HOSTvrJTIES IMPROBABLE,
is VIEW IN LIZ MON
LONDON, Aug. 30.-The British
government is following with close
interest the outcome of Italy's SEN
sational ultimatum to Greece de-
manding redress for the massacre
of the Italian boundary delimina-
ton mission. While the most seri-
Gus view is taken of the whole al
fair in government quarters it 1T
not believed it will lead to any
thing like open hostilitles.
British officials are represented
as of the opinion that Premier MUS
sOlini may have acted LOO preclpl'
lately in serving such sweeping and
humiliating terms on Greece with
out definite proof of official Greek
completely in the Sayings.
Belief is expressed that the crime
was the work oe individual Greeks
or Albanians who felt aggrleved at
the boundary commission for allo-
eating certain towns to their adver'
saries.
For the present the matter SO far
as the British are concerned, rests
with the inter-al]ied council of an
bassadors in Paris.
At the time of the tragedy the
British member of the ILLUMINATION
commission. Colorel Giles. and the
French member, M. Delegate, were
ngaged in duties in the interior of
Albania or it is feared they might
have met the same fate as their
italian colleagues.
Europe today is suddenly con-
fronted by the grave and imminent
danger of a new war" was the way
the London Star viewed the situa-
ton
The Daily News denounced Mus
solfni's action and declared that
mo self respecting state" could
submit to the italian demands.
