Purpose in Entering War in Able
and Commendatory Paper.
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.’’

The Entente Allies have again of

ters the war, but it is understood no
new coneesslons have been made. It;

circles of Athens ad/Ued the French
and British chancellories, which are
charged by the other Allied govern-i
ments with the negotiations with|
Greece, to reply to King Constan
tine’s informal proposals to depart
from neutrality, made to the Greek |
ministers in London and Paris on
September 18, in the following
sense:
"While the form in which the pro
posals were made Is unacceptable and
the question of a Bulgarian occup -
tion of Greek soil is considered pure
ly a Greek matter in which the En
tente is not concerned, nevertheless,
should Greece voluntarily abandon
neutrality, declare war on Bulgaria
and decree a general mobilization,
the Entente will be disposed to fur

and to give other material proofs of
benevolent interest in the welfare of
Greece. It Is understood, however,

The government of the United
States has received the identic mem
oranda of the governments of
that these diplomatic assurances are France, Great Britain, Russia and
not to interfere in any way with the
instructions already given the ad
miral of the Allied fleets to assure
by means of all necessary measures
the safety of the Allied armies in the

Among Entente diplomats this is
believed to be the limit of conces

to make to facilitate the entrance of
Greece into the war.

The Gallic was a fifteen thousand
ton steamship, five hundred and sev
enty-four feet long and sixty-four
feet beam. She was built in the
Seine in 1913 and owned by the
Compagnie de Navigation Sud At-
lantique of Bordeaux. She was one
of the largest vessels sunk by sub
marines during the war, having been
only seven hundred tons smaller than
the White Star liner Arabic.
The Gallia’s recent movements
have not been disclosed, as she was
in government service. Early this
year troops were taken to Bizerta,
Tunis, which is south of Cardinia.
The Gallia may have been on her way
from Tunis with troops for the Mace

“Hundreds of women and children
have been killed and mangled as they
walked harmlessly about the streets
of our defenseless cities, in order that
the enemy might exact from the Inno
cent the penalty of a sound and Just
action on the part of the Roumanian
government.
’The effect of these acts has been
such as the enemy might well have
fought battles to prevent. 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. But with the progress of
the war Roumania began to feel th*
subtle force of enemy intrigue en
deavoring in every way to force us
into the struggle against our own
real Interests.
