ed conference In Paris with Alex

the allied finance ministers. and that
Great Britain and France had come
to Russia's assistance with advances
which had been employed to, pay Rus
sia's debt coupons and 20 purchase
supplies. lie added that this policy
OF cooperation evidently must be con-
tinued. and that certain precautions
must be taken TO raise the rate OF ex-
change for the ruble and give Il sta
bility. An improvement in the ex-
change. he said. would facilitate i'm
portations into Russia which were OBJ

Athens never had much confidence,
in the Bulgarian assurances that Bull
garia's mobilization was quite inno-
cent. IL was asserted here today. and
the other capitals have now been
forced TO the same conclusion. There
is nothing to indicate the attitude of
Rumania. but II has always been taken
for granted that her friendship for
Italy and France assured her support
of the entente allies.
The question arises as TO what as
sistance the entente allies could give
Greece and Seryia. II is suggested
that an agreement be made with
Greece that for every soldier sent by
her to help Servia the allies would
land a soldier and equipment at Salo-
niki to protect Greek territory to the
south. and when the time came. to
march against Bulgaria. II is probar
BILE that this would be only one of the
steps taken against Bulgaria should
her attitude continue provocative,
which officials now consider Il TO be.
despite the fact that a large majority
OF the people in that country are be-
lieved TO be still to the entente allies,
particularly Russia and England.
