London, Sept. Former Premier
Venizelos, of Greece, leader of the
party which favors participation in
the war with the entente allies, says
the situation is becoming more and
more grave for Greece. Mr.. Venizelos
blames those who had advance knowl-
edge of Rufnania's intentions for not
bringing about the intervention of
Greece, at least simultaneously with
Rumania. The Stars correspondent
quotes him further as follows:
with the Bulgarian troops between
the Rumanians and the armies of the
entente allies and with the Russians
advancing through Dobrudja, who can
doubt that Bulgaria will seek to sign
a separate peace with the entente. If
this should happen before Greece goes
in on the side of the entente it would
mean the burial of Greece"
The idea of a separate peace for
Bulgaria is opposed by many of the
be1ligerent states.
