ATHENS, Feb. 13,-The warliSe ex-
element here increased with the de-
parture of troops for the frontier and
the equipping of additional war YES
sells for service in Cretan waters. No
body seems to doubt that clash at
arms will occur between Greece and
Turkey unless the powers intervene;
but it is believed here that Greece will
be given free hand in Crete, and
that if she succeeds in anneXing that
island her right to do so will not be
questioned by the rest of Europe,
The porte is understood to'have APP
pealed to the powers to restrain
Greece in this emergency, but nothing
further is known of the policy Turkey
is adopting, although it is reported
that large force of Turkish troops is
assembling at Salonika for embarka-
alton to Crete, that there is great
activity in military circles on the Turk
ish frontier, and that a portion of the
Turkish fleet is being prepared for
active service.
