Moreover, it is considered doubtful whether in 7Ae event of another victory at the polls for the Venizelos party. it would be able to pu; Its policy into effect
 \ dispatch to the Exchange Tele- graph Company from Athens says , the followers of NJ Venizelos are ad- dressing a manifesto to the people, ! in which partisans of M. VenizeIos are asked to abstan from taking l part in the elections.

  Greece in no case would take meas ures hostile to the quadruple entente and that a conciliatory solution of the present differences would be reached
 The Enbros adds that those who had the opportunity of seeing Earl Kitchener after his visit tO the king and Premier Skouloudis, brought away the impression that the ques- tions now in suspense have lost much of their acute character"
 The same correspondent in a dis patch filed yesterday. confirms the report that the entente powers lave declared a commercial blockade Of Greece The announcement to this effect made in the form of a note issued by the British legation al Athens. is given as follows:
 Because of the attitude taken by the Hellenic government in regard to certain questions touching closely the security and liberty of the action to which the allied troops have under consideration of their disembarkment on Greek territory, the allied powers have deemed it necessary to take certain measure which will have the effect of suspending the economic and commercial facilities which Greece has received from them here tofore.
 -Tt is not the intention of the allied powers to constrain Greece to aban don her neutrality to maintain which, in their eyes, is the best guaranty of her interests. The allied governments have been somewhat disturbed by certain allusions to eventual meas ures which. if taken by the Hellenic government. would appear to them ro he contradictory to assurances they have received
 As soon as their doubts on that subject-due. no doubt to misun derstanding-have been dispelled, the powers will be happy to remove the obstacles now opposed to the ar rival Of merchandise in Greece and to accord any facilities which result Trnrn normal relations"
