of Vice Admiral Du Fournet that Greece
surrender Is field batteries, Is batteries of
mountain artillery with 1000 shells for each,
10000 mannlicheis with 220 cartridges each,
140 machine. guns with ammunition and SO
motor vans" "Referring to Admiral Du
Fournet's contention that the cession Of war
material to the Bulgarians and Germans had
disturbed the equilibrium, the Government
replies that although it does not desire to
enter into the details of that operation, it
must point out that the Cabinet then in
power could not approve of resistance to
the Central Powers without abandoning
neutrality but duly protested. 1t also con-
lends that the guns already taken by TIE
Entente are modern, while those taken by
Bulgaria were obsolete. The reply con-
Guides that the surrender OF war material
for financial compensation or otherwise
would constitute a fragrant breach of
neutrality, and that public opinion would
not admit Of the forces of Greece being so
neutralized as to be unable to defend hex
vital interests if these were endangered"
