Athens, May 11.-It is stated that the
government has drafted a note to the
powers requesting mediation. The con-
ditions insisted upon by Germany, the
chief of which is that Greece shall give
her formal consent to the principle of
autonomy for Crete will be accepted by
the Greek government. The note of the
powers has not yet been presented, but
it has been drawn and is to the follow
ing effect: Upon formal declaration
by Greece that she will recall her troops
and agree to such an autonomous regime
for Crete as the powers in their wisdom
shall deem best and accept unreservedly
the counsels of the powers, they will
intervene in the interests of peace. The
note will probably be presented to-day
after the German minister has received
final instructions. 1t is understood
that Greece in her reply will assent to
all of these conditions.

been received with resignation by the
public. The Delyannis organs attack
the government bitterly for appealing

within the next few days unless the pow
ers intervene.
