FRENCH ARREST
GREEK LEADER
Head of 10000 ROyalists
Seized at AthenS-King
to Negotiate for War

Athens. Oct. 26.-The French au-
thorities here have arrested NJ. Christi
cos. who is the head Of over 10000 re-
servists and Royalists throughout
Greece
The understanding reached yester-
day by King Constantine and the En-
tente is believed to be the immediate
result Of the conference of the mill
tary and political leaders of France
and Great Britain at Boulogne on Fri
day last. The terms Of the understand
ing include on the part of Greece:
Sincere compliance with the demands
of Admiral Fournet; effective mainte-
nance of order in Athens and Pireus;
guarantee of constitutional liberties to
Greeks through the operation of the
legal functions of their government;
no opposition to recruiting for the
Venezelst movement, which now is
characterized as "anti-Bulgarian" in
stead Of national defence"
"The Forward" the Royalist organ,
to-day says: "The Boulogne confer
ence has opened the way to larger
understanding between the powers and
Greece"
One of the leaders Of the Greek pro
war party declared to-day: "Now that
the irritations due to mutual distrust
of one another by King Constantine
and the Entente ministers is out of the
way we can go to work negotiating for
Greece TO join the Allies as a nation
and a people, not as individuals"

which is the best answer TO the state
ments that Turkey r about to make a
separate peace with the Entente. We
stand or fall with the Central Powers
and at present there is nothing to In

"Tho Germans cannot be beaten in

they combine an unusually high ability
as organizers"
The Armenian question has been dis
posed Of, said HALL Bey. "Thc posi-
ton Of our government in this respect
has never been fully understood" he
went on. 81 wish 10 say that the
Young Turks have always looked upon
the Armenans as a valuable asset 20
the Turkish Empire. The fact is, we
needed them.
"The country's commerce was largely
in their hands, and rs farmers the
Armenians have a great value. We did
not look upon them as valuable chat
tells, however. We were willing 70 give
them an equal share in the government,
which we did, as is shown by the fact
that before the outbreak Of the war We
had a large number OF Armenians in
the Chamber Of Deputies and also sew
efal Senators.
"The Balkan war. however, caused
the Armenians to again take up their
scparatistic ideals. When the war
broke out we knew exactly what the
Armenians were doing. More bombs,
rifles. ammunition and money had been
brought into the country and their
organization was made even more per-
feet.

Gentlemen ! said, 4 fully under
stand your position. and hope that you
understand ours. We have engaged In
a war in which we may 90 down. That
will be your opportunity to make ar
rangements with the Entente, but bear
in mind that the Ottoman government
will apply the most severe measures If
you act against the Turks before you
know we are conquered. Sit quiet and
let us try this issue. When you are
sure we have lost 60 over TO the En-
tcnte and get from them all you can"
Despite this. he said, the Armenians
rose when the Russians invaded Asia
Minor, and the Turkish government
took the measures of deportation
which had been outlined to the Ar
menian leaders beforehand.

London, Oct. 27.-Unusual aerial ac-

British and German machines fought

French aeroplanes carried out sue

Emmanuel conferred medals of valor
on three members of the Italian air
corps. The fight was over the Albanian
coast on October -. IL ended in the
aeroplane being shot down and the

FRENCH MOVING

of FOrt-German At
tack Halted

London, Oct. 27-Steadily the French
are closing in on Fort Vaux, the last
great stronghold held by the Germans
in the arc north of Verdun. Last night
Nivelle's troops edged nearer their oo-
jective on the west and south. ms
seems TO indicate that the French COM
manders aim to pocket the ruined fort
ress rather than to smash their way
into it by frontal attacks.
The efficient curtain of fire erected
by the French guns held the Germans
in their trenches the entire day. only
once did they threaten a strong assault
on the French lines west Of Douau-
mont. This move was broken up before
it was well under way. The remainder
Of the day the forces Of the Crown
Prince contented themselves with a
continuous bombardment Of the French
positions along the whole line.
Information gathered from the
French General staff is TO the effect
that the victory at Verdun was in no
way due to the numerical inferiority
Of the Germans, who were surprised oy
the rapid offensive.
The French attack was carried out
by three divisions, which had opposed
TO them troops belonging to seven diff
fercnt divisions, which, it is stated,
were ample for effective resistance.
Battalions from nineteen regiments
have been identified in the first line
from the Mouse to Grimaucourt-en-
Woerve. Among the prisoners taken
are ten German battalion commanders.
Heavy rains precluded all but light
operations and artillery activity on the
Somme front. The British carried out
successful raids on enemy trenches
south of the Ancre.
