(Press Assn. —Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 9. Count Tisza, speaking on Thursday at Budapest said: "We have received the most favourable information from Greece, where things are entirely in our favour. The Greek army has showed marvellous bravery in the Balkan- campaign and is excellently equipped and armed to-day." Count Ti6za's words were greeted with enthusiasm and cheering. They ere regarded as confirming the report that Greece has entered into a solemn pact with the Germanic powers. If Generals Mackensen and Falkenhayn are sent to Macedonia Berlin telegrams predict a diplomatic break between the Entente and Greece within the next few days. The "Daily Telegraph's" Athens correspondent says: Apart from the savage extermination of Venizclists, treachery and insults England and France ought to know of the deliberate insults towards their doplomatic representatives. Mr Rendle (Secretary to the British Legation), and Messrs Brown and Barn wore dragged to the police station and uo apology was forthcoming. The Athenians are in a blue funk an_ are expecting a naval bombardment.
