LONDON. Nov. 15.-The nat racing sea-

were t~wenty-three meetings In England.

usual standard.
The KIM continued to lend his patro-

winners with purses a~ggregating S3.6S5
to his credit. All the classic races OF
the English turf were maintained, al
though many of them did not come up
to the value OF the past years.
The leading winning owner was T..

diverted to the production Of the goods
In question. Moreover. the supply OF
labor Is not even SUFFICIENT for producing
the demands OF home consumers, besides
the vast quantities OF war materials
needed. and instead of wages being 80
low now that manufacturers would hnG
this a favorable time for producing
cheap goods. the report points out that
'the wages of all workers have abnor'
mally increased In proportion to the in
creased cost of living"
The iron and steel now produced In
Germany ere consumed for the greater
part In making arms and ammunition.
while the remainder barely suffces for
the legitimate requirements OF civilians,

goods and many export articles OF Iron

portance for Greece to remain ready and
In aoeyance until the right mt ar
rived. The army was to be kept mob
ilised with its main strength rouni sa-
lonica. II was essential to maintain to
all intents and purposes a friendly neu-
trality toward the Entente until the I'M
disputed superiority Of the Central
Powers was an established fact. II
seems beyond doubt that the Greek
policy was formulated In accordance
with distinct understandings with the
Foreign Offices of Vienna and Berlin.
The most important point was 10
weaken the born enemies Of Hellenism
In the Balkans-Serbia and Bulgaria.
The calculation vas that the two coun-
tries should fight n destroy each other.
II seemed beyond doubt that Serbia
would be overpowered by the Austro-
Bulgarian superiority. A victorious
Bulgaria would. however. come out Of
the conflgration weakened nj ex-
hausted. and would Furthermore be deci-
mated in the fight to follow against
the A~nslo-French army at salonica.
The development Of the conflict in con-
junction with a cleverly handled policy
would then produce the opportune mo
ment for King Constantine to place
himself at the head OF his army OF $780,
900 men, when a decisive battle would
be fought. resulting In the gloriflcat!on
Of Hcllas. and the King himself.
1t was not long before doubts as to
the wisdom of the Kings policy made
their appearance-frst in the Venizelist
press, naturally but soon also In the
circle Of his friends and adherents.
As bad luck would have II the wal
was too long drawn out. with the result
that the treasury ran short OF money.
II proved extremely costly to maintain
a modified army. and money was not
forthcoming. The trouble was that the
Entente began to CUB the sincerity
OF the Greek Government. and conse-
quently refused to advance any money.
For the last time the King received a
most tempting offer from England OF
settle the relations between Greece and
the Allies. But the King did not seize
the opportunity. His obstinacy did no,
him to submit. Then the patience
Of England and France was finally
exhausted.
What fate the near future has for
the Greek King and his dynasty Is to
be seen-at the best II will not be mild.
