(Special to the Guardlan.)’ LONDON, Dec. 2.-italy through
her foreign minister, Baron Sonnino, has announced her adherence to the treaty of London, whereby the Allied Powers undertake not to conclude a separate peace and at the same time has declared her intention of sending help to the Serbian army in the Bal- kans. This news ls the most import- ant for some days and it is believed here will go far to clear the situation, especially in Greece, where negotia- tions are still proceeding between King Constantine, and his cabinet and
itente. The_se negotiations have been ,protracted owing to Greece’s unwil- lingness to allow the Allies free use of railways and the right to police Greek waters against submarines. ,They are not yet completed. but tho |latest advices indicate that they are likely to end in complete satisfaction to the Entento Powers. Assurance that Italy, as well as Great Britain, France and Russia, is to give military support to the Serblans ln their efforts to regain lost territory is making the case for Greek assistance stronger.
BALKAN SITUATION
IS BRIOHTENING
lialy Will Noi Make Separate Peace and is Sending
R Troops io llelp Serhians.
Otherwise the situation in the Balkans remains unchanged. The Serbians still bold Monastir. but their position is almost hopeless, as the Bulgarians have cut communications between that city and the Greek frontier and the Serbian troops. Still they must let the army of the north retreat into Albania when pressure becomes too strong. There is a report that the Russians have crossed the Roumanian border and are marching through that Icountry to Bulgaria. This, however, ilacks confirmation. Such a. movement is hardly likely to occur unless' Rou-
the ministers of the Quadruple En-imania ave her permission which
E » would be tantamoullt to joining the Allies. Another report credits the Russians with diverting their Bess- 'arabian army toward Galicia, where a. big offensive is to be undertaken. This, likewise. is unconfirmed. On other fronts, Italian. French and Russian, artillery bombardmcnts are the order of the day. British, French and Bel- gian guns have been particularly active, also airmen in Flanders, and German positions have been given rather a severe battering. British monitors took part in these operations, suggest-
ing that this may be the poillt where

PETROGRAD, Dec. 2.-The follow-

The Germans were completely surprised and fied, leaving behind a. hundred' killed or wounded. On the left bank of the Styr the enemy was driven back towards the south-west of Khriask. The rest of the front is without change.
PARIS, Dec. 2.-Despatchcs from
Saloniki and Florena. Greece, forward- ed by way of Athens and Rome, say that arrangements have been made for the surrender of Monastir. it is said a commissloll consisting of the Greek Consul. the Serbian Metropolitan and the Mayor of Monastir, has been ap- pointed to negotiate terms of surrender with German and Bulgarian represen- tatives.
` TALK UI PIIIII
(Special tothe Guardian.)
NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-There is still
a good deal of talk in the neutral press about peace, based on reports from Germany on the activity of Socialists and from Austria on the dissatisfac- tion there of alleged German attempts to take control of the internal admini- Btri1ti0il. as has been the case in mill- tary affairs. It is considered signifi- _csnt that all the new Austrian mem- bers are men with German leanings, which is thought to mean that the German party has been successful.

The matinee performance was St Elmo, Miss Marjie Adams tak- ing the part of Edna, and doing it in her usually excellent, graceful and natural style. Wilmot Young, as. St Elmo, acted and looked the part. Tile pathos of this beautiful story was rc- lieved by a thread of good clean humour wllich kept the audience in constant laughter.
The evening performance was "The
Great John Ganton." the millionaire head of a Chicago stock yarl, who conducted his business on the only principle he recognised, the principle of dollars. Wilmot Young fitted ad- mirably into this character, inter- lardlng the cast iron business methods with flashes of wit that ilivarlably brought down the house. His son, Will Ganton (Frank Dufrane), fell in
