ALLIES TO FORCE
GREECE's HAND
Commercial Blockade OF Helle-

KITCHENER MADE IT PLAIN
Kitchener Firm With Constantine.
Tells King What Entente viii
Do Unless Demands Are
Conceded.

London.-The Entente Allies have
demanded that Greece either join with
them and fulfil her treaty obligations
to Serbia or demoblize. and to inn
press King Constantine that they mean
what they say the Allies have declared
a commercial blockade OF the Hell
lenic Empire according to dispatches
from Athens.
An Athens dispatch to the Times
says It is confirmed that the Entente
Powers have imposed restrictions on
Greek trade. The Allied fleets. It Is
added, have already begun searching
all steamers flying the Greek flag in
the Aegean and the Mediterranean.
It is certain that Lord Kitchener,
the British war secretary, who had an
hours audience, with the King Of
Greece and afterward saw Premier
Skouloudis, took a firm stand and told
them what the Allies could and would
do unless the demands were CON
ceded
The entente Allies will not permit
any delays, as the position Of the
Serbian armies makes any prolonga-
ton Of the present uncertainty inn
possible. Already the Serbians are
making what may be their last stand
before Monastir and also on the plains
Of Kossovo.
At Macedonian Gates.
The Bulgarians, II is true, are be-
ing held up by unfavorable weather
conditions, but they must be almost
at the gates Of the Macedonian capt.
tai by this time; while the Austro-
Germans and Bulgarians are SLOWLY
but surely pressing back the northern
army.
The Germans announce the capture
Of Novipazar, and are therefore on the
direct road to Mitrovitza, which has
been the Serbian capital since Nish
fell into the hands Of the Bulgarians.
Other armies are pressing in from
the north, the northwest, the north
east and the east, and even the Mon
tenegrins, who held their positions
for so long, are being forced back
OF the French and British troops in
the south, no news has been received.
Apparently they are only holding their
positions and can no longer hope to
be Of assistance to the Serbians, ex-
cept by keeping a large number Of
Bulgarians engaged. According to
German reports an effort will be made
by the French and British to save the
Serbians by sending troops through
Montenegro and Albania, but with
poor roads, It will take a long time
for them to reach the battlefield.

China Believed Favorable.

Chinas attitude has not yet develop.
ed, but in some quarters here the view
IS held that the Peking Government
is favorably inclined to the Entente
proposals, since the move would guar
antee the integrity Of China during the
present disturbed condition Of world
politics and safeguard her interests at
the peace conference
Just what advantages would lie to
Japan in acquiesclng in the proposal
are not clear, but It is suggested in
well-informed quarters that, by plac-
ing on a solid foundation the relations
between China and Japan, Japanese
commercial interests in China might
be immune from the possible disturb
ance which recurrent political friction
might bring about.
The feeling in China against Japan
has been growing on account Of the re-
cent negotiations, and the possibility
that a more friendly spirit might be
developed between the two Oriental
countries also is said to be factor in
behalf Of japanese approval of the
plan.
Secretary Lansing declined TO com.
ment on the situation, declaring that
whatever had been received by the
American Government on the subject
was confidential and could not be dis.

the proposal has been discussed with

The belief is general. however, that
Great Britain, on account Of the obliga.

ably has consulted the Toxic Govern
ment freely.
