Both Dorain and Gievgeli, close to the border, have been evacuated by the Anglo-French forces, according to the message. An Athens newspaper declares that Greek troops are moving toward the Serbian border at a point where Bul garian troops are preparing to cross the boundary line and that the Greeks apparently intend to dispute the cross ing.

Greek Situation Serious The ditlicult effort of Greece to maintain neutrality in Die face of the allied retreat on Saloniki and the pur suit of Bulgarians and Germans con tinues to be the chief matter of in terest at the entente capitals. The latest decision of Greece, according to Athens dispatches, is to withdraw all considerable bodies of her troops im partially from danger of contact with entente troops in Saloniki and the Ger lpanic allies on the northern front, leaving only small groups of soldiers for police purposes. Whatever the future holds for! Greece, her effort to clear her position toward the belligerents seemingly dis poses of any idea that the allied forces on Greek territory are to occupy a privileged position with anything in the nature of open Greek support. The Greek arms at Saloniki is to be re duced immediately in numbers to as f suro liberty of aetion to the entente 1 roops there. At the same time Greek soldiers along the railway will be with drawn to avoid complications when- ! ever Germans, or Bulgarians i enter Greek territory. i Kulgnrs Lose Heavily So far as is known, the bard-fought attacks on rhe British in 'Macedonia ihus far have been delivered entirely by Bulgarians, without German assist ance. A dispatch to the Times says ihe Bulgarians left more than 8,000 dead or wounded on the field after two assaults on the British line. "On the second attack," the dispatch i-ontinues, "our combined fire of artil lery rifles and rapid-firers was opened on the advancing masses at a range of about 500 yards. The Bulgarians faced the murderous hail at a run for 500 yards, then broke into flight, which quickly became a helter-skelter rout." The possibility of various flanking movements through Greek territory is opened by the Greek decision to per mit the country to become a field for the belligerents. It is rumored, for ex ample, that British troops already are landing at Kavala, and that the first detachments of Serbians have been brought around from Durazzo, Al bania, to Saloniki, Discuss Food Problem Allied squadrons continue to pay close attention to the Greek coasts and lestrictions on Greek commerce are unabated. In the other fields of activity there are few developments of large impor tance.
