ADVANCE INTO BULGARIA

SEQUEL TO FRONTIER EAID

DEMANDS TO BE ENFORCED ULTIMATUM MAY FOLLOW LONDON, Oct. 21. Athens reports state that an incident occurred on the Graeco-Bulagrian frontier, Bulgarian irregulars attacking a Greek outpost at Billes, killing a sentry and a captain. Subsequently the Bulgars hoisted the white flag and explained that the firing was due to a misunderstanding. The Greek Government, however, despite Bulgarian expressions of regret and explanations, determined to throw full light on the incident. They ordered the Greek troops to advance into Bulgaria and occupy the town of Petritch, the headquarters of tho Mace-donian-Bulgarian Committee, with the object of enforcing the Greek demands for satisfaction for the violation of Greek territory and the punishment of those responsible, also compensation for relatives of tho killed. Tf the Greek demands are not promptly met an ultimatum will be addressed to Bulgaria. The Bulgarian Government proposes the formation of la mixed commission of Graeco-Bulgarian officers to investigate the incident on the spot.
