure on them and will have the work done by contract and pay for it
from the contributions when the work is completed.
The sweaters will be purchased and taken to the children themselves two
weeks from today Cbristma eve. The Popular store will give the sweaters

anything out of it commercially. The
Vorwaerts say a:
"The sudden withdrawal of German
exports from the world markets af-
fords the United States a tremendous
opportunity for extending its trade.
particularly in South America where
financial SSKS
ine accompanying financial expansioi
will be made easy by the new Ameri

"If the American operations are
skilfully carried out the English
bankers in South America will feel
their effects and Americans will rap-
idly secure such financial predominance
in the southern continent as under or-
dinary circumstances could not be ex-
pected for 50 years.
"The Epropean belligerents must
continue for a long time their large or-
ders for merchandise and foodstuffs
from the United States and the money
with which they .will pay for them will
provide plentiful resources for the com-
mercial campaign in South America.

day as to whether Great Britain and
France would in event the two Ger-
man attaches leave this country de-
mand that they go under parole pledg-
ing themselves not to participate in
the European war.
Germany Takes Opposite View.

Would Increase Size of All
Yards in Order to Build
All U. S. Battleships.
Washington D. C Dec 11. Three
navy yards on the Atlantic coast and
two on the Pacific will be equipped
to build battleships under the plan
which secretary Daniels will present
to congress.
He said today one of the first dread-
naughts or battle cruisers included in
the administration's plan will be built
at the Philadelphia yard where an
expenditure of $1000000 will be neces-
sary on equipment. He hopes to see
the Puget Sound and Norfolk yards
equipped eventually for building capi-
tal ships.
The result would be to give the gov-
ernment five yards. New York Phila-
delphia. Norfolk Mare Island and
Puget Sound where heavy ships could
be laid down. It would mean virtually
doubling the battleship building facili-
ties of the country since only five pri-
vate concerns now are equipped for
the work and only three have bid for
recent battleship contracts.
