mania-Saloniki?
Perusal of today's cable dis
patches reveals many indications
that the Teutons. after finishing
the Rumanian campaign and es-
tablishing their front clear across
the northeastern part of the Bal
kan kingdom, will dispatch a large
part, IL not the bulk of the armies
OF Field Marshal Won Mackensen
and Gen. Won Falkenhayn to the
Macedonian front with a view to
driving the allies into the Aegean
Sea-" as leading Berlin papers
boasted months ago.
In the face of a blockade-re-
ported to have begun this morning
at o'clock-which is bound to
starve out his county within
twenty days, the King of the
Hellenes grows more and more
defiant, and is reported to have
ordered the mobilization of his
army. TDemobilization was one of
the first entente demands, yielded
to by Greece after long opposition.)

The United States has protested I'm a
friendly spirit, but most solemnly'' to
the German Imperial government against
the deportation of Belgians to Germany
to be forced to work for the conqueror of
their nation. The protest was made in
formally in an interview secured by Jo-

man chancellor.
Late yesterday afternoon the State De-
partment gave out the text of the pro-
test, said to have been dictated by Presi-

the deportation as being ''in contraven-
ton of all precedent and of those humane
principles Of International practice which
have long been accepted and followed by
civilized nations in their treatment of
non-combatants in conquered territory" /"
The protest further estates that Ger
