Allied Troops Are runny.
int] Themselves About
Salonika--—-Bulgains May
Also Cross the Border
The unprecedented military
situation in Greece has developed
a new crisis. The allied troops
are fortifying themselves about
Saloniki, digging trenches and
placing guns. It is reported the
Germans are preparing to ad-
vance into Greek territory.
Whether the Bulgarians also
will cross the border is a vital
question to the Greeks.
The Greek general eleCtion Will
be held tomorrow. but it is not
expected the result will have any
controlling influence on the pol-
icy of the government. King Con-
stantine remains indisposed. The
party of former Premier Venize~
los has r‘o candidates and sol-
dierS'undcr arms will not. vote.
According to the Athens cor-
respondent of the Times, the
German Minister at Athens told
Premier Skouloudis the Germans
would be compelled to attack the
British and French forces.
If all current reports were true,
the Germans would be preparing
offensive. movements in all direc-
tions——in Belgium and France, in.
Greece. against. Egypt. on the
Rig-Dvinsk front and in Galicra.
British military critics believe,
however. that the Central Pow-
ers have r\ot enough available re-
serves for an offensive move‘ncnt
on more than one front.
No important fighting was re-
ported over night from any field.
All recruits ‘n England on the

atng a stir in the stunts. The
public infers that the Derby en-
listment plan has been a success.
and that conscription at least is
postponed.
It is inferred that the govern-
ment intends to consider the first
class consisting of 18 year old
to the
boys. as coresponding
class of 1917 in continental coun—
tries. and w‘II defer indefinitely
