THE GRECO-BULGARIAN TREATY. A GRECIAN INTERPRETATION. Loudon, Oct. 24. The Observer’s Athens correspondent says that Greece bases her present attitude on the argument that Servia is unable to support Greece with 150,000 men as stipulated in the Greco-Serh Treaty in case of war with Bulgaria, and that the Entente .has furnished no equivalent to replace the Servians. Hence, swift and convincing action in the matter of the concentration of Allied troops in Macedonia is essential.
