A proof of bow absolutely essential it had become to
refer the quarrel between Servia and Bulgaria to arbitration is to be found in the facts recorded in a telegram, dated Salonica, Wednesday, sent by its special correspondent to Friday's Daily Telegraph. It describes how on Tuesday, "at a point where the Greek and Servian lines join, the Bulgarians attempted to rush the Servian positions. For twenty minutes the fighting was of a most desperate nature, but the fury of the Bulgarian attack gradually spent itself in the face of the stubborn resistance offered." On Wednesday the engagement ecommenced, but, we are told, with less fierceness. The
Greeks do not appear to have taken any part in this fighting, but it is certain that if it had continued they would have been involved. If Greece cannot come to terms with Bulgaria, Russia, when she has settled the Servo-Bulgarian dispute, must turn her attention to the Salonica imbroglio. She clearly cannot leave her beneficent work half-finished.
