Allies Withdraw All
Proffers to Bulgaria,
VenizelOS Asserts

ATHENS. Oct. b.-The Greek govern
ment has taken no steps to prevent the
landing of the Anglo-F French troops on
Greek soil or to check their march to-
ward Serbia. Premier Venizelos declared
today In response to a question put to
him in the chamber OF deputies.
He further emphasized the seriousness
OF the Balkan situation by stating that
the allies have withdrawn the proposals
for territorial concessions they made to
Bulgaria several months ago. There Will
be no further negotiations with the Bull
gars. Vcnizclos intimatcd, unless Gear
Ferdinand makes satisfactory reply
to the Russian ultimatum.
The prime ministers statement with
reference to the allied troo4> landing
was ELECTED bv a member of the opposi-
ton. who said alarm was felt In some
quarters over the arrival of the Anglo
French troops since Greece has not
abandoned her neutrality. yenizelos said
he could add nothing to his statement
because II was not to the interest of
the country to discuss certain delicate
matters at this time.

NO SIGN OF GERMAN
CRISIS, SAYS MASON
By J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Oct. 5.-1f the German
estimate Is correct. that the French
have suffered $780, 900 casualties in the
present western offensive and the Brit
ish have lost $1,000 then. unQuestion-
ably, the efforts to force the German
lines In Artois and Champagne must
be considered a failure.
The measure OF such successes az
the allies have just won in the west
is the casualty lists. A temporary
cessation of an attack tells nothing
vital by itself 1t would be quite nor
NAL for the allies to cense their Of
fcnsivc for a moment in order to con-
sclidate positions that have been won
and to prepare for new artillery
assault.
II. however. the brief gains have
been very costly to the assailants
there can be little expectation that
a renewal OF the offensive will be sue
ccssful. A loss OF nearly 100000 men
small areas that have been won IN
Champagne and Artois. Had this
number Of casualties carried the Brit
ish and the French within striking
German front. that fact would be full
justification for the slauGhter. Rut,
there Is no evidence that the German
line anywhere Is In critical condi-
ton because of last weeks attacks.
1t Is impossible to confirm the Ger
man estimate of the enemy's casual
ties Eventually the British casual
ties Will be issued from London but
France does not make public her
losses The capture OF the Hohen-
zollcrn redoubt from the british and
OF nearby positions from the French
suggest. however. that the allies must
have suffered very heavily, since suf-
'c!ent rserves were not Mt hand 10
hold these gains and to consolidate
them with the previously won front.
The growing delav IN opening a sec
ond artillery assault against tho Ger
man lines NAV also he an indication
that the allies losses have been very
heavy. Had there been full satisfaction
among the allies comma nders with
the result OF the first attack last
week. 1t Is highly probable a new
effort would now be under way.

BODY OF MOTHER
TAKEN TO CONVICT
Sing Sing Prisoner, Kept From
Funeral, Allowed to See
Remains.

OSSINING, Oct. 5.-For the first time
in the memory Of those now connected
with Sing Sing prison the body of the
mother OF a convict was brought to
this village so that he might see her
for the last time. Warden Osborne had
been refused permission to let the
prisoner. Richard Dugan. go to New
York. but 1t Is in the discretion OF the
warden to allow convicts to go to
Ossining under guard.
Up to last March the warden was au-
thorized to let convicts go to funerals
OF relatives when it seemed advisable
When the new rule was made he had
allowed four men to do so under guard
One of them went as far as Brooklyn
and nothing happened to cause the war
den to be sorry that he granted the
request. The warden was shorn of
authority to let convicts go to funerals
for no reason. as far as he knows, ex-
sept that the granting of such liberty
was not specifically permitted by the
prison regulations.
When Dugan's mother died Warden
Osborne was asked to let the man go
to New York for the funeral. but he
had to refuse. Then member OF the
Mutual Welfare League suggested that
the body be brought to Ossining on the
way to Boston: This was arranged
through an undertaken. The league
placed on the coffin when 1t arrived
and Dugan. in charge Of Principal
Keeper Dorner. went to the village. He
was allowed to remain with his
mothers body for short time. Then
he went back to prison.
