Paris, Dec. 4.—The Figaro, in
spoclal article printed In its edition
here today, says the Entente Allies
think that Greece is taking far too
long to answer their recent de
mands, and consequently orders have
been given prohibiting the depar
ture from Allied ports of all ships
with cargoes consigned to Greece.

Athens, Greece. Dec. 4,—Public
opinion in this country appears to

London, Dec. 4.—The much-rum
ored Russian Invasion against the
Bulgarians has not materialized, ac
cording to belief prevailing here
this morning.
The potent fact that no Russian
official statement was Issued last
night, however, gives rise to hopes
In London that It Is being with
held. In order to chronicle this new
phaee of the Balkan campaign.
Reports reached here from Bucha
rest t>^jt three Bulgarian divisions
had erased Hungary, en route to
the Italian western front. If this
be true, it seems to indicate that
Bulgaria does not fear a Russian
Invasion.
The reports that snch a shift of
Bulgarian forces has taken place
are as vague as are the reports
that several Teutonic army corps
are being rushed eastward to face
the Russians.
Dispatches coming from several
sources assert that both the north
ern and Southern Serbian armies
ore today firmly established in Al
bania, while the Serb forces, who
evidently formed a part of the de
fenders of Monaster, have reached
the French camp at Gievgell.
An optimistic feeling over the
Near Eastern situation seems to he
growing here. There Is little to
Justify it, outwardly however, except
on the theory that the Russian at
tack on Rulgarla will quickly de
velop, while the Entente negotiations
with Greece seem to be progressing
favorably.
German sources report that
Greece has granted to the Allies
control of all railroads In Macedo
nia, together with certain Aegean
seaports.

, Douglas, Am., Dec. 4.—Present
indications point to a general bat
tle between the Carranza and Villa
forces in Sonora. It was believed
the battle front would extend for
twelve miles along the Nacozan
railroad. This railway is now be
ing closely guarded by Carranza
troops. They have been ordered U
prevent the Villa Commander, Gen.
Rodriguez from moving oastwarl
toward Chihuahua.
The Villa forces.are reported to
be advancing from the vicinity of
Hacienda and Nababi.
United States army men are of
the opinion that the Villa forces
are largest in numbers at present.
It Is reported they total between
four and five thousand men.
It is said, however, that the Villa
army has become badly disorganized
as a result of recent disastrous re
verses. Their supply of ammuni
tion i 9 critically short and it is not
believed they have any artillery to
speak of.
On the other hand, the Carranza
forces are said to hav© twelve pieces
of modern artillery, numerous ma
chine guns, plenty of ammunition,
and a good supply of both food and
water.
It is claimed also that the Car
ranza forces’ morale is high, as a
result of their continued successes.
