Received November 13, 5.5 p.m. ATHENS, November 12/ As the result of the Government's''acquiescence in the Entente demands, public officials and officers are permitted to join the Provisional Government, provided'the officers first resign. The Entente Ministers have accepted the- condition. The German Note is not regarded seriously. It is considered as an attempt to gain time. \ BULGARS DEPORT GREEK CIVILIANS.'. ENTENTE' CHARGED WITH INDECISION. (Australian and Now .Zealand Cable Association and Router). Received November 14,1.20 a.m. , . ATHENS, November 13. During the evacuation of the left bank of the Struma the Bulgarians burned six villages and deported twelve thousand Greeks to the interior. The Athens correspondent of The Morning Post says the question concerning the 'imprisoned soldiers is becoming a scandal. The Entente's acceptance of the Government's'proviso relating to the resignation is a heavy blow to the Entente's prestige, and would only require a plain demand for instant release in order to force the Government to capitulate,. The Germanophiles regard the solution as their triumph. Little good came of the Entente Ministers' visit to the prison. Only three officers consented to resign.
