GREEKS DID NOT RETREAT.
Min Body SIN Successfully Ope-
rating Against the Turks.

LARISSA, TIIESALLY. April b
There is no truth in the Turkish reports
that the Greek irregulars have been
driven out Of Macedonia. II is true that
a few Of the irregulars who formed part
Of the expeditionary force have returned
into Greek territory. but these are men
who. for some reason, have been unable
to keep up with the main body Of Greeks,
and consequently have retreated across
the frontier.
The main body Of the irregulars is
continuing its successful operations
against the Turks. with the view of
cutting the Turkish lines of communica-
ton. getting in the rear OF the Turks,
and raising the Macedonans against the
rule of the Sultan.
The report of the capture Of Kipuri,
north of Baltino, by the Greeks. is con-
firmed. and In addition. the main forces
of the irregulars. or the expeditionary
force. have advanced as far as Pigayitza.
where there is an important bridge
across mountain torrent From that
point. Chief DaYels who is directing the
operations. has sent a detachment, con-
sisting Of the Italians under Colonel
Cipriani. the well-known Socialist
leader. 10 the left Of Pigavitza, with
instructions 10 attack and capture
Zlovof. a small town occupying an i'm
portant strategic position. The Italians
accomplished their task in due time, and
with considerable skill They are now
holding Zlovof. and placing II i'm position
10 resist an attack from the Turks.
GREEKS STILL ADVANCING.
After the capture of Zlovof the Greek
irregulars operating I'm that direction
continued their advance as far as Kri-
lures, Plisla. and Kourduzi. The Greeks
have been instructed to hold the last
named place at all cost. as II commands
the right approach TO Grevena. which Is
held by a strong Turkish force-infantry.
cavalry. and artillery-and which is the
objective point Of the Greek expedition.
The Greek irreguars now hold all Of the
four roads leading from the Thessalian
frontier In the direction of Grevena.
which may be looked upon as the Turk
ish centre.
In all. the Greeks have about $1,000
regulars and some 10000 irregulars on
the frontier. but they count a great deal
on reinforcements to their armies
through risings in Epirus. Albania, and
Macedonia.
The Turks, on the other hand, have
about 10000 good. well-equlpped troops
in line. OF these, forty-four battalions
are Redifs in Roumerlia, ia all about
5000 men, who are divided into two
reserve divisions

CHICAGO, April l5.-Some Of the west

ly that the Mooresque building was
