London, November 1S.-The attitude of the estente allies toward Greece, from which country they are endeavor- ing to get definite guarantee for the safety of French. British and Servian troops. and the whole military policy in the near east, including the Dardan- ellcs, will, it is expected. be made clear before the end of the present week.
 The council at Paris in which British and French cabinet ministers took part, came to important decisions, and Earl Kitchener. looking over the ground in Gallipoli and in the Balkans, is to report on the best means of deal ing with the situation arising out of the Austro-German and Bulgarian successes in Servia and Greeces lean- ings toward the central powers.
 WOULD DROP CAMPAIGN
 It transpired today in the House of Lords that General Sir Charles Munro, recently appointed commander in chief In the Dardanelles, has given his opin- ion as to what should be the future policy with regard to the Gallipoli campaign and Lord Ribblesdale, who in- troduced the subject, said he under stood that the report of the general favored withdrawal. The Marquis of Lansdowne replied that the report and the evidence accompanying it was not considered Sufficient to enable the gov errment to come to a conclusion
 The statement hardly had been made when the war office issued an account of a successful British attack on the Turkish trenches on either side of the Krithia Nullah which led to the be- lief that Lord Kitchener, who is on the peninsula. and who went out after General Munro's report had been re- ceived, had decided to persist In the operations.
 Andrew Bonar Law, the colonial sec- retary, assured the House of Commons that the decision would be left to the military experts. and the question of the loss of prestige would have no ACTION AS TO GREECE As to Greece. 1t is reported in dis patches from Rome, that immediate action will be taken and no delay will DC tOlerateu. IL IS Salu tHdI tldly VIII take an important part in the forth coming developments The action natu- rally will depend upon the attitude King Constantine and his ministers as- sume toward the entente powers.
 The situation in Servia grows more serious. The Austro- German armies. with the Bulgarians on their left. are pushing southward, driving the in ferior Servian forces before them, while in the south the Bulgarians re- inforced by men and guns from Won Gallwitz's army, are pressing on to- ward Monastir from which town they are said to be only a few hours march
 There Is some uncertainty as to the Servians' line of retreat. Some dis patches say they are falling back on Monastir, where there are British rein forcements; others that they are re- treating on Ochrida, on the southern Albanian frontier.
 The French have inflicted a serious defeat on the Bulgarians on the Vardar river, and it Is unofficially reported that the British have had success on the Valandovo front.
 The big guns are continuing their lively bombardment in the west, while in the east there has been no change
