\ Telegram from rome bears an
unconfirmed report that the Greek
cabinet has resigned If this proves
true political conditions in the Bal
kans may once more eclipse military
operations in interest.
From Bucharest it is reported that
the ROumanian cabinet is keenly
watching Greece and it is growing
more and more likely that these two
countries Will act in concert although
there is no treaty agreement between
them.
Meanwhile the Austro- German and
Bulgarian armies are exerting every
ounce of their strength to win a deci-
sive victory in order TO sway Greek
and ROumanian sentiment TO their
side.
Sofia officially announces the cap
ture of Negotin and Prohovo in the
extreme northeastern corner Of Ser
bia and Vienna states that Austrian
cavalry has reached Naljevo, so miles
southwest of Belgrade.
The allies are reported to have
asked the Serbian army 10 resist the
Teutonic and Bulgarian invaders for
only five more days by which time
England and France hope to have big
and powerful armies in Serbia. But
while the allies are sending men and
guns into southern Serbia the Ger
mans and Austrians are sending men

ing stream while the supply of big
guns which are rolling across the
Danube TO blast the mountain de-
