There is no indication of Bulgarian or Anglo-i<‘rencll strength, but one report says -that five Allied divisions of nearly 100.000 men have been landed thus far.

OTTAWA, Dec. 7.-- When Hon.
W. 'l`. White presents his budget at the next parliament the success of his war revenue measures, the complete fulfillment of his forecasts ns to revenue and trade will place his critics of last session in a position where silence will be their only logic- al argument. ln parliament and in thc Liberal press for a few months fol- lowing the war budget, the moat gloomy and dismal forecasts of ,fall- uro and incompetoncy were made. f'l`hrough :ill these blue rllill propheci- es ill the party press was tl note oi' glee 'in that the supposed failure of the revenue measures would injure the 'government and none expressed a feeling of regret that our participation in the conflict might be retarded or lnodified by lack of funds. There has been no failure; the precautions take en have proven ample and the critics wllo gleefully prophesied failure must find a newline of attack.
ANTICIPATIONS EXCEEDED.
Last session Mr. White estimated
that under the existing revenue measures the govcrnment's income would be for the following fiscal year $120,000,000. He proposed by special taxes and a. horizontal rise in the tariff to increase the revenue by $30,000,000, of which $10,000,000 would come from special war taxes and $20,000,000 from increased customs revenue. it is now evident that instead of falling to pro- duce the $150,000,000 revenue there will be over $160,00,000 and 'that a comfortable surplus instead of a de
out of the current revenue will be in , forest on our war debt and our pension list. At the same time there has been a big increase in current expenditure.

ATHENS, Dec. 7.-An agreement
for a conference of the Greek military authorities and military representa- tives of the Erltente Powers to ex- amine and report upon the necessities ol' the situation respecting allied de- mands upon Greece, has been reached and a preliminary step toward the lloldlng of the conference has been taken, Premier Skouloudis announced to-day; Tile Government of Greece has only two aims, to safeguard tho sovereignty oi' Greece and not aban- don neutrality llo matter what induce- ments or pressure are brought to bear on her. The situation is clearing. The Entente Powers are beginning to understand that while we are im- movable on -the two heads just stated, we are disposed in every other ro- spect to give material expression to. the feeling every Greek has towards Great Britaln,,France and Russia, dat- ing from Navarino. Tile points which caused the recent friction are now clearing. As far back as November 10th, I suggested the inappropriate- ness of non-military diplomatlsts seek- ing to arrange details of a situation that was essentially military and ol’ which the understood little. Th re

tlement could be reached. Respecting railroads the Greek Government has never been unaware that the person- nel was inadequate to handling the immense increase ill traffic due to the military uses to which the railivoys are now put, but M. Bollralli was un- willing to surrender control of his own property. As General Sarrall offers to assist ill the operation of thc railways, leaving the Greek control unquestioned, the Government is only too glad to accept. The question of hunting dowll Austro-German submar- ines ill Grcek territorial waters touches our sovereignty. We protest to the nentrals that we cannot salic- tlon a. violation of ollr territory. But what can we do? We have only a small navy and a vast coastline. We can only protest. What we wallt to avoid is associating Greece with an uncertain outcome of the 'war. Had we joined the Allies lust spring when we were urged to do so, to~day we would have to bear the bulk of the cost of the failure ol' the Gallipoli vell- ture. llall we joined them at the in- ception of the recent Austro-German Bulgarian attack on Serbia we would now he bearing a large part of the price in blood and devastation follow~

Believed to he Work of Spies.
ST. CATHERINES, Ont., Dec. 7.-
Between three and four hundred -thou- sand dollars worth oi' property was wiped out here this morning, when fire completely destroyed the Maple Leaf Milling Company flour mills. The cause of -the fire is a complete mYstel'.\'. but it evidently started in the slllfting room and spread so rup- ldiy that the mon working in the building had to make a hurried exit.
All the stables, the copper shops
and the whole mill buildings were completely' destroyed, only the bare walls remaining and the firemen had hard work to prevent the fire from sweeping St. Paul Street, the leading buslllcss thorougllfare upon which the mill frontcd. l\‘ortunately there was no wind, or nothing could have pre- vented a million dollar loss.
Tile soldiers quartered here and the
citizens worked with the regular fire brigade and Merriton and Thorold, nearby places, being appealed to, sent their firemen and apparatus. l-Iamil~ ton was ready to send a squad with an engine, when the fire was reported under control.
Tllorc are-lllnts of the fire being
