that the government Of Great Britain
regards the dispatch of the Greek flo
tilla to Crete as a very serious matter,
and as likely to involve the grayest
consequences. A dispatch to the Times
states that the departure of the Greek
torpedo flOtilla for the Island of Crete
was due to the announcement that
Turkish torpedo boats had left the
DardaEelles and that Turkish troops
had embarked at Salonica for Crete.
The dispatch concludes with the re-
mark: "It is possible that direct col

tive session and so remained until ad-
journment.
