q possibility that Greece may be
thrust into the war against Its will.
Overriding all objections. the en-
tento powers are today transporting

tions and may attempt to halt It by

The allies did not want TO trans
port the newly equipped Serbian sol

II was suggested TO Premier Skou-
ioudis that the troops be sent to
Patras by steamer. and thence to
saloniki by rail. Skouloudis sound
cd out the Teutonic allies. which re-
piled that his country would commit
