A memorial service shall be neid Tn the presence of the members of the Greek government. On the same day a detachment of the guard shall salute the Italian flag at the legation and military forces at Treveza shall render honors to the bodies of the victims while they are being trans- ferred to an Italian warship.

The fifth demands capital punishment for all seeks an indemnity of 50,0oo.000 Italian lire to be paid within five days from the presentation of the note.)
