ANGLO-FRENCH TROOPS LAND
AT PIRAEUS AND WILL GAR
RISON GREEK CAPITAL.
TO END |NTR|GUEs
Believed the Purpose Of the Allied
Troops Is to Put an End to Pro-
German Intrigue in Athens.
Details Are Meager.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Anglo
French troops landed at Piraeus are
expected TO march five miles north
east to Athens and garrison the
Greek capital.
While no report of the actual
landing has been received in Lon
don two .,thens dispatches received
today reported the arrival OF allied
transports off Piraeus harbor, and
the London newspapers said this
undoubtedly meant that the allies
had decided to put an end to pro-
German intrigues in Athens.
Confirmation of reports that King
Constantine had abdicated the
throne are still lacking at the for
eign office, but no further advices
have been received regarding the re-
ported revolution in northern
Greece.
In the absence of news diplomats
here are beginning to doubt the
truth of the report that the Greek
king has quit his throne, though
his position is growing more unfa-
vorable.
Military critics believed that the
allied grand offensive in the Balkans
was about to begin. This is indi-
Gated by an official announcement
from Rome that the Italian often
sive in southern Albania has lbe-
gun. With the Italians attacking in
Albania the allies are now exerting
pressure on the central powers on
six fronts. The Albanian campaign
forcing the retirement of the Bulga-
rians from northwestern Greece Is tc
be carried on successfully until the
Bulgarians fall back from Greek
territory. Since Rumania's declara-
tion of war the Bulgarians have
made no attempt to push further
southwark into Greece but content
themselves with fortifying theil
present line.
