 The French and British ministers tonight asked Premier Zaimis how far the Greek government proposes to countenance the Bulgarian advance. without resistance, pointing out that it would be of no military interest to the entente to defend central Thessaly from invasion, as Salonid was supplied from the sea and could not be cut off by land.
 The embarrassment of the Greek government grows hourly in the face of popular resentment against the Bull garian invasion. The Venizelist organs criticise the inaction of the govern ment. NJ. Pachitch, former Serbian premier, has arrived here on his way to SalOniki

 Senator Kern would not deny that such @ joint session of congress was in contemplation. It T-ay be called for Tuesday, when a quorum or the mousse has been summoned to reach Wash ington.
 Following the presidents unprece- dented night visit the meeting of the finance committee democrats deviated from the task of polishing up the reve- nue bill to a discussion of the question relating to the railroad crisis. Among the senators present were Hoke Smith of Georgia, Stone, Williams. Hughes, Thomas and Simmons, chairman of the committee. All agreed that congress must abandon all ideas of adjournment as long as it might be necessary to aid in averting a strike.
 q think the first thing congress should do in event of a failure of nego- tiations," said Senator Simmons, lis to enact some legislation to prevent an actual break between the railroads and the men. How thlS may De uOne uO not know, but 1 believe definite plans along this line already are being con- sidered."
 Several senators asserted that con gress could prevent the strike and some went so far as to say that it must prevent it and would, but they added that public discussion as to the method of accomplishing this should await an actual break in pending negotiations.
 Senator Newlands after leaving the White House today said
 q have been discussing the situa- tion with members of the interstate commerce committee and will continue to discuss it. No meeting of the com mittee to plan definite action is sched- uled, but should negotiations fail the committee will be called at once. "A strike of such proportions would be civil warfare and could not be won without force. How far the govern ment should go in the matter of fore ing operation of the roads is serious problem for, congress to consider" All of the brotherhood commission CTS leaving for their homes tonight carried full instructions as to how tC proceed in case a strike is called They had official notices, duly signed and sealed, that strike had beer

 He thanked the volunteers for the spirit they had shown in advancing a movement, which he said he believed would help awaken intelligent popular interest in the navy

 KAVALA, Greece, Aug. 27.-The eff feet of the Bulgarian occupation of Doxato, the scene of alleged atrocities of which the Greeks accused the Bull gars in the last war, is prodigious. Ka- vala is the theater of amazing scenes of disorder. Thousands of refugees are pouring into this port from the Hinterland and crowding the steep, marrow streets until they are impass- able. The streets are Uttered with every kind of household goods, flung away by the owners, fleeing before the advancing Bulgars as before the plague.
 These goods were abandoned by the fugitives upon their discovery that the means of escape from the city by sea transport are inadequate. Small boats dangerously overloaded with women and children, are rowing aimlessly about the harbor, their occupants seek ing place aboard some ship regard less of its destination. Complete panic prevails.

The manufac- turers of this place are turning out a second installment of 3000,000 pairs Of footwear for the Russians. this time boots known as the Cossacks.
 Owing partly to thelr occupation with army contracts, partly to deple- tion of their staffs of male operatives, and partly to restrictions imposed by the government on the disposal by tanners and merchants of leather suit able for army purposes, boot and shoe manufacturers are finoing considerable difficulty in supplying the demands of the civilian market.
