cided attitude, and that any attempt
to take the arms demanded by Admiral

ance. even IL King Constantine ordered
their surrender. In the event of resist

The first delivery of arms demanded
of the Greek government by Admiral
du Fournet, commander of the entente

that failure to comply with It before

Ing taken by the admiral.
Admiral du Fournet's latest note h1-
fRg q brief period in which Greek arms
are to be surrendered greatly excited

An official close to the king has as
sured the Associated Press that the
