of war-Fighting in Crete.
Athens, April 5.-Au the preparations
for the celebration tomorrow Of the an
niversary of the declaration Of Greek
independence in 1872 nave been COM
pleted. A public meeting will be held
here to protest against the action of the
powers toward Greece and pledge sup
port of the Greek government in any
premises. In this connection there has
been a belief that the celebration of to-
morrow would be followed by a decla-
ration Of war against Turkey. This
feeling, however, is not general. Tues
day in Greece is regarded as an IN
lucky day to enter upon anything of
great Importance and for this, more
han for other reasons, political or mil
itary, is based hope that the independ-
nee celebration will pass off without
frontier incidents likely to p~recipitate
the struggle for which Greece has been
preparing for the past two months.
Although this week is likely to be a
fateful one for Greece. the orders of
Prince Constantine. the crown prince
and commander-in-chief Of the Greek
forces in Thessaly, are most strict that
anything in the shape of a demonstra-
ton in the direction of the Turkish
frontier must be suppressed. The SOL
diers and armed peasants, however,
are in no mood to be curbed, and no.
body would be astonished to hear Of an
aggressive movement at least upon the
part of the Greek irregulars.
The Turkish commander-in-chief, Ed
hem Pasha, is fully alive to the diff
Guilty and dangers of the situation and
has already strengthened the frontier
%outpoSts, besides taking other means
to meet any contingency which may
arise. Fifty thousand Turks. with a
few hours notice, can be sent across the
Greek frontier and, according to un-
biased military experts, the Turkish
flag might be flying over Tarrissa a few
days later. The Greeks. while ami
mated by fierce enthusiasm and desire
for war. are not nearly so well dis
