London, Nov. Is. 1000 p. m.-The in
timation of the Greek government that
any entente allied troops seeking
refuge in Greek territory will be dis
armed has been the cause of consider
able anxiety to the entente powers
and consequently Field Marshal Earl
Kitcheners Near East visit gains add
ed importance.
According to belated dispatches re-
ceived from Athens, Greece bases her
decision on international law, while
the entente ministers contended that
the right accorded the troops to enter
the country through Saloniki permits
them to} retire by the same route,
should 1t become necessary for them
to do so. The ministers are demand
ing that Greece unequivocally define
the attitude she would observe should
such an event ultimately present it

stikutionalism Of Greece was guaran-
teed by, France. Russia and Great
Britain and that it was obtained only

king.
This, .st is contended, binds the
Greek people to the entente allies and
should King Constantine cverrtlle the
Constitution, which the followers of

dissolved the chamber, it is suggested
III some quarters that King Constan-
tine would be reminded that his re-
tention tof the throne of Greece de-
pends on the continuance Of friendly
neutrality towards the entente powers.
Germans Reassure Greece.
The Germans, on the other hand, are
declared to be assuring the Greek
government that Greece will be pro-
tected aginst the entente allies should
that country support the central pow
ers and that as evidence of the abili-
ty Of AustrSa and Germany to do this,
they are dispatching more subma-
rines to the Mediterranean which
