Bulgars Harass Greeks.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 2, 1913:
Try to Press Them Back at Salonika — Servians and Greeks Confer.
    SALONIKA, June 1.— Although Greek headquarters have strictly enjoined all commanders to avoid engagements, the Bulgarians are trying to push back the Greek forces, and several encounters have ensued.
    The Greek Minister at Sofia has been ordered to enter a protest and to inform the Bulgarian Government that the Greek Government declines responsibility for the results of Bulgarian provocation.
    The Greek Minister at Belgrade, the Servian Minister at Athens, and several Servian officers have held a long, conference here with M. Venizelos, the Greek Premier.
    The Servians are concentrating a large force at Pirot, ten miles from the Bulgarian frontier and fifty miles from Sofia.

    SOFIA, June 1.— The Bulgarian and Servian Premiers met on the frontier to-night, and hopes are entertained that they will be able to reach a settlement on the questions in dispute between the two countries.

    LONDON, June 2.— The Daily Mail's Sofia correspondent says that a report has reached there that M. Venizelos, the Greek Premier, has handed his resignation to King Constantine, asserting that he does not desire responsibility for the warlike disposition of the troops with regard to Bulgaria.
