AMBASSADORS TO ACT.
Council Votes to Send Message tc
Greece Protesting Outrage.

Dy the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 30.-The interaIlied
council Of ambassadors today decided
to send a telegram to the Greek
government on behalf Of the French.
English and Italian governments,
jointly protesting with the energy
that the gravity OF the circumstance
which the Italian mission of the COM
mission for delimitation of the AL
banian frontier has been the victim"
The telegram further invites the
Greek government to institute an i'm
mediate inyestfga tion into the circum-
stances surrounding the massacre.
Decision to send the telegram was
taken by the secretaries of the coun-
Gil at q meeting this morning in the
absence of the ambassadors from
Paris owing to the vacation season.
The ambassadors have been urgently

row. when Capt Limperani, general
secretary of the Albanian boundary
commission, will be heard.
League May Act.
It is expected in some quarters that
the action of the ambassadors coun-
ell may be followed by some move in
the league of nations now in session
at Geneva, as both Greece and Italy
are members of the league.
1t Is held by students of the league
here that the council has power to
take cognizance of the situation and
make immediate representations to
Italy in view of her ultimatum, even
though no appeal has been made by
Greece for league Intervention.
The drastic character of the ulti-
matum caused considerable comment
in diplomatic circles this morning and
the hope was expressed that Italy
would be satisfied to suspend her de-
mand for satisfaction until an in
Quiry could be made.
The Italian note was made public
too late for comment by the morning
newspapers. but the midday editions
expressed the opinion that the Rome
government was acting rather pre-
cipitately, even If it had just cause
for complaint against Greece. The
terms laid down by Italy are COM
pared In some quarters with the con-
ditions imposed by Austria upon Ser
bia In 1914.
Hope Is expressed that some good
result may come from the action of
the ambassadors council, the inter
national jurisdiction of which has
been generally recognized.
