French Subscribers Not
Yet Borrowing or Draw

BALKAN QUESTIONS.
CAUSE NO WORRIES
What Greece Will Do Still Unde-

Without Fighting.

lBy Cable 70 The Tribune
Paris, Dec. 6.-Subscriptions TO
the loan of victory" continue at
high mark without subscribers yet
having begun to borrow at the bank
on their stock, while neither do cur
rent accounts and deposits at the
bank show that they are being
drawn on. On the contrary, depcs-
its in bank increased from $685.
100000 on November % to S517,-
100000 on December 2.
Balkan questions do not worry
subscribers to the loan. Every one
knows how Bulgaria played with the
Allies and secured $270,000,000 in
gold and s500,OOO,OOO in material
from Germany, but still subscrip-
tions TO the "loan Of victory" go on.
What Greece will do Is still unde-
cided. In Denys Cochin we sent a
good friend Of the Greeks to Athens.
He was received enthusiastically by
the population, in a friendly manner
by the King, and with considerable
constraint by the Queen, who is a
sister of the Kaiser. M. Cochin had
a great personal success. but the
King of Greece rejoiced at the de-
feat of the Serbs, while the Queen
waits impatiently for the time when
the Greek army will be invited to
Join forces with the Germans, Bull
gars and Turks.
AS to the Greek people, they would
like to gain something by the fight
ing of others without joining in
themselves. One recalls that it was
the treaties of 1927 and 1880, i'm
posed on Turkey by France, Eng
land and Russia, that made Greece,
and it was the protocol Of London
in 1863 that gave the Greek crown
to the father of the present King Of
Greece, who was Dane.
Constantine also forgets that it
was the same three powers who kept
his crown on his head in 1897, when
Greece had to call on her old friends
to help her out after Turkey had
defeated her in war. Turkey was TO
evacuate Thessaly after Greece paid
an indemnity of $20,000,000, but
Greece had no money, and England,
France and Russia gave collective
guarantee for a Greek loan of s25,-
100000 at 2lh per cent. 1t was not
the credit of Greece that enabled her
to raise money at less than per
cent. At that time the brother Of
the Queen Of Greece refused to help
Greece by subscribing to the loan.
So be it. On the day when the
Allies divide up the Ottoman Empire
Greece's share will be IN accordance
with what she has done in the war.
