King Constan- tine finally agreed to surrender the mountain guns demanded by the Al- lies, and the latter are withdrawing tbair troops, with the exceptfon of a small guard. Disturbances began as soon as the Anted troops were landed. Greek troops fired on the Entente force which pccapied the Zappeion, while reservists and Veielzelists exchanged shots in the streets. A pitched battle between the opposing Greek forces oc- curred in Stadium street. The casu- alties have not been ascertained, but it is known several civilians were killed, The Dutch and Spanish Ministers finally intervened, ani induced the King to surrender the guns, on condi- toin that the Entente withdraw the troops, except 300 •left in the Zappe- ion. According to information from a source close to the Greek goveen- ment, Admiral Du Fournet telephoned to Premier Lambros 'effecting an arm- istice, which was effected after a con- ference of the Premier with the King. While the conference was in progress, and even after the French Minister lead been summoned to -take part in It, guns continued to boom.. Special despatches from Athens say the French bombarded the hill behind the palace. AN EARLEIR STORY. Athens Special Cable, via Lon- don, Dee. 2, 8.33 a.m.-On the inter- vention ot the Spanish and Dutch Ministers,. the entire Cabinet and the Entente diplomats met at the French Legation at 8 o'clock this evening, to discuss the possibility of an agree- ment. An armistice was finally ar- ranged and the firing ceased. The number of casualties is not known, but many civaans ere known to have been killed. Admiral Du Fournet lanaed some 400 marines at au early hour and marched them toward Athens, seizing Plalopappos Hill, overlooking thescity. The Greek guards on all roads leading to the capital refueed to permit a becond marine detachment to advance farther. AU trams between .Atbens emu Piraeus were stopped, and no carriages were permitted to enter the city. - In Athens. there was intense excite- ment. Women, carrying loads cif pro- visions, hastily bought in anticipation of a siege, thronged the streets above welch bullets were flying. Old men, uith hunting guts on their backs, mounted guard at the street corners, so as to release the soldiers for the lighting outside. Four hundred Brit - WI marines reinforeee the Freuch force in the Zappeion. the famous industrial exhibition building, which nee at the south side of the gardens of the royal palace. From the sur- rounding hills Greeks poured bullets into the Zappeion. Tile ailled forces appeared to be acting under a precon- ceieed military plan, which was in. Leaded to spare the city as enuch as peesible. THE KING SUBM1Ti3. Athens, Cable, via London Cable,- -Tho King of Greece bas agreed to give up the artillery demanned by Admiral Du Fournet.

Washington, Des. -Acting on las on behalf, the American Govern- ment has informed Germany anew of its deep concern over the deportation of Belgians from their own country by the German military authorities. This action has been taken as a result of information about the deportations gathered from different sources, and after fruitless informal efforts on be- half of the Belgians made by Ameri- can Charge Grew at Berlin. Germany has been informed that the treatment of the Belgians has made a, very bad impression in this country, and that the United States cannot avoid taking notice of the situ - tion, basing its stand on the broad grounds ot humanity. The American Government, it was learned to -day, was led to move not only because of the expressed feeling that the deportations have been look- ed upon with disfavor both by the American people and Government, but because of fear that Belgian relief work, which is administered by Ameri- cans, may be interfered with. The information already in the hands of the State Department on the situation was supplemented today by the Belgian Minister, E. Havenith, who reported to Secretary Lansing that more than 100,000 Belgians had been deported, and that deportations are continuing at the rate of 3,000 a week.. He added that railroad work- ers have been taken to ;nen military roads now bang laid, and that some have been taken into the occupied portion of Northern France, and soma into Germany. The new step taken by the United States followed a visit of Colonel E. M. House and Jamee Gerard, Ameri- can Ambassador to Germany, to the White House and State Department earlier in the week.

Christ saw be- neath their admirable exterior a weakening in the prings of their opiritual life. The Head of the cburch marked every declension in piety. "First love" was the gem, which he prized mast of all, Depar- ture from it was regarded as a grie- ous fall, which called for prompt and practical repentance, Christ com- mended the Ephesians for their re- eugnance to wrone-doing, their pati- ence in toil, their insight into cbar- meter and their hostility to error. Af- ter crediting them with the good they possessed, he reproved them for their declension and urged their reform. His censure pointed to a slackening itt those qualities for which they had been commended. The *watchword to them was "Remember." They were exhorted to compare and contrast their past with their present. The most solemn part of the message was that in whieb. the Master declared the removal of their candlestick. II. To perseverance under persecu- tion. The letter to the church from Smyrna contained 'words of cheer from a reigning Saviour to a suffering chui ch. To them he presented bisi me- dinorial dominion, showing himself a living Saviour, knowing all, estimating all, forseeing all, cheering them amid all, promising light and life at the end of all. The storm of persecution was beating fiercely on the despised community that dared defy the pagan population and their established wor- ship. The church was subjected to the persecution of inveterate enemies and the bigotry and reproach of co -re- ligionists. The poverty which they suffered was directly traceable to the fact of their being Christians. They were in danger of future affiliations and imprisonment. Their history can be compressed into the word tribute. don. The Master's "Fear not" indi- cated how great -the peril was of their being crushed and heart -broken. The all -seeing One discerned . the coming storm and cheered his faithful .people to stand firm in the day of their suf- fering and to be faithful even unto death. His words, "I know," afforded *unspeakable .comfort. His testimony, "Thou art rich," spoke volumes for the genuineness of their lives. III. Against compromise with relig- ionists. The symbol of the two-edged sword indicated Christ's supreme right of judging his people. Pergamos was the incomplete church. It was in- different to subtle inward influences which were corrupting its teachers and endangering the spiritual life ot its members, and thus weakening the power of resistance. In Pergamos there were.two forces that made life a battle for the Christina the Church of Christ and the Temple of Idolatry The Christians were not enjoined to leave the city on account of its Wick- ednees. Consideration was granted for all their hindrances, and assur- ance given of it perfect understanding of their peculiar needs. Special strength and highest distinction were embodied in the promiee made to the Church of Pergamos upon their faith- ful return to whole -hearted service and correct discipline. The passibility ot triumph was made distinctive to each of the churches. The lee.dings of the Roey Spirit would be vouchsafed. T. It, A. BERESFORD IS BISSATISFIED More Effective Naval ade Needed.

There was quiet in the cave where Elijah took refuge, he eought relief from ,overstrain and a great conflict, he pronilsed himself repose, but there came a voice "wha.t dost thou here, Elijah." Again there was invasion and eruption, the hurricane and the flame were but a preparation for the music of the still, small voice. There was quiet in the dell when the Master took His disciples and said. "Come ye apart and rest awhile." He would give them a spiritual holiday, time to think of the trees sending down their roots, and taking a fresh hold of the rocks, oh, these quiet days, such a retreat brings bene- fit; only two are necessary -oneself and the Lord. As on the Mount, we feel it good to be here, but we only tarry to be refreshed, to hace our vis- ion purified, and 'enlarged, and them we go down to duty. There was quiet in the Cavendish Laboratory where Dr. Renden Harris and a friend were trying to make a magnetic measurement.
