Those Close to King Say
He Will Act Against
Bulgaria.
REVOLT SPREADS FAST
.TENEDOS JOINS REBELS
National Cabinet To Be
Formed When Die Has
Been Cast.

London, Oct. king Constantine Of
Greece is expected TO declare war on
Bulgaria tomorrow. Despite the per-
sistent assertions by adherents Of eX-
Premier Venizelos and Entente repre-
sentstives that he is merely playing
for time and mas no intention of cast
ing his lot with the Allies at present,
those close to the King declared to-
day, according 10 dispatches from
Athens, that he would telegraph his
decision to King George. Emperor
Nicholas and President Poincare to-
morrow.
The King is expected TO urge action
at meeting of the Crown Council to-
morrow morning. In diplomatic cir
c.es here this report is viewed with
skepticism by some Venizelos may
lead large part OF the Greek people
into war, they say, but King Constan-
tine probably will continue neutral.
Meanwhile the revolutionary move
ment is gaining strength throughout
Greece with a rapidi,y that is startling
the anti-war party. The Island Of
Tenedos has gone over 10 the rebels.
reservists are reported rioting on the
Island Of Zante, and officers, soldiers
and policemen are embarking for Sa-
lonica by the hundreds. A French es-
cort was furnished to g. group Of men
who desired 70 embark yesterday. and
they were followed b. Greek officers.
Once the Kings decision has been
reached it is expected national Cabi-
net will be formed, in consultation with
the British Minister VI Venizelos
probably will have n portfolio II he de-
sires. 1t is predicted that VI. Kaloger-
opoulos will remain as Premier and
Minister Of Finance, with ". Stratos,
former Minister Of Marine. as War Min
ister; NJ Carapanos, the present For

ALLIES ATTACKING
ALL ALONG LINE
Bucharest Army, Despite
Heavy Loss in Trap,
Advances.
By Cable 10 The Tribune J

London, Oct. 1.-The Allies have re-
sumed the offensive everywhere IN
Macedonia. The British forces on the
left bank Of the Struma River swung
forward o-day and captured by storm
two strongly fortified villages near the
Sores road.
The Serbs, after beating back night
and day attacks by the enemy, seized
the entire position Of the kaimakcalan
ridge, which from the east dominates
the Cerna Valley and the Bulgar de-
fences before Monsstir.
Rumanians Turn on Foe.
Meanwhile the Rumanians, rallying
after their defeat in Pennsylvania at
the hands Of Won Fslkenhayn, smashed
forward at three points in the eastern
part OF the province. And, TO relieve
the pressure on their ally's lines in
Transatlantic, the Russians opened
fresh offensive movement against Lem
berg and concentrated troops in South
eastern Bukowina for a dash against
the Teutons.
Thus on virtually every front in the
Balkans the Austrian, German and Bull
garian forces have been placed on the
defensive again and the co0rdinated
campaign Of the Allies has taken an
other stride forward.
IL is now clear that Falkenhayn's
coup in Pennsylvania presaged a gen
I clal offensive against Rumania. The
attack, it is believed. viii be pressed
on ell sides Of Rumania. This is in
dicated by the carrying out on Satur-
day Of strong naval assault on the
Rumanian Danube port Of CaraOia
Austrian river forces succeeded IN
siIencing the defensive works, pene-
trating the inner haroor and infict-
ing severe damage on the military es-
adjustments and railroad facilities OF
the town, besides rescuing nine
captured Austrian tugs.
Germans Admit Retreat.
Scattered and put TO fight by Fall
kenhayn at the end of the four-day bat
tie in the Hermannstadt sector, the
surviving troops of the kumanian hrs5
army reassembled with the second
army in the Fogares Mountains, north
cast of Hermannstadt. Swinging for
ward from this thirty-mile front on
Friday, King Ferdlnand's troops sue
cessfully resumed the offensive. North
Of Fogares and near Szekely UdvarheIy
and Oderhellen they swept the Teutons
back. This much is admitted IN TO-
DAVIS official statements from Berlin
and Vienna.
At the same time the Rumanisns
have renewed the attack IN other parts
Of the Pennsylvania front. In the Hat

Replying to a question as to the diff
culties Of winter fighting on the
Somme. General Maurice said: "0f
course. we cannot expect to use our
long range guns to such advantage in
rainy, cloudy weather. but you must
remember that the French and Ger
mans fought over this very country
right through the winter of 1870. The
Germans began their attack on Verdun
in February; there was heavy fighting
in November.
From our present position we are
able to command a view of the whole
country before US, unless the weather
is extremely thick. Our policy of slow.
steady advance IS well suited 10 fall
and winter. II the Germans have to
fall back in bad weather it will GER
talnly be harder for them than for u.s."
Regarding The Salonica expedition
General Maurice said: "The campaign
there under General Sarrail is devel-
oping along the lines expected. The
conditions there are entirely different
from those in the west. the difficulties
Of transportation being very great. as
there are only two railways-onc to
Monastir. the other to Uskub. We did
rot and do not expect rapid progress.
We face an enemy almost as strong as
W, good fighters, thoroughly familiar
with the country. Fighting can con
iinue there throughout the winter as
the Germans demonstrated in their
campnign in Serbia last year. We are
holding a large force. which cannot be
used bv the Germans at some other
point. We can wear the enemy down
here, rs in the west, and we are
doinF A."
