ARE MAD WITH THE ALLIES

The situation in Greece is not only
again of decided political interest. but
potentiCnally of marked military i'm
portant in connection with the sup
posed purpose of the central powers
to turn important sections of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen's hughe army
in Roumania upon the entente's
Saloniki army.
Correspondents in Greece report a
persistently hostile attitude by King
Constantine and the Greek royalists
toward the entente, and declare jef-
forts are being made to gather a
strong army in the Larissa region for
an attack upon the entente forces
from the rear simultaneously with at
tacks by the Teutonic allies from the
north
British military writer's call atten-
tion to these contingencies and decis,
i've action with regard to Greece is
urged in the interest of sound strage-
ty and the safety of the entente forces
in Macedonia.
campaign reflect the continued retire
ment of the Russo-R -Roumanian forces
in Eastern Wallachia, with the figures
ut CAPTURES of men and materials by
the invaders constantly growing
How far the advance of Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen may take him
before the entente forces are able to
reconstitute themselves sufficiently to
make an effort to hold him is not
clear
1t is considered probable. however,
that not much. if any. of Wallachia
will be left in Roumanian hands. The
line of the Buzeu river, which mill
tary commentators have picked as a
likely one on which stand may be
made, is virtually the boundary be
tween Wallachia and Moldavia, Rou-
mania's northern province
That there is every intention on the
part of the Russians to maintain
firmly the line along the Western
Moldavain frontier to safeguard that
province is indicated by today's re-
mort from Petrograd of a Russian of
fensive in the Putna valley region on
the frontier east of Kedzi Vasarhelv.
The announcement declares that the
Austro-German forces We're dislodged
from two heights, losing 500 men in
