LONDON, Jan. 6.-While attention
Of the military observers is conferred
on the developments in the eastern
theater Of war at present they expect
the next important conflict to be
fought on Greek soil. This will be-
gin with the inauguration Of the
TeutOnic advance on SalOnika.
A dispatch received from Amster-
dam today states that Gen. Macken-
zen's army. which cut its way
through Serbia from the Danube to
the Greek frontier. has been ordered
20 move Immediately against Salon
ika.
For the invasion OF Greece with
Salonika as their objective the Ger
mans are said TO have concentrated
at least 400, 900 men on the Gievgh-
eh-DOiran front near the Serbo-
Greek border. II is understood that
the delay I'm the advance Of these
forces was caused by the necessity
of awaiting the arrival Of heavy
guns required to cope with the ar
tillery which the Anglo-French
troops have in their positions from
the Greek frontier to Salonika.
Rebuild Railway.
To transport their artillery the
Germans we're compelled TO recon
struct part OF the Nish-Salonika rail-
way. This was accomplished by en-
gineering corps which toiled night
and day until the task was finished.
The first point at which the Ger
mans are expected to strike is Kill
fndir. just south of the northern
boundary Of Greece. This place has
been heavily fortified by the allies.
who. however, are expected TO make
their main stand just to the north
of Salonika, where they will be aided
by guns OF the fleet.
The Russian attacks against the
Austro- German forces at the south
ern end OF the eastern front are be-
1ieved by some experts here to have
been orderd with the view Of less
ening the pressure on the allies at
Salonika-
Allies Reinforced.
No recent estimates Of the number
OF allied troops at Salonika have
been made. but at the time they
withdrew from Serbia il was thought
there were about $4,000. These
have been Increased steadily. not
only by troops carried from the west
on transports. but also by forces that
were taken from GallipOh peninsula.
The Russian attacks on the Bess-
arabian front appear to be gaining
in strength daily. Conflicting reports
come from Vienna and Petrograd as
TO the result OF the fighting. but
Vienna speaks OF the Austrians re-
sisting under most difficult condi-
tons" n phrase which prepares the
London military experts for news
that the Teutons have been driven
from their positions.

OPPOSES FEDERAL
Pay FOR MILITIA
SeC'y Garrison Has Little
Faith in Guard as Part
of Defense Plan.
international News Service:


WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - The
states and not the nation should pay
the national guard for any service il
renders. in the opinion Of sec'y Of
War Garrison. Opening the fight
for the administration prepared
ness policy before the house military
affairs committee the war secretary
made it plain that he was not any
too favorably inclined toward max
ing the guard a serious factor in any
preparedness plan. IN "A very lengthy
statement the secretary re
viewed the arguments already made
in his annual report showing why he
believes the administration bigger
army plan should be enacted into
law.
Although many members of the
committee are on record as favor
ing federal pay for the militia. and
Chairman Hay, i'm his preliminary
draft of an army bill. has included
such a provision, Mr.. Garrison frank
ly stated that he had always felt
that any pay for home training
should come from the states them
selves.
Doesn't Favor Militia.
Neither does Mr.. Garrison place
the same faith in the organized
militia of the country as part of the
national defenses that committee
members and other members Of both
houses of congress do. Because Of
constitutional obstacles, Mr.. Gar
rison doubts the power Of congress
to enforce recruiting in the militia in
the several states.
Assuming that congress- has the

Mr.. Garrison said main reliance
must be placed upon a standing
army, augmented by a continental
army reserve of civilian volunteers

LONDON, Jan. BY a vote OF

down an amendment supporting a
measure TO make il compulsory for
single men of military age to attest
their willingness to enlist.
Delegates representing 2.121, 600
union workmen in the United King
dom voted against the amendment.
while delegates representing $4,000
union workers voted for it. The
amendment was introduced in con-
nection with a resolution condemn
ing CONSUMPTION. There are goo dele
gates present at the labor congress,
representing 400 unions with an ap-
proximate membership of 100000.
In spite of bitter opposition In the

clared today that its immediate pas

Ell that it would be on the statute
books by Feb. >.
Ireland is Excluded.
While Ireland was excluded from
the workings of the measure, the bill
will be opposed by the Irish nation
alists, under leadership of John Red
mond. This will weaken the position
of the government, which has work.
ed in coalition with the nationalist
in the past, and there will be further
loss Of strength through the antag-

The solemn warning Of Lord
Kitchener the war secretary. that

Sir John Simon. former secretary
Of state for home affairs. who fired
the opening gun in the fight against
CONSUMPTION in commons Wednesday,
will be one of the chief leaders
among the nti-conscriptionists.
Ensland's political situation just
now is dark and filled with POSSIBLE
tiles. one of the possibilities is a
general election within the next
fortnight with CONSUMPTION as the
sole issue. The political correspond
ent of the Daily News prophecies
that such an election would probably
sweep the conservatives into power
and that David Lloyd George, min
lister of munitions. would hold a
commanding position in the cabinet.
Others May Quit.
Although the cabinet outwardly
has the appearance OF unity, the
possibility of further designations is
far from past. Sir John Simon. whose
resignation was brought about by his
opposition TO cOnscription, openly
declares that there are other min
listers who still share his views The
belief is that he refers to Arthur
Henderson. president of the board
of agriculture; Reginald McKena,
chancellor of the excheqUer. and
Walter Runciman, president of the
board Of trade.
