Express Misgiving.
While there Is no change In the
actual situation tonight, some mis-
giving is beginning to be expressed
with regard to the attitude of Greece.
Various reasons are assigned for
Greek reluctance to sign the armis-
tice According. to the Greek min
ister at Paris, Greece opposes the pro-
posRllthat the beseiged garrison shall
be proyisioned during the armlstice
and thinks the allies should have in
sisted upon their surrender.
There is no doubt but jealousy ex-

Greece asserts that the Greek feet
played an important part in the war
and especially from preventing Tur-
KEY from removing her troops by sea

allies could not haye achieved such
