by the most intimate friends of the
both parties and scarcely a dozen

Salonika is not doubted and accord
ing to Gorman dispatches is not
such a hard operation from the mi
litary point of view, the Allies have
so strengthened their lines that it
will result in great loss of life and
for that reason there is some hesi
tancy nhown in risking the men.
ZURICH, Dec. 19.—The Bulgars
declare that the Allies must quit
Groece. There is no doubt that all
the Central Powers are bringing
considerable pressuro to bear upon
Greece either to compel the Allies
