Allies Alarmed Over
Growth of Pro-German
Sentiment in Athens

LONDON, Nov. s.-The behavior Of
Greece IL beginning to alarm the allies.
Pro- -Germanism IL growing at Athens.
Inside information today Is that the
Greeks may not even stay neutral.
There are hints Of an understanding
with Bulgaria.
The ~eople. perhaps. are still with
the allies but even this Is not certain.
strong court influence has been brought
to bear. ana unduestionably II produced
some impression. More than anywhere
else It has been effective among the
army officers.
Men high In the Government here
think this probably accounts for Kins
Constantine's defiance OF cx-PremieI
Venizelos. the war party leader. The
theory here. at the time. was that Con-
stantine was running grave risks Of a
revolution In disregardins constitutional
precedent, considering that Venizelos
won the last popular election. The
suspicion now Ia that the King believed
there had been change and that an.
other election might result differently.
Even assuming that the civilian popu
lation remained pro-ally. is suggestet
that he probably thought he could count
on the troops to put down any risins
against him.
Strong sentiment exists In government
circles here and at Paris for action by
the allies to force the Greek hand a.

LOREBURN ALONE IN
. HINT At COMPROMISE
British Agree Only With His
Criticism Of Government
Censorship.

LONDON. Nov. o.-If Lord Loreburn
was limiting at compromise with Ger
many when he told parliament that in
definite continuation OF the war might
mean anarchy and that any man
would be strangely constructed who did
not grasp at any honorable opportunity
to prevent the most frightful calamity
which ever befell the human race" men
high In public life declare today he Is
practically alone In his idea.
The Loreburn speech seems to have
served only to elicit a general reitera-
ton OF previous emphatic statements
from responsible quarters that peace Ia
impossible until the central powers
have been decistvely beaten.
In his criticism OF the censorship,
however. Lord Loreburn evidently
struck responsive chord. Many ex-
pressions are heard OF the belief tnat
by minimizing the allies difficulties
the censorship was, more than any
other cause. responsible for unsatisfac-
tory enlistments In the past
The matter promises to be still mors
thoroughly threshed out in parliament
In the near future. with strong prom
ises of notifications In the system.

The straightest. contrariest hair can

The siimerine is best put on with a

cream. better than any massage cream.
and better than any rouge, for accom-

Spreading on a thin coat of this wax at

do the work. There's nothing better to

NEGOTIATIONS WITH.
BRITAIN DEADLOCK
Arbitration May Settle Dispute
Over Rights Of Ships Of
7 Neutral Nations.

England and the United States are
with arbitration as the only solution
over British trade interferences. This is
opinion of many officials today as senti-
ment formed regarding this Govern
ment's note to England.
Future detention of American ships or
cargoes. It is now believed. will de-
velop the controversy into a concrete
issue. From official sourcs It Is learned
that the Administration regards the last
note as lna! and unalterable declara-
tion of principles. 1t serves notice that
this Government will not recognize the
Aritish blockade of Germany.
Expect Abrupt Demand.
While the future course IN case Of con-
tinued trade Interference by England
has not been completely mapped out. II
has heen sufficiently outlined to Indicate
that abrupt demand for observance OF
Americas rights will follow immedi-
ately any future detentions Of American
cargoes.
rhc United States does not contem-
plate asking for "disavowar' by Eng
land OF future trade interferences. but
will ask for a categorical answer
whether England intends continuing
her blockade and the Objectionable or
ders in council. II, as expected. Eng
land does not yield. the general opin-
ION here today is that arbitration Will
be the next resort.
Possible Intervention BY Congress IN
the commercial dispute ls also pointed
out as serious factor to be consld-
cred. That Congress will have mucn
to say and suggest regarding tho An
glo-American controversy Is admitted.
Retaliatory measures. through legis-
lation. are not favored by the Admin
istration, but public Indignation Is ex-
pccted to he famed with the convening
OF Congress.
The so-called Bryan peace" treaty
now in effect with England. was dis
cussed today as harbor to leeward
of this Government IN the trade dis
pute. II Is said by some officials to
work largely to England's advantage.
The one-year breathing SPELL for dis
cussion OF differences provided In the
treaty. 1t was pointed out. might be
taken advantage OF bv England to con-
tinuc her trade practices another year
before finally broaching an 0rbitral
decree.
Await Two Reports.
The State Department is today await
ing two reports from Ambassador Page.
at London. one regarding the official
reception OF the trade note. and an
other with England's explanation Of the
seizure of the American steamer Hook
ing.
1t is now concluded that England In
tends to test through the prize court
the registry transfer of the Hooking.
This Government probably will appeal
from an adverse decision. meanwhile en-
Caging in diplomatic negotiations in
opposition to England's new enemy

Officials today expressed confidence
that Germany will release the American
steamer Pass OF Balmaha. captured
with British prize crew aboard. Am.

point out that the vessel Is now entirely
owned nv American interests. even
though seized and in British possession
