T.nvplnv Greenbury Wilson Allen, canaiaave ENTRY IN WAR EXPECTED Entente Diplomats Continue Policy of Not Recognizing Existence of New Cabinet Departure From Neutrality Certain. ATHENS, Tuesday, via. London, Sept. 20. There is, reason to believe that the Greek government has sent an ulti matum to Germany and Bulgaria,' ex piring tonight, demanding the imme diate return of the soldiers taken prisoner at Kavala. The diplomatic representatives of the entente powers continue their policy of not recognizing the existence of the new Cabinet of Premier Kalogero poulos by abstaining from paying a formal visit to the new Minister. King Constantine this morning dis cussed the question of furthering dec larations by the new Cabinet in the hope of breaking the silence of the en tente and the resuming of negotia tions for the entrance Into the war. When the Greek seaport of Kavala was entered by German and Bulgarian troops the city was garrisoned by the Fourth Greek Army Corps. According to an official statement issued by Ber lin, the entire corps, consisting of 20, 000 men. asked the German commander for food and shelter and protection against the entente forces. The state ment eaid that to prevent any breach of neutrality the Greek soldiers would be transported to Germany, to be kept there as guests of the nation. The German account of the affair differs radically from that given out at the allied capitals and from stories sent out from Athens. The number ot soldiers transported to Germany, ac cording to these versions, was less than 1000, one account placing the total at 70 officers and 800 men. The -remainder of the garrison is variously said to have been transported to Saloniki by the French authorities and to be en camped on the Island of Thasos. A re cent dispatch from Athens reported th'e arrival of some members of the Kavala garrison in the Greek capital, but no numbers were given. Germans Bitterly Denounced. The incident caused a profound een ration in Greece and the action of the Germans was bitterly denounced by the pro-ally party. Immediately after Pre mier Kalogeropoulos took office news dispatches from Athens said he intend ed to demand the return of the Greek soldiers from Germany and that refusal of this demand would be the signal for the entry into the war of Greece on the eide of the entente. a Reuter dispatch from Athens under date of September 19 says: "It is learned on good authority that this morning's conference of Premier Kalogeropoulos and the oFreign Minis ter with King Constantine resulted in a decision in principle for a departure from neutrality with a view to dissipat ing the entente's apparent distrust of the new Cabinet. Reuter's Telegram Company says it learns officially that the Greek gov ernment has submitted a very urgent note to Germany regarding the removal to Germany of Greek troops from Ka vala and demanding that they be re- ' leased. An official of the Greek Foreign Ot- f ice visited the entente diplomatists at Athens today, says a Reuter dispatch from the Greek capital, and under stood to have requested thera as a mat ter of form to recognize the new Cabi net, adding that the Cabinet would sub sequent.ly resign if such a course were considered inevitable. for Circuit Judge, and John A. Jeffrey also spoke. Henry Scougall and Miss Klippell sang most enjoyame ioios. PIONEER OF 1855 DIES John Welch, Early Walla Wallan Passes at Leavenworth. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Sept. 20. f Special.)
