This de velopment, coming as one of the climaxes to successive re- perts of mutinies and unrest, many I which have been substantiated and admitted by the British Government, is said to be 2 leading reason for Earl Kitchener's departure from England Greece's Behaviour Bad.

Rowmania Cannot Intern Russian Torpedo Boats--Warships . Using Danubian Island Called No Man's Land For Their Base. ; London, Nov. 9 "Continued neutrality" is the answer spent Pre- | mier Bratiano, of Roumania, by the | members of the Roumanian Parlia- ment to his enquiry as to what in their judgment is the wisest course for the kingdom to pursue. A de- spatch to this effect was received here from Bucharest yestérday. The Premier is holding individual confer- IN ences with the Parliament members | in order to gain a clear insight into the population's attitude prior to the coming Session of the chamber. While the above view was expressed by | those he has interviewed so far, the Premier has not yet completed his enquiries and he may still hear dif- ferent views.

Rome learns from Bucharest that the Roumanian Government, despite formal demands on the part of Aus- trian and Germany, is powerless to seize and intern the crews of the three Russian torpedo boats in the Danube, which are threatening to at- tack Austrian lighters and.to convey ammunition to Vidin for a possible | Russian attack on' Bulgaria. It is explained that the torpedo boats are | using for their base a Danubian is- land called No Man's Land, situated opposite the city of Kalafatu. The danger of a Ministerial crisis | in Roumania has been definitely averted, according to thé Bucharest | correspondent of the Corriere della Sera, says a Milan despatch. Before the sea route, only sure road for mili- tary supplies, is again opened. the correspondent says, Roumania would consider it suicidal to intervene.
