in Athens.
[By Cable 10 The Tribune. !


London, Nov. 25.-Greece has
yielded to the Allies. She has
agreed, says a Reuter- dispatch
from Athens, not to disarm any
forces that are driven over the bor-
der by the enemy, to give them lib
erty of action on Greek territory for
their own security and to accord
railway and telegraphic facilities. ?
The government makes reserves
only regarding a further examina-
tion of certain details.
This action follows quickly on the
presentation of joint note by the
Allies at Athens yesterday, asking
simply that Greece assure the safe
ty of the Allied troops If they are
compelled to retreat into Greek ter
ritory from Macedonia. The Cabi-
net met Immediately, and then the
decision to give such assurances was
reached.
Meanwhile, reports that Rumania
will throw in her lot with the Allies
have gained strength. "The Ruma-
nian government is desirous Of fol-
lowing the national policy, and soon {.
will intervene in the war on the side
Of the Entente Powers" Take
Jonescu, leader of the Liberal party
at Bucharest, is quoted by the Bu-
charest correspondent of the Geneva
Tribune.
Russians Ready to Aid.
NJ. Jonescu, according to this dis
patch, also said he had learned from
Petrograd that a strong Russian
force was ready near the Rumsnian
frontier to aid Rumania against
Austria and Bulgaria. The Ru-
manian Premier, NJ. Bratiano, In a
conversation regarding the relations
between Rumania and Russia, is
quoted as saying: "They are better
than ever before"
These developments have lent
new significance to reports in circu-
lation in Greece that Great Britain
and France are preparing for i'm
portant new efforts in the Balkans.
The "Hestia," Of Athens, pub
fishes an interview with the Serbian
War Minister, who said:
"The participation Of Italy meets
with difficulties, owing to the d.
vergence of views regarding Alba
MIA. Russia's intervention will be ef-
fected after the concentration OF the
Allied armies in the Balkans, and 1t
is expected that this will produce
change in Rumania's attitude.
81 can assure you that France and
England are preparing surprises IN
the Balkans"
Allied Note Friendly.
Athens. IL is reported, expected mose 2
s.r;ous demands and was somewnss
surprised by the moderate tone OF tne
AI,;o., rote. Reports Of an ultimatuin
have led the capital to believe more
stringent demands would be made, and
A.. rumor that Greece would be asked
N ioin the Allies or demobiiize had
gained much strength.
But the note was expressed In
friendly spirit and was general in char
scter. asking only the confirmation OF
assurances already given as to the
position of the Allies forces on Greek
soil and the earliest reply possible
under the circumstances. The tone OF
the document impressed the Greek
Cabinet.
"The Allies declaration that any
part Of the Greek territory occupied by
the Allies will be restored in due
course and any justifable indemnities
paid, has favorably impressed the
Greek government" says a Havas dis
patch from Athens. The situation is
developing so well that the Greek
steamers held up at Malta have been
released. Difficulties are no longer
placed on the transmission Of CONNER
cal cables"
Strong assurances that the Allied de-
mands would be granted were un-
doubtedly made to the Allies at least
two days ago. The British Foreign
Office denied on ruesasy that any
blockade of Greece had been instituted.
But reports to-day indicate that sons
,lockade measures had actually been
taken. and that these will now Do
abandoned.
