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.

Same Plane by Dr. Grler.
Dr. A. C. Grler, of Spokane, was the
speaker at last night's conference held
by the Societies of the Truth of Port

'Bitulithic Cement" Must Be Used,
Sa3-s City Attorney.
Where "bitulithic cement" is called
for in specifications for paving, it
means cement produced and trade
marked by Warren Brothers Company,
and must be used, according to ' an
opinion given the City Council yester
day by City Attorney LaRoche. Al
though a cement that has identical
physical properties may be on the mar
ket, he says, it cannot be used unless
it has the bitulithic trademark as long
as the specifications call for the use
of "bitulithic cement."
The question came up In connection
with the paving of East Tenth street.
where a contractor attempted to use a
cement said to have the same physical
properties as bitulithic cement, but
which did not have the trade name.
