A high diplomatic personage had an audience at Athens with the King, . when he besought His Majesty to change his policy. “I prefer," replied King Constan tine, "to lose my throne rather than to endanger Greece. I am conrinced that in fifteen days Roumania will exist no more. If Greece went to war then after the conquest of Roumania tha irresistible German forces would be directed against Greece and she would share the fate of Serbia and Roumania." j- The London Times publishes an interview given to its correspond ent with the Roumanian army by the King of Itoumanla in which the monarch appeals to the Allies not to permit his country to suf fer the fate of Serbia and lielglunt. “The Roumanians will not falter,” the King said, "in their allegiance to the cause nor can the enemy wean them from their faith in the Allioa. Yet the Roumanians pray trial in spite of their existing • xlgencies and their own huge problems the Allies will not allow the affairs «f Rou- manU, who has staked her all In this conflict, to pass Into the back tf their minds and to suffer her to meet the fate of either Belgium or Serbia.’’ ALLIED NOTE ON SUBS WATS CAN ENTER PORT Allies Will Extend Aid When.She ' WILSON REFUSES TO ACCEPT; The Entente Allies have again of fered-td assist Greece in case she en ters the war, but it is understood no new coneesslons have been made.

The ene my has almost overnight created a bitterness which has enlisted against him the whole nation, which makes p«a<e without victory an utter Im possibility to Koum.-uta. and (his is the case with every country that en tered the war against the Central Powers. “Notwithstanding the s. vagery with which the enemy has Leen at tacking us and the cruelty with which our defenseless women sod our Innocent little children are being massacred, this government will en deavor to prevent bltternesc from dominating our action in the shape of reprisals egsinst prisoners or de fenseless non-combatants, and to this end orders have been issued to our tpoops that, regardless of previous provocation, those who fall Into our hands shall be treated with kindness, for it is not common soldiers nor in nocent people who must be held re sponsible for the policy adopted by the enemy governments. "The Roumanian government be lieves that acts performed in the present must be of such a nature as to be approved by the generation that follows, which will judge us from a perspective uninfluenced by tie bitterness and chaos of the mo ment. It is in this spirit that the government wished to conduct the war, though the policy of our enemy renders it increasingly difficult to preserve restraint among our troops and our people. “Roumanians will not falter in. their allegiance to the cause, nor can the enemy wean them from their faith in England, the Just; in France, their Latin brother, and In Russia, their Immediate neighbor. “Yet Roumanians pray that in spite of the existing exigencies and of their own huge problems the Allies will not allow the affairs of Rou mania, who staked her all In this con flict, to pass into the back of their minds and suffer that she meet the fate either of Belgium or of Serbia.” King Ferdinand said that Rouma nia had not been moved to enter the war by mere expediency, but that her decision was based on the biggest principles of nationality. “Against Germany," continued his Majesty, “there was, at the beginning of the war, no hostility; rather perhaps friendship, for economically Germany was an asset to the development ef our industry and a poten instrument in forwarding the prosperity of our country.
