FLAYs ENTENTE POWERS
Greek Premier Says Allies Have
Angered His People.

London, Dec. 29.-The Daily Chro
nicle's Athens correspondent under
date of Sunday sends an interview
with the Greek premier, NJ. Skoulou
dis, involving the strongest criticism
of the diplomacy of the quadruple en-
tente powers in the Balkans The
Greek premier complained bitterly
that his country had been maligned
and his government attacked
But NJ Skouloudis is quoted as
having said, the fault was not ours.
We tried to play the game, as you
English say, and if we failed it is the
entente, not we, who are responsible.
Declaring with emotion that he had
earnestly tried to see eye to eye with
the entente powers and 10 avert blood
shed in Macedonia, NJ. Skouloudis
said.
The allies have fiouted and anger
ed Greece, instead of pacating her.
instead of dealing openly with us they
coquetted with Bulgaria, while treat
ing us disdainfully. The result is
that they have fallen between two
stools. II the allies had come forth
frankly to Greece and asked her aid
and told her that she could count on
a clearly defined recompense at the
end Of the struggle, ! affirm that
Greece would moi have hesitated for
single moment.
Instead OF this England and
France began by demanding sacrifices
from Greece. We were asked to CO.
operate in the Dardanel!es, and at
the same time to relinquish Kayala
and Seres to our bitterest foes: to
give up, in fact, our richest provinces
which had been won by Greek blood.
I'VE were free to shed our blood in
an attempt to force the Dardaneiles,
but we were warned that on no ac-
count must we dream of marching TO
Constantinople in the event of an al
lied success. In fact, it was express
ly forbidden in the event of our sue.

Remarking that the Greeks had not

aims noble labors in the past in be-
half Of Greece. Premier Skouloudis
continued:
You have bullied us and we turned
the other cheek mcomplainingly We
honestly sought to aid you, and prof
fered you aid which you rejected
Stating that the Greek start had OF
fered a plan by which the Dardanel-
les might have been forced but that
the allies refused the advice, Premier
Skouloudis contended that in allow
ing the entente allies to come to Sa-
loniki Greece had gone to the utmost
limits OF friendship. but mad been
treated with such humiliation in

The storm OF Saturday night and
Sunday morning was severe for few
hours. but the hard part was so short

Sunday morning at several points and
the highway was under water on the
fats. Billy Seatons house was ex-
posed but withstood the food. The
storm was typical southeaster
which are ordinarily the most violent
in this section.
Shortly after s. o'clock Sunday
morning the wind veered to the north
east and gradually around to the
northwest and the rain changed to
hail and then TO snow For about two
hours the snow and gale made bluff
at q big storm. but toward noon the
Weather cleared Not over three in
ches OF snow fell, but the wind drifted
