government would mean the immediate recall Of M. Venizelos and the fulfill nent of the original agreement between him and the allied powers to go to the assistance Of Serbia.
 In this belief, the news caused q distinct rally on the stocI. exchange Later dispatches from Athens however, indicated a possible dissolution of par liament Should this course be taken it would be at least two months before an election could be held and the new chamber meet. Tn the meantime the Zairnis cabinet, the resignation Of which has not yet been accepted, with perhaps a change in the ministry ot war. would have charge of affairs, and correctly there would be no change in the military situation.
 Might Not Join Allies
 Even should Nj. Venizelos be called upon to form q new government, it is not certain that he would join the allies Tt present, but the quadruple entente would have the assurance that Greece would not turn against them.
 On the other hand it is not to ge for gotten that King Constantine was will ling to follow the policy of M. Nenize- los up to a certain part, and there are some diplomats here who believe that assured of landing of very strong Anglo French forces at Saloniki and Kavala. together with a Russian army on the other side of Thrace and the possible assistance of Rumania, the Greek king might be willing to embark On operations against Bulgaria.
 Greece never looked with favor OF Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia, and there>are some in the country who fear that a victorious Bulgaria might throw covetous eyes on Kavala. which King Ferdinand fought so hard to get at the conclusion of the Balkan wars.
 Rumania Is Undecided
 Rumania is in somewhat the same position as Greece. A majority of the people or that country favor the allies, while the king and government wish to maintain neutrality, at least until it appears clear that the allies can win the war. There have been continual demonstrations in Rumania in favor of the intervention which have been heightened by the presence of large Russian force on the northeastern bor- der awaiting to attack Bulgaria.
 In Berlin, according to reports, fear has been expressed that this force will ne allowed to march through Rumania. territory and that it might be joined by the Rumanian army. To discourage this, an Austro- German army is being assembled on the western borders of Rumania. thus the anxiety Of the Ru manian government can be understood.
 Besides massing troops, the allies are taking other steps to persuade Greece and Rumania that it is to their interest to join against the central powers.
 Russians on Offensive
 Having checked the German offen siye along the. whole eastern front, eX- cept directly west of Riga, where the nature of the ground makes an ad vance difficult, the Russians have started a counter offensive at three points-west of Dvinsk, on the Styr in Volhvnia, and on the Stripa in Galicia. On the Stripa river, they claim to have won a great victory and to have cap tured 5000 prisoners, although admit ting that the battle is still in progress. They also claim success at other points.
 The Germans on their side assert that all the attacks have been repulsed with heavy losses to the Russians in killed, wounded and prisoners.
 From an unofficial source it also is reported that the Russians advanced in strong force and have captured inn portanr positions near Czernowitz--a movement calculated more than any thing else to influence Rumania.
 Serbians Make Stand
 The Serbians, who are making a stanHln the south, where they are si1p- ported by the British and French. con tinue their retirement before the Aus tro- Germans and Bulgarians in the north and northeast. The Bulgarians are now within ten miles of Nish and
