SALONIKA, Sept. 14-An official statement from the entente military headquarters today says that the Bul- garian forces have taken forcible pos session of the Naval forts and mili- tary deposits at Naval and have also made prisoners of the entire Fifth division of the Greek army stationed at that place. The Greeks apparently made little effort to prevent the Bull garians from taking possession of the forts and their occupation of the mili- tary defenses is complete.
 In addition to capturing great stores of military supplies, the Bulgarians and their Turkish allies also captured a large number of field and machine guns. As the city itself is under the protection of the guns of allied war ships the Bugarans have so far made no attempt to take possession.
