ITALY TO ASSIST IN BALKAN
ThemseIves Not to Conclude Sep
arate Peace Treaty.

London.-Italy has announced her
adhesion to the treaty of London
whereby the allies undertake not to
conclude separate peace. and also
has declared her intention of sending
help to the Servians
This news, it is believed here, will
go far to clear the situation, especially
in Greece, where negotiations are still
proceeding on the quadruple enten-
tes request that Greece allow the al
lies free use of her railways and the
right to police Greek waters against
submarines.
Latest advices indicate that the ne
gotiations are likely to end in com
plete satisfaction to the entente pow
ers. The assurance that Italy. as well
as Great Britain, France and Russia,
is to give military support to the Ser.
vians in their efforts to regain their
lost territory makes the case for Greek
assistance stronger
Otherwise the situation in the Bal
kans remains unchanged. The Bulga-
rians have cut communications be-
tween Monastir and the Greek from.
tier, and the Servians still there must,
like the army of the north. retreat into
Albania when the pressure becomes
too strong.
