NOTE TO UNITED STATES.

'an appeal FOR SUPPORT.

ALLIES' ASSAULTS ON SOVEREIGN RIGHTS.

(Received 11.35 a.m.)

Washington, December 3,

Tho Greek Government, has sent a Note to T the United States, protestingagainst the Allies actions. Tho Note points out that after ex'tended consideration, Greece had decided not to participate in the war, because it would be impossible to obtain the necessary guarantee hot to he doomed to inevitable destruction, it was untrue she had sympathy with either Group. Owing to her geographical situation,.Greece had been forced to'submit to tho occupation of her provinces, and tho seizure of the public services; also to the abandonment of her vessels. For a long, time Greece had been unable to import the necessaries for the Army and Navy. The Government had unanimously rejected, and would continue to reject, Admiral du Fournet's latest demand for war material, which amounted to serious assaults on her sovereign rights, and she feels that it is her duty to expose the situation to the United States. Greece is confident she will emerge from the crisis weakened, but intact. If the United States and other neutrals in a spirit of conciliation did not save Greece, a grave'situation would, arise, therefore she asked the United States to support her by disapproval of the Allies' action.

THE POSITION OBSCURE.

(Received 12.40 p.m.) Athens, December 3. The. position is obscure. The indications are that detachments were' landed as a measure of precaution with ..orders not to seize the war material, which the King in October promised would be surrendered to the Allies as compensation for that delivered to the .Bulgar-German; meanwhde the Greek troops suddenly assumed the aggressive, and the events as cabled followed.
