London. March Little else is talk
ed about in London, in Great Britain or
on the continent than the eastern crisis,
and the possibility of war between
Greece and Turkey. which may involve
the great powers OF Europe. The off,
cials of the foreign ofiice here were
busy throughout Saturday night and
all day Sunday In exchanging tele-
grams with Constantinople and other
capitals. The French newspapers this
morning are almost unanimous in an
ticipating that the Greek reply to the
identical notes OF the powers will not
be a formal refusal 10 abide by their
decision.
The semi official Fremdenbatt of
Vienna points out that this is by no
means certain. that IL Greece provokes
war with Turkey Servia and Bulgaria
will assist her. as they might find
means and concessions from the sui
tan to make a peaceful conquest by
Wrestling from Greece the ecclesiastical
provinces. The Fremdenblatt reiterates
that the powers will not capitulate to
Greece. no matter what pressure may
be brought to bear upon them and that
no one of them will withdraw from the
threatened coercion of Greece.
This view of the integrity of the con-
cert OF the powers is supported at Con-
stantinople. which announces that per-
sistent pressure is being exercised by
the ambassadors of the powers against
the Turkish government. The COM
| munique. addressed by the ambassa-
dors to the porte on Friday, was in the
| form OF a memorandum, supplementing
| the collective note of Tuesday last, and
pointing out that, as the principle Of
the proposed autonomy for Crete i'm
piled progressive reduction of the Turk
| ish forces on land. the Turkish troops
| IN the interior should therefore be con-
centrated in the towns. The reply OF
the Turkish government to this collec-
| tive note is expected TO be delivered to-
day, and a representative of the asso-
ciated press at Constantinople learns
that II will state. in substance, that the
porte, in taking cogniZance OF IL, de-
clares to the powers its resolve to
maintain the integrity of the Ottoman
empire and accepts in the principle or
the establishment OF an autonomous
administration for the island Of Crete,
but the porte reserves the right to dis
cuss the precise definition Of "auton-
omy."
