It is not yet clear, judging from

grad, have been limiting lately that
vital operations might we'll be ex.

Messages from the Russian capital

Silesia alone would serve as the de-

been predicting another brilliant &C

may be part of the great battle
which Petrograd says is now under

gain by either side.
There is no late news of the situa-

Athens, March 9.-The early par
ucipation of Greece in the war on the
side of the allies is regarded as GER
tainty here.
Every roar from the guns Of the al
lied fleet at the Dardanelles has its
echo in a fresh war demonstration on
the part Of the Athens populace.
Public opinion is overwhelmingly
behind former Premier Venizelos since
his resignation Saturday night. 1t is
not believed Zaimis, the new premier,
will be able to form cabinet strong
enough to maintain Greece's neutral
ity in the face of a growing demand
for war.
