Athens. Information reaches French Of.
fetal quarters here that Greek Hoyalist
troops at Elassona have begun to march
toward Gen. Sarrail's rear.
This march northward violates lie

Greek Royalist troops and the Neui-

Entente Allies agreed to observe. Elias

The Greek royaiist troops have also
violated the terms of the agreement Of
King Constantine to transport them in
the very opposite direction. To the Pelo-
ponnesus. where they could not threaten
the Entente troops. Though the Entente
diplomats have presented this note there
is no apparent change in Gen. Sarrails
rear. The Greek wireless station con-
tinues to exchange constant messages
with Berlin.

PARIS, Jan. 16.--Gustave Herve says
in La Yiotoire that In the lobby OF the
Chamber the BRAND Ministry. and the
Premier In particular. is being accused
Of being too long suffering with the King
Of the Hellenes The lobby believes that
Constantine is outwitting the Entente
Allies and gaining time while Gen. Won
Falkenhayn, whose name has been long
absent from the Rumanian campaign, Is
leading an army toward Salon!ca.
NJ. Herve questions. however. whether
this gossip IL correct. lie does not think
that Constantine !s shrewd enough 70
outwit BRAND and thinks Il more prob
able that the French Premier is playing
with the pro-German King as ca.
plays with mouse.
He then points out TO those who argue,
"Why not finish Off Constantine once
and forever" the difficulties of such n
policy: the danger of appearing TO treat
Greece as the Germans treated Belgium.
the danger OF bombardlng Athens and
killing the wives and children of Nen-
!zelists who are with the Allies at Sa =
lonica.
However" he concludes. the fifteen
days which King Constantine is al
lowed TO fulfil the utimatum will de-
eide. II Won Falkenhayn comes 20 tho
rescue Constantine will have won. II
within that time, as l believe will hap
