said the American officer appeared to
protest against the positions Gen. Co.
mez's troops were taking. A few min
utes later Gomez rode off toward one
end Of the Mexican line and immedi-
ately after he got there the Mexicans
began to attack sweeping the Ameri-
can line with a machine gun. 1t was
not until then, according to stray
glers, that the American commanders
gave orders for both troops to dis
mount and return the fire. Gen. PERISH
ing said that before the Americans left
on the expedition both he and Maj.
Evans Of the 10th Cavalry cautioned
the commanding officer to be careful
not to provoke a fight.
Gen. Pershing had received no news of
the two squadrons of the 18th Cavalry
he sent out this morning to get in touch
with the troops that we're at Carrizal.
Staff officers here calculated that the par
ty should reach the remnants of the de-
tachment late tonight or tomorrow morn
ing.
Gen. Funston appeared impressed
with the sincerity of the story brought
by the stragglers. but said it would
not cause him to send any new in
structions to Gen. Pershing or to any
of the border commanders. The re-
port will he in Washington before
morning.

TEXT OF Note
FROM ENTENTE

London, June 22.-The text Of the
note delivered by the representatives Of
Great Britain, France and Russia which
under the protocol Of London assumed
protection over the Kingdom Of Greece
is in part as follows:
THE three guaranteeing powers do
not require Greece to abandon her neu-
trality They give striking proof Of
this by advancing primarily demand
for rehabilitation. They have, how
ever, certain complaints agaist the
Greek government, whose attitude is
not one of loyal neutrality"
The note then recapitulates certain
incidents which, it is said, have made
the guaranteeing powers uneasy. the
climax being the entry Of a Bulgarian
army into Greece and the occupation of
Fort Rupel.>
1t Is then stated that the action Of
Greece has not been observed since the
Chamber of Deputies as nationally con-
stituted, fails to reflect the true opin-
ion of the electors. Turning to the
police question the note refers to what
is termed the tyranny of the gendar-
merle and declares it is not only the
right. but the duty Of the guaranteeing
powers to protest against violation of
the liberties Of the people of Greece
for which the powers are responsible.
The powers ask for rehabilitation Of
the Greek army which will be a reality
and not pretense and for govern
nent in Greece which will be in a DO
sition to offer all necessary guarantees
for benevolent neutrality.
The note then deals with the dis
solution Of the present Chamber Of Dep
uties and the holding Of new elections
in the near future.
Finally. the powers demand dismis-
sal Of certain police officials whose at.
titude is said to have been inicate TO
preservation OF good order, owing to
their having been under hostile foreign
influence.
After presenting these demands. the
powers state that their policy toward
Greece is friendly and benevolent The
proposals made. however are said to be
essential to the maintenance Of friend
~ sentiments between the guaranteeing
powers and the Hellenic government.

Athens, Wednesday, July 21.-(Via
London, June 22)-Greece has accept
ed Internationally the demands made
by the entente powers. This decision
was communicated to the French lega-
ton by NJ. Zaimis. the former premier,
to whom the formation Of a new cab
met is reported to have been entrusted.
The ultimatum of the entente pow
ers was delivered to the Greek govern
ment at noon today Wednesday,.
NJ. Skouloudis refused to receive the
communication from the Entente pow
ers on the ground that no Greek cab
met existed. The action of the En-
tente powers came on one of the hot
test days of many years In Greece.
The people were unaware what had
occurred until well on towards eve
ming. when newspapers and handbills
distributed broadcast made known the
text of the demands.
Meanwhile King Constantine re-
turned hastily to Athens. All the
troops in the city were ordered under
arms
The people Of Athens remained calm,
and talk of noncompliance with the
demands Of the allies apparently awak-
ened no widespread spirit of resistance.
The demands presented by the en-
tente powers. according to the news
paper Nea Hemeda. were as follows

The foregoing version Of the nature
of the entente demands are said in dip
lomatic circles to be substantially ac-
curate.

Washington, June 22-Advices received
from Mexico allege that the German rep

government in their opposition to United
States troops remaining in that country.
The form of encouragement was said to

The reports further declare that Ger

with great consideration, their property
not being molested. Some Americans have
taken advantage of the favors accorded
German subjects by placing their proper

leaving Mexico.
