GERMANS NOT ID
 INVADE GREECE
TeutOn Minister Disclaims All Intent to Violate
 Greek Territory

Paris, December 2O.-The Havas Athens correspondent under date of December IS telegraphs:
 Premier Skoloudis declared to the representative of an Athens newspa- per today (Saturday) the report that the German minister had informed him the central powers intended to vio- late Greek territory was unfounded.
 'The inaction for four days of the German and Bulgarian troops on the Greek frontier. however" the corres- pondent adds, "is attributed as much to diplomatic as to military reasons and 1t is thought the Germans are not sufficiently strong to attack the allies alone and are trying to overcome the objections to Bulgarian action on Greek soil. In political circles it is stated that no official negotiations have be- gun. It is believed, however, the gov ernment has opened negotiations on this subject, with the German min- ister, setting forth the complications which are likely to result from the entry of Bulgarians into Greece, which would offend the pride of the Greek population and provoke the army.
 The optimism shown in official circles is explained by the supposi- ton that Germany has given assur- ances that Greece's representatives will be taken into account.
 Another dispatch from the Havas correspondent at Athens says:
 Government and diplomatic circles give the impression that the central powers will turn their attention to the Serbs and Italians in Albania unless the entente allies are reinforced at Sa- loniki and so change the military equilibrium in the Balkans
 News from Saloniki is to the effect that the situation at the front is un- changed. Air scouts of the entente al- lies report the concentration of Bull garian troops in proximity to the Greek frontier and the arrival of re- inducements at Doiran
 The German and Austrian consuls have left Saloniki for Monastir with their staffs and the contents of the archives. Before leaving the Austrian and German consuls warned the sub jects of their countries to prepare to leave the Greek port within 15 days Bulgarian deserters declare that durin gthe battle of Valdonovo so ser vian prisoners of war were exposed to French artillery fire. All the prisoners were killed"
