is in a curious Dredicament- In order

The Athens correspondent of the

government is becoming seriously dis
cclterted with the Diplomatic situa-
ton and the opinion is growing that it
would be better to continue the strug-

the national honor.
Some Of the powers favor small in
demnity, a modification of the frontier
and a limitation OF the Greek fleet. But
this would never be accepted by
Greece. She possesses the right to
veto the decision Of the powers. In
their original note the powers called
upon her to abandon her interests TO

the word ''intrust" was substituted for

the history of the continuance of re-
lations between the porte and the vat

in French, Tell his holiness that it is

set. tried another letter last October.
This had a better reception but was
never answered and there has been 80
direct communication between the vat
