Turkey’s Demand For the \Vith- drawal of Hostile Troops—King Humbert Talks Some More. Athens, April 6,—All the preparations for the celebration tomorrow of the anniversary of the declaration of Greek independence in 1812 have been com- pleted. An important public meeting will be held here to protest the action of the powers toward Greece and pledg- ing support to the Greek government in any action it may think fit to take in the premises. The decorations of the city are being completed, and at night Athens will be brightly illuminated. In this connection there has been a belief that the celebration of tomorrow would be followed bya declaration of war against Turkey. This feeling, howev- er, is not general. In Greece this is regarded as an unlucky day to enter upon anything of great importance, and for this more than for other reasons, political of military, it is hoped that the independence celebration will pass off without the frontier incidents which are likely to precipitate the struggle for which Greece has been preparing for the past two monthd. Then again, although this week is held to be a. fateful one for Greece, the orders of Prince Constantine, the crown prince and commander in chief of the Greek forces in Thessaly, are most strict, that anything in the shape of a demonstration in the direction of the Turkish frontier is not to be suffered. The soldiers and armed peasants, how- ever, are in no mood to be curbed, and nobody would be astonished to hear of an aggressive movement, at least upon the part of the Greek irregulars. Edhem Pasha Ready. The Turkish commander in chief, Ed- hem Pasha, is fully alive to the difficul- ty and dangers of the situation and has already strengthened the frontier out- posts, besides taking other. means to meet any contingency which may arise. in short. if an outbreak occurs, the Turks will be found fully prepared to meet it. Fifty thousand Turkish troops, at a few hours’ notice, can be sent across the Greek frontier; and, according to unbiased military experts, the Turkish flag might be flying over Larissa a few days later. The Greeks, while animated by fierce enthusiasm and desire for war, are not nearly so well disciplined as the 'Turkish troops, and the German officers assisting Edhem Pasha in the campaign preparations anticipate little difficulty in winning the first battles. It was stated today that the queen of Greece has decided to start immediately for Thessaly in order to superintend, with her daughter-in-law, the Crown Princess Sophia, the field nurses at? tached to the Greek ambulance corps. The next actual step anticipated in the eastern game is the proclamation by the admirals of the foreign fleets of the blockade of the gulf of Athens. This was to have occurred today, but up to this evening there are no signs of a dem— onstration upon the part of the war- ships of'the powers, and rumor has it that a hitch has occurred at the last mo- ment. This hitch may also have in— fluence in delaying an outbreak of hos- tilities, for nobody here seems to doubt 'that the blockade of the gulf of Athens would be followed, if not preceded, by a declaration of war against Turkey. It is held that when it becomes definitely known that the blockade is to be an actuality and not the empty threat it has turned out to be up to the present Greece has no choice but to declare war,‘ which, it is calculated, would check- mate the powers, making them counter— mand the blockade or openly side with Turkey _in a war against Greece. In this, it is understood, the governments of Great Britain, France and Italy at least would not be supported by the peo- ple of those countries, and further com- plications would ensue. ’ No Chance For Settlement. . As to the direct negotiations between Greece and Turkey, looking to a settle- ment of the Cretan diflicuw, they are not likely to- amount to much, as at least one power is opposed to such an understanding being arrived at, and the note just sent by the Turkish gov- ernment to the government of Greece, demanding the withdrawal of the Greek troops from the island of Crete and holding Greece responsible for the consequences of her refusal to do so, is in the nature of an ultimatum and clearly indicates that the direct'nego- tiations referred to, if they ever exist- ed. are not making any progress. The main question to be solved is, Where does Russia stand? According to one lot of political experts, the send- ing of the Turkish note, or ultimatum, to Greece, shows that Turkey has the support of Russia in this crisis. But another view of-the situation is that Russia, while pretending to be the friend of Turkey, is really only posing as such in order to plunge Turkey into a war which may lead to the dismem- berment of the Ottoman empire, Rus- sian occupation of Constantinople, the dream of the czars since Peter the Great, and the possible annexation of large slices of Asiatic Turkey to Rus- sia, with corresponding increase of the territory at the expense of Turkey and the powers of Europe. Be that as it may, the only reply that Greece can make to the Turkish note is to refuse to withdraw her troops from Crete. Then Turkey, and not Greece, might'be compelled to declare war. Thus, examining "the situation from either point of view, it is difficult to see how war can now be avoided. although (h? sit-r'bnge'st efforts are still befitg made in certain circles to prevent an outbreak of hostilities, or to delay them long enough to reduce Greece to a state of financial weakness which will make her succumb, agzinst he» wishes, to the will of the powers, which really wish to prevent a conflagration. ‘ Newspapcr M1) on Hand. Numbers of correspondents of Eng- lish ncwsrn‘jers have arrived here and at Salonika, and others are at Larissa or at Elasscna. These men are the tried aiil trusted war corresponden s whose advent on any scene'naturally means that an outbreak of war is re- garded as almost certain. The Eng- glish correspondents who landed at Salonika were proviced with letters from the Marquis or Salisbury’s secre- tary, but while they 1....e been accord- ed every facility they have not been al- lowed to inspect ...e 'I'uikish forcfica- tions. , - A dispatch from the representative of the Associated Press at Elasson‘a, Turkish headquarters, say the report that the Greeks intenceu to mount 20 cannon on an unoccupied point of the disputed territory or‘ Milesna, three miles distant from Elassona, led Ed- hem Pasha to order the Turkish offi- cers in that vicinity ‘to fire upon the ‘ Greeks at'the first sign of such an at- tempt. Nothing happened, but the in- :ident shows the inflammable condition of the frontier." Upon another occasion an explosion of dynamite, caused by a party of Greek engineers who were blasting rock to make a road, so excited the Turks that a Turkish officer sent a message warning the Greeks of the “extreme danger of such proceedings' possible to restrain the Turkish troops.” . . Later dispatches from the front say that Edhem Pasha has ordered all :he Turkish troops on the frontier to be under arms all day tomorrow—the an— niversary of the declaration of the in- dependence of Greece. The Turkish positions are so very strong that they have been pronounced to be impregnable, the Turks having ging guns up steep heights, etc. Opinion In London. London, April 6.—A prominent ofiicial of the British foreign office, whose name must be omitted, in an interview with a representative of the Associated Press, today, said: "I have not heard of any hitch in the powers’ arrangements. .They are fully determined to follow the course they have agreed upon. I thought, a fort- night ago, that the matter would blow over; but I must admit that the situa— tion is now so grave that.an explosion is possible at any moment“ It,is the Turkish position on the frontier is im- pregnable and that any attempt of the Greeks to butt against it will result in disaster to them. I believe this opinion is shared by members of the Greek cab— inet, but the king seems to enjoy the difficult position in which the Greeks’ action places the powers.” Hostilities Begin. Khania, Island of Crete, April 6.—The blockhouse of Butsunari was attacked from several directions by the insur- gents today, and the international troops replied with artillery fire. The fighting lasted four hours. The French com- mandant reports that the Greek troops took part in the action. Two European soldiers were wounded. Alarm In North Dakota. Fargo, N.
