An Athens despatch to the Petit Journal, says the newspaper or- gans of the Greek government accuse the allies, especially Great Britain, of seeking to drag Greecce into the war by harsh measures. These papers Greece has given sufficient proof that she intends to maintain the policy of benevolent neturality and has had no thought of taking hostile steps. However, she cannot permit transference of the theater of war into her own territory. It is suggested that the measures ta- ken by the allies may result in with- drawal of Greek troops from the fron- tier or even in partial demobilization.
