Greek troops from Bulgarian soil
was marked by scenes of pilligc
and destruction.
According to these accounts the
Greeks took away food and cloth
ing, even furniture and household
utensils, in eome cases leaving be
hind them only the bare walls of
the homes they had looted.
At the foreign office It Is de
clared Bulgaria will Insist before
the league of nations council that
Greece make reparation not only
