Believe Rumania Will
Enter War With Entente
BY Associated Press

Anthems, March 20. - The impress
sion prevails in high political circles
at Athens that Rumania shortly will
abandon her policy of neutrality in
favor of the entente allies. Should
Rumania enter the war Greek officials
would be placed in an embarrassing
position, the force of which already is
felt. Military representatives of the
entente allies do not disguise the fact
that at present they have no need for
Greece and do not desire to assume
responsibility for maintenance and
equipment of the Greek army unless
they are assured definitely of CO.
operation in the event of an allied
offensive in Macedonia.
The course of the fighting at Yer
dun has produced n marked impress
sion on even the most determined non
interventionists. and the royalist press
is changing its tone in regard to the
participation of Greece in the war.
