ACCORDING 10 the reports from Ath'
fns' M halogeropoulos, the new prime
minister, Yesterday sent to Berlin a
note demanding the instant retarn OF
the Greek soldiers, garrison of kaVala,
VINO were taken north by the bulgar'
ans and Germans when the Aegean Sea
fortress fell INTO the hands OF the leu
tCnlc Allies.
At the time Berlin issued state
ment that the commander of these
troops had appealed to the Bulgarlans
and Germans for assistance, and had.
been taken to Germany "as neutrals,
where they would be kept until after
the war.
Ignores Berlin Statement
II 70 npderstood that the Greek note
takes no eognizance of this statement,
but insists that the soldiers be imme-
diately returned 10 Greece.
In the mean time the Greek govern

consisted of heavy cOunter7attacks

ing the apex of the deepest wedge the
French have driven into the Ieutonlc
