SERIOUS SITUATION
IN BALKAN AFFAIRS
England Issues Order Hold
ing Up Greek Ship
ing In General
BY j. w. T. Mason.

written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 18-England's order
holding up Greek shipping in british
and French ports is the most serious
development in the Balkan situation
since Bulgaria entered the war. 1t is
either an attempt forcibly to influence
Greek public opinion or is prelim.
mary defensive step due to belief
that King Constantine intends to Join
the central powers.
In principle, it is the same as dec
laration of war, though Greece will not
consider it thus unless King Constan-
tine has definitely resolved to join his
brother-in-law, Kaiser Wilhelm.
The allied action may have the eff
feet of alternating the sympathy of
Greek shippers and make the king more
stubborn, thus hurting the allies cause
at critical moment in the Balkan
situation. 1t is probable, however, that
the allies intend to exert further pres.
sure than this to swing Greece into line
either actively or passively on the al
lied side. The allies desire an unquali-
fled guarantee at least that Greece will
permit them to retreat into her terri
tory If such course becomes neces-
sary from the fortunes of war in the
Balkan theatre.
The future outlook for the allies in
this respect is not reassuring. The
king thus far has not shown any par
ticular optimistic signs that he will
grant this request. Furthermore, in the
position of selfish neutral, Greece
does not trust retreating armies.
The ship order came at a time when
the allies are making strenuous efforts
through diplomatic channels, operating
directly with the king, to influence the
Greek nation. That this step may have
gone too far is possibility, though the
additional pressure through Deny Is
Cohin and perhaps Earl Aitchener may
offset any damage such q move has
done.

As indicated at the meeting this
morning of the committee appointed to
affect an agreement between the state
and the Southern Pacific relative to the
disposition Of the o. & G. lands the land
grant conference which generated great
volumes OF hot air and provoked some
lengthy discussions will sag in the mid
die and dissolve gently and the 0. &
G. lands will remain in possession of tle
railroad company. At the meeting to.
day Attorneys Ralph A. Moody and
B. A. McAllister for the railroad com.
pany refused 10 concede q single point
which did not admit fee simple title
Of tie railroNss 1mpany to the lands;
which did not grant the company the
right to remove the timber or which did
not allow the railroad their own time
TO dispose of the lands under the terms
of the grant In other words, the rail
road contended for every single point
that was granted in the most favorable
decision of the supreme court and would
not release a single one Of these points
to further an agreement
Chairman W. ]. Vawter summed up
the situation when he said:
"There is absolutely no need for a
further conference if the railroad ad.
heres to the contention that the com.
pany has fee simple title to the lands
mas right to sever the timber to
chose the actual settler and to sell the
land at its own sweet will"
Mr.. Moody stated that the railroad
company held for all of these points re.
gardless Of the fact that the railroad
suggested that the conference leave the
solution Of the problem to small com.
mittee. The natural inference then was
tnat there would be no agreement and
when the committee adjourned this af
ternoon the problem would be as fai
from solution as it ever was unless that

Rome, Nov. 1S.-In the steep hills
through which the Leno De Vallersa
torrent tumbles, Italian and Austrian
soldiers are dealing out death with big
artillery.
The war office claimed today that
the Italians had succeeded in this por-
tion Of the Adige valley in straighten-
ing and enlarging their lines, and re-
pulsing violent Austrian onslaughts.
Other repulses were noted in the Pa
dola and Fella valleys. An all day
cannonade in the Carso plateau region
failed to halt the italian advance.
Heavy losses were inflicted when the
Austrans made attacks in force in the
Monte San Michele zone.
In the IsQnzo district, the Austrian
batteries have laid waste several towns.
Fires starting from bombardments con
verted Mosca and Lucinico into a heap
of ashes
The war office claimed that the Aus
trian campaign Of determination is sys-
tematical and that the enemy guns are
levelling villages where there are no
Italian garrisons,
Italian capture of a strong position
near Goritz was claimed.

TALKS TO GREEK RULER
Denys Cochin Tells Constantine What the nte Alliance
Will Give Him In Return For Participal 8 In War On
Their Side--AIso What They Might Do Z Him II He
: Goes Other Way-POsitOn Of Serbia GrO 'aiIy More
Desperate--British Hurry Toward Monas

Athens, Nov. 1S.-In unmistakable
terms, Denys Cochin, French cabinet
member, today informed King Constan'
time concerning the allies terms toward
Greece.
He told the king what the allies Of
fer for passing cooperation in the Bal
kan situation, what they will give for
active aid, and how they will retaliate
if Greece joins the central powers, thus
endangering ominously the allied posi-
ton.
Cochin's conference with the king
followed a discussion yesterday with
Premier Skouloudis, who upon assum-
ing office, notified the allies that
Greece would be beneyolently neu-
trail toward them After finishing
his discussion with the king, Cochin will
probably go to Salonika.
The least that the allies insist on is
strict non-interference by Greece with
their progress and strict guarantees
tnat Greece will not attempt to intern
the allies if they are driven back across
the Serb boundary into Grecian terri
tory.
While Paris and London stated after
Greece refused the. allied pr0tter OIL the
Island Of Cyprus for her aid that the
offer would not be renewed, it is be-
lieved now, however, that the allies re-
gard Greek assistance as so valuable
that the offer will be made again if
Constantine is inclined to accept.
Earl Kitchener is expected here be-
fore Cochin finally departs.
Authorities pointed out today that,
judging from the cordiality with which
the populace greeted Cochin, the gener-
al public is for the allies. Whether the
King will run counter to this apparent
public sentiment, however, is still in
doubt.
Former Minister Of Marine Stratos
has gone to Germany, presumably on

today from Salonika, supplied plenti-
fully with artillery.
The situation Of the city, however,
momentarily grows more perilous, for
Bulgnrs have joined in force at Prilep
and are ready for the assault on the
southern town.
Capture of Prilep gives the BuIgars
practically an open road to Greece. On
this line is Monastir.
Small bands are desperately fighting
rear guard actions, hoping that the al
lies will reach them before Monastir
falls.
Seventy miles east of the Prlep-M Mon
astir line, the great battle of Strumnit-
~ is raging. Turks are reported en-
route to the Bulgars aid, and besides
they have had other strong reinforce
ments which now are fighting vicious
ly to frustrate the allied invasion.

A Modification

And even this is q modification OF
his initial policy in regard to appro-
priations for buildings at institutions,
for until recently he was firmly
against the granting of moneys for
building purposes at State institutions.
1t is his present policy, at least 50
stated, to approve appropriations TO-
State institutions for maintenance and
building and repair of structures ell
ready built where absolutely neces-
sary He was brought TO this policy
only when shown by other statesmen
at the capitol that it would be poor
business policy to withhold from Stale
institutions funds undeniably required
to keep them in a condition Of fair eff
ficiency. But it may be set down
right now that this administration is
not TO be famed for its construction
and upbuilding Of public institutions.
Private Institutions ]
For private institutions, it is said.
he will approve appropriations for
maintenance to q certain total, bus
viii not consent TO expenditures for
private institutions exceeding this
sum. This means that he will not
unless he changes his stated policy
materially approve the erection of a
new building for the tuberculosis san
atorium at Fairfield, for instance, or
other buildings Of a like character.
Some Threatened Measure
Furthermore. he probably will not
approve of the expenditure of such a
large sum as Will be required if a
new State prison is built nor the APP
preparations proposed for new build
ings at the University Of Maine, th-
Augusta State Hospital, and building
appropriations that reach a consider
able figure as would these.

1t is said by citizens of Portland

anship of the city treasury and his

sisted chiefly of refusing appropria-
lions of sums for improvements and
