ALLIES FORGING GREECE
TO MAKE A DECISION
A P. A. Service.
LONDON. Oct. 22.—All Indications
today point to a rapid conclusion of
t Do issue with Greece over the Inde
terminate attitude of that nation and
i n evident intention to force the Greeks
to come to some definite understand
iu is visible In every diplomatic inter
change between the allied powers.
It is pointed out that owing to the |
developments in the Ralkans the Greek
to; cos in arms are a continual menace
to the allied expedition now being sent
to tile aid of Serbia and a final deter
mination of wliat the nation tnt3nds to
do is therefore an Imperative necessity.
It Is even hinted that the allies may
resort to force in order to compel the I
Greeks to decisive action one way or j
the other. Significant of this Is the fact j
that, although a strict silence is be
ing maintained by the foreign office, the
government permitted the transmission
of a dispatch from Home today which
stated that if Greece refused to Join
the allies or demobilize her army the
entente di et would proceed to bombard
the Greek coast.
The dispatch says that action of this
character is being freely discussed in
government circles In the Italian cap
ital. The Home message adds that
Greece must choose and choose rapidly
whether she will Join the allies or not.
GREECE REJECTS
BRITISH OFFER
* A ° A. Service
l/iXDON, Oct. 22.—Greece hag def- '
laliely rejected the offer of Great Brl- ■
tala to cede the Island of Cyprus as a ;
reward for entering the war on the ,
side of the entente powers, according
to an official announcement today. It
is said that the refusal was based on
the desire of that nation to remain
neutral. The tender of the Island has
been the cause of considerable adverse
comment from the press, because of a
seeming desire to bribe the Greek na
tion Into becoming an ally. The ma
jority of the papers express the opin
ion that an ally that mu3t be bought i
Is hardly worthy of dependence.

WILSON URGED TO
VISIT THE PANAMA
A P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—Friends of
the president are strongly urging him
to combine business with pleasure by
visiting the Panama canal on his hon
eymoon trip. Owing to the many de
velopments incident to the great war
the executive has had no opportunity
o visit the great waterway since his
election and it is pointed out that the
occasion of his trip may be partial'y
employed for that purpose. It was the
intention to visit the canal last win
ter but all possibilities in this regard
were forestalled by the incidents at
tending the strained situation with the
Cierman government. It is believed that
the president will accede to the pro
posal.
