GREECE'S PITIABLE PLIGHT
SACRIFICED BY ANTI-VENEZELISTS
LONDON, August 20. The Daily telegraph's Athens correspondent states that the Italians' occupation of Palermo aad the expulsion of the Greek officials passed unnoticed by Greece. Though their kingdom is falling around them the antiVenezelists care for nothing except the extermination of Venezelos, and are ready to welcome Bulgar or Turk, provided they help them to attain their own object. Wheat parcels collapsed, having fallen at the close at the renewed talk of the, prospects of opening the Dardanelles, combined with increased shipments. .French newspapers assert that Italy's declaration is not the result of chance, or even the completion of military, economic, and political preparation. The moment was chosen that would give the step the maximum moral effect when the Central Powers were everywhere pressed and when signs were not wanting that Germany was commencing to look more to herself than to her allies.
