Significance Of eombardment.
The status of political affairs in the
Balkans is almost equal in interest to
the military situation. The belief is
growing here that neither Greece nor
Roumania is likely to enter the war. at
least not until the entente allies gain
some decided success. Greece apparent
ly regards this a. more important than
the offer Of the island OF Cyprus. and it
IL feared in Athens that the allied
troops have come too late into the
Balkan field
Bombardment Of the Bulgarian coast
by an allied nset raised hopes in Eng
land that the entente powers will not
hazssn4snt With landing troops In sa-
lonikt Int cause eAough OF a diversion
elsewhere to engage considerable
body Of Bulgarian troops.
1t is expected here that the arrival at
the Dardanelles OF Gen. Sir CHARLES
Munro, the new commander Of the ex-
peditionary force, will be accompanied
With new military activity on the Gal
lipoli peninsula.
Pressure on Greses Continues.
In the meantime it is expected the
entente powers will continue to exert
pressure on Greece, raising objections
to her present attitude. These objec-
tions are based 'on both military and
political SCOuNUS t1TcSCS treaty QUIZ.
cations to Serbia were relied on as one
of the essential elements, for maintains
ing in the Balkans, the equilibrium to
the building up Of which the entente
powers contributed. They take the po-
sition that Greece Is bound to support
her treaty with Serbia and that a def
mite decision to do otherwise would
not be considered compatible with her
friendly relations with them.
No operations OF importance are un
der way along the western front. Ac-
cording to the reports from Rome and
Vienna, however, severe fighting is In
progress along the Italian frontier,
where the Italians made a general adj
vance, following fifty hours Of prep
arations by artillery fire.
Only Military Positions SheiIed.
The British admiralty today issued
the following statement concerning
the bombardment of the Bulgarian
coast:
.The bombardment OF the Bulgarian
coast was carried out by an allied
squadron composed Of British. French
and Russian ships on the 21st
"A number Of military positions
were shelled and serious damage was
inflicted on the harbor works, the rail-
way station and on shipping at Dedea-
catch. Great care was exercised by
the allied squadron to avoid firing on
any points other than those known to
be Of military Importance"
