To throw Yankee snap into the Greek war plans, deliver a good American kick at German propaganda and add weight to allied resistance or offense in Albania, Americans should be according to Greek Minister Roussos here. Direct appeal for such action may he made to President Wilson in a few days Nicholas G. Kyriakides arrives here at the head of a Greek mission.

Meantime Greek statesmen are urging the 'Sending- of -American troops to Greece, even in small numbers, would be very beneficial in strengthening the morale of the Greek people nnd in encouraging to more active war on the. central powers," Minister Roussos told tho United Press today. "Our people, like all southern races, are very impressionable and would be profoundly influenced by appearance of American troops in Greece. This step would also overcome German propaganda which is being circulated bv remnants of King Constance's regime. Enemy agents iro saying that the reason America has sent no troops to Greece to fight the Atis- trians and other troops occupying- our territory Is that are in sympathy with Bulgaria's territorial "Those -who know the exarl situation do not believe this, but some of our people are influenced by such talk and tho morale suffers in consequence."

The armies of the central powers now hold the northern portion of Greece and threaten to push farther down. Sending of American troops to Greece, where they might become engaged i Bulgarian forces, raises the question of dedrlng war on Bulgaria.

Minister Roussos Is undecided on the advisability fthis. "Whether it -would he necessary for the United States to declare -war on Bulgaria before sending troops to Greece, I cannot say," he. stated. "I do not know whether it is wise or not. This is a question the American government is in a better position to answer." of $1 an i however, will not bfi me I A i advance a a i be made a on Labor day.
