London, Nov. 15.--An intimat1ou
from Greece that any allied troops
seeking refuge in Greek territory viii
be disarmed, has caused considerable
anxiety by the entente powers and
given new Importance to Earl
kitchenar's visit to the near east. Be-
lated Athens dispatches today say
Greece bases her contention on in
ternational law, while the allies claim
permission for troops TO land at Sa-
loniki entities them to retire through
the same route.
The allies are demanding an un-
equivocaI statement Of Greece's atti-
tude tn this connection. The allies
also claim that former Premier Vent
xelos requested that troops be sent
to Saloniki to aid Greece to fulfil her
treaty obligations to Serbia, which
later Greece repudiated.
The allies also are likely to remind
Greece that the constitutionalism Of
her government was guaranteed by
France, Russia and Great Britain and
the allies may contend that King Con-
stantine overruled the constitution
wher he dissolved the Venizefos cab
met. It Is suggested in some quar-
ters that King Constantine VIII be=rs-
minded that his retention of the
throne depends upon a continuance Of
neutrality toward the allies.
The Germans on the other hand are
declared to be assuring Greece Of
their protection should she support
the central powers and that to do this
they are despatching submarines to
the Mediterranean which could resist
any allied fleet attacking the Greek
ports.
The venizelos party m Greece,
which favors the allied cause, may
not take part in the coming elections,
according TO despatch from Athens
to Paris, as former Premier Venice
los thinks that even should the liber-
ais win, they would be unable to car
ry through their program in the
chamber. Definite decision is expect
ed in q few days.

tinues abated. with the Austro-Cer-
mans claiming they are still advanc-
ing and the Serbians fighting desper-
ately In the mountain passes. In

have captured three hundred metres
Of French trenches near Ecurie, while
the French announce they repulset
the German attacks against Laby-
rinth, in Artois, and also IN Cham
payne, hard fighting also continues
on the Russian and on the italian
fronts.
Winston Spencer Churchill, lately
resigned from the cabinet, today de-
Tended his acts for which he had
been approached. saying in the house
Of commons that the loss Of Rear Ad-
miral Cradock's the destruction Of
Aboukir, Hogue and Greasy, the dis
astrous Antwerp expedition and the
Dardanelles campaign, for all Of
which he had been blamed. were IN
dertaken only after the plans had
been eoncurred IN by the proper gov
