GREECE’S CHANCE.

-KM. YENEZELOS SKETCHES NEW : MAP OF ASIA MINOR. | ■ Th & Yenezeiist organs to-day publish , a second memorandum addressed by i M. Yenezelos to the King, dated .Tanu- 1 ary 17. 1915. M, Yenezelos in this states that he ~ believes the time has arrived to face i the problem of the necessary sacrifices ■ v in order to secure the co-operation of i ail the Balkan States, and he proposes fj although reluctantly, the cession of Kavalla to Bulgaria as soon as Greece ] is acquainted with the compensations resulting therefrom. M_ Yenezelos,. however, expresses _ the conviction that the sacrifice of Kavalla would be the means of doub-. ling the extent of the present Greek kingdom, and proceeds to sketch the g extent of territory which would be coded to Greece in Asia Minor, situated to the west of a line starting south , <■> Cape Finoka, t hence proceeding by 1 the mountains of Akdagii, Kistel Dagli, Kari Dagh,’ and Ararnas Dagh to Sul- ~ tan llagli; thence by Kessiv, Dagh, Tar- j man Dagh. Chesll Dagh, Du man Dagh. Olympus, and Mecicns, and terminat- j ing at Kas Dagh, and the Gulf of Ed remid. £ ■ These* territories exceed in area 125,nOO square kilometres, and are therefore as much as the present extent cf j Givern, while the portion of Macedonia to bo ceded by Greece comprises two , thousand square kilometres, without taking into account, the . thousand square kilometres whi.-h Greece would claim from Serbia, namely, the llelr;r.i Ghevgliol.v district: As regards population, while Greecg would be ced'd g thirty thousand inhabitants, she • v’d b s claiming tlmu.

in Asia Minor. M. Venezelcs consequently urges the abandonment of all hostilities, nasmuch as an occasion like the present may never recur.
