kans. Russian troops, though long
poised for action near the frontier OF
Roumania, have not yet. so far as Is
known, left their own territory. Rou-

Greek press does not represent the views
OF the Hellenic government. which Is said
to be optimistic regarding successful
settlement but the ground for this op-
timism. which has failed TO impress tho
