LONDON, April 16-The following is the
posals of the powers:
''In view of the invitation of the pow
ersto accept new line of frontier, and in
view of the present difficulties ard future
dangers, Greece has asked herself whether
her acceptance will lead to a speedy and
peaceful solution of the question, as the past
leads US to doubt. This government needs
to know whether the new decisions
will be executed Immediately or
at least within brief interval, to be deter
mined upon before hand, and to be enlight-
ened as to the guarantees the powers will
give it on this point.
"Greece is desirous for peace and CRATE
ful towards Europe for her efforts to bring
about peaceful solution. She will, more
over, lose no time in entering into posses
sion of the ceded territory; but, decided as
she Is to proceed in the path of peace, she
cannot abandon in their present condition
her children left outside the new frontier,
aud she appeals on the subject to the sense
OF justice of the powers"
Semi-official advices from Vienna con-
arm the statement that the powers, after
momentary hesitation on account OF the
unsatisfactory form of the Greek reply,
have decided to accept 1t as conveying the
readiness of Greece to abide by the pro-
posed line, which, although not precisely
that conceded by the Porte, has been
accepted ty the latter also.

Telegraph Company says the Greek Govern
ment awaits the reply of the powers to the
following points contained in its answer to
the note Of the powers: whether the oc-
cupation of the new territory will be speed
lily and peacefully effected; whether Europe
will propose a new frontier, as Greece re-
CARDS the present proposals insufficient, an
what arrangement will be proposed for
Greeks excluded by the present proposition
from union with Greece

possession of the various localities and hand
them over to the Greek troops, who
would arrive half an hour later The

public mind, and the dangers the throne
might incur, he could not modify
the form, and that he would simply abide
By the note as sent until the Chamber of
