ATHENS, Oct. 26.
In view of the continuous Albanian attacks and the growing insecurity in Northern Epirus the Greek Government today ordered Greek troops to occupy the districts of Argyrocastro and Premeti. The official communiqué just issued declares this to be an entirely provisional measure to restore order and security in a country already exhausted by prolonged sanguinary conflicts, and Greece proposes to continue to adhere to the international arrangements regarding Epirus. It goes without saying that this reoccupation coincides entirely with public opinion, which has long been exercised over the sufferings of the Epirotes.
ASSENT OF THE POWERS.
[From The London Morning Post, Oct. 30, 1914.]
Following are the replies of the great powers (states Reuter's Agency) to the Greek note announcing the intention of Greece to reoccupy Epirus:
France declared that she saw no objection to the course proposed by M. Venizelos's note.
Russia intimated that she would gladly accept whatever decision in the matter was reached by Great Britain and France.
The British Government accepted M. Venizelos's note.
Germany and Austria-Hungary replied that they accepted the declaration of the Greek Government that the occupation would not be contrary to the decisions of the London Conference.
