pondent says; Either the government is
playing deep game with its own people
or Greece is on the brink OF war. The
main point in the Greek note which will
be presented this week will be its calling
the attention Of the Powers to the fact that
they had not replied 10 the reservation
contained In the Greek note Of the 7th inst.
A correspondent at Constantinople says:
The Porte's reply 10 the note OF the Powers
will probably reflect more or less clearly
the unsatisfactory feeling produced by the
Greek note. The chief aim Of the Porte
In sacrificing the territory Is not merely to
avert war at present, but TO establish
permanent friendly relations with Athens,
and permanent tranquility In the Greek
provinces In Turkey, as the Greek note
olfeV, there Ia little prospect Of this being
realized. Some guarantee will be asked
for the future. as compensation for the
proposed sacrifice.
