! In Entente CAPITALS

&0WDoN, October 7-That the fore
ing Of the resignation Of Premier NJ
Venizslos by the King of Greece is a
victory for Germany Is admitted in the
capitals Of tine entente.
The Times says editorially today:
by overriding the policy of his ad-
materially to the gravity of the situa-
ton in Europe. That much is certain.
although the character and conse-
quences of the new position he has
created cannot yet be foreseen."
The Daily Mail says: The dismissal
of Premier Venizelos is another i'm
portant success for Germany. Once
more British diplomacy has been at
fault. 1t has neither foreseen nor pre-
pared. 1t has been outwitted by King
Ferdinand and it's prestige has suffer-
ed grievously, as a result of its err
rors and the remissness of the Brit
iSh minister.
The situation has to be faced that
100000 Bulgarian troops are ready to
900 Turkish troops not required at the
Dardanelles. and perhaps neutral
Greece and Serbia fully occupied with
meeting the German attack.
Situation Held Grave.
THE situation is as grave as well
could be. The hour has come for the
British government to break it's mex
plicable silence and tell the nation how
vast and imperious are its needs in
men,"
In an editorial this morning on the
Balkan situation the Morning Post
says:
THE German design is probably to
make Greece helpless by delay and dis
union. while Bulgaria is being pushed
forward to the betrayal of the Balkan
cause. But it remains to be seen
whether Greece and Bulgaria will sub
NIT, one to betray and the other to &C
quiesce in the betrayal of their ma
tional interests and sentiments. These
are forces which the Germans omit in
their reckoning. but they may, never
theless. prove more formidable than
the court intrigues and the ministerial
cabals"
LET us not look on and see the Balk-
an cause betrayed. as the Belgian ma
Morning Post. 1t contends that if
Great Britain uses her land and sea
forces with intelligence she might re-
create the Balkan League and defeat
stantinople.
Would Free Greece.
TN these times" the Morning. Post
adds, I'VE must not stand upon the or
der of our going. We have a right to
demand of the countries concerned that
they declare themselves either as
friends or foes. If Greece is helpless in
the hands of a faction let US use our
navy and army to free her from that
faction"
THE King Of Greece has the choice
of recalling Venizelos on his own
terms. or risking the gravest disaster
to his country and throne" says the
Daily News. THE duty of the allies
meanwhile is to do everything possible
to end an fntolerable situation. and the
obvious method Is to increase to the
maximum with all rapidity the army
already landed at Saloniki."
German View Of Situation.
BERLIN, via London, October THE
resignation of the Greek premier. NJ.
venizelos, is the subject CT much dis
cussion here. Rudolf Rothelt, foreign
editor of the Vossische Ze;tung, says:
king Constantine is determined to
keep Greece neutral He knows Ger
many's military power from his own
observation, and will not use the
Greek army to serve the entente
policy. nor chain Greece to the corps of
the quadruple entente"
The other papers interpret the Incl
dent in a similar way. The Kreuz
Zeitung reports that the Greek gem
eral staff shares the kings view.
