KING CONSTANTINE
DEF|ES War PARTY

London, Nov. liking Constantine
finally has thrown down the gauntlet
to the Greek war party.
Athens dispatches announce his dis.
solution of parliament. No details
are given further than an election has
been set for Dec. 10, but what led up
to his majesty's action was apparent.
When M. Souloudis, the kings lat.
est choice for neutral premier, took
ONCE, he began negotiations with ex.
Premier Venizelos. war leader in par.
lament, with view to inducing the
pro-war group at least to tolerate the
ministry. This was necessary because
the war party being in a majority
could have forced his retirement by
vote of lack of confidence whenever
they pleased. Venizelos evidently re.
fused.
In dissolving parliament for q fresh
referendum of the peace or war ques-
ton King Constantine deliberately did
what venizelos declared he had no
right to do, the question having been
settled in Venizelos' opinion in favor
of war by an election six months ago.

ALLIES UNEASY
ABOUT GREECE
Attitude Causing Worry in Lon

1EuToN PROGRESS IS SLOW
Ans'o-Frenoh Allies Of Serbia Begin.
ming to Make Their Presence Felt
AIcns Macedonian Frontier.

! London, Nov 14.-Uneasiness is be-
ing shown by the entente allied pow.
ers over the attitude of Greece and
this feeling is not likely to be allayed
by the latest news that German mil.
itary mission has arrived at Athens
by way of Bulgaria and Saloniki.
Official circles in Paris profess to
believe there is no possibility of
Greece changing her present attitude
for one distinctly favorable to the
central powers.
Progress in the Balkan campaign
is slow, with Serbia's allies beginning
to make their presence felt along the
Macedonian frontier. French troops
these are reported to be within mile
and quarter of the town of Veles
and to have occupied several villages
on the right bank of the vardar.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen, COM
handing the German invasion, is now
experiencing the most difficult phase
of his campaign in front of a noun
tain barrier, which he must surmount
before he can hope completely to dis
organize the Serbian army.
News from the Eastern front agrees
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
situation in the Riga district is be-
coming extremely difficult.
The Russians, continuing their at
tacks between OLAF and the west of
Lake Babit, are reported to be forcing
the Germans into the woods and
marshes, which greatly hamper the
movements of the Teutons.
In an effort to overcome these diff
ficulties the Germans are exerting
every energy to complete the rail-
roads which they'ar building to Cort-
land.
Along the Western front artillery
actions again have become the prom.
inent feature of the operations, but
no infantry activity is reported.
