Under existing conditions it becomes

purpose of establishing a constitu
tional form of government. .There is
no mistaking she meaning of the pres

of Immunity from attack by othe
Balkan powers before giving furthef
consideration to the question of Join
ing the allies. Part of the Greek army
has been mobilised since the outbreak
ft war, snd has been in constant train
ing. Should King Constantino and hi
cablmet finally decide to - enter th
conflict, it 1 understood part of the
Greek army and -the entire pavy
would be used to aid the allies in the
Dardanelles.
Roumanla renounced a secret treaty
with the triple alliance two years ago,
and alnce Nthen '.has accepted a large
lan from England. Nevertheless, the
government is waiting to see which
side in the present, conflict will offer
the most for Its support and also en
r.t?r to determine which Is moil
likely to win. Roumania's first step,
if she should join the allies, would
be an invasion of Transylvania.
j Bulgaria la an enigma. Uncertainty
as to . the position of the Bulgarian'
government -is keeping Greece out of
the War. Serbia haa alao been forced
to keep 60,000 , men on the Bulgarian
