BELGRADE, MAR. 5 (UP),—ACCORDING TO REPORTS CIRCU- LATING IN DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES, MR ANTHONY EDEN, WHILE IN ATHENS, PROPOSED THAT GREECE SHOULD CEDE THRACE TO TUR- KEY SO THAT BULGARIA WOULD HAVEe no common FRONTIER WITH GREECE, WHEREUPON ANY GERMAN ATTEMPT to reacH SALONIKA WOULD NECESSITATE VIOLATION of TURKEY TERRI- TORY.
Additionally the British Legation has urged members of the British colony in Thrace to evacuate their families as soon as possible.
Thrace was peopled in the time of Herodotus and Thucidides by a vast number of differ-
r
ent tribes. The earliest Greek poets, Orpheus, Linus, Musacus, and others are all represented as coming from Thrace. The Thracian Chersonçeus was probably colonised by the Greeks at an early period, but it did not contain any important Greek settlement till the migration of the first Militaides to the country during the reign of Pisistratus. After the Persians had been driven out of Europe by the Greeks, the Thraciane recovered their independence. Philip, the father of Alexander the Great, reduced the greater part of Thrace, and after the death of Alexander the country fell to the share of Lysimachus. It subsequently, formed part of the Macedonian Dominions.
