LONDON. Dec. 2J.-Dispatches from the continent predict that the holiday will first be broken on the Balkan front, where Greek observers believe the central powers are preparing q huge army for operation directed against the entente. Whether this Uill take the form of an actual attack on SaIoniti or merely an advance into Greece for the purpose of seizing strat- e@ic defensive points is a matter of keen speculation in Athens.
 According to one correspondent, the Greek government has definitely de- ciGed not to permit the enemies Of the entente to penetrate Greek terri tory, unless the Central powers give satisfactory guarantees that Greek territory will not be endan&ercd.
 According to dispatches from a Ser bian source, the Germans have estab- lished q provisional government at Nish. withdrawing all the Bulgarian amt Austrian troops and ending Bui- gar-Austrian interference in the ad- ministration of Serbian affairs. It is added that proclamationS have teeu issued announcing the Germans will respect serbian nationality.
 There has been no news of impcr- tance from the British correspondents at Athens and Salouiki since Friday.
 The MOntenegriu official cOmmuni- cation states that the AuStrians are entrenched on d front between Monte negro and Serbia which British ob servers take to mean pause in the active Austrian campaign against the little mountain country. presumably to enable the Austrian forces 10 be turned to more pressing matters on other fronts.
