.ING CONSTANTINE
IN WARNS HIS COUNTRY

Grill last night, when shown the des.
patch from Athens. "And see this. -
Mr.. Detor produced a Greek news.
paper published in New York, the At,
Iantis, containing a synopsis by cable
Of King Constantine s speech to the
boule (parliamehD when that body as
sembled August 3 for organization.
The English dispatches received here
have not reported the King g speech,
which was nothing short Of epoch
making. In substance, this is what
the King said: ..&.
Gan the signs Indicate that tn.
hour approaches in which Greece must
prepare to go to the defense of her
friend and ally Serbia. Bulgaria is ne
gotiating simultaneously with Turkey
and the Teutonic allies on one side and
with the Powers of the Entente On
the other. We know the nature of tho
Bulgarian ambitions. We know thar
Serbia and Greece never can allow
them to be fulfilled.
War Is Only Conclusion
Ono prudent Greek could regard the
Willingness of Turkey to cede to her
ancient enemy Bulgaria an important
division of the Berlin to Bagdad raIi-
way as other than an ominous por.
tent
Coming from a sovereign whose rf-
fort from the first has been to keep
Greece out of the war;" said Mr.. De
tor, "sueh a speech from the throne M
that cannot be taken too seriously.
II seems to-. indicate beyond question
that Greece will soon plunge into the
war on the side of the Allies.
1.-THE attitude of Bulgaria is clear,
" defined in an authorized interview
with NJ. RadoslavofT, the Bulgarian
premier, published in Az Est, news,
paper of Budapest, in which the prime
minister replies to the suggestion or
the correspondent that it was strange
Bulgaria should be negotiating witt:
two groups of powers simultaneously.
"'It is these Negotiations replied
M. Radislavoff, that give us a chance
TO make our decision. Our country
seeks only her own advantages and
wishes to realize her rights. We have
decided to gain these in any case.
Serbs and Greeks With Allies
I" The only question to be settled Is
how can we attain our aim with the
least sacrificed As regards the in,
ternal situation of Bulgaria, l may
proudly say that our conditions have
improved and that everybody in the
country looks forward to the great ma
tional undertaking we are about to
embark on with immense Joy and en-
thusiasm.'
"What else can that mean, except
that Bulgaria is going to war2" asked
Mr.. Detor.
"And if Bulgaria goes 70 war, You
NAV take it is an axiom that Serbia
and Greece will be on the other site
1t is incOnceivable that Greece anil
Bulgaria should be al les, after the
deep hatred left by the second Balkan
war.
"NO bloodier, bitterer war ever was
Ought. I'nspeakable atrocities W. g
~'crpctrated by the Bulgars and the in.

prisoners were killed in cold blood.
Such Memories Ranl1le'
"Such memories rankle. 1t must be
many, many years before Greece and
Bulgaria could be allies in any under.
taking, certainly not at time like this
when the world is filled with suspicious
and misgivings. No, if Bulgaria is go

Greece will be at her side"
Mr.. Detor explained the "advant

She seeks TO insert between Serbia and

OF late, the Allies have been trying
