Constantinople. May 2s.-The withdraw
al OF Germany's objections TO the col

III Greece consented to abide by tho
terms agreed upon. objected to the In
demnity clause. being opposed TO the
principle OF indemnity being settled for
them. nd on the basis OF the present re-
sources OF Greece.
This attitude upon the part Of Germany
Is attributed to "A desire to rearrange the
Greek finances In a manner giving better
security to the German bondholders.
The adhesion OF Germany to the action

relieved the situation.
