BULGARIA* WILL GET ULTIMATUM

(Continued from page one)

der the difficult conditions presented by the occupation of Greek territory by the entente forces. Will Demand Bulgar Retreat The king discussed the mobilization problem minutely with General Mosothopoulos, chief of staff, and General Yanakitsas, former minister of war. He probably will preside personally over a meeting of the crown council at noon today. Prince George of Greece, brother of King Constantine, who has been in London for some time representing the views of the Greek court, received a telegram from the king recalling him to Athens. Venizelos May Head Army. That the armies of Greece soon will be hurled against the Invaders in Macedonia is agreed in both military and diplomatic circles here, but who will lead them is a question. It may be Venizelos and not the king. According to the dispatches from Greece, Venizelos continues to gather an army, while the king prepares to declare war on Bulgaria. But in the face of wholesale desertions of army and navy officers and troops to Venizelos’ standard, doubt is expressed that the king will be able to gather sufficient military forces to execute his plans. In this connection it may be emphasized that 'the king determined upon military co-operation with the entente with his council—not his cabinet Thus the outcome may be direction* of the war by the committee of national defense, the Venizelos revolutionary organization. Mytilene Joins Revolt Athens, Sept. 29, via London.— The loy;al officers and soldiers of the garrison in Crete, who are said to consist of a third of the Greek force in the island, have requested the entente allied to provide means for their return to Athens. The Island of Mytilene has joined the Venizelos movement, all the local authorities having placed themselves under the “committee of national defense” established in Salonijti.

WIFE INNOCENT, SAYS LE DUC

Chicago Husband Loyally Stands by Eastern “Triangle" Tragedy Victim. Philadelphia, Sept. 29—Joseph C. Le Due of Chicago greeted his wife with words of cheer and comfort when he approached her bedside in Jefferson hospital. He listened with closest attention to every detail of her story of how she went to a room in the Hotel Walton with J. C. Graveur of New York, how Mrs. Belzer stepped from behind a closet door and began shooting. She said she came to see her nephew and his baby. Graveur, she asserted, had been supplied with her nephew’s address and later bad arranged to meet her. She said she did not wish to be bothered with her handbag and that on Graveur’s suggestion had left it in his room. After dancing in the roof garden she returned to get it. Mrs. Belzer then stepped out of her hiding place arid fired. Le Due loyally defended his wife as an innocent victim of the tragedy. When asked how he accounted for Graveur and Mrs. Le Due being registered as man and wife his face became grave. “That was the work of Graveur; I am sure Lillian knew nothing of it,” he exclaimed.
