ton of this question is by the sword. 1t
is only week ago that Balfour assured
the Cmomons in the most solemn Ian
guage that a general European war was
inevitable if it attempted the partition
of the Turkish Empire.
The exact limits of the long-pendins
agreement of the powers were made
known tonight. 1t was decided TO send
two notes TO the Greek Government. The
.hrst which was delivered in Athens this
evening, requests Greece to withdraw
her troops and fleet from Crete within
six days No threats are made in this
communication. If, however, the man
date be disobeyed, a second note will be
dispatched notifying her OF the inten-
ton to employ coercion unless the de-
rnand is promptly complied with

selves that Greece viii refuse to yield TO
either request or threat. 1t is expected
further that in the event OF any pres

Macedonia and Thessaly. 1t is virtually
admitted that the powers are not pre-
