p!e waa indicated today, following a
meeting of the cabinet and crown
council, at which King Cpnstantlne
presided. '
The terms of the allies' ultimatum
have not been made known. The orig
inal demands made on Greece were
for surrender of her arms, control of
the telegraph and postal systems by
allied officials and guaranty of
Greece's neutrality.
The original demand for disarma
ment was made by the French vice
admiral, Du Fournet. A long period
of. negotiation followed, Du Fournet
finally setting a time limit for com
pliance. Greece made partlal acquiescence,
but further complications intervened
and finally the allies landed troops at
Piraeus, which marched to Athena.
There waa fighting in the outskirts
of the city between these forces and
Greek reservists. The allies alleged
treachery and, as a measure of re
prisal, immediately instituted a block.
aOe of Greece and put a ban on de
parture of Greek shipping from allied
ports. Presumably the reported sur
render to the ultimatum as abova waa
because Greece foresaw being starved
out.
There have been a number of Indi
cations that in the interim between
establishment of the blockade and to
day's reported action. King Constau
ttne has been communicating with
Berlin, possibly with the hope of
throwing bis lot with the Teutonic
allies and affecting a junction of bis

more complicated, according to varying
reports received here
A Keuter dispatch from Athens says
that, as the result of a cabinet council

principle. An earlier dispatch to Paris
said that King Constantino had al
ready accepted the ultimatum. Neith

According to the Petit Pariaien, of

demands to be levied upon Greece,
chief of which la that Greece shall

reported.

Germany. Opponents of the plan,
hold, on the other hand, that it would
be a serious mistake not to meet the
issues raised by Von Bethmann-Holl-weg.
Second That Germany name her
terms on the assumption that these
terms yet to be made known officially,
really may be worth considering an.l
might be considered without damage
to allied prestige.
Third That the allies do not ask
Germany's terms, but detail their own
sentiments as to peace; their terms
and conditions.
Suggestions made In the press of
neutral nations, and particularly de
velopment of such an idea in the
United States, has aided in developing
sentiment for this third course. More
over, it is seen, -by the news from Cfer
many that the government did not ex
pect a favorable response to its prof
fer; therefore England regards the
main purpose of Von Bethmann-HoIN
wegs proposals as manifestly two
fold, to impress neutrals and the Ger
man public.
Opportunity Xs Pointed Oat,
Advocates of the policies of the
allies listing their terms, argue that
in such a situation aa presented now
the entente have a splendid oppor
tunity to put before the outside world,
aa well as the people of Germany
whom they have always believed gen
erally Ignorant of the real Issues of
the war a clear-cut, definite, united
pronouncement of the allies' alms and
purposes.
There was every Indication today
that the allies will adopt this course.
It Is fully expected that Lloyd
George will be sufficiently recovered
frorn his illness on Tuesday to give,
In his speech before tbe house of
commons, a more or less positive
statement of the allies' position.
PRESIDENT DECIDES -TO
CONSULT CABINET
REGARDING PEACE NOTE
Washington, Dec, 15. (I. N 8.)
President Wilson has decided to
seek the advice of his cabinet mem
bers before finally determining the
part the United States will play In
urging the entente allies to accept
Germany's , preliminary ' peace propo
als. The official text of the German note
was received at the state department
yesterday and was sent to the White
Houae as soon as it had been decoded.
During tbe afternoon the Austrian
communication arrived. Bulgaria and
Turkey are yet to be heard from. r'
Other Ventral Batloas Will Join.
It was intimated at the state de
partment that the United Sates would
have the support or Holland, Hweaen,
Norway, Denmark and Switxeriand in
any course which President Wilson
considers wise.
The president's position Is declared
to bave been made most difficult by
the tremendoua pressure which la be
ing brought to bear indirectly by rep
resentatives of the warring factions.
The diplomatic agents and friends of
the entente allies urge that the United
States as a neutral can do no more
than formally transmit the peace of
fer. Representatives of the neutral pow
ers' find support In German circles for
the sincere wish, at least, that Presi
dent Wilson will take the initiative
and urge acceptance of the offer. :
