ATHENS, March 26.-Two more sections
Of the Greek reserves have been called to
arms, and ordered to Join the army now
eneamped on the northern frontier in pre-.
pRratlon for an invasion OF Thessaly. The
three principal generals commanding the
army have been iu Athens for nearly a
week and have had daily conferences
with NJ. Delyannis. They have assured
the Premier that the troops on the frontier
are in splendid condition and full Of eager

LONDON, March 26.-The belief at the

Graece and Turkey 10 inevitable. 1t Is
also believed that the campaign will be
brief and very disastrous to Greece. Mil.

suicidal for Greece to measure her strength
against Turkey, which Is prepared to
throw 100000 men, under the able Ger.
man General, Won Der Goltz Pasha, across
the Thessalian frontier, and sweep like a
tornado through Greece to Athens. The
plan Of q Greek invasion Of Thessaly Is
pronounced impractcable, as the Turks,
having an abundance Of artillery, have
fortified every eminence commanding the

Greek Premier, unless he Is shamefully
