ALLIES URGING GREECE
 TO DECLARE ATTITUDE

London, Oct 21-The entente DOW CTS are bringing all possible pressure to bear on Greece in order to elicit an unequivoeaI definition of her poIi- cys towsard> the other Balkan states and the Europe7ss belIigereIi itscr HrIey have intimated clearly that on account of the geographical position of Greece and her treaty obligations to Serbia her announced policy of neutrality will be difficult, if not impossible. to maintain.
 It has become a question, in the. opinion of the allied diplomats, of not permitting Greece to continue what is considered an ambiguous policy un-. til their opponents in the war are able to utilize the neutral position or Greece to her own advantage.
 The Greek goverdnment is nowl considering the British offer of the island of Cyprus, which, according to an Athens message, Britain will cede immediately on condition that Greece joins the allies. The Russian foreign minister, Df. Sazonoff, has issued a. statement to the effect that he con any measures to prevent their enc mics from taking advantage of thei neutral position of a third power.
 The fleets of the allies already have. established a close blockade Of the Aegean coast of Bulgaria
 It has not been established whether the Bulgarians have occupied Vranyal on the Nish-Salonil1i railroad, conf corning which there are fhctngi reports. It is fact, nevertheless. thats railroad communication between TIishs and UsISup has been interrupted a-nds if the Bulgarians have not actually crossed the line they have at least advanced far enough to interrupt tFaf- fic, which accomplishes the same pur=. pose.
 The principal pressure on Serbia iGr now coming from the Bulgarian side4i Recent despatches reveal no further advances of importance by Field Marshal Von Mackensen's German a.nd{ Austrian forces.
 The two outstanding features on the. Russian front are the continued of. fensive of the Russians south of Fri-, pet and the new German offensivel south of Riga In the latter districtst the Germans are making a. strong3 effort to force the DVina river. in a, country prsenttng many difficulties to the invader.
 In the southern area Russian suc-i cesses have modified the situation ra-i ideally, and the Austro-German line from Pinsk to Lenberg Is no longer, held securely.
 Except for further details of the un- successful German attack on British positions near Huluch and on the French front in the vicinity of Rheims, .therc is no news of importance iron the western front

BURGLARS WORK AT LEISURE IN HOUSES
 LEFT UNTENANTED
Former Police Commissioner Baldwin Tells How Cracks
 men Operate Here.

That burglars who have a practice of robbing untenanted homes in a series of visits. are prevalent in Bridgeport, is the belief of former Fo- lice Commissioner George M. Baldwin.
 According to MT. Baldwin, the plan carried out at his home in the several bhrglaries there, was to get most of the valuable property by repeated visits.
 MT. Baldwin asserted today that the time his house was burglartzed two years ago, Mrs. Baldwin had entered the house at the same time a burglar was there and after she left the burg lar made his getaway.
 According to the former police of fcial, Mrs. Baldwin returned to the house and discovered that drawer was open. However, as her husbands valuable Masonic charm was in the drawer she thought nothing was aniss. She left for an hour or so. and when she returned the charm was gone. with other valuable articles.
 It is the belief of MT. Baldwin that the thieves watch the columns of tho newspapers in the summer and au- tunnn, to learn what families are Ieav- ing home for vacations. In this man ner they discover what houses are the safest to rob.
 In each of the burgiaries at the Baldwin house. evidence was found that the depredators intended to re- turn for another load.
 In the New Haven police court yes terday, HarrI Hoad. alias Harry HoadIey, alias Harold Rooney, who is accused of the most recent Baldwin burglary, was arraigned and his case was continued until Saturday under bonds of $2,o00.
 Hoad or Rooney. as he is known most frequently. is said to be wanted in Ansonia and Naugatuck on sus- picion of having been concerned in breaks in those cities.
