ChlcaBo, February 13.--Analysis of the poisoned soup which made a hun dred or more prominent guests vio- lently ill at a banquet given Arch bishop Mundelein here Thursday night at the University club was completed by pr. Frederick O. Tonney today.
 The analysis showed that the guests who partook of the soup missed death by narrow margin. The poison used was white oxide of arsenic Dr. Ton ney says that his estimate showed that the portions served each guest com tained one and half grains of the drug.
 His calculations showed that the en- tire kettle of soup contained 4S0 grains. This development was re garded as significant by detectives working on the case In the amateur laboratory of Jean Crones, the miss ing assistant chef at the club, an ounce bottle, said to have contained arsenic, mained neutral
 Is it just to insinuate that she did so through pro-Germanism when it is CNAA6HL Illdl sue SlInplS lOllOWEQ utl original course toward the two groups of belligerents?'
 After reciting the benefits to the en- tente of Greece s'benevolent neutrality Prince Nicholas continues:
 If it is considered for moment what the operations of the entente powers would have been without this elasticity, given the notion of neutral it doubtless cannot fall to be understood what Greece fri fnd fo fl,a n hd an tente during the war
 THE SERVIAN TREATY
 But there have been reproaches that Greece did not keep her engagement with Servia, that she deserted her ally at critical moment, despite the assurance of all these governments that the terms of the Greco -Servian treaty would be com pied with. I personally have very special reasons to appreciate our alliance with Servia, as I myself took an active part in the negotiations leading to the alliance.
 T can affirm that the treaty did not obligate Greece to enter the campaign to defend Servia, simultaneously attacked by Bulgaria and the central powers. It is a Balkan treaty, applying only to Bal kan policy"
 The prince goes on to say that the treaty engaged Servia to furnish certai'. forces under conditions which proved materially impossible of fulfillment and observes that the entente powers failed to make up the deficit.
 Had Greece participated he contin- ues, "she could not have saved the Serv- ian army operating at such a distance that our forces would not have been able to effect a junction in time. The Greek army would probably have suffered the fate of the Servian army, and the Bull garians, with the Austro-Germans and Turks, would today as enemies be in our territory Would Greece, weakened to this point, be of any use to Servia and, therefore, to the allied cause?
 BROKEN BY ALLIES
 ''The entente press repeats on every oc- casion that we ought to enter the strug gle to save the Balkan equilibrium. The equilibrium is as necessary to us as to the other4 Balkan peoples; we shall do all possible to safeguard it. But could 1t be any better maintained were we beaten and crushed? Was this equiib- rum always so dear to the entente pow ers, which sometimes employed pressure on us and even their ally Servia to break t up in favor of Bulgaria.
 After referring to the ''humillatlons and gratuitous insults" which Greece has suffered at the hands of the entente powers. Prince Nicholas makes especial complaint of "the doubt expressed in the Anglo French press as to the sincerity of our King and his government and of he sentiments of the Hellenic people .oward the allied troops"
 No suspicion he says. "could more ieeply wound the national pride of the Hellenic people than mistrust of their traditional hospitality and the word of heir sovereign"
