England Not Optimistic.
In view of the large range of possi-
bilities and the difficulty of predicting
with certainty any definite u%nraveling
OF the present snarl, Great Britain is
not lnduielng in premature optimism
over the defeat of the Zaimis cabinet
She is disposed to await further de-
Ve!opments before accepting the situ-
atlon as in n way Indicative of
Greeces intention to fight with Ser
bla against Bulgaria.
While. Of course. it was understood
that Eeutherious Venizelos, the former

Fear eulaar Aggression.
1t is not to be forgotten that King
Constantine was willing to follow the

point. and there are some Diplomats
here who believe that, assured of y
landing of very strong Anglo French
forces at Saloniki and Kavala. together
with a Russian army on the other side
OF Thrace. and the possible assistance
OF Rumania. the Greek king might be

people of that country favor the allies.
while the king and government wish to
maintain neutrality. at least until it
appears clear that the allies can win
the war. There have been Continued
demonstrations in Rumania in favor

heightened by the presence of a large
Russian force on the northeastern

II should have preferred not to drag
the kings name into the discussion. but
since you ask, / will say that in a con-

no place in the responsibility. 1t is
absurd to suppose that the king de-

state is a constitutional kingdom. or a
democracy presided over by a king and
the whole responsibility rests with the
