Women and girls are stationed at all the hotels, office buildings. theaters and public buildings with tags, and flowers, which they will exchange dur- ing the day for such contrfbutions as the public is willing to make. Hundreds of society women and girls are gladly acting as volunteers to gath- er in the money that is needed for the charity. There is a good deal of friend- ly rivalry to see which squad can make the best showing and which ones can show an increase as compared to pre- vious years. The Planters Hotel and the eity hall are two of the best stations. Mrs. Frederick D. Gardner, wife of the Governor-elect, is’ in charge at the Planters and Mrs Henry W. Kiel, wife of the Mayor, in charge at the city hall. Man With Hand Full of Bills.

Mrs. Butler, in mem- of her husband, who died a few weeks ago, sent her check for $500 today to Mrs. Frank V. Hammar and Max Kotany, in charge of the National Bank station. At the Carleton Building Mrs. S. I.. Jones, Who was in charge, had her hands full to keep her girls from charging out on the sidewalk to tag the tagless men who were going by. There were so many more going by than weve coming in. Once they did break out and were gar- nering the sidewalk harvest when a man who seemed to have authority came along and ordered them back into the building.

LONDON, Dec. 2.—After a day of terror in Athens, in which Venizelists ‘ought Royalists and Greek troops fired upon landed, according to Vice Admiral du entente forces which had been I-curnet, to maintain order, a _ truce Was arranged. King Constantine final- ly agreed to surrender the mountain guns demanded by the allies and the lat- ter are withdrawing their troops with the exception of a small guard. Disturbances began as soon as the al- lied troops were landed. Greek troops fired on the entente force which occu- ried the Zappeion, while reservists and Venizelists exchanged shots in the street. A pitched battle between the ‘op- pesing Greek forces occurred in Stadium street. The casualties have not been ascertained, but it is known several civilians were killed. Neutral Envoys Intervene. The Dutch and Spanish Ministers final- lv intervened and induced the King to surrender the guns, on condition that the entente withdraw the troops, except 300 left in the Zappeion. According to information from a course close to the Greek Government, Admiral du Fournet telephoned to Premier Lambros suggest- ing ‘an armistice, which was effected after a conference of the Premier and the King. While the conference was in rrogress and even after the French Minister had been summoned to take part in it, guns continued to boom. Spe- from Athens say the the hill behind the dispatches bombarded cinl French palace. French Legation The Irench legation, which guarded by French marines, was fired upon during the crisis. The Greek mil- itary authorities assert that the firing was done by rowdies. Secretary Bridge- man of the British legation was arrest- ed in the streets by a Greek patrol and taken to a police station where he was instantly released. Admiral du landed some 400 marines at an early and marched toward Athens, seizing Philopappos Hill overlooking the city. The Greek guards on all roads to the capital re- fused to permit a second marine detach- ment to advance further. All trams be- tween Athens and Piraeus were stopped and no carriages were permitted to en- ter the city. In Athens there was intense excite- ment. Women carrying loads of provi- sions hastily bought in anticipation of a siege, thronged the streets above which bullets were flying. Old men with hunt- ing’ guns on their backs mounted guard at the street corners as to release the soldiers for the fighting outside. Four hundred British marines rein- forced the French force in the Zappeion, the famous industrial exhibition build- ing which lies at the south side of the gardens of the royal palace. From the surrounding hills poured bullets into the Zappeion. allied forces appeared to be acting un- der preconceived military plan, which was intended to spare the citv as much as possible.

Yesterday they were 4i- rected specially against our position on the Babaladova and Gurarucada and west of Dorna Watra and in the Trotus and Oitus Valley. The gen- eral attacks were unsuccessful, the enemy suffering heavy losses. German troops during an advance at one point in the wooded Carpathians took more than 1000 prisoners. “Front of Field Marshal von Mack- ensen: The engagements in Walia- chia are developing tnto a great bat- tle.
