INDeNTIcAL NOTE TO- GREECE.
Brave Little Monarchy Told That She Can.
not Have Crete.

Athens, March 3.-The indentical note
presented Monday afternoon by the rep
resentatives OF the powers to the Greek
government says that the powers are
entirely agreed upon a course of action
to put an end to situation which II
was not within their power to prevent,
but which, If continued, would grave
ly compromise the peace of Europe. 1t
proceeds to announce that the annexa-
tion Of Crete is impossible and that
they decline to accept such a proposal.
The note confers instead an absolute
ly effective autonomy assurance to Crete
"a separate government under the
suZerainty Of the sultan.
These conditions, however, not being
realizable except by the withdrawal of the
Greek troops from the island and of the
Greek ships from Cretan waters. or
from points where the powers are in oc-
cupation. the powers confidently rely
upon the wisdom Of the Greek govern
ment to cease to oppose their peaceful
efforts for the welfare of Crete and the
preservation Of peace. Therefore Greece
is solemnly warned that unless the afore-
said withdrawal occurs within six days
the powers will not hesitate to take any
coercive steps necessary to enforce it.
and their decision is ffrevocab!e.
