IStuf Correspondence1

WASHINGTON, Feb Is. - Military
intelligence received here leaves nc
doubt in the minds of the Balkan dip
lomats that the Central Powers ere
planning a big drive on the Balkan
front. The information indicates that
the enemy powers have as their OBJ
jective Salorica, and uneasincss is
manifest on account of the lack Of
adequate Allied preparations for the
shock
The Greek and Serbian governments,
it is understood. fear that the Entente
governments are neglecting one CT Tie
major phases of the war in postponing
the assistance expected by Greece, par
ticularly in the mobilization OF her
army, and also in their hesitancy TO
adopt an offensive attitude in the Bal
kan theatre, with the double object Of
severing the communications between
the Tcutonic powers and Turkey and
of establishing physical contact with
Eumania for the relief Of that country.
100000 Greeks Ready
A Balkan diplomat said to-day:
There is no longer any doubt that
the enemy forces Will strike for S;a-
lonica, and intelligence received from
various parts of the Balkans reveals
that they are preparing for a drive. 1t
Is up to the Allies to give US the means
of facing the blow.
"Greece is not prepared to reply to
the expected attack, as she has neither
guns, ammunition nor other equipment
for her army. She is ready % pat
100000 soldiers in the field whenever
this assistance is received provid ID, of
course, it does not come too late.
every day there is increasing evi-
dence of the enthusiasm of the people
of Greece over the war and the Allies
ought morally as we'll AS materially
them to make the mistake of giving
German propaganda an opportunity OF
taking advantage of the present situa-
tion to convince the population that
the Allies arc not giving Greece the
help she requires.
Greece Lacks Supplies
"That such propaganda may be el-
fectve is proved by the success 1T
not be strange should it have success
in Greece, which has not even yet been
enabled to play full part in the war
on account of lack of war supplies.
Then, morally, too, the Allies can sus-
tain the Greek spirit by assuring the
country that the integrity of the terri
tories shall be maintained. 1t is a
matter of wonder to some that -uch
