+ m Il e r
Grecian Situation skouloudis,
Now Is Peculiar One. APPOINTED appoint 1 to
mis-. announced that a policy of neu-
tralfty friendly to the allies would be
maintained by his regime. This was
strenStheaed by the announcement
that a loan of $s.000,0OO had been made
to the Athens government by France
and England. On the other hand,
Athens newspapers declare that an
agreement has been reached between
Bulgaria and Greece whereby Bulgaria
has agreed not to violate Greek soil
on the promise of Greece that she will
not enter the war. Turkey and Bull
garia are on the eve of demanding that
Greece Immediately take steps to re-
sent the violation of Greek neutrality
by. the landing of allied troops at
SaIonikt. 1t is further said that Pre-
m1er Skouloudis has promised them to
take up the matter seriously.
1t would appear that in the light
OF these announcements the present
Greek premier is attempting to carry
water upon both shoulders. BY some
experts on the European situation it
Is declared he simply is playing for
time in order that the Balkan situa-
tion may be better cleared up before
placing his government on one side of
the fence or the other. London an
| nounces that Greek leaders there and
elsewhere openly claim that just as
soon as the allies land sufficient forces
in the Balkans to protect Greek inter-
ests the government at Athens Will
throw its military strength with the
allies. This is purely a matter Of con-
,, lecture.
The announcement that the Russians
have ascended the Danube and landed
force of men and guns at Silistria
has been interpreted that Rumana has
given or is about to give her open con-
sent to the transport of Russian troops
j over her territory to Bulgaria.
