PAGE TWO THE ASHEVILLE GAZETTE-NEWS Friday, January 21, 1916. GREECE'S B IS Deeply Moved While Making Statement Concerning High Handed Treatment of Greece ' by the Entente Powers. LIST OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST ALLIES LONG Says Entente Papers Have De nied Him Fair Hearing and Turns to U. S. Press to ' Find Expression. Athens, Jan. lS.U-Bjr way of Paris Jan, 21. King Constantino of Greece todny sent for the correspondent of the Associated Press in order to ex press through the newspapers of the United States, as ; he said, his pro found indignation as what he termed the unheard of hmh-handedness of the recent action of the entente pow ers toward Greece. The Uina; was trreatlv moved as he recited one after another of a- Ion? list of what he called the allies' encroachments on the sovereignty of Greece which cul minated in the occupation of 'Corfu and the '.'blowing up the 'bridge at Dcmir Ilisser. "It is the merest cant." said Kins Constantine. " for Great Britain and France to talk about the violation vt the neutrality of FieU'ium and Luxem burg after what they themselves have done and are iloini; here. I have tried in every way I know to set lair play from the British and French newspa pers and a fair hearing from the Brit ish and French public. I "So sooner had the 'British papers attacked Greece with the most ttmaz inK perversion of facts and misrepre nentarion than I called one of their correspondents and gave him face to face a full statement of Greece's posi tion. 1 wave a most frank statemenc to the l'Yeneh press through one of the papers which were most bitterly attackln? Greece. The only forum ot public opinion open to me now is that of the United States. "The situation is far too vital for me to care a snap about royal dignity in the matter of interviews when the very life of Greece as an independent country is at stake. 1 shall appeal to America again and again for p (air heading which is denied me in the countries of the al lies." "Just look at the. list of Greek ter ritory -already occupied by allied tri;ips. It is an if that part of the United States which was won from Mexico in the Mexican war were occu pied by foreign troops, and with not j?u much as 'by your leave.' "What matter If they promise to lny for the damage they do after the war is over? They cannot pay for the Kuftering of mv people who have been driven from their homes. "They plead military necessity. Under the constraint of military ne cessity Germany invaded Ualg'um and occupied Luxemburg. "The history of their Pulkan poli cies is a record of one crass mistake after another, und now through pique over their failure in their Balkan cal culations, they try to unload on Greece the results of their own stu pidity. "We warned them that the Galltpnli enterprise V as bound to fall and that negotiations with Bulgaria would te fruitless and that the Austro-German forces would crush Serbia; and now like angry children the entente pow ers have turned upon Greece, delib erately throwing away every advan tage they ever had of Greek sympa thy. "At the beginning of the war 80 per cent of the Greek people were favorable to the entente powers. To day not more than 40 no, not 20 per cent would turn a hand to aid the allies." "Why does not your majesty demo bilize?" tho correspondent asked. "Perhaps I shall," the king replied, 'hut I do not feel that I can afford to disarm before the fate of Salonikl Is decided. The allies evacuated Galll poll after a year. One day they may change their minds about Salonikl and leave the place to the mercy of the first comer. Hnlonlkl la a. Greek city and I propose that it shall re main Greek." "What docs your1 majesty think will be the outcome of the war?" the king was asked. 'A draw," he, returned; "don't Jrou?" By royal order the above IntVrvlow wan countersigned by the court mar rf.eX Mercati. GIBSON FUNERAL SATURDAY MORNING i Funeral services over the body of 'J. A.

Violent attacks by the ' Russians, with Strongly reinforced armies, are being launched against the . Austro- Hungarians along .the Bessabarian frontier. That the renewal of the offensive here is of a canguinary char acter is indicated by the Austrian offi cial report, which says that between Toporouts and Boyan the Russians at several places succeeded in entering the trenches, of the Teutons and en gaged the defenders in hand-to-hand encounters. To the northeast of Czernowitz, the Russians claim to have captured an Austrian sector and to have repulsed five desperate counter-attacks. The Russian official communication tells of a raid on the Black Sea by Russian-'-torpedo boats, one hundred and sixty-thre sailing vessels being destroyed along the Anatolian coast. In the Caucasus, the Turks, accord ing to ePtrograd, were driven from their positions in the center of the long front, suffering heavy losses. Announcement was made in the house of commons that the British relief column coming up the Tigris valley tu, the relief of Kut El Amara, has come in contact with the Turks at Kssin, seven miles from Kut El Ama ra, , where a British, force has been hemmed in for several weeks. A big battle between the British and Turk ish forces is hourly expected. MASONS BACK FROM GRAND LODGE MEET Dr. B. F. Hall Elected Grand Stewardr Completing Plans For Reunion of Next Week. C r".

Horse Sense This phrase is common, but like many other common phrases, It is shy on meaning. So much depends on what horse. There are some horses that are intelligent. And others that have very little more sense than people have. There are some steeds that, if they could arrange it, would chew gum and stick the wad on the un derside ot the chair. And there are others that, if they were human, would say, "ex-squlzz-lt," and call a cu-po-la a "cu-pa-lo" as you probably do, yourself. We have had a more or less in timate personal acquaintance with all sorts of horses, from clothes horses to real meat ones. We have known horses In every previous condition of servitude. And the quantity known as horse sense was as fluctuating as the horse-acquaintances were numer ous. One time when we were an agri culturist we associated on terms of equality with a large, mongrel bay mare with a head the size of a flour-barrel. We never saw so large a head before with so much vacant space. It was the most tenantless bean we have ever encountered. Once we used her for a spark plug. We left her colt at home, so she would return swiftly. She did. . Mead and tall up and emitting a whinny like the wall of a lost soul every hundred yards of the four miles between the jane's house and mine. When she and we reached home, which we did in a few Jolty min utes, we found father sitting up in the haymow with the colt In his lap. The steed's child had got hungry and lonesome and had climbed all through the barn, nickering like a siren. This was the only time we ever saw our father reasoning with a perfectly healthy colt at 2 a.m. , We had thought, when 'we went to see that girl, that we were too old to be spaakci. As soon as the colt got at its nourishment, we found out that we were younger than we had figured. When you are told of a man who has horse-sense, unless you know what horse, you haven't been told anything.
