To make it so has been a tough and long job. Gen. Sarrail settled it all to day in one grand cleaning up that was full of exciting indications. Ever since the allies came to Sal onica spies have been here. The Ger man," Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian and Ottoman consulates have been open, as usual; the Salonica residents represented "by these consulates, have gone about their business; and to see German officers, clad in civilian clothes, dining at a table next to British or French officers has been no uncommon sight. Many German and Austrian strang ers also resided in the hotels. The allies had no control over their, com ing or igoing. Thjis situation was not so dangerous to the all forces so long as they were fighting in Serbia, but when the troops fell back into Greece and Salonica became head quarters for the field forces it was necessary at once to remove from Sal onica all enemy citizens and consular rcprensentatives. , ' Salonika, as a military precaution, had to ba made an all-ally city. How to do it was the que?t:on. The con sulswould not go; tflieir governments would not recall them; and so long as they remained their nationals would not depart. The beginning of the end came this morning when a flock of three -German aeroplanes soared over Salonica and dropped forty bombs on the sur rounding camps. At noon the visit was repeated. The warships in the harbor fired 6hrapnel but missed the fliers. A lonely Bulgarian shepherd, three miles out of town on a hillside with his flock of sheep, was hit by a German shell and he and five of his sheep were killed. While the second lot of German aeroplanes was in the air, Gen. Sar rail decided to get all enemy citizens out of the town as quickly as pos sible. It required eight automobiles. Two cars each went to the German, Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish con sulates and detachments of soldiers were placed at all the entrances. A rTench officer who entered the Ger man consulate was meet by Consul Gen. Walters with the remark: "You have no right to invade German Pre mises on Greek Soil." "The German invaded Greek soil with their aeroplanes this mornine. monsieur," said the Frenchman. The consulate was occumed bv French soldiers and "Walters was taken to t ench headauarters with all its staff. At the Bulgarian consulate, . he was stopped by a sentry. But l am the Bulgarian consul general," he said "and this is my con sulate." "Ah! In that case I will take in your card." Within a few moments the Bulgarian consul general receiv ed word from sentry that he would be welcomed within his own consulate. Entoring, he found a french officer sitting at his desk. , "What does monsieur desire?" asked the Frenchman. "I am the Bulgarian counsel gen eral," replied the official. "That is very unfortunate," said - l -rc: - i T 1 I I 1(117 VlilCCI, XUt ail! U11UCL V1UGL9 bU nlupo fhp Rulfmrian counsel ffeneml under arrest." The Bulgarian's pro test was formal. He . rode to the French headquarters in an automo bile. The Salonian crowds followed the operations of the military men with the greatest interest. There was something of a rush of the crowd to ward the Austrian consjilate, for word had gone abroad among the Salonica folk that the Austrians might put up a fight. A few French soldiers with rifles were about the place but the crowd say an officer go into the con sulate and shortly return with the consul general of Austro-Hungary, who climbed into an automobile and sped to French headquarter Word got around after this that the consul general of Turkey had a harem and that the French and British were going to raid it. This rumor perhaps accounted for the fact that the largest crowd of all stood about the Turkish consulate. It developed that there wns no harem there, the Ottoman con sul general being a bachelor who was reared in Paris. He came down the steps with a French officer, chatting gaily in French and took his auto ride to General Sarrail's headquar ters. , . All the dependants and assistants of the four consulates numbered fifty-two men and six women. They were all put on a "boat, bound, it is presumed at this writing, for Athens. General Sarrail then sent an auto mobile to the American consulate and begged that John B. Kehl, the Ameri can consul (all the other govern mental representatives in Salonica were consul generals and Kehl is the most 'poorly paid of them all) con fer with him as to taking over the enemy consulates. Within a few hours Kehl was on the job and in possession of most of the archives and all the money the military had seized in the consulates. He immedi ately began the task of jfiving pass ports to German, Bulgarian, Turkish and Austrian citizens to depart from Salonica. THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES. Bring La .Suffering .to .Many Grande Reader.
