GREECE MAY
SOON FIGHT
Hellenic Afnyto Cooperate
With Those Of
Allies.

Washington. oct. 1.-Gresce u
nearly ready to put a large and eff
fective army IN the field to cooperate
with the ailias, according to Dispatch
Of from the Athens foreign office to
the Greek legation. here. Lack Of
equipment Il being remedied rapidly,
with the allleg' aid.
Minister RousDos today Save the
following summary of the situation In
his country a. described in tho legA-
tior's dispatch:
1.-THE situation in Greece is becom-
ing more satisfactory every day. The
people r thoroughly confident Of
the efficiency. OF their government
and they are willing to allow the pres
ent ministry to continue tho work OF
reorganization OF the resources Of the
country % that Greece may throw her
full strength into the war.
There Ii now nc pro-GernnAn par
ty In Greece. In fact, such q party
never existed save in the person Of
King Constantine, aided by certain
members OF his court. The Greeks
had q reA1saffection for their king and
had confidence in his word, which ac-
counts for the fact that his pseudo.
policy had many supporters. The ah-
dicaton Of King Constantine without
bloodshed or an uprising Of the pe0-
pie. indicates the obsenco of any or
gaHixod pro-German feeling, although
certain Of the political opponents of
Venizelos are using the argument that
there are still German propagandists
in the country.
