GREECE REFUSES
OFFER OF CYPRUS
DECLINES MILITARY AID TO AS
sIST IN MEETING BULGARIAN
AND GERMAN ATTACKS.
Hellenic Kingdoms Decision Not to
Join Allies Based Upon Ground
That Force Landed at SaIoniki
Is Unequal to Task.

London.-Greece has declined for
the present the allies offer to her of
Cyprus and other concessions, terri.
torial and financial, in return for her
adherence to the Serbo1Greek treaty
OF alliance, which would mean her
military aid to assist m meeting the
Bulgarian and AustroGerman attacks
against her former ally.
The reply OF Greece to the offer,
which reached the foreign office Fri
day night. is a lengthy one and while
1t has not been made public, there is
reason to believe that the Hellenic
kingdom bases it's decision not to
join the allies on the ground that the
Anglo-French force landed at Saloniki
Is not, in the Greek governments
opinion, strong enough for the task
allotted IL.
The refusal to accept the allies
offer was not unexpected. as 1t has
been often stated I'm official circles
that both Roumania and Greece were
Withholding their assistance until the
allies either won a decisive victory or
proved to the Greeks and Rouman-
ians their ability to do so, or until
operations had reached stage which
would assure them that their coun.
tries would not be overrun by the
forces of central powers or their
Turkish and Balkan allies.
There is no inclination here or in
the capitals of other members of the
quadruple entente powers to mini.
mize the seriousness of the situation
of Serbia The Austro-German and
Bulgarian campaign is developing
slowly, but the plans are now fairly
clear. The Austro- German center is
advancing down the Moraya valley
from Semendria, while the Bulgarians
have got across this valley to the
south and command the Belgrade
Nish-Saloniki railway. The Austro-
Germans have three other forces en-.
gagged, one in the northwest near
Shabataz, one at Belgrade, and the
third. which has not yet crossed tie
Danube, about Orsova.

Washington. tangled skein Of cir

beginning of series OF filibustering ex-

The departure of several seagoing

and the mysterious movements of sew.
eral American yachts in the Gulf OF

of the Washington government. who
are anxious to prevent violations OF

the tank steamers which carry oil from
Mexican ports for use OF the British

Officials have two theories as to the
meaning OF this series OF happenings.
One is that wealthy Mexicans in the
United States are financing filibus:er.

nections with the raids in the vicinity
Of Brownsville, Texas, and the other is
that small boats putting out from the
