Show CLASH AT ATHENS. Former Premier Venizelns having de-dared de-dared war on the Bulgarians and taken the field with his volunteer army, it now begins to look as though the Greeks who are supporting King Coristantine might be forced into war with the entente en-tente allies, as the latter are landing troops at Piraeus and clashes have taken place in the streets 'of Athens. It is no doubt the iutcntion of Great Britain and France to prevent any aid from reaching the central powers from Greek sources, and as King Cons tan tine has been an object of suspicion almost since tho outbreak of the war the present attitude at-titude of the entente allies toward him is not in the least surprising. From present indications allied occupation of Greece appears inevitable, buj the Greeks will 'not suffer like the Belgians, Serbians aid Montenegrins haye suffered, suf-fered, or like the Rumanians are now suffering. If the Greeks submit to the demands of the French admiral there will be no bloodshed and the country will not suffer the horrors of war, aud it may bo truthfully said that they are not in position to put up, much of a fight if they attempt to resist. |
