TROOPS FROM GALLIPOLI
ARE RUSHED TO GREECE

London, Jan. 18.-The attempt of
the central powers to storm SAlonika is
believed to be near.
Meanwhile, allied forces are prepar-
ing hastily for the drive. Large bodies
Of their men, presumably from the
abandoned Gallip5li peninsula, are
landing in the Gulf of 0rfani, so miles
northeast of Salonika to protect the
AngloIFrench right wing. That Cen
ersl Sarrail expects strenuous Bulgar
smash in that region is indicated by
the fact that he caused the railway
bridge at Demirnissar, 20 miles north
of Orfani, to be blown up.
The Berlin report that the allies are
landing at Piraeus, five miles from
Athens, and also at Phaleron was with
out confirmation. Officials, however,
ridiculed the Berlin story that the
Greek government is about to move to
Larissa, 80 miles southwest of Salon
ika, because of fear that the allies are
threatening Grecian neutrality. 1t was
pointed out that if this report were
true, Greece would not be seeking La
rissa, a place no more impregnable
than Ataens, the present capital
Diplomatic circles rumored that i'm
portant development are impending in
Greece. Inasmuch as the Greek parlia-
ment meets Monday, it may reopen the
Greek-ally dispute, and therein lies
possibly vast consequences.

Bulgarians Withdraw.

london, Jan. 1s,-Bulgarians are
withdrawn ON Albania because of
dissensions with the Austro- Germans,
according to Rome wireless message
today.
"Athens advices state that Bulgar.
/ and Turkey are inclined to conclude
peace with the allies" the message
said.
The story was unconfirmed from any
course and was received reservedly. Ac.
cording to recent advices, the Bulgars
were pressing the Serbs hard west of
Elbassan, Albania. 1t they have been
withdrawn is believed that it was
because they were needed for the pro-
posed Salonika onslaught, or because
their presence in Albania might mean
that Italy would begin a strong cam.
paigne in the Balkans.
