tack upon the Greek positions.

moving toward Pharsalia, to the right or
rear of the place, and it is further stated
that Gen. Smolentz, commanding the
Greek right wing has reoccupied Amy
70 and has restored telegraphic communi-
cation with the Greek headquarters. I'm
less the rearWard movement of the Turks
is the result of the action of the powers,
it is believed to indicate that the Turk
iSh commander-in-chief, Edhem Pasha, is
again concentrating his troops, prepare
tory to making a general attack upon the
main Greek stronghold.

Constantinople, May 14.-Oficial dis
! patches received here from Larlssa dat

| Vardali. Vardali is only about five and

Germany Urges Moderation.
Paris, May LIT is believed here
there is no doubt Germany is urging
moderation upon the Sultan Of Turkey.
| The powers, it is semi-officially intimated,
| do not intend to press Greece to surren-
| der her feet as payment of the war in
| demnity for which Turkey will presently
| demand. Greece, in this respect, will be
allowed full liberty. The powers are
| trying to make arrangements to enable
| Greece to meet the demands of Turkey
without injury to the previous creditors of
| Greece.
