guarantees for the safety of the
Anglo-French forces landed st
Sslonikl. or for th 1 1 of the Serbians
who might be forced over tbe Oreek
frontier. One dispatch from Athens,
however, say the Greek cabinet la
disposed to accept the coodltlona laid
down by the entente powers, except
that condition requiring Greece to
participate in the war and that a
solution of the whole difficulty may
be expected Immediately.

It la reported, is participating in th
measures of restraint decided upon.

said, are asking Rumania to give as
surance of her continued neutral-'".

the side of the Teutonic allies. With
a big Russian army in Basssrabls,

here that the firm attitude of th

There la little news of Import
ance from sny of the other fronts.
The Italians, by their continued
offensive are strengthening their
positions around Uorixla, which It Is

more active In Flanders and I ham
pagnn, which on previous occasions
haa been the algnal for offensive
movements. The Russians since they
regained the ground they Inst the
