Greece has by no means been entirely
cleared up and some degree Of UNI
certainty remains as to the pro.
bable next step by King Constan.
tine and his advisers. The advances of
the Bulgarians in the districts north of
Monastir naving made it impossible for
the Allies TO effect any injunction with
the Serbians, at the same time makes
Il necessary that the Greeian railroads
be used by the Allies and Serbians to

This situation is causing some

any intention they might have had o
following any retreating Serbian
across the Greek border may haV
something to do with the apparent,
altered attitude of Athens.
In a military way, even with tn
main Serbian army scattered and bro
ken, the situation is regarded ms salts
factory. The desperate resistance O
the Serbians has served its purpos
and the Allies have placed themselve
in a position to strike back effectivel,
