Kitchener Bound for Greece,
The report that Lord Kitchener, Sec
rstary for War, has been sent on m -
s;on 10 King Constantine, 70 whom ne
will offer new proposals, mas receive
no confirmation. but the coincidence OF
Ms departure with the Kings resolution
10 dissolve the Chamber makes the sup
posi,ion plausible. The report also
gsins interest from the announcement
from several sources that an Autro-
German mission mas already arrived a.

Is said to be receiving Populations from

pressure. is still. unmodited.
Official circles in Paris profess TO me-
Ieye there is no possibility Of Greece
changing her present attitude for one
distinctly favorable TO the Central
Powers. but rumors of some such step
being in contemplation became so per-
,istent that the Greek Minister 10
France felt called upon to visit the
Foreign Office to-day with assurances
Of Greece's continued adherence to her
"trsdi.. onal friendship for France.
Paris Press DistrIsts Greece.
The papers Of Paris to-day are more
oQ,spoken than they have been in the
past in their distrust of Greece. Al
though the recent dissolution Of the
Greek Parliament was expected, II ere
sted none the less a bad impression
among French observers, who declare
that the fact that King Constantine
tore up the Greek const tuition rather
than Join the Allies cannot be explained
away.
"Le Matin" insists that no economic
or financial aid be given the Skouloudis
government until more ample knowl-
edge Of the actual situation be OBJ
tame d. The paper states that NJ. ORA

Gabriel Hanotaux. in the Figaro.

Greece must choose one side or the

Exactly where they stand. They must
