Sept 6. An extraordinary secret session of the Greek Cabinet wot called lalo Monday afternoon by Premier Zalmls and lasted nearly nil night. He- ports arc In general circulation that n. declaration of war against Bulgaria wan presented by the Premier and npproved by his colleagues. LONDON. Sept. 5. Tho entrance of Greece Into the world war Is only a matter of days. Her neutrality Is a thing of the past. A new dictator has arisen. Hjr King and Venlzelos, her leading stateman, no longer have anything to say Alexander Zalmls, who holds tho portfolio of Premier, has seized the reins of power. Unprecedented scenes aro taking place In the streets of Athens. Citizens of na tions with which Grccco Is nt peace aro being hunted down by armed detachments of foreign soldiers and locked In tho brigs of Allied warships. An official of tho Aus trian Legation was shot whlla riding In his automobile by British agents pursuing an other machine. Tho seizure of power by -nlmln Is one of the greatest political coups accomplished In years. His entire liana was piayeu ue neath the table, nnd It is only now that tho nation is awakening- to tho fact that Its fate rests In his hands. Zalmls holds complete power, lie can do what he will without parliamentary ques tioning or the embarrassment-) of public opinion. Zaimis made tho first public move In his well-planned campaign last Wednesday At that time lie lisued a decree forbidding a contemplated political gathering by the people. Two days later ho disposed of any danger of parliamentary Interference throue.li the Issue of n decree dissolving the national body. Parliament had been adjourned, nnd elections will now be neces sary beforo a new Parliament can sit. Then began n series of conferences with tho Venlzclists and iintl-VcnlzellBtc as a result of which Zalmls succeeded In obtain ing declarations of approval nnd support from both parties. He thereby gained for his Cabinet the complexion of a representa tive body approved by alt factious. Ills hands aro now free. Behind the ithuttcred windows of his office he may take thoso measures which will plunge the nation Into war within nn hour. The Constitution has been, to nil Intents nnd purposes, com pletely set uslde. And nil this was dono while the pcoplo of Athens were watching the street sights nfforded by the arrest of Germans und Austrlans by French and British sailors. RUSSIAN PRESSURE ON FOE'S RIGHT WING IN (i ALICIA "WINS; TEUTONS UNABLE TO RESIST LONDON, Sept. C Tho Russian offen sive In Gallcla continues to win. Yester day's official reports Indicate that the pres sure on von Bothmcr'n forces along tho upper Zlota Llpa Is steadily Increasing. The fiercest lighting Is south of Brzezany, on tho Austrlans' right Hank. Tho Russians smashed through tho enemy's lines yester day, crossed tho Thcnlovka River, a west ern tributary of the Zlota Llpa, nnd over whelmed a strong position on tho northern bank. In these operations I.etchltsky'8 troops captured 2721 prisoners. Apparently tho Austrlans, however they may bo stiffened by German nnd Turkish troops and officers, aro no better able to stand tho Bharp blows of tho Russian ham mer than In lato spring nnd early summer. It Is not so much tho territory won by tho Russians that shows this, as tho enormous number of prisoners. Between Thursday and Sunday, 10,405 fell to Brusalloffs nrmy alone, according to Petrograd. On tho northern rim of tho Lemberg arc tho Russian pressure Is also continuing, particularly between Zborow nnd Zlochoff, but counter-attacks enabled the Teutons to cling to their lines today. South of tho Stokhod, In tho vicinity of Vladimir Volyn skl, desperate battles nre In progress, tho outcome of which Is still In doubt. I.nst night German statement says: Prlnca Leopold's front: Repeated Russian efforts west and southwest of Lutsk resulted In complete failure. North of Zborow our troops maintained tho reconquered ground against sev eral strong Russian attacks. Front of Archduke Charles: East nnd southeast of Brzczany tho battle continues. Local Russian successes generally were outbalanced by our counter-attacks. Tho clearing of soma trenches Is yet In progress. In tho Carpathians fighting continues bouth of Zlclona. Russian attacks southwest of Zablo In the Magura sector and north of Doinaratra failed. Tho Austrian report of last Sunday reads: Southeast of Brzezany yesterday Beveral Russian advances failed. To day (Sunday) tho enemy began n now attack. The Lawn Fix up now the bare spots by sowing Mfchell's Evergreen Grass Seed, and it will have a beautiful green, velvety appearance next spring.
