Paris, Nov. 10. Greece has refused
demands which the allies insisted are
essential to their safety, diplomatic of
ficials admitted today. Moreover, the
nllies are prepared to force compliance
with these demands, while the central
powers will help King Conslnntiue to
insist.
Allied diplomats insist that, inasmuch
is former Premier Vcnizolos counten
anced, and, in fact, invited landing of
allied troops at Salonika, Greece has no
right to threateu, as she has, that the
allies, if forced to flee to Greece for
after Balkan reverses, will be interned.
' If necessary, tho allies' fleets will
be sent to Greece to insure non-interference
by Greece with the Balkan plans,
and, it is hinted, King Constantine may
be uncrowned. At the samo time, the
fleet is distinctly likely to meet strong
resistance from Austro-Germnn under
sea boats, known to bo heading for the
Grecian vicinity.
Meantime, the allies are bringing
pressure to benr upon the king to force
him to alter his attitude. He is being
strongly reminded of his ties to the
entente powers, and it is hoped in the
allied capitals that ho will not defy
these warnings. Germany, however, is
trying to persuade Constantine that he
will be protected if he joins the German
forces.
Denys Cochin, of the French cabinet,
and Karl iKtchener, now in the Island
of Yemnos, supposedly the allies' near
eastern naval base, will see the king
soon.
The allies are convinced that the ma
jority of Greeks favor the allies and
honestly want to help Serbia against
Bulgaria. At tho same time, Constan
tino is pro-German.
The entente powers had asked that
he at least guarantee to give them a
free haad in the Balkans. In answer,
however, ho gave uo promise. The al
lies are under the improssion that he
actually intends to intern any of the
invaders who may be driven out of Ser
bia and Bulgaria into Greece. The pow
ers feel that this course is unreason
able in view of the fact that the expedi
tion was undertaken nt Venizolos' iuvi-
tation. They argue that, inasmuch as
thev have been permitted to go to
Sorbin via Salonika, they should be per
mitted to use the same route out it cir
cumstances compel.
By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for the United Press.)
Now York, Nov. 10. A sudden and
unexpected development in the Balkans,
to which Premier Ascpiith mysterious
ly attributed Earl Kitchenor's trip, has
been revealed as King Constantino's re
solve to intern the allies if they re
tire to Greece from the Balkan fronts.
While Greece consented to tho land
ings of allied forces at Salonika, she
does not want Greece to become a bat
tlefield. Apparently she has notified
the belligerents that, if they carried
tho fighting into Greece, they would
be interned. 1
The situation thus developed is the
result of unprincipled men trying to ruu
alternately with the hare and the
hounds. Greece at first desired the al
lies' presence because she feared
Bulgarian nttack. Yet now she wunts
to keen out of war. Hence, both she
and tho allies find themselves in a
dilemma.
Until doubts as to the benevolence
of Greece are cleared away. Great dan
ger will nttend the development ot any
major offensive in the Balkans with
Greece ns a permanent base.
The allies cannot well rorce opera
tions ou a big scale, running at the
same time the chance of reverses which
would turn them back to Greece and
nt the same time face tho risk that, in
so turning, they would be interned.

This became known today when it

"But what can be done?" comment

After the war started, the allies can

But under treaties with Germany, the

Berlin, Oct. 27. (By mail.) Anoth
German offensive 011 the western
front towards Paris is not oat of the
question.
A year ago General Von Kluck's
army was threatening the French cap
ital, loday it is still the nearest to
Puns but the German offensive ecu
ters in the Balkans. Later it may be nt
tho Suez canal or in Egypt. By spring
perhaps it will havo returned to tho
well plowed battleline in Franco and
uelgium.

day concerning the whole wnr situation
Ho was at his V ilmeredorf villa. His
walk was firm, his thinking clear and
spontaneous. From appearances ho huB

General," I asked, "how lone will
me war lastT"
We wero walking in his garden and
he stopped to rcnlv.
''As long as Krigiand is able to fiirht
and as long as America sends ammuni
tion the war will continue. Tho un
successful French nnd English offen
sive this month was a question of am
munition. This war has developed into
a munition contest. It is the world 'b
markets against the central powers."
"Can tho western lino bo broken!
"You see in the papers every day.
said the general, "that the nllies are
trying tho break our hue but they don't
succeed. During their October offensive
they lost 180,000... We lost about a fifth
as many. Do you think any army can
afford such losses to win a milo of
landt"
The general's five year old grand
daughter accompanied us on our walk
She clutched her grandfather's hand
and trcqueutly interrupted tho conver
sation with remarks concerning the
general's pet black dog, Toddy.
"Which is our popular nnme for one
or our popular ex-presidents," I re
marked. "You mean Roosevelt," said
the general, "I thought ho was a
great man. He was a good president,
wasn't het But today 1 cannot under
stand why ho takes such a determined
stand against Germany. Surely no Am
erican president ever tried so hard to
make his country go to wnr. I am glad
he did not succeed. I have many good
rrienos in America mnny 1 do no

kuow personally a few of your army of
ficers. Tliey are fine men. This week
I had a letter from one of them, ask
ing me for a photograph and a state
meat for some army publication, I sent
both and hope they reach him."
Here we wore interrupted by nn or
derly, who, saluting, said the little girl
was wanted in the house.
"Good bye, my dueling," said tho
general, adding to me, "She is the
daughter of my son who was killed in
Franco, January 28."
"Does tlie Serbiun enmpnign bring
the war any nearer to an endf " 1 asked
presently,
"The war's duration depends on how
long the English are able to fight and
ou American ammmiinition," repented
the general. "There is no doubt that
American ammunition is prolonging It.
And now the nllies are raising an en
ormous loan In the United States. I sec
no end to the fighting yet."
"Slmll you return to the front t"
I Inquired.
"That depends on his majesty," said
the general.
But it is my Impression that it. de
pends on whether or not the general
staff decides on another drive to
Paris.
"Why," I ssked, "did tho Germans
fail to capture Parist"
"The French maintain," snld Von
Kluck, "that it was doff re's strategy.
When the war Is over , wo can discuss
that but not during tho wnr."
"One of Marshal Von Ilindetiburg's
officers told me," I remarked, "that
it was because the Russian Invasion of
East Prussia calls so many men to the
west."
The general's reply I am not permit
ted to give but I nm convinced that
this In his opinion was tho correct ex
planation. Gcner al Von Kluck does not look hi"

Now York, Nov. 10. Counsel for
Robert Fay, and Walter Scholz, alleged

ground that statutes cited attempted

Fay, following his five hour confes
sion of yesterday, announced that ho
would not plead guilty, as ho under
stood that he would only get two years'
sentence if he confessed, where ho is
now informed that he might get 12
years.
Confession Typewritten.
New York, Nov. 10 Officials had
before them today a typewritten con
fession, gathered in five hours' ques
tioning yesterday of Robert Fay, con
fessed bomb plotter. It was admittedly
disappointing. It did not lead to any
high German or Austrian diplomatic or
consular officials as fellow plotters,
nor did it divulge any "higher ups" as
financial backers of Fay's plan to
destroy munitions ships, bound for tho
allies.
Fay, however, stands ready to plead
guilty and to start his sentence at
once.
Meantime officials are investigating
further stories that have tended to im
plicate hieli foreign government of
ficers in plans to check American prod
uction of munitions for the enemies of
tho central powers.

After robbing the bar, the buudits
arc believed to have hidden in the lo

minutes nhead of tho train. As the
freight Blowed down, the officers threw
searchlights on tho bandits, who wero
entrenched in a pile of machinery on a
flat car.
Tho bandits answered the command
to surrender with a ruin of lead. The
eldei of the two men was struck down
with a charge of buckshot and three
pistol bullets aftetr he had fired several
wild shuts nt the posse. Une or the
bullets carried nwuy his trigger finger.
When the posse reached li i ill he was

The other bandit leaped from the cn

An examination of his pistol showed
that a shell had jammed it.
The local posse, augmented by Con
