When over a point to the north of the capital, they sighted a French air flotilla which was waiting for them and three of the German aeroplanes wheeled about and headed for the German lines.

Athens, Aug. 30.—Breaking off of diplomatic relations and possibly war between Greece and Turkey is now considered almost inevitable in politi cal circles here. The censor has per mitted it to become known that the Venizelos government is preparing sharp protests to Turkey, amounting virtually to an ultimatum, as the re sult of fresh persecutions of Greek residents of Asia Minor. Three hundred thousand Greek resi dents of Asia Minor have been com pelled by the Turkish authorities to go to the interior cities, it was reliably reported here. The Greek government had kept this news from the public, fearing that public sentiment would force Greece into war before the pres ent Balkan negotiations were conclud ed and before Greece had exhausted all efforts to bring about a peaceful settlement through diplomacy. Unconfirmed press dispatches re garding Turkish oitfrages on Greeks have inflamed the people of Athens. These reports charge all sorts of cruelties, including the mistreatment of "Greek women by the Turfs and the allegation that a number of young girls of Greek families in Asia Minor have been abducted.

They left the crest and ran down over the ridge, the Irishmen standing up and firing down upon them while at intervals British machine guns on the hills behind drowned the sound of the rifle fire whenever the gunners were able to get a clear view of the fleeing Turks. "The dead lie thick everywhere and the stench is appalling. Being unable to bury their dead, the Turks throw their bodies down the gully until they are stopped by the nature of the ground, while others thrown after them are stopped by the first.

P. boys there was only five in nintjrs played, and their opponents turned over to the naval militia boys off the Gopher, which was ly ing in the harbor Sunday.
