FOR MEDIATION.
Greece Formally Agrees to the
Proposition Of the Powers
GREEKS EAGER TO have PEACE.
She Sultan Moblllzlng Troops In Asia Minor
"A Suspicion That Turkey VIII Ignore
the Powers and Their Plan Of
Mediation.

ATHENS, May l2.-As was generally
expected, Greece yesterday formally
agreed to the proposition Of the pow
ers for mediation, and the Turko-Gre
clan war is undoubtedly at an end
Greece having accepted mediation, TIT
ambassadors Of the powers at Constan
Nnople have been instructed to ap
proach the Turkish government with
the view Of ascertaining upon what
condition Turkey will agree to declare
peace.
As soon as the reply Of Greece to the
note OF the powers offering mediation
was handed to the representatives Of
the powers, the latter telegraphed the
Greek decision 10 the representatives
OF the powers at Constantinople, with
the request that they obtain an ar
mistice with the view OF arranging for
permanent peace.
There is q sense OF relief in Athens
to-day at the prospect of an immediate
end OF the calamitous war. There Is
no excitement and no popular demon
stration Is anticipated. The govern.
ment has notified the Greek army OF
the mediation of the powers.
The Greek commissariat has col.
lapsed. The only rations now received
by the soldiers are bread and cheese.
Not even coffee isprocurable.
GREEKS EAGER FOR PEACE.
LONDON, May ls.-Up to the present
there Is no sign Of revolution, or oft
definite anti-dynastic movement at
Athens. The people appear to be re-
lieved ut the prospect Of mediation,
and will be only too glad to see peace
restored. The powers are using their
influence to persuade Turkey TO cease
hostilities though there are some
doubts as to whether they will sue
coed.
M. Rail-, In the course of an inter-
view at Athens yesterday afternoon,
intimated that the acquiescence OF
Greece in the conditions proposed by
the powers was due to the belief that
they would not allow Turkey to retain
an inch Of Greek territory, This APP
pears to be the general opinion of Eu.
ropean diplomats, who also consider
that Turkey should be satisfied with
moderate indemnity
TURKEYS LATEST MOVE.
LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Standard from Constantinople says.
1t is reported that orders have been
sent out for the mobilization Of the
fifth and sixth army corps reserves,
stationed at Bagdad and in Syria, and
for the immediate dispatch of 80 bat.
talions to Konieh, from which point
they will be taken to lsmeed In Asia
Minor. These preparations, which in.
volve an expense that Turkey is quite
unable to pay, cannot be required
against Greece and they excite anxiety,
us indicating that Turkey is preparing
either TO confront u more formidable
foe or to place herself In such strong
position that she will be able to ignore
the powersand theirplan Of mediation.
