mis- again places on the King the re-
sponsibility of deciding the future pols
icy Of his country. In London the first
impression was that the defeat OF the
government would mean the immedi'
ate recall of NJ. VeniZelos and the ful-
iilineiit of the original agreement be-
tween him and the Allied Powers to go
to the assistance of Serbia.
In this belief. the news caused

Later dispatches from Athens, how

taken it would be at least two months

Even should NJ. Venizelos be called

Position Of Rumania
Rumania is in somewhat the same
position as Greece. A ma jority of the

Having checked the German often

cept directly west of Riga where the
nature of the ground makes an ad-
vance difficult. the Russians have
started Il counter-offensive at three
poi:ts-west of Dvinsk, on the Styr in
N'o'hynia. and on the Stripa river in
Galicia. on the Stripa they claim to
have won big victory and to have
captured 5000 prisoners, although ad-
hitting that the battle is still in pro-
-.ess. They claim successes also at
other points.
The Germans on their side assert
that all the attacks have been repuls-
ed with heavy losses to the Russians

From an unofficial source it is also re-

A straight scent fare Is charged
