London. Nov. 25.--Cordlal .relations between Greece and the Entente Pow ers have been established with the Greek government's assurances that no attempt will be made to interfere with the Allied troops should they under any contingency be forced to cross the Greek frontier and that, as heretofore, railway and other, facilities will be af forded them. That the assurances and the guar antees are satisfactory to the Allies Is enown in the fact that the Greek grain ships which have been; held up at Mal ta have been allowed to proceed to their destinations, relieving what would have been a very serious short age of bread supplies if , their deten tion had been prolonged. It is under stood that the Allies have also prom ised Greece a monetary indemnity af ter the war for any , damage which might be done through the occupatioa of Greek territory. . Rnssla May Intervene. With this thorny question out of the way the British public has centered its interest upon the attitude of Rumania and the intervention of Russia. It is well established that - Russia has- concentrated- great army near .the Ru manian frontier,- and dispatches state that a large number of heavy ) guns hajfe. axriveA-ax .fcxtessa-jaroia. .. jgpaa xor. tMs use. However," the direction in which this army will move will be dic tated by the policy the Rumanian gov ernment adopts. Berlin shows some uneasiness but beyond that and the statement of the Rumanian premier, M. Bratiano. that the relations between Russia and Ru mania were never better, there is noth ing to go on. - - As a result of the success of the Austro-Germans and Bulgarians in gaining command of the Kosaovo Pla teau, the Serbian government has mov ed to Scutari, while the army is de fending the little fringe of ' Serbia which lies between the Sitnika river and the Albanian and .Montenegrin frontiers. It can be provisioned from Scutari from which place the- Monte negrins built good roads during the occupation. f , . . , Serbs Hold Monastir. . Monastir is still in the possession of the Serbians, but the Bulgarians are pushing toward it, while, the army of General von Gallwitz is reported to be on the way down the Vardar valley to help the Bulgarians attack the Anglo French forces. i Heavy cannonading continues on the western front; winter has put a stop to any big movements on the eastern front, while the Italians are persist ing in their offensive and are dally getting nearer Gorizia across the Ison 20, and Rovereto and Riva, In the Trentino. GREEK REPLY FRIENDLY Guarantees Given the Allies Are' Ac cepted as Satisfactory. Athens, (via liOndon), Nov. 25--Greece has met the demands, of the Entente Powers and given guarantees tnat their requirements will be fulfilled. Official announcement is made that the reply to the collective note presented b ythe Entente ministers has been de Uverd to them. The announcement , says: .-- "The reply is couched In Very, friend ly terms and gives satisfaction of the demands of the Entente Powers and guarantee considered essential.' The collective note was presented to the Greek government on Tuesday. As outlined in official dispatches, it con taind no request for Greek Intervention In the war with the Allies, but asked Greece to give assurance that she wuld preserve her friendly attitude In cas the Allied troops now in Macedonia 8hould be compelled to retreat across the frontier to Greek territory.

In the first half the Tar Heels played Virginia even, and it was .only when injuries took man for man that the" battling Tar Heels saw their line buckle for sub stantial gains.

' "Under existing law the present duty of one cent per pound on raw sugar ceases May 1, 1916, and the pres ent emergency revenue law expires on December 31, 1915. Assuming that these two -sources of -revenue are elim inated, -the following . results . may Be expected- for- the fiscal-year. 1916: "General- fund balance in. the treasu ry - July - -1,-.1915, as.-already shown. $104,17O,105.7.. The estimated total receipts -for 1916 are ,$670,365,500. Total- $774y535y05.78. - "Total estimated disbursements for 1916,- excluding ' Panama -Canal pay raents, $716,801,000. .

These may be paid by sale of bonds. 'If paid, however; out of-current revenues, we must deduct $25,000,000. On this baste, available balance-at the end of fiscal year 1916 would be $76,644,605.78. "Now let us consider the fiscal year 1917 whiCh we began with a balance in the treasury of $7.644,605.78.
