conditions in Crete do not give a suf-

a more valid excuse can be found in
the refusal of Turkey TO concede to
Greece tho territory assigned to her
at the Berlin conference.
The official announcement of the
blockade Of Crete did not produce much
Of display of feeling either in the
boule or on the part of the public. The
sinking Of the Greek vessel by the Sc

with Indignation as crime committed
by a civilized state.
Great quantities Of provisions and
stores have been sent to Crete. 1t is
believed that they will easily run the

happens TO be rough. There is no ces-
