The Daily Chronicle's Athens correspondent interviewed General Roques, who said the new soldiers of the Allied armies were proving themselves equal to seasoned veterans. There was no portion of the Allied fror.ts where the military condition.? wore not better than they were a year ago. Everywhere the Allies' supei'iority over the enemy, man for man, was clearly evident. We must have patience and faith in the Allied armies. Progress under present conditions is necessarily slow It is no longer possible to secure definite results by short actions. My mission to Greece is purely miilfcary. He was convinced that the Salonika army had done all that was possible. The Serbians were advancing definitely. The British forward movement on the Struma was a brilliant piece of work. He hoped that shortly there would be a serviceable contingent of Greek Nationalists. Already an entire regiment with Allies had won British jfraise for its scouting activeness.
