Another Conference.
ATHENS, Nov. 23.-Another con-
ference has been arranged between
King Constantine and Denis Cochin,
special French ennissary in Greece, 1t
was announced today. Cochin has
personally looked over the military
situation at Salonika, conferred there
with the Serb war minister and is
armed with fresh arguments why it
will be hopeless for Constantine to
attempt to resist the allies demands.
It has been made clear to the Greek
government again that the entente
powers do not insist on armed aid
from Greece In their Balkan campaign,
but that they peremptorily require
assurance Of a hands-off policy by the
Greeks, no matter how the Balkan
fighting may develop.

force for mountain warfare now under
arms in Europe. Neither the Ger
mans nor the Austro-H o-Hungarians can
anord to waste men by batting the
Serbs. At the same time the contin.
,ued pressure of large force from
the Orient railway is highly undesir'
able from the standpoint Of teutonic
strategy. AS long as the Serbians re-
main in their mountains and are sup
piled with munitions, the teutons must
remain an army Of occupation in
Serbia which is not needed elsewhere.
1t would not require very hard pres
sure by the Anglo-French troops at
any of several points in the Balkan
battle area to release the Serbs, un-
less large teutonic reserves are per.
imanently quartered in the district
west of Nish.
The difficulty Of disclosing the Serbs,
therefore, is we'll proportioned to the
dangers of having them in possession
of their mountain positions. Serbia,
as vet, in fact. is far from being per-
manently conquered. If the Franco
british expedition in the Balkans be
largely increased-and this may occur
at any time-the surviving Serb army
may yet march back into Nish with
flags flying.
