INTEREST CENTERS ON

Parisian Newspapers Declare Crisis
 Exceeds Change of Ministry.

Paris, March 1.-The crisis in Greece is commented on extensively today by the principal Paris papers, although the announcement concerning the sit uation was received here late today.
 What will Greece dO'' naturally is the principal question asked as there is much speculation as to her probable plans. Some of the papers declare that the crisis exceeds in preparation the mere change in the ministry.
 The Figaro says that Greece wants the right to be admitted into the par tition of dying Turkey and has her eyes fixed on Smyrna and the numer- ous colonies of the Anatoliap coast.
 The relation of the king of Greece to the emperor of Germany through marriage as factor which might work against possible intervention, and the sentiment of Premier Venizelos in favor of the allies of the triple entente, are discussed from various points of view.

 Tt is impossible for Italy to keep put of the snlntinn of such problems
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-08

Whether Greece is to throw in her lot with the allies of the triple entente or remain neutral is the absorbing question of the war. The Hellenic kingdom is in the throes of a mighty crisis, with King Constantine said to be in favor of neutrality, and the re- tiring premier, ElutherioS Venizelos, one of the strongest men in Greece, declared to be uncompromisingly op- posed to such step.
 The resignation of the premier and his cabinet Saturday is reputed to have been due to the unyielding attitude of the monarch. The belief prevailed that, with the appointment of a new minis try, the storm clouds would dissipate. This feeling was heightened by reports from Athens that Venizelos had stated in speech in the chamber of deputies that he and his followers would sup port any government the king might appoint.
 Later information, however, brought the true utterance of VeniZelos to the world. Our party" he said, will re- fuse to support any government which may be formed" Added significance was attached by some of his hearers to his further statement, Besides, M. Zaimis, if he forms cabinet, will not come before the chamber
 NJ. Zaimis, who has been rendered the portfolio of premier, has not yet accepted the task of forming a minis try. Instead he has requested time to consult with his followers. Mean while the situation is tense.
 Continued gains of ground north of Arras in the Champagne district and the Vosges, with heavy losses in the latter region for the Germans, is claim ed by Paris, while Berlin asserts that the Germans have taken trenches and prisoners in Champagne and caused heavy casualties in the allied lines near Le Mesnil and Badonviller.
 In the east, in north Poland, the Russians declare they are still forcing back the Germans, but Berlin asserts ing according to our plans."4 In the Rawa region, Berlin says 5400 prison CTS and 16 machine guns were taken from the Russians.
 Farther south in Poland, in the re- zion of the Pilica river, Petrograd re- ports that a great battle is taking shape. In the Carpathians region brisk hghting continues, with victories chronicled by both the Russian and Austrian war offices.
 The Dardanelles forts continue to feel the shells of the allied warships but Turkey asserts that they have as yet suffered no great damage.
 British troops have had clash with Turkish forces, reinforced by tribes men, at the head of the Persian gulf London reports that heavy casualties were inflicted on the Ottomans. but admits that the British also suffered considerably.
