GREECE DISILLUSIONED.
LONDON, February 11. Mr Ward Price, writing from Salonika, pays the Provisional Greek Government have received information that the Kaiser sent a significant message to King Constantine, telling him that Germany cannot co-operate or come to Constantine's aid against the Allies in Macedonia. The message concluded: “ All I ask of you now is that you shall keep your throne.” Mr Price continues: “This message sounds like the dirge of Germany’s scliemes, which were undoubtedly active a few weeks ago, making an attempt at co-operation with the Greeks to clear the Balkans of the Allies. It also explains the facility with which Constantine is troops to the Peloponnesus. “It is evident that Germany contemplates intriguing with Greece after the war in the belief that Greece’s long indented constline, in a position at the very gates of Egypt, may be of immense strategic xalue. It is the business of the Venezelists to counter such plans.”
