TALK OF TEASE WITH ENGLAND LONDON, Oct tl. The entente powers are bringing all posalble pres sure to bear on Oreece In order to elicit an unequivocal definition ot Its policy toward the other Balkan states and the European belligerents. They have Intimated clearly that on ac count of the geographical position of Greece and Its treaty obligations to Serbia, 1U announced policy of neu trality will be difficult, If not Impos sible to maintain. It haa become a question In the ojm Ion of the allied diplomats of not per mlttlng Greece to continue what Is con sidered an ambiguous policy until their ODDonents In the war are unable to utll lie the neutral position of Oreece to their own advantage. Consider British Offer. Tha Oreek goverment Is now consider ing the British offer of ths Island or Cyprus, which according to an Athena message. British will cede immediately, on condition that ureece joins me al lies. The Russian foreign minister, M. Basen- off has Issued a statement that he con siders the allies Justified in adopting any measures to prevent their enemies from taking advantage ot tha neutral position of a third power. . Ths fleets of the allies already bava established a close blockade of tha Aegean coast of Bulgaria. It has not bean established whether tha Bulgarians have occupied Vryania on the Nlsh-Balonlkl railroad, concerning which there are conflicting reports. It la a fact, nevertheless, that railroad com munication between Nlsh and Uskup has been Interrupted, and It they have at leaat advanceed far enough to Inter rupt traffic, which accomplishes the same purpose. Press are Oa Serbia. The principal pressure on Serbia is now coming from the Bulgarian side. Recent dispatches reveal no further ad vancea of Importance by Field Marshal von Mackenaan's German and Austrian forces. The outstanding features oa the Rus sian front are the continued offensive of the Russians south of the Pripet and ths new German offensive south of Riga. the Utter district the Germans are mak Ing a most determined effort to force the Dvina river, In a country presenting many difficulties to ths invaders. In ths southern area Russian successes have modified the situation radically, and the Austro-German Una from Plnsk Lembsrg Is no longer held securely. to Except for further eetalla of the un successful German attack on British po sitions near Hulluch and on the French front In the vicinity of Rhelms there no news ot Importance from the western front. .
