GREECE MUST DECIDE I GREECE MUST DECIDE I Entente Demand. I AN EARLY ANSWER EXPECTED I .Q. I -'J I Bulgars at Monastir (Passed for Publication). I Copenhagen, Friday. German papers regard it as a certainty that the Allies have presented Greece with; an ultimatum. The inference, to be drawn from the articles appearing in the German Press is that the time has now arrived when Greece will be compelled by circumstances to join ill the war. Information from Rome declares that the Entente Powers have presented a de- marche to the Government at Athens de- manding the demobilisation of the Greek army or its removal from Salonika. Mr. R. Mackenzie, the Rome oerreepon- dsnt of the Daily News and Leader," telegraphed the following important mes- sage on Thursday Although for obvious reasons it is im- possible to divulge particulars of Italy's participation in the Balkan War by an- nouncing beforehand whether she will send troops, to the Egean or land them in Albania, I am authorised to state that the necessary preparations have been com- pleted, and before long proof will be afforded of Italy's eo-operation in add of Serbia, which will probably be the more effective now it is needed. Meanwhile, another proof will shortly ba afforded that no distinction is made bere between Germany and Austria, which are both equally considered Italy's enemies, despite the fact that Germany not xrt declared war. I am allowed to say that Italy is destined to play a supremely important role in the forthcoming developments. According to information from a dip- lomatic source, the result of the Entente I Powers demarche in Athens is not expected to be known till to-morrow or Saturday, but immediate action is certain to follow. the Allies will not tolerate the riijrhtest delay. I Wireless news from Salonika states that 'he situation in Serbia is critical, but nol iesperate, provided joint energetic action I is taken at once. ANSWER EXPECTED TO-DAY. I Rome, Thursday.—The Athens corre I ipondent of the t. Tribuna" states that definite answer by Greece to the Allies is expected to-morrow. It is supposed that Greece will discon- tinue her policy of procrastination under ,x)warful pressure from the Allies, and it is believed that Italy's proposed interven iion has been instrumental in effecting Greece's decision.—Exchange.

DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT -0 NOVELIST'S ACT SWALLOWS POISON ON LOSING HER CASE A great sensation was caused in the King's Bench Division on Friday morning when judgment was entered for defen- dants, Messrs. W. H. Smith and Sons, in the action brought against them by Miss Annesley Kenealy, the well-known novelist, for damages for alleged false and malicious statements defamatory of her book, A Water Fly's Wooing." When Mr. Justice Coleridge entered judgment for defendant, Miss Kenealy stood up and emptied the contents of a small phial down her throat. My lord," said she, I told you you were trying a woman for her life. I have taken enough poison to kill five people." She immediately collapsed, and a doctor was sent for, but Miss Kenealy, who ap- peared to be unconscious, was carried from the court by an usher, and placed upon a bench in the corridor. Lite May Be Saved. A lady companion attempted to restore her, but Miss Kenealy appeared to sink into unconsciousness, and she was removed to all adjoining room. After some delay, a doctor passina along the Strand was brought in, and attended to Miss Kenealy. lie adminis- tered an emetic, and she afterwards re- covered sufficien tly to be removed to Cliaring Cross Hospital.

THE MAYORS APPEAL THE MAYORS APPEAL Money Wanted to Supply Soldliers at Bedford. The Recreation Committee for the troops in the borough of Bedford, which has done a great deal to give Welsh soldiers a pleasant time during many months, suggests that a Christmas meal of roast beef and plum pudding, mince pies, cigarettes, etc., followed by an even- ing's entertainment, be provided for the Welsh Division there, and thinks that the folk at home in Wales will h&lp with the money (about .£1,000). Last year a similar entertainment was given to the Highland Division in Bed- ford. and the people of Scotland sent over £ 1,000. Brigadier-General R. B. Mainwaring, C.M.G., has cordially approved the scheme, and I very gladly appeal to the citizens of Swansea for contributions to- wards this Christmas treat for our "boys" who are in training a way from their own people. Quite an army of voluntary workers in Bedford are all the time providing recrea- tion for the leisure hours of our Terri- torials, doing their washing and mending, finding them hot baths, and generally pro- moting their welfare, and I have no doubt we in Wales shall be able to help our brothers in a Christmas festivity. Dona- tions should be sent to me at the Town Hall, and will be acknowledged in the Press- (Signed) T. MERRELLS, Mayor.

MISS CAVELLS DEATH i MISS CAVELL'S DEATH, i j NURSE'S STORY OF THE TRACEDY IN I BRUSSELS I NOBLE WOMAN'S DEATH Amsterdam, Thursday (received Friday). —Among a number of English women who arrived here to-day from Brussels were I three who lived in the Nurse Cavell Nurs- ing Home, one being Miss Wilkins, whose official position was that of sister in the Home. They related to me the circumstances of Miss Cavoil's arrest. It was preceded by repeated visits of Germans to the Home I enquiring how many Englishmen were there. These visits began two or three months before the arrest. The German said the house would be watched. They questioned the nurses, who all denied tha. Englishmen had been there. The Germans returned occasionally to try to obtain facts, and questioned Nurse Caveil's ser- vants, opened the desk, and searched everywhere for papers, but never found anything. Meantime Miss Wilkins had been questioned and made to sign a paper stating she had not seen or known some man who had been there. The German" Evidence." I It appeared that this man had made a signed statement that he had staved at the Home for a day or two, and was one of twenty who crossed the frontier with a guide from the Home. Subsequently the Germans arrested Miss Cavell and Mis- Wilkins, but the latter was released, not being considered responsible for anything that occurred. About five in the morning of Tuesday, the 12th, Miss Wilkins, with another nurse, went to inquire if they could see Miss Cavell. On arriving at the prison they saw two motor cars, the first of which, they subsequently learned, contained Miss Cavell. Miss Wilkins just missed seeing Miss Cavell as she passed out to the car. Mias Cavell's friends at the Nursing Home afterwards heard that she left the cell that morning perfectly calm and self-possessed, and that at the place of execution, in accordance with her own request, her eye? t were not blindfolded and her hands not I bound.

CHILD ALLOWED TO DIE I CHILD ALLOWED TO DIE I 'I Chicago Coroner Approves Doctor's Action. Chicago, Thursday.—The newly-born son of Mrs. Allen Ballinger, who refused to permit the carrying out of an opera- tion on the child, died last night. The authorities decided that they were power- less to interfere, though they were be- sought by hundreds of women and others to compel the operation to be made. The authorities generally agreed with Dr Haeselden and the child's parents that it would be wiser to let the child die rather than to condemn it to life-long idiocy. The Coroner, Mr. Ward, who investi- gated the case to-day, reported approving this decision, and apparently all the best medical opinion supports Dr. Haesel- den. Both he and the coroner, however, have received many letters containing threats, and accusing them of mnrder. The newspapers to-day print numerous interviews with mothers of defective children, and practically every one en- dorses the decision of Mrs. Ballinger.
