bros are not confirmed from any Of

staff left Athens late Saturday night,
An Athens dispatch to The Times
says il is confirmed that the EhIeh'e
Powers have imposed restrictions on
Greek trade. The Allied fleets, It is
added, have already begun searching
all steamers flying the Greek nag IN
the Egean and the Mediterranean.
Havas dispatch from Athens says mat
the British Legation has issued lhe
following note: 49,, H.,
"Because of the attitude taken by
the Hellenic government ii regard 10
certain questions touching closely the
security and liberty of action TO when
the Allied troops have the right under
the conditions of their disembarkment
on Greek territory, the Allied Powers
have deemed it necessary TO take Ger
tain measures which will have the CT,
feet of suspendng the economic ana
commercial facilities which Greece mas
received from them heretofore.
Rumors Disturbed Allies.
at is not the intention of the Allied
Powers to constrain Greece 10 aoan-
don her neutrality, TO MAINTAIN whlch,
in their eyes, is the best guaranty OF
her interests The Allied governments
have been somewhat disturbed By GER
tain illusions TO eventual measures
which. if taken by the Hellenic gov
eminent. would appear TO them to be
contradictory 70 assurances they nave
received.
"hs soon as their doubts on that
subiect-due. no doubt, TO a misunder-
standing-have been dispelled, the pow
ers will be happy TO remove the Cd
stacles now opposed to the arrival OF

and Bulgarian armies from pursuing
and dispensing them U.l Greek territory.
Ask Pledge of Safety.
In the opinion of the Allied represen-
tatives, considering the foregone con-
illusions with which the western forces
disembarked OF Greek territory, they
must be assured of their safety and
freedom of action. VI. Cochin's and
lord Kitchener's convC stations with the
King and Premier ar un erstood 70
have been concerned with these points,
and it is hoped that the question Will
soor DO satisfactorily settle.
Public opinion IN Greece is still with

ingly on Saturday in the reception
given 10 Lord Kitchener. AS the Brit

Coming after the ovation given to
Denys Cochin, the French cabinet men,
