ATHENS. May I2-The fact that there

garded as good news, but an uneasy feel
ing exists here The Turks are trying to
outfiank the Greek position al Domokos,
and the delay in the portes reply is also
interpreted TO mean that Turkey does not
intend TO cease hostilities. Teiegrams from
the front report that both armies are
concentrating I'm anticipation of an en-
gagement.
The city continues quiet though il is
believed that the numerous italian volun-
teers and socialists now here will en-
deavor to foment a revolution leading up
10 a republic. But the Greeks are devoted
10 the monarchical idea. and the worst
that is likely 10 happen will be a change
OF sovereign.

tine to the capital might produce dis
turbances. but ne is likely 10 be discreet
enough 10 avoid Athens for time.
