GREEKS GET INTO WAR WITH ALLIES
Provisional Government. Led by NenizelOS, Declares War on Ger many and Bulgaria-Action Not
 Hostile 10 King Constantine.

London, Nov 25.-The provisional government of Greece has declared war on Germany and Bulgaria.
 With the action former Premier Elutherious Yenizelos has brought the fifteenth army into the strug- gle, for 1t was the former premier who organized the new government m Greece and recruited the new force of Greeks which will take the field on the side of the allies.
 The provisional army includes many men from King Constantines army, among them several former commanders. They were given per mission to join the provisional army by the crown, which provided only that they resign from the kings service.
 Not Hostile to the King.
 In explaining his action in organ izing the provisional government, former Premier venizelos has said that his course is not to be con- sidered hostile to King Constantine, who has stolidly refused to enter the war. and the king in turn has declared that the Greek government will take no action against the Pro- visionals.
 
 During the past year the relations between the Allies and Greece have been marked by many crises, each of which passed with King Constan- tine still observing his position of neutral, altho each time the allies scored minor gains. They have es- tablished a base at Saloniki, altho that action met with determined opposition by the king. Then Con- stantine yielded.
 They have communicated Greek war vessels and are now in posses sion of the entire Greek fleet. They have compelled the representatives of the Central powers to withdraw from Athens. The Greek govern AiNAlt plOtfNtfu dHQ bllt ulDlOIlldIS, under orders to leave. resisted, but finally yielded and last week left the Greek capital on a vessel provided to carry them to Kavala, from where they are to go to their homes.
 Give Up Their Arms.
 The latest demands of the allied were delivered recent ly by Admiral du Fournet. calling upon Greece to surrender to the allies all arms and ammunition not actually held by the small Greek force. which remained under arms when the Greek army was demobiI- ized-also by order of the allies. The king refused to meet this demand, and the crown council decided upon resistance, if the allies sought to en- force the order. But the allies also have carried this point and the sur render of munitions has begun.
 Now Venizelos will take the field on the side of the allies and a Greek army has entered the world war.
