GREEK ARMY SENT
TOWARD BULGARIA
May Seize Frontier Towns in
Retaliation for Killing
of Citizen.
Br the Associated Press.

PARIS, August Greek troops
were on their way to the Graeco.
Bulgarian frontier today. having been
dispatched by the Greek government
following the recent assassina ton OF
NJ. Nicolaides, Greek citizen at
Stanimaka, Bulgaria, and allegations
by Greece of terroristic actions by
Bulgarians against Greeks along the
frontier.
Word has reached here from Athens
that the government has pointed out
the possibility of seizing Bulgarian
frontier towns in retaliation for the
killing of N. Nicolaides unless suitable
reparation Is made. While one report
from the Greek capital is that the
Bulgarian reception of the demand for
reparation has not been favorable, a
dispatch from Sofia, the Bulgarian
capital, says that in reply to the Greek
communication, Foreign Minister KALI.
off has expressed extreme regret
over the ssassination and promised
that all measures would be taken to
punish the offenders.
Ministers Urge Peace.
Officials Of the Greek and Bulgaria n
legations in Paris have deprecated talk
of serious tension between the two
countries. emphasiz that such from
tier disturbances as those which oc-
Cured lately were not unknown
among the Balkan countries.
They were aware of no other cause
for trouble between Greece and Bull
garia and made it plain that they
should be astonished If a conflict de-
veloped from the Nicolaides affair.
NJ L. i III
the League of Nations and Greek
Minister to Switzerland, is reported in
a dispatch from Geneva as saying
that if the reply TO the note sent
from Athens to Sofia Is not consid-
cred satisfactory by Greece. an ap-
peal would be taken to the League
of Nations.
Sees Property Plot.
He declared while he was not aware
of an ultimatum, the Greek govern
ment had explained to Bulgaria that
reinforcements would be sent to the
frontier in view of acts of terror
against Greeks. and requested the
Bulgarian government to take steps
to arrest and punish those RESPONSE
BILE for the numerous killings which
eliminated in the murder of NJ. Nico-
ladies.
Under A voluntary agreement for
the exchange of populations between
the two governments, NJ. Dendramis
explained, about 5000 Greek residents
in Bulgaria were scheduled to de-
part for their homeland by mid
October In Greece, he said, the re-
cent murders were looked upon as
designed to terrorize the Greeks into
leaving in haste, thus affording an
opportunity for the confiscation of
their property.
