OF last week that the entente allies
had determined TO compel Greece to
repudiate all hints that II might in

substantiated by the Inauguration OF
pacific blockade.
This measure is expected to elicit
an immediate declaration from the
Greek government clearly defining
its intentions.
Some dispatches from Athens go so far
as TO say this already has been attained
as result of Earl KItchener's confer
ence with King Constantine and the earl
received assurances OF a satisfactory ma
turc. The British government, however.
has not yet intimated that Greece has
compiled with the demands OF the allies.
Greece Is described as prey of conflict
Ing emotions--fear of tiermany. whose
military successes have brought the Bal
kan war theater nearer, and Its natural
sympathy for the cause OF the allies
debating opposite paths out OF It's present
difficult neutrality. Some Greek news
papers regard the blockading OF Greece
as a violation of international law.
For the time being military operations
In Serbia have been almost suspended.

PRESIDENTS DECISION ON
 NEW MEXICAN POLICY
Was Reached Last June-Conferene
 to Be Held Next Thursday.

 ~ Washiugton-Aug g. President Wilson's determination to seek the CO., operation of Central and South Ameri- can governments in restoring peace in Mexico was reached last June, when his appeal to the Mexican factionists to end the strife brought no results.
 The invitation to the ambassadors from Argentina, Brazil and Chile and the ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala to confer with Secre- tary Lansing on the problem was ex- tended June 30, while the statement to the Mexican people was issued June 2d. Announcement of the plan was held up until each of the diplomats had re- ceived the sanction of his government to participate in the conference, a step made necessary by the fact that the affairs of a third country-Medco- were to be reviewed
 The conference will be held at the state department next Thursday. It has been announced as an informal and confidential meeting.
 All details of President Wilson's s plan for settlement of the Mexican problem have not. it is reported, been communicated to the six southern gov- ernments, but their representatives who are to take part in the confeI- ence have been given in confidence a general outline of what is to be pro- posed by the Washington administra- ton. Prompt and determined action, 1t is declared, is the foundation of the presidents plan, which will be sub- mitted to the conference by Secretary Lansing.
 It is believed the first step proposed will be a final appeal to Mexican lead CTS to end hostilities and arrange for a restoration of constitutional govern ment by peaceful means. A time limit for compliance. it is thought, will be suggested.
