THE PLOT WAS DIS
COVERED IN TIME
Would Have Prevented Assistance
Being Sent To the Serbs
(By Wireless)
TURIN, Oct. 14—Advices from
correspondents of the local paper:
say that the ministers of the entente
powers have notified the Greek gov ,
emment that it was the intention
to laud an expeditionary force of
some seventy thousand men. This
was followed by the discovery that
Austrian agents were watching the
landing carefully and that they
claimed to know the exact position
of the force.
It is said that Mr. Diamantides
the Greek minister of communication
by his prompt action, prevented a
possible disaster at the very begin
ning of the movement. Continuing,
one of the correspondents says:
“When the landing began three rail
ways out of Salonika n-oro in
hands of the Austro-German employ
ees who had received strict instruc
tions from Berlin to obstruct th«
movement by every possible means.
“Rumors to that effect soon spread
which lead Mr. Diamantides to rush
to Salonika, where he seized con
trol of the railroads and discharged
all the German employees.”
The cars in which the allied troops
are being transported inland, have
just been received from America.
