Washingon correspondent, who says Prince Starhemberg
that the final decision may be reach-
ed within a few days.

Mystery surrounds the torpedoing of the Greek cruiser Helle near the island of Tlons, which occurred yesterday during anni- | versary celebrations. According to a "Reuter" report received this morning it is authoritatively stated in London that no British submarine is operating near Tions, although it is known that Italian-submarines have been in that area recently: Above is a picture of the torpedoed Helle.
