| The Hague.-Greece has received
assurances from the Central Powers
that Bulgarians will not take part in
an attack on Saloniki, say dispatches
from Athens but it is said that a large
Turkish army will aid the Austro-
Germans in the move.
Greece has made a strong protest
against the invasion of it's territory by
the Moslems. A promise that the ter
ritory occupied would be evacuated
after the war has not tempered the
opposition expressed by Athens.
Preparations for an attempt by the
Turks and Germans to capture or des-
troy the Suez Canal and invade
Egypt are taking definite shape, say
dispatches from n ,utral countries.
These reports are based on informa-
ton obtained from German sources,
and describe the German Field Mar
shall Won de Goltz as equipping a big
army at Aleppo for the drive.
The Turks have resumed their Of
~fensive at the Dardanelles and are
pressing their attacks in Mesopo-
tamia.
Constantinople n-orn s gains by
the Moslems ON the Dardanelles front
ear Aafarta, where they captured
en- the trenches of the Allies bayonets,
ammunition and various other kinds
of war material.
The Turkish guns are said to, have
successfully replied to the lombard
ment of the Moslem lines near Ari-
Burnu by a cruiser, three armored
monitors and Land abtteries. Near
Sedul-Bahu Turkish artillery sank a
tug in the narrows when it las de-
barking troops and ammunition.
The Italians are continuing their at
tacks in the Austro-Italian theatre
under severe weather conditions. On
the northern slopes of Monte San
Michele infantry desachments sur
rounded an Austrian trench position
which made a salient in the Italian
line and captured it in a surprise at
