The Christians who are returning all
say that during the battle at Milouna
Crown Prince Constantine was at Kar-

Greek army is described as behaving
on that occasion like disorderly mob.
All discipline was flung to the winds,

1t is impossible to believe that the
army at Pharsalos can Withstand the
Turks in a pitched battle. That the
