Aug. 14--Unless Greece complies with the deYand of Turkey and forces the people of Crete to haul down the Greek nag which they have holsted. the four protecting powers of Crete, Great Britain, Russia. Italy and Frahce. will perform this. act, using force if necessary. ! This was &he substance of joint note signed by the four mowers and presented to the Turkiah government today In oreder to carry out this policy and to be prepared to use force fl .neoesaGfy fo ptii&& tiiU Uf&tahs to haul down the objectionable nag. each of the four protecting powers decided today to send an additional warship to Canea, the capital of the island of Crete. At the same time they ex- pressed hope to the Turkish govern ment that in view of the steps that had been taken. that Turkey would not think 1t necessary to order her fleet to Cretan waters.
 The joint note of the powers to Turkey today Is the direct result of a communication from the Cretan gov ernment declaring that 1t was unable to force the hauling down of the Greek flag.
 < This action of the powers followed sharply upon Turkeys note to Greece yesterday demanding a formal de- claration respecting her intentions as to Crete, and thus creating a sitpation grave enough to drive the powers to action. s
