TO ARRANGE PEACE.
PARIS May 10.-A semi official COM
munication was published this after
noon saying that the impression pre-
walls that negotiations between Greece
and Turkey will not be attended by
great difficulties and will soon have
satisfactory issue. The Powers, it is
further stated. had already agreed
ba
of peace Germany's hesitation was
due to the fact that the Greek Govern
ment. in a circular to the representa-
tives at the courts of the Powers, did
not formally adhere to Cretan auto
nomy as demanded by the Powers.
Greece subsequently gave the necessary
assurances in this respect and the Ger
man Minister at Athens has been in
structed to actively support the efforts
of the Powers to conclude peace.
GREECE WILLING. YET SHY.
LONDON, May 1O.-The Earl of Kim
berly, Liberal leader of the House Of
Lords. asked to-day whether Greece
had announced her willingness to with
draw her troops from Crete and wheth-
er she had requested the Powers to
mediate with Turkey.
The Marquis of Salisbury replied that
if he answered in the negative it would
be strictly correct. yet such reply might
be misleading. The Greek Government
had not asked for mediation. but the
members of that Government had ex-
pressed a desire for mediation The
Greek Government, as a whole, did not
intend, to the best Of his belief, to ask
for mediation.
Regarding Crete the Premier said
that the Greek Government does not
conceive it to be consistent with it's
position to promise the immediate and
definite withdrawal of the Greek troops
from Crete, but he understood that the
Greek Government is preparing to say
it will withdraw its troops from Crete
in the not very far distant future
Continuing. the Marquis of Salisbury
said: I am sorry that l do not think
this assurance entirely satisfactory to
all the Powers. However. I have only
TO answer for ourselves. and our in
structions have been to join in any pro-
cedure for the purpose of entering upon
mediation which is acceptable to the
others. In our view the main point is
to arrest as far as possible the effusion
of blood. and we are not very particular
about the forms. regret exceedingly
that the Greek Government is more
particular about the forms than the cir
cumstances of the case justify"
