KITCHENER NOW
r. HOPE OF ALLIES
Confederates Believe with Field
Marshal on Scene it is Not Too
Late to Stop Teutons.
ENTENTE TROOPS ARE MOVING


LONDON, Nov. S.-The political
crisis, in Greece, which has clouded
the Balkans, has been finally over
come. M. Skouloudis having accepted
and performed the task of organizing
a cabinet, which being composed OF
ali the members Of the zaimis
cabinet, with the exception Of the ex-
premier himself. will carry on the
former governments policy Of main
tanning neutrality.
The new cabinet IL at the mercy Of the
venizeios majority in the chamber. but
the impression is that no attempt will
be made to turn II out. thus avoiding
dissolution OF Parliament and con-
sequent election. the result OF which
could not be predicted while the army
remains mobiized.
While the allies now can have little
hope OF Greece aiding in the defense OF
Serbia. the belief IL still held here that
Il ls not too late TO turn the tables on
the invaders. The departure for the east
of Lord Kitchener. after conferences in
f, Paris with Premier BRAND. General
Galiieni, the war minister, and General
4. Joffre. the commander-in-chief OF the
field forces. has given inference that
the campaign Is to be carried on ener-
.geticaIly, by the man who knows the
. east better than almost anyone else.
Advicea from Salonid and other points
today show that much larger forces thar
were thought 70 be near the scene are
being landed at salonikl and are proceed
ing 20 points where it is believed they
! can do the most good.
Troop trains are continually leavins
saIoniki. but so much secrecy Ia beins

pute the number OF men.
One report says an 1talian-Angio army
has landed at Valona' (Avlona) on the
Adriatlc, with the purposes of crossins

the Morava river. which has been crosse'

In the south the French are reporte

The Italians continue their offensive
