SAID GREECE AGREES
TO ALLIES DEMANDS

London Nov. 26--Greece has salts
fled the allies that there will be no
Greek interference with their Balkan
campaign under any circumstances
according to an Athens dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph company.
THE reply" says the Athens mes-
sage quoting official authority, is
friendly, meets the entente powers
demands and gives all guarantees that
are considered essential"
The required assurances are said TO
have been contained in communica-
tion handed by the Athens govern
ment to the allies diplomatic repre-
sentatives in answer to the joint note.
King Constantine has triumphed
however, in his determination to keep
his country neutral.
This, it is considered here, ends
the Greek crisis. 1t does not appear
that King Constantine agreed to de.
mobilize the Greek army He is
thought to have convinced the allies
that he wants the troops under arms
as precaution against a possible
Bulgarian attempt TO seize Greek as
well as Seryian Macedonia.
