across Albania in an effort to fore
stall Italian occupation Of the coast
In the meantime there is no indica-

the Allies in acedonia. On the con-
trary, it is reported the Bulgarians

The first concrete evidence + fr'c-
ton between Greeks and Bulgarians
cones from Epirus, where Bulgarian
bands and Greek forces, according to
press dispatches, have come into con-
flict.
If an offensive movement toward
Salonika is undertaken it is hardly
likely Greece will interfere, as she
must grant the same facilities to the
Central powers as she accorded the
Entente Allies if the present policy
Of neutrality prevails.
While the Germans, Austrians, Bul-
