ATHENS, September 5. Mr J. M„ M. Jeffries, the'.Athens correspondent of the Daily Mail says: The announcement that the Allies are only acting against Germans and pro-Ger-mans has franiptilised the fears of tho Greek-people. I am more, fully convinced that Greece will shortly join the Allies. The Opposition party is at its last gasp. A complete mobilisation is doubtful, but probably a small force will lie organised and'gradually strengthened. Should Bulgaria separately make peace, the Greek military preparations will be continued against Turkey. It is reported from Macedonia- that the Sixth Division, and other Greek forces, have joined the freedom movement and' are concentrating against Seres and Kavalla.

The Bulgar offensive appears to be' collapsing. The Greek forces at Vodena and Larissa have decided to resist the Bulbars ia any case. A similar feeling, is irresistibly spreading throughout the whole country,
