sALoNIoA. Oct 20.--Troop movements
for the occupat ion OF territories in west
ern Thrace, which are to be evacuated
by the Bulgarians in accordance with
the terms of the Allies, were begun to-
day. An official report from Greek Gen
eral headquarters says:
Units of the Ninth Greek Division
were set in motion to-day with a view
10 the occupation Of the district OF
xanthi (Turkish Eskije), seventy miles
west northwest of Dedeagatch, in west
ern Thrace. All western Thrace. which
will be evacuated by the Bulgarian
troops according to the treaty of peace,

The draft treaty, as yet unsigned by
the Bulgarian and allied delegation, pro-
Vidsd Tor the cession to the Allies for
future disposition of western Thrace,
this solution having been adopted be-
cause It had not been possible to come
TO an agreement in the Peace Conference
as to the extent of the cessions to Greece
and the exact nature Of Bulgaria's eco
nomic access-to the Egean. The treaty
stipulated that whatever solution is
adopted with regard 10 western Thrace
an economic outlet to the Fgean will
be guaranteed to Bulgaria, the Powers
having the right TO return all or part
of the territory to Bulgaria. transfer
part to Greece, incorporate the re-
mainder with eastern Thrace In an in

FRANCE PASSES LAW
TO PROTECT SILVER
Spectators Corner Coins for
Exchange Trading.


PARIS, Oct. 20.-To preserve the specie
circulation from raids by individuals
seeking to profit by the difference be-
tween the oullion value of coins and
the exchange value of the general cir
culation. the Journal OGictet will pub
fish tomorrow a law penalising the
melting, recoinage, or withdrawal from
circulation Of the national money.
The disappearance Of silver money
from circulation has resulted in such a
shortage of small changetha many res
taurants In Paris posted notices to-day
mat customers must make their own
change or accept postage stamps in
place of silver.
The disappearance Of silver is vari-
ously explained. A prominent banker
SAID to-day that the principal cause was
the fact that the metal in silver coins is
worth more than the face value of the
coin, making 1t profitable for people
using silver in the arts ana industries
TO melt coin instead of buying silver In
bars. Another explanation is that i'm
porters find it to their advantage to pay
for purchases in countries like Switzer-
land In silver. which commands a pre-
| MUM over paper money.
y third explanation Is the tendency of
peasants to accumulate silver, as for
merly they did with gold when gold was
In circulation. The present state of cir
cuiatlon is aggravated by a tendency OF
small shopkeepers who sell goods In
small quantities to hoard small change
| in the fear OF entirely running out OF It.
Still another theory Is that the enor-
| nous increase in admissions to the race
! courses, which are paid largely In silver
/ coin, has resulted in the concentration OF
! immense sums of silver in the hands OF
few persons. A majority of the au.
! thorities however, are OF the opinion
! that speculation and the use of sill
yer money for industrial purposes are
| the principal causes of the shortage

question came under that category and
the maximum profit had been included
