ALLIES NEAR ATHENS
Return of Vonizelo3 to Premier

Imminent
LONDON, Aug. 31.
The colUpeo of the Greek Government as
result of the resignation ot tho Zatmls
Cabinet Is predicted In sensational ills
patches from Athens and Salonlca, today.
Following the receipt of the report that
Kins Constantino had fled from Athens to
take refuge with n Gorman escort of 300
Uhlans at Larlssa, belief was expressed that
tho Entente military authorities now In
Greece may be compelled to assume control
of the Government machinery at Athens.
That Anglo-French forces may even now
be In Athens Is lndlcnted by a dispatch
from Salonlca reporting that a strong de
tachment of allied troops had been landed
at Piraeus from the port of Athens, whoro
thoy were attacked by Greek soldiers. It
was also stated that a battle had been rag
ing between Anglo-French and Greek sol
diers around tho country estate ot King
Constantino at Tatol,
Chnos reigns supreme In Greece. Soma
ot the Greek soldiers are fighting with the
Allies and some apparently lighting against
them. A strong revolutionary party Is
growing up, the movement being fostered
by tho famine conditions and hardships
tinder which the Greek populace Is labor
ing. The Greek Government has lost con
trol of the military branch and powerful
factions am struggling to get possession of
this power.
Fresh dispatches bearlng'upon tho alarm
ing situation In the. Hellenic Kingdom ara
eagerly awaited.
Tho report that King Constantino of
Greece had fled from Athens to Larlssa to
take refugo with a detachment of German
troops was denied at tho Greek Legation
today. It was stated at the legation that
bo credence was attached to tho report
there.
Tho report was first telographed to Lon
don by the official British press repre
sentatives with the allied forces at Salonlca.
Earlier dispatches from Athens said that
the Fronch and British Ministers had
made several unsuccessful attempts to ob
tain an audience with King Constantino
slnco the Rumanian declaration of war.
On each occasion they were told that
Constantino was ill and unable to receive
them. It Is possible this fact gave rise to
the sensational rumors that he has fled
his capital.
The fall of the Zalmls neutrality Cabi
net may mean tho Immediate elevation of
former Premier Venlielos to tho head of
the Greek Government nnd a declaration
ot war on tho Central Powers, It Is be
lieved here.
NEW PLANT ADVOCATED
BY WATER CHIEF
Continued from Pace One
cludo from tho calculation of the city's In
debtedness outstanding Water Bureau
bonds, providing that tht bureau shows
that It Is self-BUstalnln;.
"The amendment was passed by the Leg.
Islature last year," Chief Davis said. "If It
Is passed by the next Legislature It will be
submitted to the vote of the people In the
fall of next year. If the voters ratify It
at that time. It will put us entirely on our
feet. We then should have ample funds
for the work.
"Waterworks are out of sight, or under
ground, and they are given little thought by
tho population In general until something
goes, wronc and the supply Is cut off. Then,
I assuro you, thoy think hard and plenty.
Nevertheless, aa any thinking citizen will
readily see. they are of the utmost Im
portance. Certainly, to a great extent, they
are the life of the city, since they feed It.
so to speak."
The Philadelphia water simply has bean
lucky In the absence of serious accidents.
Chief Davis explained. He pointed to the
fact that one serious break might endanger
the whole supply, or the greater part of
It; and might cause untold discomfort and
expose certain sections of the city not cov
ered by the high-pressure system to a very
grave Are risk.
"A monster 40,000,000,000-gallon reserve
reservoir has Just been built In New York,"
Chief Davis said. "We assuredly need one
here. Not so large, necessarily, but one
wmen wouia give us a reserve.
"There Is. virtually no reserve or storage
reservoir In Philadelphia. Other cities have
l them. Boston and Cleveland have reserve
reservoirs. One la needed here If the water
problem Is to be solved and handled effi
ciently. "The plan has nothing to do with the
waste problem. That we hope to handle
with meters. It will, however, play an
important part In helping the low-pressure
conditions in some sections of the city, It
will give a better supply In all sections of
the city. The Idea is to supply water from
two large sources, so to speak. These
Trill work together and do the double serv
ice of supplying the city and affording a re
serve of water, something that we lack
now."
Present water supply conditions In this
city were termed hazardous by Chief Davis.
"Of the total supply, 85 per cant comes
through a single chain of works starting
at Torresdale. They go from there to
Lardner'a Point, and then through a set of
mains to the city. Any serious accident
would affect the whole chain. From Lard
tier's Pptnt the one chain of pipes Is all
under One street until they reach a more
central seotion of the city. As there m
cross or gate chambers In these pipes, oneT
serious accident wouia put a great part of
the system out of commission.
"Serious accidents can happen at any
time. It always is wise to be prepared for
them. Under present conditions one occl.
dent to one of the 11-foot pipes at the
Torresdale pumping station would block the
whole system. True, fhe work is well done
there and the material is good, but ma
terial is material and is not Infallible. " It
can break, and as far as I can see we
have had all the breaks of good luck,
"Two years ago on Decoration Day there
was an accident and the cellars were flooded
by a break In one of the mains. Luckily
there was no serious flro that day outside
the high-pressure region. A flooding of the
cellars is very serious, as it upsets all the
machinery.
"Wa had a small accident in one of the
discharge pipes this summer. The pipe did
not break, but it cracked. In, fait. It 1
cracked still and U being held together by
clamps. If the pip broke the cellars
might have flooded, or that la one of the
many things that might have happened,
"I could give any number ot reasons
Why we need the second reservoir, but I
think that the point is perfectly clear, and
H can be readily seen that the need Is
most imperative

VALLEYS NORTH OF VICENZA
ROME, Aug. SI. Austro-Hungarlnn
troops appear to be Initiating a new offen
sive along the Italian front, but thus far It
has been without result. Tho official report,
Issued by tho Wnr Ofllco today, states that
attacks In tho I'oslna and Astlco valleys
wero repulsed by the Italians.
The onemy also directed a heavy artillery
attack against tho Italians' newly captured
positions on Mount Caurlol. These are being
consolidated by the Italians.
Tho text of tho official report follows:
In the upper Poslna and Astlco
valleys small attacks by tho enemy
were repulsed. Yesterday nrtlllery of
nil calibers concentrated on Intense flro
on our new positions on Monte Caurlol,
commanding tho Flemme valley, and
threatened our communications between
Cavalcso nnd tho uppor Avlslo valley.
However wo continued to consolidate
our positions.
In the Dravo vnlley wo again shelled
tho railway stations at Toblach nnd

lery and bombing ncttvltles. Wo drove
off nn attack near Tlvoll on Wednesday.
HoBtlle air craft dropped bombs on
the lagoon ot Mariano, killing a woman
and wounding a few civilians. There
was no damage.
ROME, Aug. 31. Finance Minister Meda,
who represents tho Catholic party In the
Cabinet, but was speaking officially for tho
Italian Government, said last night:
"Tho main reason why Italy declared war
on Germany Is that unless sho did so she
would not have had an equal volco with
Great Britain and France In the peace ne
gotiations. "Furthermore, there Is another good rcn
Bon for entering tho war against Germany.
For a time Catholics stood for neutrality.
Now thoy realize tho purpose of the war Is
to establish tho force of right over the
right of force.
"It Is an Illusion to believe that with
the coming of peace tho desires of the
pacifists will be realized; that after the
Iron age will come tho golden age. After
Its present terrible oxperlenco Europe must
prepare to prevent Its recurrence; other
wise. It must despair forever of social
Drogress."

COLUMBIA, S. C. Aug. 31. Cole L.
Bleaso, twice Governor, received 68,460
votes In Tuesday's Democratic primary for
nomination to a third term. The Incum

Despite the large plurality for cx-Gov-crnor
