aways an enemy attack with equani- mity. But neither moves. They are waiting, waiting, each anxious for the ether to move first and so expose his hand.
 Allies Must Hold SalOnica.
 The allies have political reasons for holding Salonica. They fear that if it were given up their prestige in the Near East would suffer immensely, Roumania would be influenced against them and King Constantine might throw Greece, even unwilling, into the ranks of the central powers. Again, with the French and British with drawn, Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria probably could not resist the tempta- ton to seize the rich prize of Salo- nica. d. city where, save for the Span ish Jews, Bulgarians form the largest as element in the population. At the end of the first Balkan war Great Britain law that Greece got Salonica instea:i of Bulgaria because she thought English commercial inter- ests would be better served so. On the other hand, the Germans fear to attack Salonica with an army consisting largely of Bulgarians, be- cause this would stir up Greek re- sentiment and might lead to a crisis at Athens which would mean Grecian aid to the allies. Many Greeks are | we'll pleased to have the allies ilr Sal onica, to save it from the Bulgari- ans.
 Allies Control Greece. l The allies hold the whip hand over Greece today. This little country is much like Great Britain in that il has a large merchant marine (the largest
 in proporation to the size of the na- tion in the world and is dependent on imports for food and many other things. The allies have arranged 1t so that now the Greeks have about three days coal supply at any one time and not much more food.
 If Greece doesn't behave the Brit ish and French warships can quickly reduce tho inhabitants to starvation and shut up their industries through lack of fuel. Constantine is also de- pendent on London for funds to pay his mobilzed troops.
 So the Greeks have had to let the allies go on exploring expeditions along the seacoast and the island in lets for German suZmarine bases and supply stations and to land forces in Greek ports for the purpose of selz- ing suspected Teuton agents in Greece. The allies have been occupied Corfu and several other Greek islands and are using them as naval bases.
 One especially noteworthy seizure of small island off the south coast 1 of Asia Minor, which would be of strategic importance if the allies con templated striking their great blow this spring on the nearby shore.
