Athens, July 3o.-(By the A. PA note sent by the Greek government to the allies respecting the intentions of Greece in. Asia-Minor. emphasizes the view that the occupation of Cohstanti- nople is the only means of bringing about peace and says Greece has made arrangements with that purpose in view.
 The note begs the allies to issue the necess..-y- orders to the army of Briga- dier General Sir Charles Harrington. com mander of the allied forces in Constanti- nople. and says it is confident difficulties will not be imposed in the way of Greece. The note adds that by the neu- tralization of Constantinople the allies are protecting, instead of coercing Tur- key and thus depriving Greece of means of imposing peace.
 The Turkish atrocities. the note conu- tinues, make it vital for Greece to adopt more energetic measure against the Turks, but the Greek government is will ing to discuss the matter with the allies.
 General Harington's declaration that he will oppose by force any move toward Constantinople. caused deep discourage ment and disappointment in Greece as newspapers had been leading the people to believe Greek occupation of Constanti- nople would not be resisted by the al- lies.
 After three-hour session of the cab inet Saturday. the government handed a supplementary note to the allied diplo- mates. The contents have not been dis closed.
 An announcement that the Greek gov ernment is prepared to extend the war against the Turks beyond the already extensive borders, caused intense ex- citement on the Bourse and further az gravation of Greece's financial and com mercial crisis. The drachma fell today to nearly fifty to the dollar.
