SEEDS OF REVOLT

REVOLUTIONARY PROCLAMA-

TIONS ISSUED.

NATIONAL DEFENCE COMMITTEE

SET UP,

(Received September 2, 12,30 p.m.)

SALONIKA, Ist September. A Committee of National Defence has been formed at Salonika. It has considerable possibilities, although at present these possibilities are vague. The leaders are a colonel 'of artillery, a colonel of cavalry, aud a Venizelist Deputy. They havo distributed long proclamations addressed to the -Greek people and the army, pointing out the present state of affairs has lasted long enough. The surrender of the Greek forts to the Bidgars was a grievous misdeed on the part of the King and the Government. The proclamations add that the time has come for Greece to place herself on the side of the Entente. The Entente has always been Greece's friends.

The proclamations are frankly revolutionary, and urge the Greek soldiers not to pay any attention to orders,', from Athens, but to ally themselves with the Entente, and assist in driving the Bulgars off Greek soil.
