Greece in Precarious Position

Greece has issued declaration of "ben-
evolent neutrality" The king continues
to permit the landing of allied troops at
Salonika, enroute to Serbia, but refuses
to place his armies in the field in their
support His policy is therefore ques-
toned by both sides. The allies are said

latitude toward the treaty with Serbia
for mutual defense, over which he and
Venizelos disagreed. At the same time,
the Bulgarian minister at Athens has
served notice that "Bulgaria's s favorable
opinion of Greece will no longer be justi-
fed, unless the latter changes her attitude
concerning recent events at Salonika. =

again sunk to an alarming level While,

Artillery and Infantry Fighting Continues
in West

The cannonade continues at many points
along the western front, and has been
especially severe in the Champagne region.
AS an instance of it's intensity, the CORES
pondent Of the Berlin Tageblatt estimates
that the French fired three million shells
recently, in brief period.
In an attack by German forces, on
Friday, around Loos, force of over co.
600 men was repulsed by the British, with
loss of from 1000 to 5000 men,
General reports of the week indicate
slight but steady gain by the allies at

English Press Resents Censorship

A portion of the English press is up in
arms over what is termed the "absurditles
Of the censorship.
The Daily Mail says
''We can state in a few words the
opinion to which we have been forced by
fifteen months Of experience with censor
ship Nothing has been done more to
lower our reputation abroad for honesty
and good sense and nothing has been done
more to delude our people at home to hide
from them the realities Of war"
1t is claimed that no journal has sup
ported the censorship with more loyal
patience than the Pail Mall Gazette. And
yet when the news Of Venizelos' resigna-
ton was withheld for hours after it was
known in Germany, France, and other
countries, the paper could no longer re-
strain it's Indignation
"Evidences Of abuse in the exercise of
power by that department, = it said, have
become too glaring to be ignored. The
legitimate function of the censorship is
to blind England s enemies, not England
herself. When it withholds from English
men what the enemy already knows, or
when it suppresses unpleasant news for
the sake of preserving an atmosphere of
false optimism, it is perfecting a com
bination Of insult and injury, which the
country has every right to resent. y

empire was counted upon to take care Of
this menace, and it has in a large degree.
But when Bulgaria opened gap in the
Balkans, she gave the food a channel
through which it could sweep, with pros
pect of decisive result The Dardanelles
and the Suez Canal are strategic points
Of vital moment to the allies, and in no
region are they less prepared for defense,
or at greater disadvantage, than in this
important new sphere of warfare.

He adds that Bulgaria "cannot accept re-
sponsibility for the FUTURE if there is not
a change.
1t is, therefore, evident that the position
of Greece is perilous
The Greek chamber was informed, on
October II, by Premier Zaimis, the sue
cessor Of former Premier Venizelos, that,
in order to better preserve the vital in
terest of Greece, her neutrality would for
the present be armed" He added that
the future course of the nation would be
shaped by events as they arose, and ex-
pressed the belief that the government s
course had the support Of the people
In reply to this, Venizelos arose in the
chamber and said:
No one would wish to create internal
difficulties in the country, in view of the
present extremely critical situation The
chamber will give it's support to the gov
ernment as long as the government s pol
icy does not alter the principles Of my
policy, upon which the chamber already
has given its vote.
''Even if there existed no treaty with
Serbia, our interest would oblige us to de-
part from neutrality, as another state
wishes to aggrandize itself at our expense.
"The question is not whether we ought
to make war or not, but when we ought to
enter the war In any case, we ought not
to allow Bulgaria to crush Serbia in order
that she then may attack us with all her
forces. The national soul says it is to the
interest of Greece that Bulgaria should be
crushed. If Bulgaria should triumph,

sister Of Kaiser Wilhelm) This may be

Influenced by their wives, and kings are

Another woman Of Europe who may be
"pulling wires" at the present time, is the
Queen of Sweden, who is Of German birth
and education, and of pronounced pro-
German sentiment. While the situation
Of Sweden is hardly considered dangerous
at present, if reports are true, the-country
is drifting, and the possibility of war with
England is considered rather grave. 1t
is said that the element favoring war is
small, but powerful in it's influence.
