PARIS, May $O.—A news despatch
trona Athens says that grave trouble
has broken out there following the.
news of the invasion of Macedonia
by the. Bulgarians.
An invasion of Greece, which it has
often been stated would so inflame
the Hellenic nation that the latter's
entry into the war would become in-
evitable, has taken place with the
consent of the Greek Government. Ia
giving this consent and explaining it
to the diplomats at Athens, King
Constantine's Government stated that
no other course was left open to
Greece after she had made similar
concessions to the Entente powers in
the bast, "Greece peeeesses no op-
tion to aet otherwise," a Greek
statesman is quoted as saying, ex-
plaining the consent to the Bulgar-
ian invasion.
The actual crossing of the frontier
occurred on May 25 (last Thursday)
near Demir-Hkssor, via Rupeli pass,
The invaders, about 25,000 strong,
occupied Dexair-Iilssar station and
',ridge, and also forts Rupeli and
Dragotina, Spatovo. It Is stated that
they are marehing towards Kavalla.

by Bulgaria's ally. Germany, with
the view to forestalling any possible
allied campaign in Macedonia and
thus depriving the Entente powers of
the initiative, repeating the perform-
ance at Verdun and on the Trentino,
The Daily News' Athens correspon-
dent, announcing the Bulgarian oc-
cupation of Rupeli, says: "No allied
troops are there. The Greek garrison
of the fort, which is part of the or-
ganised defences or Demir-Hissar,
fired 26 shots against the invaders.
"Considerable doubt existed at
Athens whether the advance was
made by the Germans or Bulgarians.
There was a desire to regard the in-
vasion as being undertaken by the
Germans, but I have the best author-
ity for saying that the invaders are
Bulgarians, Ied by German officers.
"The .latter explained that they
had definite instructions to occupy
the fort in order to protect the Bul-
ger left wing against an attack by
the Allies. The Greek garrison was
given two hours to evacuate, which
they did after receiving instructions
from Athens.
"The officers taking possession of
the fort, signed a document promis-
ing to return the fort to the Greeks
as soon as the military necessity of
holding it ceased. They also pro-
mised tona

e y Greece for any
damage done by the occupation.
"My information is that the Bul-
garians have been practically aban-
`led by the Austrians and Germans
it the Balkan war area, and were
consequently forced themselves to
take measures which they regard as
necessary against an advance by the
Allies."
T: c papers here declare that the
Bulgarian advance is a violation of
the arrangements concerning a neu-
tral zone.
A despatch from Athens says:
After a long conference attended by
Premier Skouloudis, the Minister of
War, and the members of the general
stats, the officials announced Sunday
that the Government had consented
to the occupation of Rupeli by a Ger-
man -Bulgarian force in consideration
of the concessions made to the En-

Government to maintain strict neu-
• SERBIAN ARMY IN FIELD
Eighty Thousand Men Have Been
Landed at Salonica.
PARIS, May 30.—After crossing
the Aegean Sea without loss the Ser-
bian army in full strength has now
been landed at Salonica, according
to a despatch received here Sunday.
Serbia's new army has been var-
iously estimated to number between
80,000 and 100,000 officers and men.
It was reorganized on the Island of
Corfu, which is approximately 700
miles distant by water from Salonica.
The Serbian army totalled about
300,000 men at the outbreak of the
war, but this force was greatly de-
pleted as a result of an epidemic of.
typhus and br the engagements
fought in an endeavor to check the
Austro -German and Bulgarian lava-
pic of Serbia and. Montenegro. The
survivors are reported in despatches
from Mediterranean points to have
included some of the best Serbian °re-
giments.

Verdun Last Hope of Germans.
PARIS, May 30.—Georges;Clemen
c -au, in an editorial headed "Errors
in Optics," arq..es in connection with
the German peace verbosityand the
violent attacks, on Verdun, in which
he says the cost of, life is out of pro-
portion to any possible result obtain-
able, that"it is easily seen that Ver-
dun is the enemy's last effort." He
continues:
"If a triumphal entry by some im=
possibility could be made in;'the bat-
tered remnants of Verdun; the Wolff

'final victory,' and Chancellor , von

Austrian Drive into e,ly Csnnot fro
Any Farther.
ROME, May 30.—'Che Austrian of-
fensive on the Italian front is ex-
clusively intended, military experts
here are Convinced, to forestall an
offensive movement by the Allies.
The Austrians seem fully convinced
Of the safety of the withdrawal of
troops from the Russian and Balkan
fronts, hence additional divisions
now on the Trentino battle -line were
withdrawn from Galicia, Albania,
Serbia, and Montenegro.
General Koevess, commander -In -
chief of the Austrian forces in Al-
bania, has been placed in command
of the artillery on the Trentina front,
it is learned. The Austrians are be-
lieved to feel certain that an invasion
of Lombardy and the occupation of
Venice will inevitably lead to peace,
and they are convinced, therefore,
that their offensive on the Trentino,
if successful, will be the decisive and
final phase of Austra-Italian hostili-
ties.
The Austrian expectations to in-
vade Italy have, however, already
practically failed, since, despite the
feet that they suoeeedd in driving
back the Italians more than five
miles, they are not advancing on the
south-east frontier of the Trentino,
which is an open outlet for an inva-
sion, between Monte Maggio and To-
nezza, but,. on the contrary, have
been eo"'pealed here to strengthen
the positions to which they may be
forced to retire by the Italian court-
ter-attacks.
oupter-attacks. These counter-attacks
were launched immediately after the
Austrians' initial success, and the
Indications are that the /tauens have
severely eheeked the Austrian ad-
vance at the weakest point.
A "orrespondeut at the front tele-
ereehs that the Austrian offensive in
the Trentino is now practically in
abeyance the wings being enable to
advance because of the Italian bar-
rier forts, which are being used most
efficiently in the Italian defence
plans,
"Hence an Austrian inion is no
longer imminent," he sears, adding
that be is informed that 63,000 Aus-
trians have been put out of the fight-
ing In the Trentino since May 15.
BRINGING HOME OFFICERS.
Many Now at Front Will Return to
Train *Units Here.
OTTAWA, May 30,—Announce-
ment of the bringing over from Eng-
land and the front of a large number
of Canadian officers to assist in the
training of the Canadian units nova
being organized was made by the
Minister of Militia Sunday night.
The services of the best available
wounded officers have already been
secured by General Hughes, who is a
firm believer in this plan.
Among those mentioned are Col-
onels Clegg, of Peterboro; Preston,
of Port Hope; D, D. Cameron, of Pic -
ton, Ont.; McPherson and Snider, of
Portage la Prairie; A. McDonald,
British Columbia; A. L. Young,
Brandon; C. G. Bennett, Kingston;
J. C. Hodson, Lloydminster, Sask.;
B. B. Morrill, of Sherbrooke; Major
A, N. Ashton, Brantford; Porter, To-
ronto; Deeds, the Maritime Pro-
vinces; Law, Royal Canadian Regi-
ment; Gough, Barrie; C. G, Arthur,
Calgary; Cunningham, Toronto; An-
drews, Winnipeg; R. S. Stockwell,
Montreal; Mernagan, Winnipeg; and
Cressy, Sudbury; Captain Weeks,
London; Major Stapleton, Lieut.
Chipman, of Montreal; Lieut. Stew-
art, of the 214th Battalion. While
these officers have not had much ex-
perience at the front, yet with the
assistance of men of such experience
of actual warfare as Major Acker-
man, of Picton; Ponton, of Belle-
ville; Captain McCuaig, of Montreal;
Captain R. T. M. Scott, of Ottawa,
and scores of others who may be
classed as experts, it is believed they
will be able to bring the new forces
into first-class shape. With these
men and the capable officers already
in Canada Gereral Hughes believes
the different ca' cps will be well look-
ed after. While a great deal of at-
tention will be paid to trench war-
fare, yet it is i.ot anticipated that
training this summer will be solely of
this nature, but will comprise in-
struction in attack and defence- as

- LONDON, May 30.—The Germans
have been more active than usual
against the British lines the past few
days, and their expenditure of am-
munition has been lavish, according
to Sir Douglas Haig's report from
headquarters in the field. The posi-

been exploded, the crater caused by
those of the enemy being occupied by
