ATAHEN’S, Aug. til. Rapid diplo
matic developments dining the past
forty eight hours indieate that the
Greek government is about to lay aside
its long continued neutrality and en
ter the war.
Kvidencos that something unusual is
about to develop are seen in the sup
pressed excitement in diplomatic cir
cles and the conferences now being
held between the Greek monarch and
the British and Russian ministers,
both of whom have hern in consulta
tion with Constantine several limes
during the day.
An additional indication that the
nation is about to take up arms is
• furnished in I lie call of the war office
to all staff officers to hold themselves
in readiness for active service.
In both diplomatic and lay circles it
freely prophesied that Greece will
abandon neutrality and enter the war
within forty eight hours, on the side
of l he i ntente allies.
The sudden change in the attitude of
tile king is said to lie due entirely to
the action of the Bulgarians in in
vading (Ireek soil and attacking the
Greek garrisons without provocation
j and if a declaration of war is issued,
il will probably he against Bulgaria
a lone.
The universal belief that the coun
try is about to take up arms on the
sell of the allies has given rise to in
tense rejoicing among the people, the
larger portion of whom are heartily
in sympathy with the entente, fm
promptji celebrations are being held
I throughout the kingdom and the war
I spirit is everywhere apparent.
