GREEK SCHEME TO ATTACK THE ALLIES

CONSTANT!! PREPARED FOR A SIEGE WEEK-END BATTLE .';■;■'>6n the somme ■'.. ' ♦ ' THE FIGHT FOR LE TRANSLOY ITALIAN ONSLAUGHT CONTINUES •'. . '• i . .■'■ • • Joootßfijg "To semi-official reports from Paris to-day the official • communiques last week were too modest. We'are now told (semi-cffi- ; dally) that the latter end of last week witnessed a grim battle for the possession of Le Transloy, and .that the battle still continues. . The fall of Le Transloy will compel the abandonment of a Btrong strategical line, and leave Bapaume at ifco mercy of the British. Two brilliant attacks by the French have carried our Ally's line north-east of Ablaincourt. The Italian offensive in the Trentino and .." the Carso continues to develop with fresh gains in territory and position. /Austria is beginning to evince alarm for the'safety of Trieste, and is reported to have removed the archives and treasures of the'■ city to Vienna. The sensation of the day is the exposure of a Greek Royalist plot to' stab the Allies in the back. Constantine, whose palace has assumed the aspect of a beleaguered fortress, had plotted, so we are told, to bring off both a military'and naval coup, but the Allies were warned in time, and nipped the scheme in the bud. The^Rumanians are still feeling the pressure of the GermanBulgar offensive, but the enemy is not having all his own way, as may be'judged from a sentence in the Bucharest dispatches. The situation on the Russian frorat is the subject of an interesting review by the Petrograd correspondent of tho "Observer." According to Mm, Brusiloff has been obliged to mark time until the pressure on Rumania has been relieved. 1 •. • ■ ' v
