LONDON ACCEPTS STORY
GREEK CABINET IS OUT
Reported Resignation of Ministers Not
y Unexpected in England.
CBy dc InternatIonaI Ner. serrice.l

CBy the International News servIce.)
London, Oct. 2.-Complete silence as to
developments in Greece has continued
since, early this evening, a dispatch re-
porting the fall OF the Malegeropoulos
cabinet was received by the Central
News.
The report, although still unconfrmed
at late hour, is generally accepted in
well-infOrmed circles
1t is believed to be a prelude to action
by the King in joining the entente pow
ers. The KalOgeropoUlos cabinet was in
disfavor with the allies.
Formal recognition Of it had been with
held, the entente representatives at Ath-
ems negleeting to make the customary
calls
Now, after a short life of little more
than two weeks, it has gone the way Of
other recent Greek ministries
The reason for the disapDroval indi-
Gated by the allies is generally conceded
to be tina. the cabinet included in its
membership several persons publicly op-
posed to the entente policy.
Their refusal to recognize the body
practically forced its downfall.
All negotiations have been carried on
directly with King Constantine.
