BULGARIA NOT LIKELY
TO INVADE Greece
Allied Army at Salonka Not 5eliev-
ed TO be Serious Threat to
Central Powers

VIENNA, Dec. 29.~-Bulgarian oper-
atoms against the British and French
at Salonlka are not likely to be re.
sumed, judging from all appearances
available here. The Berlin Tageszei.
tung, as quoted here, prints a de-
spatch on the authority of the Sofia
newspaper, Narodnia Prava, TO the
effect that Greece officially has in
formed Bulgaria that no objection
will be made to the entrance of Bull
garian troops into Greece if military
necessity eompels it, This report.
however, runs directly contrary to all
other news Indications.
The feeling in military circles here
seems to be that the allied army at
Salonika is really not a serious threat
to the central powers, as the Bull
garian troops guarding the Greek
frontier would have all the advantage
in withstanding serious offensive
movement.
From the political side. moreover,
the opinion is an Invasion OF Greece
might be fraught with serious en-
barrasments, without compromising
advantages.
The official bulletins from both the
German and Austrian headquarters
report little military activity. The
Austrian communication says the
Montenegrins have retired from God
jewe TO Bijoca.

TO PROBE
AFFRONT TO US. FLAG
Investigation Ordered Into ForcibIe
Entry Into Home of Amer
lean.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga de.
terday from Sofia said the Bulgarian
Foreign Office had promised TO in
vestigate the charge that Bulgarian
troops invading Serbia forcibly en-.
tered the home OF DR. p. s. Forbes,
an American engaged in Red Cross
work. at Monastir. and besides seia.
ing a quantity of -four took away an
American flag which the physician
had placed over his door. Until a
report on the Foreign Office inquiry
is received there probably will be no
representations on the subject.
Yesterdays despatch. bringing the
first official news of the incident,
came from Lewis Einstein, special
agent of the State Department It
was summarized by the department
as follows:
Stuart and Laughlin of American
Red Cross, who know Forbes, ana
who recently were in Sofia, inform
me that when the Serbians left
Forbes made presumable nominal
purchase of Serbian Government
flour When the Bulgarians entered,
Forbes refused to call on the new
eommandant or to sell the -four to
the army, stating that it was for the
civil population. He stored it in the
back of his house. placing the Ameri-
can flag over the door. He told the
Bulgarians they would have to break
in forcibly II they wanted It, Sub
sequently, in the course of a parley,
he opened the door and the Bulgar
ians then entered with fixed bayonets.
The American flag and part OF the
supplies were removed.
MRS. Walter Farwell, who at.
tempted to photograph this, had her
apparatus seized and destroyed and
was momentarily roughly handled.
Forbes recently reported he was in
no danger. From several accounts
received from Americans lately IN
Serbia. Bulgarian troops have acted
toward Americans with great 'our
tesy'

NEGRO QUIETLY
LOOKSFOR DEATH
Ellie Davis, Condemned, Man, In
Death Cell OF Prison Realize
Fate

Elzie Davis, the Mcdowell county
negro, who is confined in the death
cell at the state penal institution at
Moundsville, awaiting execution
the gallows Friday evening, Janu-
airy Fl, now fully realizes his fate.
and is preapring to meet his Maker.
The condemned man is, however not
nervous nor does not fear death in
the least. He says he will be ready
TO die when the times comes. Ward
en- White says the big hurley negro
Is bearing up well as the time grows
nearer for his execution, and that he
continues to eat and sleep as though
he had no fear or the. gallows, which
will hurl him into eternity.
Davis spends considerable of his
time in reading the Bible, and IN
prayer with Archdeacon B. NJ. Spur,
and is now trusting in God, as many
others who have met the same fate.
Davis has little hope for executivs
clemency, and as far as can be learn
ed has no influential friends who will
work for a Communication of sentence.
