GREEKS ARE IN A TURMOIL
Grave Trouble Feared from Occupation
Greek Forts by Bulgarians-ven-
oxelos Writes Article.

Paris.-A news dispatch from Ath-
ems says that grave trouble has broken
out there, following the news of the in
vasion Of Macedonia by the Bulgarians.
Bulgarian troops crossed the Greek
frontier on May 26 and occupied the
Greek forts of Rupel, Dragotin and Spa
Otvo. The Greek troops which had
garrisoned these forts withdrew on the
advance of the Bulgarians, who claim
ed permission from the Athens govern
ment for their act. The Bulgarians
we're said to be led by German officers,
who explained to the commanders Of
the Greek forts that the central powers
we're merely being accorded the same
privilege that had been given the al
lies in permitting them to occupy Sa-
loniki.
1t was reported from Athens that
feeling was running very high in the
Greek capital over the Bulgarian in
vasion. The Herald, the organ of NJ.
Venizelos, appeared with a black bor-
der and contained a fiery article from
the pen of the former premier.

There was complete unanimity, how

that the troops would stay in Mexico

MILlTIAMEN ARE REPORTING
State Troopers Who Did Not Join Col.

San Antonio.-Apparently no court
martial of Texas militiamen will be
held because of their failure to Join
the colors when the federal call came,
for the gratifying reason that there
VIII be no n to court.martial.
Most of the men who refused at
ilrst to report for muster are already
in the service" said Gen. Funston, and
the others are sending collect mes
sages to me asking for transportation
to come on and join the federal serv-
ice. SO far as | know but one recalci-
trant militiaman still remains, and his
mother is working on him"
A plan has been worked out for re-
cruiting for the companies OF the Texas
regiments which, If successful, will
double the numerical strength of those
organizations and give Gen. Funston
approximately 1000 men for this arm
of the three regiments of infantry and
battalion OF cavalry at government ex-
eense to seek recruits. They will have
authority to recruit to the full war
strength OF $50 men to the company.
At present few of the companies are
much above the minimum peace
strength Of 65 men. 1t is known that
In some OF the towns recruits will be
easily obtained.
SO great is the confusion as TO the
Interpretation to be placed on sections
OF the Dick law that there is still doubt
whether the Texas regiments now in
the federal service could be legally
taken into Mexico. Gen. Funston said
that II the eXigencies required such
service the Texas regiments probably
would be taken over under a call for
volunteers that would entirely end
their status rs national guardsmen.
As il stands now, they being only
militiamen Temporarily in the federal
service. If that service should be ter
minated these regiments would remain
units of the Texas national guard.
