Allied Plumbers IN Greece

ONNICTlON grows that the allies have
~ hiundered miscrably in their dealing with
Greece. What was, apparently, on almost
united people arrayed in opposition to the
Teutonc leanings OF King Constantine has
become nation divided into factions, of
which the element antngonistic to the allies
has been considerably strengthened by the
high-handcd seizure Of national properties.
1t is still certain that greater numbers
favor the entente than the central powers,
and. as was said yesterday Greece must soon
cast in her lot with the allies plunge into
civil war. Blu; it is equally certain that the
Kings influence has been hroadened by ma
,ional resentment against allied cncroach-
ments. Belgium resisted Germany herocal-
ly; a Greek faction has only made dcmonstra-
tons and forwarded a futile appeal to
America, but the spirit that prompted the
Greek protest cannot be disregardcd
