London. Nov 15 dispatch from
Milan says that the "Corriere della
Sera" reports that Earl Kitchener. the
British War Secretary. has arrived at
Mudros, on the Island OF Lemnos, in
the Egean Sea.
Lemnos is Greek island about 1870
miles southeast Of Salonica and about
forty miles from the Gallipoli Penir-
sula, and Mudros is being used as a
base for the operations in both the
Dardanelles and the Balkans.
The intimation of the Greek govern
ment that any Entente Allied troop
seeking refuge in Greek territory will
be disarmed has been the cause of con-
siderable anxiety to the Entente now
ers, and consequently Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener's Near East visit gains
added Importance.
Besides the claims to hospitality
which the Entente Allies declare they
have on Greece in view of ex-
Premier Venizelos's invitation to them
to send a force to Salonica to enable
, Greece TO fulfil her treaty obligations
| to Serbia. which, however, Greece re
pudiated, Earl Kitchener or the En-
tente ministers are likely TO draw tbs
attention of King Constantine and his
government to the fact that the con-
! sttutionalism of Greece was guarar-
! teed by France, Russia and Great
! Britain, and that it was only obtained
| after Great Britain had ceded the
| Ioniaa Islands TO that country and the
three powers had agreed to contribute
$50, 900 yearly for the personal use OF
the King.
This, II is contended, binds the Greek
people 10 the Entente Allies, and
should King Constantine overrule the
constitution, which the followers OF
| VI. Venizelos insist he did when he dis.
solved the Chamber, il is suggested
| in some quarters that King Constan-
tine would be reminded that his 70
tention Of the throne of Greece de-
pends on the continuance of friendly
neutrality toward the Entente powers.
Teutons Promise Support.
The Germans, on the other hard, are
declared to be assuring the Greek gov
ernment that Greece will be protected
against the Entente Allies should that
country support the Central Powers.
and that as evidence of the ability OF
Austria and Germany TO do this they
are dspatching more submarines 10
the Mediterranean, which could be use1
against any feet threatening GreeK
ports.
The mission of Earl Kitchener
to King Constantine OF Greece mas
evoked considerable comment In the
London newspapers. They almost uhan-
imously agree that Great Britain mas
taken the best possible means OF brihg-
ing Greece 10 a definite decision as 10
the role she is to play In the balkan
conflict. and ending once and for all the
uncertainty and uneasiness whlch nave
followed in the wake of what are al
luded to as Greece's political and con,
stitutional vagaries. The ran Mali
Gazette" voicing what appears TO De
the general view, says:
Confidence in Kitchener.
at seems probable that Earl Kitch-
ener has gone out armed with full pow
ers to bring this tortuous ruler face to
face with distinctive alternatives. lie
has long enough been permitted to en-
iov the immunties of a neutral while
EMPLOYING every sleight- t-of-hand to
make worse the position OF the Entente
Powers. The assurances OF friendship
rendered By his latest Cabinet are not
worth the paper or the breath that
conveys them. in view of the gross
treachery that has been perpetrated
toward Serbia.
Earl Kitchener has encountered this
truly Byzantine type Of character n
other regions. and should understand
how TO bring it to reckoning. Earl
Kitchener's mission has completely
steadied feeling in the Allied nations
