Fragments of Families Crowd nto Small Rooms While Others Pack Into Any Place That Has a Roof of Some Sort. Dunkirk, France, March 25.-Still vigorously pushing her relief work close to the battle lines in Flanders, Maxine Eliott reports finding the Bel gian refugees "stulied like sardines" in any Place that 'has a roof. "1 have still not been able to find any shelter for my ambulance within a radius of ten miles," she said to wn Associated!

The "barge" is the "Julia" which the American actress herself conduct- ed through the canals from Calais to the remote corners on West Flanders to reach the starving refugees be- tween the - fronts. "4 oan hardly describe to yon pitiful condition of these poor refu- gees," she conlinned. "Only" to-day we have clothed twelve families from top to toe, from ten to fourteen peo- ple in each fami,y. 1t is impossible for them to find shelter and they are stuffed like eardines--in the barns, even in the pigstys" and henhbuses; fact, in any place that has a vio "In a house close by eighty sol gronnd floor,' and adjoining frag filteen peo- diers sleep on the mn a tiny ments of several families, ple in all.

Greece And Serbia Are Declared To Be Suffering For Their Sins In Connection With the Balkan War Division. London, April icle's 'editorial on the Bulgar-Serb. frontier ipcident says : 'Though this opens up sbrious possibilities against which Serbia, now our Ally, must be-duly guarded, one can hardly be lieve in another Serbo-Bulgarian rup- ture. Byp treaty, th Greece and Roumania would be bound in that event to come into"the conflict on Serhia's side, and, therefore, German and Austrian statesmanship has a motive. for. not provoking it. The attitude of the. Greek Government, however, continues somewhat enig- matic and the political struggle now developing between Gounmaris,' the King's nofninee in. the premiership, and ex-Premier Venizelos, will have to be watched with attention. The Daily's Chronicle's diplomatic vorrespondent says : "Diplomatic quarters in London do not expect any serious developments from the Macedonian raid incident: quieting feature of the. affair, it is admitted, however, 'is the absence of any official dementi from Sofia. Bul- garian opinion here is inclined to look upon the whole thing as a mere frontier incident. There has been a series of these imcidents lately.

On the other hand, it may be pointed out--first, that this raid is no 'mere frontier aflair; second, that Bulgarian troops are said to have been engaged; third, hat Var- dar was crossed and the railway, that is Serbia's only tie with the outside world, occupied; 'and, fourth, {that the fighting seems to have been severe.

London; April 6.--The Daily News (editorial, discussing the Serbo-Bul- (garian affair, says : "It is no accident that this ipei- dent should take place simultaneous: ly with the rather bitter controversy with the present Greek premier, Gou- naris, and his predecessor, Venizelos, as to the proper policy for Greece to adopt towards Bulgaria. If Ser- bia has siened in taking by force Macedonian territory, unquestionably Bulgarian in character, the Greeks have also committed the same sin. They are both suffering for it now. Serbia, instead of having the help of a group of Balkan Allies' in r struggle with Austria, finds herself alone, 'and in the hour of most wr- gent need is in danger of being at- tacked in ,the rear. (reece is pay- ing for taking a few hundred square miles more than her due by being check-mated in "far more ambitious schemes of expansion. The Allies, who perwitted this unjust division of Macedonia, are also learning that political offenses sometimes avenge themselves. The paper proceeds to urge that Bulgarian claims be satisfied. Hither. to. it says, the diplomacy of the Al- lies towards the question seems to Have lacked firmness and clearness, but the blow now struck at the Salonica Railway by the Bulgarian irregulars ought to bring them to a decision.
