The news from Macedonia is vague, but it seems ascer-

tained that the centre of disturbance is the Monastir district, which is on the Greek side, and that several bands of Greeks have entered Macedonia, some coming by sea and some crossing the frontier. One of the former which landed at Kavala issued a manifesto calling upon all Macedonian Greeks to rise and aid in counteracting Bulgarian machinations. Meantime the Greek Government appears to be doing its best to stop the raiding into Macedonia, though with little result. We have pointed out elsewhere how great is the anxiety felt by the statesmen of Earope lest the Macedonian troubles should spread and seriously modify the status quo. The immediate fear is lest the Bulgarians should think it necessary to move on their side "in order to counteract Greek machinations."
