ritory by its forces. The movement

Navy Display Considered.
PARIS, October 27 P).-A naval
demonstration before Athens was a
possible League of Nations move had
the government of Premier Pangalos
declined to bow to the league coun-
ellis decision that it must cease all
hostilities and remove all Greek
forces from Bulgarian soil.
Although NJ. Carapanos, the Greek
Minister, told the council today that
both Greece and Bulgaria had reached
a direct accord, through the good
offices of Runania. to suspend
hostilities and retire behind their
frontiers, the Bulgarian representa-
tives declared they had no confrma-
ton of this report.
Bulgarians Bitter.
Indeed, NJ. A1orloff, speaking for
the Sofia government, informed the
council that direct entente with
Greece was utterly impossible be-
cause of Greece's persistent refusal
to listen to Bulgaria's repeated Of
fers to appoint d joint commission
to inquire into the border trouble.
NJ Morloff said the latest dispatch
from Sofia showed that up to yes
terday the Bulgarian losses were 4s
killed or wounded. OF these IS were
soldiers and % civilians, men and
women. There was the probability
of other unknown victims.
He demanded that, independently
of any penalties which the council
might apply to Greece for her grave
blow at international peace and viola
ton of her league obligations" COM
plete reparation should be accorded
Bulgaria for the demages to persons
and property, and all prisoners should
be Immediately released.
Says Accord Reached.
Greece's representative, NJ. Cara
panos, announced at the opening Of
today's meeting of the council that,
through the friendly mediation of
Rumania. a direct agreement has
been reached between Greece and Bull
garia for evacuation of their respec-
tive territories.
The conditions of the agreement, he
said, We're that Bulgarian and Greek
officers should proceed this afternoon
to the frontier to arrange for the re-
turn of the Greek border guards to
their original posts. The Greek
troops in Bulgaria would begin their
withdrawal Immediately and the Bull
garian forces would not advance in
a manner to hinder the Greeks until
the latter had crossed the frontier.
NJ. Caraponas explained that the
agreement was really in anticipation
of yesterdays action by the league
council and resulted from pleading by
the Rumanian government that both
countries give proof of their mutual
good intentions to prevent danger
arising from fresh incidents in con
nection with the activities Of the
roniitadjis, or irregular bands.
Demands Order Be Met
NJ. BRAND, president of the council
interviewed to remark that he was
glad to hear this news, but wished to
emphasize that the agreement as out
lined indicated certain reserves from
the decision taken by the council. He
insisted that both Greece and Bulga
ria conform exactly to the conditions
laid down by the council.
To this the Greek spokesman re-
piled that the agreement between
Greece and Bulgaria contained no con
ditions and argued that the accord
was in consonance with the councils
action.
M. BRAND again interrupted to say
this disclosure pleased the council
but that nevertheless it's information
was that guns still held the stage on
the frontier, and he asked the Greek
minister to give new assurances dur
ing the day that the councils condi.
tions would be accepted without re
serve.
