ZaimIS Government Is Of Short
Duration, and Fall Is In
expected.
LATEST BALKAN SENSATION
May Mean Return of VenizeloS
and That Greece Will Go
to Aid of Serbia.

London, Nov. 5.-The defeat Of
the Greek government in the cham
Der of deputies and the consequent
resignation of the Zaimis cabinet is
the latest sensation afforded by the.
Balkans.
The fall of Zaimis came unexpecf-
eddy, as it was believed that the
leader of the majority had decided
to accord the premier sufficient sup.
port to enable him to remain in of
fee. for the present, at least.
As so often happens, however,
vote of confidence was demanded by
the government on matter Of mi
nor importance-some difference of
opinion between M. Venizelos and
the minister of war, Gen. Yanakit-
sas. on military proposals-snd the
government was defeated, lat to
to ia.
There have been continual demon
strations in Rumania in favor of in
PREVENTION, which have been height
ened by the presence of a large
Russian force on the northeastern
border waiting to attack Bulgaria
In Berlin, according to reports,
fear has been expressed that this
force will be allowed to march
through Rumanian territory, and
that it might be joined by the Ru-
manian army. To discourage this,
an Austro-German army is being as
sembled on Rumania's western bor6-
ers. Thus the anxiety of the R1-
manian government can be under
stood.
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.
Having checked the German Of
fensive along the whole eastern
front. except directly west of Riga,
where the nature of the ground
makes an advance difficult, the Rus
SLAMS have started a counter often
sive at three points-west of Dvinsk,
on the Styr in Volhynia, and on the,
Sripa, in Galicia. On the Strips
river they claim to have won great
victory and to have captured 5000
prisoners, although admitting that
the battle continues. They slss
claim successes elsewhere.
The Germans, on their side. assert
that all the Russian attacks have
been repulsed with heavy losses ca
the Russians in killed, wounded N
prisoners.
From an unofficial source it also
is reported that the Russians are
advancing in strong force and have
captured important positions ne&g
Czernowitz-a movement calculated
more than anything else to influence
Rumania.
The Serbians, who are making a
stand in the south, supported by ths
British and French, continue EhssT~
retirement before the Austro- Ger
mans and Bulgarians in the nortaa
and northeast. The Bulgars aFe
within ten miles of Nish and are a5-
vancing northeastward from Uslup
toward Pristina. Thus, besides be-
ing in danger of losing their capital,
the Serbians are threatened with be-
ing cut off from the south, and WIIk
have only one line of retreat, To
Montenegro. They are fighting Sc
we're rear guard actions, nevesths-
less, and are leaving little or nothing
behind for the invaders.
The fighting continues in. the.
Champagne district of France, with.
fluctuating results.
While the Italians persist ia 0iasiS
offensive, the Austrians claim tFhsr
haye made no progress.
