enine the morale of its soldiers and
people.
Poland's request was given serious
consideration at the State Depart
ment and it was expected a decision
would not be long delayed. Mean
time officials refrained from discuss
ing it.
Arguments for American support
presented by the Polish legation sci
forth the incongruity of the United
States abandoning the reuubllc whose
establishment it has so much to DO
Representatives of the legation de-
clared that while the situation OF
their country had been made des,
perate by the enormous weight OF the
Russian forces, it was no' yet TOO
late to avert disaster and tnat an ex-
preston of support and sympathy

aid.
i was believed in some quarters
that neither Great Britain nor
France would enter their partlclpa'

very small forces but, II was argued
even the entrance of division OF

stimulate the Poles to greater act!V'

Athens, July 25.-Greece is
giving the first proofs of her war
ability by breaking the strength of
the Turks in Thrace and along the
Asia Minor coast. They are march
ing on Adrianople, in European
Turkey, but hope when they attack
the city to avoid the destruction of
the famous mosques, which in past
engagements have escaped the ar
tillery.
The war against Turkey is a popu-
lar one because Turkey is Greece's
ancient enemy and there is the pos.
sibility of vastly enlarging Grecian
territory. It will, however, create
greater conflicts of interest with
Bulgaria.
1t is known that the French do not
look with particularly friendly eye
on the loss of their oriental sphere
to the British who are actively sup.
porting the Greeks. According to
the Greek foreign Office Premier
Venizelos reached satisfactory
understanding with the Italians who
were originally promised Smyrna by
the treaty of st. Jean de Mauri-
enne. But after Greece entered the
war on the side of the allies through
the provisional government of
Venizelos the Italians informed the
Greeks that they would get Smyrna.
The proposition for awarding
Thrace to Greece was made by Pre-
mier Venizelos at the peace confer
ence to which it is affairmed Presi-
dent Wilson made no objection.
Later, however, he accepted the
Bulgarian viewpoint that Bulgaria
should have the seaport of Deadea-
Catch, with Thrace as an interna-
tional state. Italy then expressed
unwillingness that Thrace should be
allotted to Greece unless Italy re-
ceives Smyrna and Adala.
Eventually Venizelos conceded
the Italian claims 70 Albania. and
the allan foreign minister, Signol
TatoGi, yielded the Dodeoanese is
lands. except Rhodes, which he pro-
missed to abandon when the British
gave up Cyprus.
1t IS pointed out that the Bulrars
have been provided with rights to
trale with, t'::e Jugo-slvs at sa!o'
niki.
