Athens, July 81, via London, Aug. %
delayed by censor) An initial bri-
gade of Russian troops has arrived at
Saloniki to join the entente allies in
the fighting in the Balkans.
The arrival of the Russians has
created a profound impression here.
Even the Royalists, who have consist
emily opposed participation in the war
by Greece on the side of the entente
allies, seemed almost stunned by the
news that Russian troops had arrived
to take part In the campaign, which
under other conditions might have
been taken by the Greek army.
The general feeling mere is that the
bringing in of Russian troops has dis
PEELED definitely the dream of a greater
Greece which was conceived year
and a half ago by the then Premier
Venizelos, who carried Greece well on
the way toward entrance in the war
with the entente allies.
1t is regarded as possible that the
presence Of Russian forces in Mace
donia will effect change in the atti-
tude of Bulgaria.
In some quarters irritation is dis
played at the recent foreign policy of
the Greek government, which is said
to have overlooked the interests of
this nation.
