Churchill has been severely castogated by the press of Greal
Britain, and several of the huge blunders of the war have beer
attributed to his administration of First Secretary of the Navy

(that was sent by the admirality to Antwerp before the German?
itook the city, which resulted in the internment of the British
marine expedition in Holland, whither it was forced to flee tc
escape capture- Churchill has also been blamed for the il
success of the allied venture in'the Dardanelles, having advo

Greece Alarms Allies
——
LONDON, Nov. 13—Great uneasiness is being felt in all
the allied capitals over the attitude of Greece towards the en
tente powers. The safety of the French and British expedi
tionary forces in Serbia almost absolutely depends upon the
continuation of tin* present policy of benevolent neutrality
! which Greece has assumed, for if Greece should decide to be
! absolutely neutral and forbid the transportation of troops and
i supplies over the railroad from Saloniki, the problem of the
: Balkans would be intensified a hundred fold. The German
military mission to Roumania and Gr,‘0(‘e hns arrived at Athens
coming via Bulgaria and Saloniki, and has been received by the
king and premier. The rumors that Greece is turning towards
the Teutons is growing more and more persistent, and the cor
dial reception given the Teuton Mission by the Greek govern
ments is causing considerable apprenhension among the allied
dipiomatic representatives.
