NOT BEATEN YET
PARIS, April 27.-The correspondent
of the Temps telegraphs that the public
demands a continuance of the war in
view of the fact that the army is intact
and the naval superiority of Greece in
contestible. The correspondent adds
that the spirit of the Greek army at
Pharsala is excellent. The change in the
general staff has made an excellent i'm
preston Prince Constantine will re-
main with the troops in Thesealy, but he
VIII do so merely as a matter of form
and will have no further influence in the
councils of war.
The correspondent of the Temps does
not believe that King George will go to
the front
i TROOPS STILL FIGHTING
ATHENS. April 27.-Col. Manos tele-
graphs from Arta today: Fighting has
been in progress at Pentepigadia since
morning. The result Is not known here
The Greek troops occupied strong po-
s!tions in the pass. Another engagement
took place this morning at Platka, the
result of which is not known, since the
enemy maintains his position, though
the Greek artillery has inflicted great
damage to the villages of Kalentsi and
Fortosi where the Turks are concentra-
ted. The Turks left the route from
Pentepigadia to Bania open. The Greek
cavalry reconnoitered without encount-
ering the enemy until about eight hours
ride from Pentepigadia, when they met
300 Turks, who fired on the Greeks with
eff Tlo box Ia Ja, od
the entire Loureches valley and the
country around Souli. The situation at
Prevasa is satisfactory. We need REIN
forcements and mountain batteries. We
have captured a quantity of ammuni-
tion especially for artillery use within
the positions abandoned by the Turks"
BULGARIAN FEELING
SOFIA, April PA large open-air
meeting of Macedonians was held here
this morning, at which many Bulgarlans
were present. The speakers denounced
the policy of the government and ac-
cused Prince Ferdinand of culpable in
activity. They declared that the pres
ent Russophile policy of Bulgaria could
do nothing but work injury to the coun-
try. The crowd undertook to get up
demonstration in honor of the. Greek
agent, but the police interfered.
FRIGHTENED TO DEATH
LONDON, April 27-The Evening
News this afternoon publishes dispatch
from Athens dated $40 p m. saying the
people there are frightfully incensed at
the retreat of the troops. The dispatch
further states that the bitterness
against King George and his government
Is intensified with the news that the
Greek army in Epirus' has been ordered
to suspend operations pending reconsid-
Grafton of the subject by the ministers.
The dispatch says: Indeed, it looks
probable that tomorrow will see the end
of the whole business. There is reason
to believe that the government is con-
templating the withdrawal of the Greek
troops from Crete and appeal to the pow
ers to settle the trouble. This change on
the part of the government is due to
Edhem Pasha having intimated his in
tention of marching upon Athens"
Everything points to the conclusion of
the campaign by the intervention of the
powers. There is no confirmation of the
report that the Greek ministry has fallen.
1t is probable that a coalition cabinet
will be formed. 1t is stated that prepa-
rations are being made on King George 3
property at Smidstrup, Denmark, with
a view to having the castle ready for
its owner in case of his abdication or
deposition.
Everything sent from Athens by the
special correspondents emphasizes the
increasing gravity of the situation there
and the rapid development of the rev.
olutionary feeling. This condition of
things appears to have resulted largely
from the cessation of hostilities in
Epirus. There is no doubt that the
Turks are occupied in establishing their
lines of communication. 1t is equally
evident that the Greek disaster in Epirus
is much more serious than was at first
supposed. 1t now looks like hopeless
task to renew the advance upon Janina
as Turkey is in position to send over
whelming reinforcements. The irreg-
ular cooperation with the Greek forces
shows up in a very bad light as mere
bandits intent more upon plunder than
fighting.
