Newspapers Attack . Reply t of Sir Edward Grey on Greece's: Attitude Toward Balkan Crisis.

f LONDON. Oct. 16. All Britain la . waiting Interne!? today for an expla nation of the government's attitude on the Dardanelles operations. The demand made In the House of Lords last night by Lord Milner that British troops be recalled from the Dardanelles and Lord . Lansdowne's refusal to state whether the Dardanelles operation would be continued or ended, caused a great sensation. The newspapers which opposed the present government said the statement of Sir Edward Grey on the Balkan situation In ' the House of Commons yesterday was 'wholly unsatisfactory and they are expected to seize upon Lord Mllner's prediction of disaster at the Dardanelles to further their attack. . It Is no longer concealed here that the attitude of Greece Is causing the allies uneasiness. In Lord Lansdowne's reply to Lord ' Milner he stated that the Greek attitude had not been quite fully defined, "and that is another factor In the calculation." ' Withdrawal of the allied forces from the Dardnalles might be the last thing needed to make Greece decide to help Germany.

Italy cannot under take to send troops to the Balkans at present but will contribute In other ways to the success of the allies cause. The Olornale dltalla. official organ of Foreign Minister Sonnlao, makes this statement ia the situation - that baa through Bulgaria's Intervention la the war. ' The announcement indicates there baa been a change in the sentiment of the government during the last few days. It waa expected that following Premier Salandra's visit to King Victor Emmanuel at army headauarters, announcement would be made of the sending ot an Important expeditionary force through Albania, It Is possible that the determined offensive of the Austrian forces on the Italian front caused the sudden shift In plans.

Though the war office states that these operations have resulted In no gains for the enemy. It Is probably deemed necessary to keep all available troops ready for action.
