Some fires were caused, but the

London.-London's chief interest in
the war centered Monday in the diplo-
matte negotiations in the Balkans,
where the crisis has not yet been
reached.
The most significant news concern
ing the near Eastern situation was
contained in brief dispatch from Ath-
ems stating that former premier Veni-
zelos had won a decisive victory over
the government in the organization of
the Greek Chamber of Deputies. Zav-
itzatnos was elected president, and the
Grunaris government resigned.
The parliaments of Serbia and
Greece met, and important develop
ments are expected. Capitals of the
entente alliance hope for a speedy
agreement among the Balkan powers
by which their concerted aid may be
given the allied cause, but predictions
of quick action to this end are lack
ing.
