Tho following ntatoniont was issued

"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

dispatch of International troops to

Tho French and Hrltlsb offlcors

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

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

i& not justified.
Discussion of tho Lusitnnia case

Lansing would not say today whether
tho Washington government placed

bo discussed hy the Gorman ambns

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

quarters the impression prevails that
the concessions outlined in the Ger

woip intended to meet what this gov

sue between tho (wo countries. It
wns believed posaiblo that no formnl
