HANDS OFF" WILL BE U. s.
POLICY IN GREEK CRISIS

WASHINGTON. oct. 19.-State Depart
ment officials today were deeply concerned
over the possibilities OF Greek requests for
Intervention by the United States In the crit
ical situation now confronting the Govern
ment at Athens. The addition of the Greek
complication 20 the already tangled skeln
of foreign difficulties now before the State
Department threatened to prejudice the
plans of the administration for preventing
all further European diplomatic develop
ments until after election. While the de.
mands from Greece, first from the pro-
visional Venlzelos Government asking the
privilege OF recruiting Greek reservsts In
the United States and second. from a group
of Greek citizens, asking the United States
TO interfere TO prevent further encroach-
ments on Grecian sovereignty by the En-
tente Powers, were only informally before
the department, they were admittedly an
unpleasant development.
Neither the State Department nor the Royal
Greek legation here, however have been
officially notified of either OF the demands.
Charge d'Affaires Vouros asserted that he
had heard nothing directly from Athens
He declared that disturbed conditions in
Greece and the war conditions throughout
Europe had interrupted his cable commun-
ications.
while we know that conditions in Greece
are very acute" he said. I'VE cannot credit
the accounts which state that King Constan-
'lic mas ielt tne capltal OF tnat ne mas
planned 70 abdicate the throne. IL is highly
probable that influential Greek citizens win
look TO the United States for aid, because
Greece has always. since the days of Clay
and Webster, looked upon this country as its
stanch friend among the great Powers.
State Department ocials pointed out that
any request for leave TO recruit a Greek
army in this country. either TO support King
Constantine or to side with the Venlzelos
revolutionists, would be a distinct breach
OF the neutrality of the United States
They were likewise emphatic in their state
ment that no petition from Greek citi-
zens. or even from the Greek Government
could possibly prevail upon this country
to interpose itself between Greece and the
Entente Powers at This time. A hands or
policy was pl-inly the course in the minds OF
the department officials
Charge Nouros arranged TO call at the State
Department today. seeking information as
to the various unofficial reports from Athens
and particularly TO find out II Minister
Droppers had forwarded the petition for
American interference which, unofficial dis
patches say. was submitted TO him by a
committee Of Greek citizens.

ANTI-ALLY LEADERS PUSH
OPPOSITION IN GREECE

ATHENS, oct Is (delayed). Greek
troops are In complete control of the situa-
tion here today, anti-Ally mobs are being
bilities OF serious clash between civilians
and French marines seem to have been
averted.
The anti-Ally leaders however, are con-
tinuing their attempts to organize demon
strations, and the crisis is by no means past
II is understood that King Constantine, fol-
lowing conferences with the British and
French Ministers, sent personal appeals to
the most prominent Of his supporters urging
them not TO stir up the Athens crowds TO
acts OF violence
The collapse OF reports that n United
States fleet was approaching Piraeus to in
tervene disheartened the civilian crowds
and has helped restore order. Newspaper
extras were circulated about the city by the
anti-Ally leaders, reporting that American
warships would arrive within a few hours
to see that Greek neutrality was not vio-
lated by the Allies. These reports greatly
encouraged the mobs, thousands OF Greeks
actually believing that they would soon be

OF PASUBIO" TAKEN
BY CADORNA'S TROOPS AFTER
BRILLIANT MOUNTAIN VICTORY

ROME. Oct i9.-An important victory
for the Italians south OF Rovereto was an
nounced yesterday by the War Office. The
Austrian lines between Cosmagnon and
Monte Roite have been broken. the Austrian
trenches north of Monte Pasubio taken and
the almost imprognable redoubt on a peak
called the Tooth OF PasubIo" has been
storrned. All the captured works have been
held against counter-attacks. The whole
operation constitutes a brilliant and dim
cult feat In mountain warfare.
Despite the inclement weather the Italians
continue 20 push their new offensive to-
ward Trieste. II was estimated today that
the Austrians lost 10000 In killed wounded
and captured since the offensive began.
