CREEK CRISIS
MORE ACUTE
REPORTED THAT ENTIRE ARMY
WILL BE MOBILIZED At ONCE
TO JOIN ALLIES.
STORM IN CABINET
The Foreign Minister Is Reported to
Have Resigned Following "A
stormy Sess;on--Warships
Join Allied Fleet.

! LONDON, Sept. 2S-An uncon-
firmed dispatch from Athens report
ed that the entire Greek army OF
100000 men would be mobilized al
cnce to join the allies, and that King
Constantine was expected to sign
the decree within forty-eight hours.
The government will issue proc
lamation to the people denouncing
the Bulgarian occupation of Kavala
and other Greek ports, 10 be follow
ed by a declaration of war.
The Greek legation today had no
confirmation of these reports.
Diplomatic circles said it was ru-
nIored that Alexander Carapanos.
the Greek foreign minister and an
anti-ally in sentiment, had resigned
following a stormy session of the
abinet. Presumably his resignation
followed repeated attempts to range
the army along side of that of the
allies.
Contradictory dispatches from
Athens said the situation was seri-
Gus. but predicted as probable that
ex-Premier Venizelos had arrived at
Crete. He received enthusiastic
welcome. forcing the hand of the
king. Venizelos caused proela-
nation to be given wide circulation
in Greece offering the king one more
chance to join the allies.
The Greek warship Hydra and the
cruiser Psara are known to have
joined the allied fleet in the Medi-
terranean under control of the revo-
lutionists, said one Athens dispatch,
but rumors that other naval forces
lad followed them have not been
confirmed Several more Greek
army officers arrived at Saloniki
yesterday and offered their services
to the allies.
