respondent of the Times" will say:

ficulties on the frontier. 1t is now
clear that they are relying upon rapid
movements in the field, particularly ar
tillery movements. They seem to dis
regard the moral value of strongly in
trenched positions, which the Ottomans
lay great stress on. If they are once
passed, Thessaly will be at the mercy
of the invading Turkish forces All

attention of the Turks. The Hellenic
missionaries have neglected no oppor-
tunity to arm the peasantry.
