 LONDON, Nov 22. - London has not yet received definite news of Greece's reply to the entente demands for guarantees of safety to Anglo-French troops landed at Saloniki, or for the Serbians who might be forced over the Greek frontier. An Athens dispatch says the Greek cabinet is disposed to accept the entente's conditions, except that requiring Greece to participate in the war. The solu- ton of the whole difficulty is ex- pected immediately. The block ade of Greek commerce has com menced. Italy is reported as par ticipating in it. This, with the news that the Serbians have won a victory over the Bulgarians northeast of Pristina, that the Bulgarians have delayed their march on Monastir and that the Teutons are hampered by the wintry weather, has created a more hopeful feeling in the en- tente capitals. The Italians by their continued offensive are strengthening their positions around Gorizia, which it is be- livered, cannot hold out much longer. Another hotilla of Brit ish submarines, it is reported, has arrived in the Baltic.

that the Slavs would abandon their
vague ambition to strike through Asia
Minor in the direction of India.
If the war ends with the Turks still
in possession of northern Persia It
will be as much to England's inter
ests as to Russia's to see that tho
peace conference buys the Turks off.
There is thus an added incentive now
to urge the allies on to Constanti-
nople.
It Is probable that the Turks have
teen assisted in their successful Per-
sian campaign by the Persians them
selves. While the Persian Mohamme
dams are not always on the friend
liest terms with their Turkish core
ligionists, undoubtedly they would
prefer Turkish suZerairty to the over
lordship of the Slavs. This circum-
stance, however, cannot mean that
the Persians, in any considerable
number have taken up arms to help
the Turks. Their assistance must
have been in the nature of moral sup
port. Otherwise the belligerercy OF
the Persians probably would have
spread to the south out of sympa-
thetic cooperation with the northern
movement England. at the present
time has only a small force of troops

The note addressed to Turkey by
the American government. requesting
protection for christians in northern
Persia, Is the first certain news that
the Russians have been forced to
abandon their Persian sphere Of infiu-
ence.
A short time ago Constantinople an
nounced that several OF Persia's
northern provinces had been occu-
pied by Turkish armies. This state
ment, however, was made so abruptly
that it was skeptically received. The
Turks have kept secret all their mill
tary movements in Persia and seem
Indifferent to the effect on the world
of announcing their victories
The present Turkish success is a
serious matter for Russia. 1t Is the
loss Of what in effect Is her only frn
porta1t colony While Persia is theo-
retically an independent country, the
actual sovereignty Of the Teheren
government is limited to the central
part Of the country. Russia and Eng
land a few years ago Jointly dismem
bered the rest Of the anarchic coun.
try. England took the southern area.
with its partial control Of the Per
sian gulf and Russia established her
self as the paramount power In the
northern provinces. The especial
value Of this agreement to England
was that 1t made Russia contented
and formed fairly safe guarantee
