 LONDON. Nov. ss.-No definite news has been received here of Greece's reply to the entente allies demands for guarantees for safety of the Anglo French forces landed at Saloniki or for that of the Serbians Vaso might be forced over the Greek frontier. One despatch from Athens however. says that the creek eabi- net is disposed 10 accept the condi- tians laid down by the entente rorf- CTS. except that condition requiring Greece to participate in the war. and that a solution of the whole difficult tv may he expected immediately
 Meanwhile the blockade of Greek commerce has commenced anu Italy, it is reported. is proceeding in the measures of restraint decided upon This. with the news that the Ser hisns have won a victory over the R,slgarians northeast of Pristina, that the Bulgarians have delayed their march on Monastir and that the Aus tro-Germans are laboring unGer diff faculties as a result of the wintry weather. has created a more hopeful feeling in the capitols of the entente allies. The British and French forces daily are being strengthened by men and guns landed at Saloniki, and part of the endorsements is being sent to Monastil. where the Serbians also are reported to be con- centrating and threatening the Bull garians at Prilepe.
 Rumania finds herself in much the same position as Greece. with both the entente allies and the Gen. upon her. The Germans are asking Rurnania to give assurances of her. continued neutrality and also are venes in the war on the side of the Teutonic allies. With big Russian army in Bessarabia. however. it is believed fin military circles here. hardly likely that Rumania will ac- eept the second alternative. On the whole it is expected that the firm at titude of the entente powers toward Greece will clear the Balkan situation before very long,
 There is little news of importance from any of the other fronts. The Italians. by their continued offensive, are strengthening their positions around Gorizia. which it is believed cannot hold out much longer. on The western front the British and French artillery has become more ae- tive in Flanders and Champagne,

 A dispatch received here from the representative of the British press at Salaniki. dated Sunday says:
 The only troops of the entente allied forces which have thus far been in action in this war theater are the French. General Sarrail, commander of the French forces. on arriving at the, scene of operations. took up the task with great energy
 without waiting for his whole force to be transported up country he boldly attacked the enemy with the purpose of effecting a junction with the Serbian forces holding Ba- bslna pass. At one moment this function was within ten miles of be- ing made. Then the Serbian army feu back before superior numbers and drew out of reach of the French
 Responsibility for the failure to effect the junction rests neither with the French nor the Serbians but rather upon q number of circum- stances of which not the least was the difficulty of transport over single track. i'll equipped line of rail- way which runs 2 crooked course from Saloniki with grass often grow ing between the rails
 As soon as the Serbians drew hack from the Babuna pass, the ob- iective of the French offensive dis appeared and they have been con tent since that time with defending their positions"
