The only trouble about its use is
that some people are impetuous and

So far as tires are concerned, and if it

Germans In Athens, for it Indicated
apparently that Bulgaria doea not
fear the allies In the Balkans, and
It tends to strengthen the pro
German view that the allies failed to
deliver the attack because they were
not sufficiently powerful ao to do.
Moreover, all Indications are tbst
the allies are exercising very little
Influence on the course of military
events In the Balkans. '
The embargo which Prance and
England have placed on Greek trade
Is the sole material Influence which
the entente powers have brought to
bear on Greece.
Yet fhls single act, coupled with
Balkan military developments, leaves
King Constantino In a dilemma. The
plight of the 8erbs emphasises the
pro-German belter In Athens that the
Teutons are far ahead In the war.
Yet If Greeco sides with Germany by
Interning Serbians she faces the
prospect 'of having her commerce
ruined by tho allies. . .

OF RED CROSS FLAG
.. Berlin, via Wireless to Sayvllle,
Nov. 20. Charges ot fradulent use
of the Red Cross flag ! by English
transports bound' to the Orient were
made today toy an admiralty official.
"Our submarines wirelessed that
when English ships reached the sub
marine danger tone," he said, "they
drop Red Cross flags over the white
soace painted on the side ot the ves
sel. Seventy English transports pass
ed Gibraltar tor Salonlkl, heavily
laden and painted like hospital ships.
"One can tell whether a vessel is
heavily laden iby the water she draws.
These ships carried to the limit ot
their capacities. Surely England Is
not sending 70 hospital ships to
Greece within a few days. They were
undoubtedly carrying troops and
munitions.
"This ia the blaaest fraud, and It
Is Illustrative of the lengths to which
our enemies will go."
