parent that the national government
"has by inaction, acquieSced in the eX-
ercise of state authority over matters
exclusively within the national juris-

the Unsatisfactory condition" OF the
carriers, it is now the duty OF the

knowledged power over the whole
railroad situation to the exclusion OF
the states.

news of the protocol and Secretary

with mixed feelings. There is SEEM
ingly satisfaction that an arrangement
has been reached for the withdrawal

this is tempered by the feeling that

the protocol mentioning delay of 40
days for the withdrawal of the troops
if conditions permit of such action is
adversely commented on in some
quarters as many influential men had

CREEK MINISTRY
WILL NOT RESIST
ALLIES DEMANDS

London. Nov. 26.-The Greek minis
try. examining anew into the Entente
dc mand for Greek arms and ammuni-
ton. has decided not to insist on re-
sistance to the demand, according to
reports from Athens received in a wire
less despatch from Rome Saturday.
Admiral du Fournet's latest note fix
ing a brief period in which Greek arms
are to be surrendered. greatly excited
the people Of Athens. The premier in
formally explained. that in reply to the
governments refusal of his demand,
brushed aside the reasons for this re-
fusal and simply set December as the
date for the surrender of the artillery
required and December 10 as the date
for the surrender of the rifles.
Admiral du Fournet's note, diplomatic
representatives of the Entente Powers
say. reviews at length the arguments
of the Greek government justifying this
refusal to surrender arms, refers again
to Frances proposal to pay for the
arms or replace them after the war, de-
clares that the Entente Powers do not
make the demand because they are in
need of armament, but because they feel
that the war materials in Greece would
be better employed in defending Mace
donia for the liberty of which Hellenic
blood has SO often been spilled" than
stored in the arsenals.
AN official close to the King has as
sured The Associated Press that the
surrender of arms no longer depends
either on the sovereign or the govern
ment. He declared that the Kings best
efforts so far had proved fruitless with
the army. which is determined not to
surrender their names. despite the wish
