This announcement of an act ual existence of a state of war on the frortier was at first misuTd rstood, re- poi's that :he council had declared war upon Greece being widely circulated It was also reported that the council of ministers had decided to recall Assim Bey, the Turkish minister al Athens, and give passports fo Prince Mourocar- d,ato, the Greek minfaer at Constantin- ople. These reports of the severance of all diplomatic relations between Turkey and Greece have bsen denied
 Tine, sGitua ton is summed up in de- tailed circular sent Lhis evening to the Turkish representa- tives abroad. This circular recalls the weeks invasion of Turkish territory and staItss that the newest incursion was panticipa ted in by the Greek troops, thereby establishing war. The circular expresses hope that the powers, in spirit of justice, will agree that the entire responsibility for the war falls on Greece. Turkey has no idea of conquest, the circular adds, and as a fresh proof of pacific sentiments ihe sublime porte offers to retire the Turkish troops on the frontier if Greece will reitire her forces from the frontier and Crete.

Every spring | buy about pound
of tar, which keep in bottle tightly
