Paris, Nov. 1G.-Greece has refused
demands which the allies insisted are
essential to their safety, diplomatic Of
ficias admitted today. Moreover, the
allies are prepared to force compliance
with these demands, while the central
powers will help King Constantine to
resist.
Allied diplomats insist that, inasmuch
as former Premier Venizelos counten-
anced, and, in fact, invited landing of
allied troops at Salonika, Greece has no
right to threaten, as she has, that the
allies, if forced to flee to Greece for
after Balkan reverses, will be interned.
If necessary, the allies fleets will
be sent to Greece to insure non-interfer-
ence by Greece with the Balkan plans,
and, it is limited, King Constantine may
he uncrowned. AT the same time, the
fleet is distinctly likely to meet strong
resistance from Austro.G German under
sea boats, known to be heading for the
Grecian vicinity.
Meantime, the allies are bringing
pressure to bear upon the king to force
him to alter his attitude. He is being
strongly reminded of his ties to the
entente powers, and it is hoped in the
allied capitals that he will not defy
these warnings Germany, however, is
trying to persuade Constantine that he
will be protected if he joins the German
forces.

KITCHENER'S MISSION
IS NOW APPARENT
Sent to Greece In Final Effort
To influence King Con-
stantine's Course
By ]. W. T. Mason.

written for the United Press,)
New York, Nov. 16.-A sudden and
unexpected development in the Balkans,
to which Premier Asquith mysterious
ly attributed Earl Kitchener's trip, has
been revealed as King Constantine's re-
solve to intern the allies if they re-
tire to Greece from the Balkan fronts.
While Greece consented to the land
ings of allied forces at Salonika, she
does not want Greece to become bat
tlefield. Apparently she has notified
the belligerents that if they carried
the fighting into Greece, they would
be interned.
The situation thus developed is the
result of unprincipled men trying TO run
alternately with the hare and the
hounds. Greece at first desired the al
lies presence because she feared a
Bulgarian attack. Yet now she wants
to keep out of war. Hence, both she
and the allies find themselves in a
dilemma.
Until doubts as to the benevolence
of Greece are cleared away. Great dan
ger will attend the development of any
major offensive in the Balkans with
Greece as permanent base.
The allies cannot well force opera
tiOns on q big scale, running at the
same time the chance of reverses which
would turn them back to Greece and
at the same time face the risk that, in
so turning, they would be interned.

Denys Cochin, of the French cabinet,
and Earl kitchener, now in the Island
of Yemnos, supposedly the allies near
eastern naval base, will see the king
soon.
The allies are convinced that the ma
iority of Greeks favor the allies and
honestly want to help Serbia against
Bulgaria. At the same time, COnstan
tine is pro-German.
The entente powers had asked that
he at least guarantee to give them q
free hand in the Balkans. In answer
however, he gave no promise. The al
lies are under the impression that he
actually intends to intern any Of the
invaders who may be driven out of Ser
bia and Bulgaria into Greece. The pow
ers feel that this course is unreasOn
able in view of the fact that the expedi
ton was undertaken at Venizelos invi
tation. They argue that, inasmuch al
they have been permitted to 60 t.
Serbia via Salonika, they should be per
mitted to use the same route out if cir
cumstances compel.

DEADLY FIGHT WITH
CALIFORNIA BANDITS
Two Saloon HOId-Up Men
Pursued By Posse Of San
Jose Officers

San Jose, Cal, Nov. 16.-Two un.
known men, who early today held up
the bar of the Swiss American hotel,
robbing four patrons and the till, were
overetaken by a posse at Mountain
View, l2 miles from here, and in an en-.
suing battle one Of the bandits was
killed and the other wounded by a
charge of buckshot in the leg
None of the officers was killed, al
though the robbers fired dozen shots
from automatic pistols. The wounded
man who was brought here by train
refused to divulge his identity, but
said he was San Francisco tailor, and
that the dead man was his partner.
Both men were well dressed, but no
marks which would lead to an identifi-
cation were found on their clothing.
After robbing the bar, the bandits
are believed to have hidden in the To-
cal freight yards until a freight pulled
out. They then commandeered it at the
point of pistols. Conductor j. o. Phelps
dropped off unseen few minutes later
and notified the local police.
The sheriff, organizing a posse, start
ed out to head off the train at Noun
tain View. Travelling in automobiles at
the rate of go miles an hour, they ar
rived at Mountain View Just few
minutes ahead of the train. AS the
freight slowed down, the officers threw
seaIchlights on the bandits, who were
entrenched in a pile Of machinery on d
flat car.
The bandits answered the command
| to surrender with a rain Of lead. The
elder Of the two men was struck down
with charge Of buckshot and thre,
pistol bullets aftetr he had fired severa
wild shots at the posse. One of the
bullets carried away his trigger finger
When the posse reached him he wa,
dead.
The other bandit leaped from the ca
as he saw his partner fall. A charg,
Of buckshot struck him as he landed OF
the ground, but he continued to fir
as he ran, dropping so yards from tn,
train.

The local posse, augmented by Con
stable Peterson and Town Marshal But
Ter, were grouped together less than q
feet from the car when the bandit
opened fire, but escaped injury.

Petrograd, Nov. IS. - Vigorously

New York, Nov. 16.-officials had

tioning yesterday of Robert Fay, con-
fessed bomb plotter. 1t was admittedly
disappointing. 1t did not lead to any
high German or Austrian diplomatic or
consular officials as fellow plotters
nor did it divulge any "higher ups" as
financial hackers of Fay's plan tO
destroy munitions ships, bound for the
allies.
Fay, however, stands ready to plead
guilty and to start his sentence at
once.
Meantime, officials are investigating
further stories that have tended to I'M
plicate high foreign government of
