ATHENS, Jan. 12 (Dispatch to The London Morning Post.)--- It is asserted in well-inforemed circles that the Turks for the present have abandoned their advance against Egypt.

While he was profuse in assurances to the Greek Minister regarding the cessation of anti-Greek persecutions, no real amelioration of the situation is perceptible.

The Turks are again fortifying the Tchatalja lines.
