the construction of which its policy
will be obscure. There are no mis

will co-operate In any way with Bul

manner impeded the landing of allied
troops at Salonikl, and the fact that
these forces are on Greek soil la con

Greece ultimately must align itself
with the entente powers, with which
Fremler-elect Zalmis is in sympathy.
