London, May 31.-The long-expect-
ed entrance of Greece into the war on
the side of the entente allies, fore
shadowed repeatedly in recent deve.-
opments on the Balkan front, appears
to have become a certainty. This was
gathered from news of hurried troop
movements by both Greek and Bull
gar-German forces in the region OF
Demir-Hissar and the statement from
Athens that the Greeks have begun
fortifying forts in that vicinity. In
some quarters the entrance of Greece
into the conflict is regarded as the
knell of the Hohenzollern dynasty,
which has been successful for nearly
two years in maintaining neutrality
against the will Of large proportion
of the people. The abdication of King
Constantine and the return to undis-
puted sway of Venizelos, former pre-
mier, were regarded as possibilities
likely to eventuate at any moment.
That the final termination of Hell
lenic neutrality means crisis in the
near Orient is not doubted among
military men here.
Added color is given the report that
Greece definitely has taken sides came
from the official statement issued by
the war office in Berlin, which ad-
mits the occupation o. strip of
Greek territory by German and Bull
garian troops. The statement adds,
however, that otherwise Creek terri
torial rights were respected"
