December 30, 5.5 p.m.) London, December 29. The "Daily Mail's" Athens correspondent states that the pro-German clement in Greece is weakening. Most of the people would: change their faith to-morrow if they were convinced of our. determination to safeguard the interest of our friends, and turn to vital account the Entente superiority in men, munitions, and money. An immediate revulsion of feeling would follow on clear evidence being given that we have ceased in coquetting with Bulgaria. There is a deep-rooted opinion that despite the incalculable assistance Bulgaria has rendered Germany we are still ready to support her aspirations at the expense of Greece and Serbia.
