THE BALKAN STATES
THE GREEK FORCE. 300,000 MEN GETTING READY. BALKAN OFFENSIVE PLANNED. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, September 29. Received September 30, 5.6 p.m. The Greek Foreign Office hat informed the Embassy here that the delay in the mobilisation of the Greek Army is due to the lack of equipment, which Britain, France, and the United States will furnish. Greece will supply 300,000 men. It is understood that the Allies plan an advance on Sofia to cut off Germany’s great supplies from Turkey, neutralise Bulgaria, and force Turkey to make a separate peace. The Allies have already equalised the Balkan situation, and the Greek troops will give enough superiority to overcome the enemy. An extensive offensive is probable late in the spring.
