Greece is certainly the most daring little kingdom!

Far from being alarmed by the message sent her from the Powers, she has
replied that it is impossible for her to withdraw her troops from Crete.
She states that her object in sending them there was to restore peace, and
as serious troubles still exist in the island, she cannot comply with the
request of the Powers.

In the reply, she further states that she cannot consent to Home Rule for
Crete under the direction of Turkey, but is willing to leave it to the
Cretans themselves to decide under the rule of what monarch they wish to
be.
