London-The Entente Allies have
demanded that Greece either join
with them and fulfil her treaty obli-
cations TO Serbia, or demobilize; ana
In order TO convince King Constan-
tine that they mean what they say,
the Allies have declared a commercial
blockade of the Hellenic empire, ac-
cording TO dispatches from Athens.
No confirmation of these state
ments is available here, but it is GER
tain that Lord Kitchener, the British
war secretary, who had an hours
audience with the King OF Greece, anc
afterwards saw Premier Skouloudis
took a firm stand and told them what
the Allies could and would do unless
the demands were conceded
The Greek Cabinet met to consider
the situation and few hours should
show what Greeks future attitude
will be- The Greek government has
again affirmed its friendliness to the
Allies, but has not yet taken the steps
required to prevent Greece from be-
ing counted among the friends OF the
Central Powers.
The Entente Allies will not permit
any delay; the position of the Ser

of the present uncertainty impossible.
Already the Sorbians are making what

the north. the northwest, the north
east and the east, and even the Mon
tenegrins, who held their positions
for SO long. are being forced back.
OF the French and British troops
in the south, no news has been re-
ceived. Apparently they are only
holding their positions and can no
longer hope to render assistance to
the Serbians except by keeping a
large number of Bulgarians engaged.
According to German reports, an ef-
fort will be made by the French and
British to save the Serbian armies
by sending troops through Montene-

There is no change on the other
battle fronts. The Italians are still

along the Styr river last week. Car

simply TO shell them out the next
day.
The German attack, which met
with initial success, was doomed to
final failure, as the country around is
great marsh, and, in the opinion OF
Petrograd, the offensive was taken
for political, not military purposes,
with the object OF impressing the
Rumanians.
