PARIS. September s.-The inter
allied council of ambassadors, in its
note to Greece made public today,
lays down terms providing that satis-
faction be given for the assa assination
of the italian mission engaged in de-
limitation of the Greek-Albanian
frontier near Janina on August 2s.
The terms are very similar to those
in the italian ultimatum. part of
which was rejected by the Greek gov
ernment, leading to the Italian occu-
patton of the Island of Corfu.
The council holds that an outrage
committed under the circumstances
attending the slayirg of the Italians
directly involves the responsibility of
the state in the territory of which il
took place.
Taking into consideration the Greek
governments declaration OF its will
ing ness to accept and make all
reparation deemed equitable by the
ambassadors, in the event its responsi-
! bility were demonstrated, the coun-
ell ruled, that as the outrage was OF
an entirely political character and
with an official mission by the am
baSsadorS' council, such responsibility
/ is greatly involved, since the Greek
! government was bound to insure the
| safety OF the commissioners.
Greece is Warned.
| The ambassadors warn Greece that
she will be held responsible for the
safety of the commission of inquiry
which is proceeding to the scene of
the murders. and that she must give
it all facilities and assistance in it's
task, and defray its expenses. The
council has requested the Albanian
government. should the commissions
work necessitate its entering AL
| banian territory, to take similar
| measures of protection and assist
| ance.
| The note asks that the Greek de-
posit of 50,000,000 lire be made with
the Swiss National Bank without
