(Press Association.) THE LOGICAL REPLY TO GREECE

TREAT HER AS AN ENEMY (Received October 18, 9 a.m.) LONDON, 17th October. Ihe Morning Post says that the simple position is that Greece pledged herself to defend Servia if the latter were attacked by Bulgaria. That position has arisen, and Greece has to make good or break her word. In the latter case, no one will henceforth make a treaty with Greece. "These are desperate times," says the Post, "and it is absolutely necessary to know who are our friends and who are our enemies. If Greece refuses to fight on our side, the navies of the Entente must treat her as an enemy and blockade the Greek coast The seizure of Greek shipping and all the Greek islands will be the logical reply to a refusal to assist Servia." FEELING OF DISTRUST DEVELOPING. (Received October 18, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, 16th October. A strong feeling of distrust of Greece is developing, especially since the refusal by M. Zaimis of Servia's appeal under the treaty to resist Bulgaria. The Times says : "Time passes in the Balkans, yet the Allies are without a clear and definite knowledge of the intentions of Greece. It is imperative to learn without delay if Greece is with us or against us. It is impossible for the Allies to acquiesce in the disingenuous interpretation 1 of M. Zaimis. It Is a perfectly plain obligation upon Greece to announce her decision now in no uncertain voice, and to remember that her decision will be irrevocable." M. VENIZELOS SPEAKS PLAINLY. (Received October 18, 11.20 a.m.) PARIS, 16th October. The Matin's Athens correspondent says that M. Venizelos, in an interview, said : "Nobody desirea more than I the early *nd complete bucccss of the Allies, Nobody is more firmly convinced of their final triumph."
