PREDICT ITALY
SOON IN BALKANS
Negotiations Going on as to
Basis on Which Such Action
Will be Taken.

LONDON. Oct 29.-The early par
ticipation OF Italy IN the Balkans is
forecast in dispatches received here
Thursday night from Rome.
Hope that Roumania too viii soon
take up arms in favor Of the quad
ripple entente is being abandoned,
following the receipt from Bucharest
OF an official statement denying the
declaration OF III. FilhpescC, the pollJ-
zeal leader. that the ROumanian army
IN due time Will draw the sword
against Germany. But on the other
hand. fear that Greece had lent an
ear to German representations that
she resent by force the landing OF
allied troops at Salonika was dlssi-
pated by the assurances Of AthOs RO-
manos. Greek minister at Paris, 10 the
French government that the reports
that Greece would demand the with
drawal OF the allied forces were un-
warranted.
The speculation as 70 the attitude
OF Greece had been prompted by mes
sages received here from Athens, one
OF which said:
Greece has replied to the British
note, according TO the Budapest news
paper Vilag and maintains her de-
mand that all troops landed at Sa-
a.
gone to the Serbian front, be reem-
barked without delay"
The newspaper was further quoted
as saying:
THE Greek government will regret
TO find Il necessary to disarm and in
tern by Greek armed forces the allies
now IN Greece, but is prepared TO en-
force it's demands and has taken
measures 10 insure the Greek COM
mander at Salonika has sufficient
troops"
In connection with this dispatch
two other messages were received.
one announced the abandonment by
King Constantine OF his proposed
visit TO Salonika and the other the re-
Enforcement OF the Greek armed
forces at that place.
Wants Greeks DemobiIized.
A Berlin radio message quoted a
dispatch To the Frankfurter Zeitung
from ConstantinOp pie as follows:
Reliable reports from Athens
state that former Premier Eenizelos is
carrying on a violent agitation for the
rehabilitation Of the Greek army,
maintaining that the mobilization re-
quires insuppOrtable sacrifices by the
people and involves the danger that
Greece will be led to NEEDLE in the
war.
I'm the case that this Machiavel-
1istic agitation causes the downfall Of
the ministry, King Constantine is
firmly resolved TO dissolve parlia-
ment"
limitations that Italy may soon
send troops TO the aid Of the Ser
bians are contained in a dispatch
from Rome which says that negOtia-
tions as TO the basis upon which such
action Will be taken have Deen con-
cluded. The dispatch adds that the
transportation Of Italian troops to
the new theater is about TO begin.
TO this information may be added
that the report from Paris to the eff
feet that the troops now employed
ON the Gallipoli peninsula will be
withdrawn and thrown into the new
zone
Violent agitation for intervention
in the war on the side OF the entente
is being carried on in Roumania, ac-
COrding t. all news reaching here,
but the government is said 20 be ut
terly irresponsible 10 this propaganda.
A Lausanne dispatch says that Pre-
mier BramianO has even been threat
ened with death unless Roums-nia
aids Serbia, the threat having been
made. it is reported. by the nfluen-
tial Deputy uiescO.
