, particular, he wants to annex to
Greece the coast Of Asia Minor. which
was once Greek in population and cul-
ture. This is the reward he hopes to
gain from the allies. But, there is a
strong party in Greece that believes
Greece could not hold the Asia Min.
or coast because of the large garrl-
sons that would be necessary to keep
the Turks in subjection. The major
ity of the Greek general staff is said
to be of this opinion.
No certainty exists therefore that

The Bulgarian ultimatum follows
Russia's ultimatum to bulgaria. de-
manding that the Bulgars sever rela-

garia replied by delivering an ultima
tum to Serbia. The Serbs undoubt-

and hostilities may open almost imme-
diately. since Bulgarian troops are
known to be massed on the Serbian
frontier.
1t is especially significant that the
Bulgarian ultimatum to Serbia was
made known only a few hours after
Greece seemingly decided not to sup
port Serbia against bulgarian aggres-
sion.
