BALKANS.
GREEK BLOCKADE LIGHTENED. PEOPLE STRONGLY PRO-ALLY. GERMANY NERVOUS. Athens, June 11. The Allies have allowed a number of Greek vessels to leave port. The Allies' action was actuated by the differences between the public and the Government. The people are strongly pro-Ally. Copenhagen, June 11. A message from Berlin says that newspapers are pessimistic and fear Greece will no longer be able to avoid being drawn into the war. There is great nervousness in Greek Government circles. Greek newspapers declare that the Government negotiations after 50 hours failed to achieve a peaceful solution. Salonika, June 11. It is estimated that half the army has been demobilised. The soldiers returning to their homes are profusely grateful to the Allies and declare that they would prefer fighting alongside the Anglo-French against their hereditary enemy. An eventual Parliamentary dissolution is likely when the released' soldiers are able to express their political opinions and elect a Parliament which will obey the'wishes of the majority of the people.
