KING CONSTANTINE
MUST DETERMINE
COURSE At ONCE

Paris, Nov. is,---King Constantine
OF Greece will be given but little
more time In which to decide wheth-
er to east his lot with Germany or
with the allies,
Unless he openly allies himself on
the allies side in passive OF active
cooperation and gives desired assur-
ances that he will not intern any al
lied refugees. the allies will take
speedy action against him, 1t was
believed here today.
Not only is Constantine's present
attitude regarded as dangerous to the
allies campaign in the Balkans, but
there are disauieting reports of a
Graeco- -Bulgar agreement. together
with a possibility that Roumania also
viii join the central powers,
In these circumstances officials are
not inclined to temporixe, Delay and
uncertainty are merely hindering the
Balkan operations and II Greece re-
fuses to give the noa-interference
guarantees the allies plans and sue
cesses will be admittedly greatly
jeopardired. To prevent such an
outcome, strong pressure is being
brought to bear against King Con-
Fstantine, presumably with a threat
that action Of the most drastic sort
win follow any attempt to evade the
allies demands or to swing into the
Germanic alliance.

NOW NEAR DEFEAT

Athens, Nov. 19.-Allied troops
bravely tried today to distract the
Bulgars from their southeastern Ser
bian campaign. where they are
sweeping everything before them.
The French hurled strong groups
against the Bulgars on the vardar
river. Already they have been some
what successful, but 1t is feared here
that they are not numerous enough
to follow their advantage. They
have repeatedly requested that REIN
forcements be sent them. Numerous
forces were reported to he at Sal
onfki. but the problem OF getting
them to the scene Of the fighting in
time makes the situation dubious.
The vardar river contest is raging
desperately. The Bulgars have been
driven across the stream by French
artillery, which more than Offset the
question of numbers.
Meantime the British are still
hammering at Strumnitza in a stub
born battle.
/ While these struggles remain in
doubt, Serb refugees are streaming
over the Grecian boundary.
Throughout Serbia the defenders
forces are hard pressed. The central
powers and the Bulgars are sweeping
the defenders rapidly out and cap
turing them in fresh thousands daily.

Warrior ofsToday,

George Wharton Pepper said at q
luncheon at the Pittsburgh training
camp for officers:
THE methods OF warfare have
changed enormously In the past year.
The sword, for example. is no longer
carried. The sword has quite disap-
peared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne
about French chasseur who took a
German officer prisoner. The cha ..
boy, tyro. said to the officer:
Give up your sword"
But the officer shook his head and
answered:
i have no sword to give up. But
won't my vitriol spray, my Oil projec-
tor or my gas cylinder do as we'll?
