Tho following ntatoniont was issued officially after n meeting of the cab inet last night: "Tho French mlnlstor delivered tho following note to Premier Voni 7.elos: " 'Hy order of my government, I have, tho honor to announce to your excellency the arrival at Salonlkl of tho first detachment of French troops and to declare at tho samo timo that Franco and Kngland, allied to Serbia, sond their troops to help tho latter, as woll as to maintain their communications with her; and that tho two powers count upon Greece, who already haB given them so many proofs of friendship, not to opposn measures taken In tho interests of Serbia, of whom nho also is tho ally.' "Premier Venizelos replied: 'Hy your letter of today you havo been so good as to inform mo of tho arrival at Salonlkl of tho first detachment of French troops, nnd of tho decision of France and Kngland to Rend their troops to help Serbia, their ally, adding that tho two powers count on Grceco not to opposo measures taken In tho interests of Serbia, whereof thn also is tho ally. " 'In answer to your letter, I havo tho honor to doclaro to your excel lency, being noutral in tho Kuroppan war, the roal government could not possibly nuthoilzo tho proceeding m question, for it constitutes a breach of arcuni'a neutrality, tho moro man ifest since it conies from two great belligerent powers. It Is therefpro the duty of tho royal government to protest against the passage of foreign troops across Greek territory. Tho circumstances that theso troops nro destined nololy to aid Serbia. Greece's ally, in no way modifies tho legal position of tho king's government; for even from a Halkanlo point of vlow, Groeco's neutrality could not bo af fected, hoforo tho actual casus fodem wos committed by tho danger now threatening Serbia, which caused tho dispatch of International troops to her help." Tho French and Hrltlsb offlcors who already havo been landed havo been received most cordially by tho local naval, military and civil author ities, and havo boon able to begin work Immediately on their arrival.

APPROVES BAR FRENCH ADJUST TRADE TAMPERING BY BRITISH NEXT America Will Take Action at Once to Settle Seizure of Cargoes hy Prize Court Discuss Lusitanla Case at Washington with Kaiser Aides Arabic Case Settled. WASHINGTON, Oct. 0. Seerotnrv Lansing indicated todav that tho set tlement of the Arabic ease had clear ed tho way for the dispatch of the nolo to Great Britain, covering the general subject of trudo negotiations and interference with American goods in neutral trade. Tho note has In en completed hud Is ready to be tor warded to Aiulnssador Page. It is a leiiRtbv document, covering the general situation. " It ia undorstoqd thnt tho note does not specifically cover tho problems of tho Chicago packers, who nro press ing (ho htnto department to mnko rep resentations iu behalf of products valued at many millions, held up and in part confiscated hy the British prize courts. This subject probably will be covered in a sepnrato com munication, although the courso (o be followed hns not been finally dotor mincd. On the Rcncrnl situation the Amer ican note, it is understood, contends that the burden of proof is upon tJio British government to show that goods itl neutral destination destroy ed or seized are intended for Qer mnny, and that tho assumption that all food products going to (lennnny are intended for German military uso i& not justified. Discussion of tho Lusitnnia case probably will bo resumed soon with Hio German embassy here. Secretnry Lansing would not say today whether tho Washington government placed tho coming Lusitnnin negotiation!) iu (he same category with tho detailrt of liability in tho Arabic case, still (o bo discussed hy the Gorman ambns sndor and the state department, nl though in German circles this wns felt to be (he ease. Until (he pending negotiations are completed it cannot bo definitely stated whether an answer to Presi dent Wilson's lust note on the Lusi tunia is to he e.iocted. In Gorman quarters the impression prevails that the concessions outlined in the Ger man ambassador's letter yerftcrdny woip intended to meet what this gov ernment lias held to bo the main is sue between tho (wo countries. It wns believed posaiblo that no formnl answer in the Liisitania case would bo framed by tho Berlin foreign of fice, as it id Known thnt tho Gorman ambassador has full instructions governing the question.
