The minister of labor and commerce

cause Of the enormous expenditures

Creece's Version of Crisis
As Ciuen IN Note to League

cation in Athens. addressed to the
Greek government a note In which
IL threw the moral responsibility and
implicit material responsibility for
the crime on the Greek governm I
and demanded such measures OF sat-
isfaCtiou and reparation as in sev
Gral respects were Incompatible with
and with the honor Of the nation.
The Greek government replied by
note in which IL refuted the ac-
cusation contained in the Italian note
and stated that II was quite unable
to meet the demands the note con-
tanned. Animated, however, by a
keen desire to close as soon as pos
sible in the general interest an Incl
dent that might seriously affect the
good relations between the two coun-
rites. the Greek government offered
to give due satisfac ction and repara-
tions which were enumerated In the
Greek reply.
This step. which will be recognized
to be extremely conciliatory. Greece
made the maximum sacrifices COM
patible with the honor and sover-
eighty of Greece. In forwarding its
reply 10 the Italian legation in
Athens. the Greek COVE rnment in
formed the latter that II had decided
to place the dispute before the coun-
ell of the league. with "A view to ar
irving at friendly and equitable
settlement.
In acquainttng you with these
iacts. L have the honor. by order of
the Greek government to beg you TO

o. s. OFFICIALS HOPEFUL.

Belief held in Washington from
the first that solution OF the diff
culties between Italy and Greece
would be reached by peaceful means
was even stronger yesterday as a
result OF the reports received from
European capitals. Official advices,
It was said. were similar to those
received by the press, anu were con-
sidered hopeful.
Although IL was admitted that the
situation holds potential dangers.
the view generally expressed in
diplomatic circles was that an ad-
justment was in prospect, either
through the league of nations or the
good offices of some power such as
Great Britain. Even IL some further
military moves were made, It was
said that the trouble would in all
probability remain localized.
During the day the State Depart
ment received long dispatches from
Rome and Athens. which were said
TO contain nothing not previously
published In the press. Among the
inquiries received at the department
was one from the near east relief
of New York, which asked for the
latest advices concerning conditions
In the affected areas.

Formal Complaint Filed With
State Department by
Envoy to U. S.

The Greek legation announced last

In statement the legation de-
clared the course of the Italian gov

II is not only an infringement Of
the territorial rights Of Greece, but
IL an open defiance Of the league of

Greece had already appealed. the

Attention is called to the fact that
under the treaty of 1863, By which
the 1onian Islands were ceded to
Greece. it was agreed that the Island
of Corfu should not he fortified. and

SOLDIERS CONTROL
IN TULSA COUNTY
Civil Authorities Receiving
Orders From Them Under
Oklahoma Martial Law.

TULSA, Okla, September MAR
tial law in Tulsa county became a
stern and uncompromising reality at
noon today. when Gov. Walton's new
proclamation governing military rule
took effect. Khaki-clad soldiers
were in charge of the police depart
ment and the county sheriff's office
this afternoon and were giving orders
TO civil authorities
With the coming of night the al
ready drab situation took on a more
stern aspect. Darkness had barely
1allen when Army trucks sped over
the city to drop small detachments
OF armed guardsmen at strategic
points. Guards were posted at all
gateways to the citv and began stop
ping all traffic. Only those able to
explain their errands were allowed
to pass.
A score OF military cars loaded with
soldiers set out at nightfall on n
patrol OF both business and residence
sections. All persons on the streets
after 1880 o'clock tonight were stop
ped, but those whose work required
passage on the street were allowed
TO proceed.
Regulations Issued.
Regulations governing the county
were issued tonight by Adjt. Gen.
B. H. Markham. The order prohibits
the sale of arms or ammunition; for
bids all assemblages that may tend
toward disorder; allows all places of
business to remain open during the
usual hours and calls on all law
abiding citizens to cooperate in the
military effort to bring about "the
restoration of law and order"
The adjutant general further de-
Clarpd that civil anyhnrifiaS ha
failed to bring foggers to justice
and apparently. have been in SYM
pathy with their activities; that the
civil authorities have failed and
refused to cooperate with the mill
tary since it's investigation was
started nearly three weeks ago. and
that certain elements" of the city
of Tulsa have opposed the investiga-
ton and hindered the military au-
thorities and by so doing have been
parties to a general condition of law
lessness."
An attempt was made late Friday
night TO kidnap and whip a woman
resident of Tulsa. 1t was reported
today. Her identity is not known.
