ATHENS, July 1-R-Greek
troops stood guard with bayo-
nets tonight on the northern
frontier to back the governments
determination that, come what
may of Revisionist fever in the
Balkans, Greece will bIVOk no
attempts to cut off eastern Mace
donna and Thrace.
The Greek press declared this
territory, atop the Aegean sea
and across the Rhodope noun
tains from Bulgaria, an "unde'
tachable part of the fatherland."
The press played up the athle-
tic games being held in Thrace
as undermining the pure Greek"
character of these districts, par.
ticularly since the exchange of
populations with Bulgaria and
Turkey after the World war.
Special Importance was given
to ceremonies celebrating the
liberation of Thrace from the
Budgars after the World war.

Germans Gust
Embassies In
-Four Nations
Americans Are Included In
Order To Diplomats To
Get Out By July Is
|BULLITT LEAVES PARIS
Germans Apparently In
tend To Push Economic
Control In Seized Lands

WASHINGTON, July l LIZA
German order for American and
other diplomatic missions to get
out of four occupied countries by
July Is was interpreted in inform
ed quarters tonight as a further
step in the creation of a broader
Nazi economic system in Europe.
The official attitude of this gov
eminent toward the new order
applying to Belgium, the Neither.
lands, Norway and Luxembourg
was not disclosed. In the case of
Poland, a more sweeping order
applying to consular as well as
diplomatic missions was complied
with under protest.
Stats May Remain
Embassy and legation staffs,
with the exception of Ambassador
John Cudahy at Brussels and
Minister George A.. Gordon at the
Hague, apparently could remain in
their status as consular officials,
The Oslo legation is under
Charge D'affaires, Raymond E.
Cox. Ambassador Cudahy has
charge of Luxembourg.
Meanwhile, the state department
announced that William c. Bullitt,
American ambassador to France,
had left German occupied Paris
for the new temporary capital,
Clermont-Ferrand, to resume re-
lations with the French govern
ment which we're broken when the
former Reynaud ministry fled
Paris for Bordeaux.
It was understood that Bullitt
himself decided upon the move and
that it did not represent any new
government decision on future re-
lations with the French govern
ment.
Behind the German plan to clear
occupied territories of foreign di-
plomatic missions, it was said in
we'll informed quarters, was prob
ably a desire to push economic
reorganization and control without
close foreign scrutiny.
Follows Example
Cudahy in remaining at Brussels
had followed an example set by
Ambassador Brand Whitlock who
stayed on there under Germany &C.
cupation during the World war
until the United States entered the
conflict.
Germany now, however, was be-
lieved anxious to eliminate for
eign and especially American, in
fluences as it set about establish
ing a new continental order. The
Nazis also were believed irked at
the presence of diplomatic repre-
sentatives still accredited to COVER
ments now in exile.

At least eleven persons were kill

followed extensive British bombings
in Germany and the destruction OF a

Part of Navy Saved
The spectacular aerial counter
punches came as Britain learned that
at least part-an unknown part-of
the French fleet has been saved for
her by a doughty Gallo admiral, and
posted a keep cut sign for all the
world on French inundated territory
in the near east.

String Barbed Wire
While the British told all corners
that occupation of the French man
dates Syria and Lebanon would not
be allowed, sweating British tommies
completed a ring Of barbed wire en-
tanglements around the British
shore. There is a sentry on every
beach and every pier head, alert
for the Nazi invasion which England
is sure will come.
On the home front, the aerial war
fare went on without a let-up.
The air ministry announced that
storage tanks at Hamburg, Germany,
were bombed and left burning in
further raids by the Royal Air Force
last night and that British fighters
over France shot down five German
Messerchmitts and probably" de-
stroyed another seven.
The Germans, continuing wide
spread attacks on Britain, sent
bombers across the northeast coast
again this evening. The air ministry
said a number of incendiary bombs
were dropped and two raiders were
shot down. Six were killed and 16 in
jured in a.. northeast Scottish coast
town.

Reservists focked to mobiliza'

Restrictions were placed on the
