Premier.

London. Dec. Fixing Constantine
has telegraphed TO Emperor William
saying that it would be impossible 10
allow bulgarian or Turkish troops TO
cross the Greek frontier, says the
Mails" correspondent at Athens, who
had interviews with the Greek minis
ters.
X. Gounaris. Minister of the lnte-
rior. candidly confessed. according to
the correspondent. that he did not
know what would be done if the Bull
garians or Turks attempted to cross
the frontier. Minister Of Justice Rhal-
lis. on the other hand. was just as
emphatic in declaring that no Turk or
Bulgarian would be permitted 10 set
foot on Greek soil. He reproached the
Allies for obstinately remaining at
Salonica. declaring that ali the dlif-
culties OF Greece would be removed II
the Allies evacuated the port.
Meanwhile the British and French
are adding TO their strength around Sa-
,onica, both in the matter Of men, guns
and defences. Without the Bulgarians,
n British correspondent at Salonica
SAYS. the Germans Vill not attack. and
Greece has been strongly opposed all
along 70 Bulgarian troops entering her
territory.
/, is also reported from Athens that
King Constantine does not desire 20
make change in his ministry until the
chamber resssembles, the last Of Janu-
AIRY. and that, therefore, the present
Cabinet will remain in power, and 1t is
possible that the new chamber may be
convoked before that date.
According 10 the Sslonica CORE
spondent Of THE Times there is con-
siderable conjecture as to how the Ger
mans will solve the knotty problem o.
introducing Bulgarian troops into
Greek Macedonia without offending
Greece. and, at the same time, satisfy
Buloarian exigencies. which. it is re-
ported, stipulate that all territories
o,ca occupied by the Bulgarians shall
revert 10 Bulgaria.
He adds that the Germans dare not
undertake 10 attack the Allies WIN
ont the cooperation Of the Bulgarlahs'
and that if Greece refuses 70 ADMIT
the Bulgarians the Germans will not
attack alone. bCt viii content them-
os.lyes with fortifying the passes o.
