road terminus. This city and Bur4
gas, fifty miles further south are
the principal Bulgarian Black sea
ports.
On several occasions since the be-
ginning Of the Teutonic drive through
Serbia it has been reported that tho
Russians would attempt an invasion
of Bulgaria from the sea, and It has
been said forces were concentrated
for this purpose at Odessa. Previous
dispatches reporting Russian naval
demonstrations before Varna or Bur.
gas. presumably preparatory to IN
effort to hand troops, were not borne
out subsequently.

LONDON. Dec. e t12:02 p. m Tire
Albanian port of Durazzo is said to be
the latest objective of the Tentonie
Bulgarian campaign in the Balkans
Strong forces are believed to be
marching across Albania in an effert
to forestaIl Italian occupation of the
coast
In the meantime there is no indica-
tion of the development by the central
powers of an offensive against the
allies in Macedonia On the contrary.
il is reported the Bulgarians are en-
trenching themselves along the Sszbo-
Greek border.
The first concrete evidence of fric-
tion between Greeks and Bulgaria
comes from Epirus. where BuIgarfan
bands and Greek forces, according 10
press dispatches, have come in con-
fiict.
If an offensive movement toward
Saloniki 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 n<
neutrality prevails. While the Ger
mans, Austrians, BulgariaHs and
Turks are concentrating troops along
the front OF Greece's Macedonian bor
der the entente allies are ceaselessix
debarxing men ana munitions at
Salonflxi Several months will be
necessary, however, before they can
hope to undertake an offensive moves
ment on scale which could possibly
succeed.

two gigantic strokes. one against
