"One thing is sure-no King of the
Hellenes and no Greek Premier will put
his signature TO treaty containing
among its clauses the abandonment OF
these islands. For the King it would
mean abdication; as to Premier Ven
izelos, he could never return home"
The Greeks are recalling the official
declaration made by the Italian
Premier, Signor Giolitti, concerning the
islands occupied by Italy during the
co-Italian War The declaration
was made in the Italian Chamber OF
Deputies on December 4 last. The
Premier said Italian occupation of the
islands in the .Egean Sea was merely a
military measure and had been so de-
clared 10 the powers. Italy, continued
the Premier. had asked for guarantees
for the protection of the inhabitants OF
the islands in case Of evacuation by
the Italians. If this evacuation took
place before peace was arranged be
tween Greece and Turkey, Italy, he
said, could not oppose occupation Of
the islands by Greece. If evacuation
took place after the conclusion OF peace.
Italy could fulfil whatever terms were
agreed upon in the treaty between Tur-
key and the Balkan allies.

from there TO Kavarna. on the Black

own case which the newspaper CON
siders never was very convincing.
The Times" adds that the fact that
negotiations between Rumania and
Bulgaria have been resumed in London
and that an attempt has been made in
Rumania to deny that any ultimatum
was issued may be regarded as favor
able sign.
Should however the threat be ex-
ecuted. The Times" continues, "it is
believed that the Bulgarians would
offer no resistance, but leave the whole
question to be settled by the powers
after the conclusion Of peace Such a
hieh-handd action would completely
ALLEVIATE the sympathy Of Europe for
Rumania."
Rumania's utimatum To Bulgaria. that

bucharest government as payment for
Runania's neutrality in the Balkan war.
