RUSSIANS ARE REFUSING THE
GERMANS; GERMANS FRONT
MOUNTAIN BARRIER J.
(By Associated Press. !

london, Nov. 13 13.-Uneasiness is
being shown by the allies over the
attitude OF Greece, and this is not
likely to be allayed by the news
that German military mission had
arrived in Athens. Paris official
circles don't believe that there is a
possibility of Greece changing her
position and distinctly favoring the
central powers. Such rumors became
so persistent, though, that the Greek
minister to France felt called upon
to assure the foreign Office that
Greece would adhere to her tradi-
tional friendship for France.
Progress in the Balkan campaign
Is slow. Serbia's allies are making
their presence felt along the Mace
donian frontier. The French are re-
ported within mile and a quarter
of Veles and have occupied several
villages on the right bank of the
Vardar. but the expected Serbo-
French junction before Rabuna Pass
has not yet been effected.
The Germans are experiencing
the most difficult phase of their
campaign in front of mountain
barrier which must be surmounted
before they can hope to completely
disorganize the Serbian army.
News from the eastern front
agrees that Hindenburg's situation
in the Riga district is extremely diff
fiCult. The Russians are continuing
their attacks between OLAF and Lake
Babit, and it is reported they are
forcing the Germans into the woods
and marshes.
