GREECE TURNS DOWN
Offer OF ALLIES
DOES NOT SEE ITS WAY cLEAR
TO ACCEPT PROPOSALS TO
ENTER PRESENT WAR.

London.-The Greek government
has informed the quadruple entente
powers that it does not see its waJ
clear at present to accept the propos-
ais, including the cession OF Cyprus
and other concessions, offered in re-
turn for Greek military cooperation
with Seryia.
While Greece's refusal is definite so
far as the present is concerned, Lon
don commentators feel that a material
strengthening of the entente allie1
contingent at Saloniki would have a
material influence on the attitude
even of the Greek government OBJ
servers here believe, too, that Greece
cannot persist in her present ambigu-
Gus position and that Greek public
opinion probably will exercise its in
fuence.
Greece's reply TO the offer, which
reached the foreign Office is lengthy,
snd while it has not been made pub
lie, there is reason to believe the Hell
lenic kingdom bases its decision On
the ground that the Angio-Frencn
force landed at Saloniki is not, in the
Greek governments opinion, strong
enough for the task allotted it.
The refusal of the allies offer was
not unexpected, as it has been stated
often in otricial circles that both Rou
mania and Greece were withholding
their assistance until the allies either
won a decisive victory or proved II
the Greeks and Roumanians their abil
ity to do so, or until the operations
had reached q stage which would as
sure them their countries would no
be overrun by forces of the centra
|, powers or their Turkish and Balkan
allies
