BRITISH GOVERNMENT
DETERMINED
(By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright.) (Australian and X.Z. Cable. Association.) (Received December 6th. 7.5 p.m.). LONDON. December 5. In the House of Lords. Lord Crcwo announced that miico Lord Robert Cecil's statement a telegram from the Athens Minister reported that a certain degree -of order had been re-estab-lished. It had been ascertained that irregular armed bands attacked the Entente troops, and the Yenizolists. These bands, including their officers, had been dismissed, and Greek rcguiais were now guarding Athens. The Briti.di Minister advised that Rritish people could go about the Piraeus in greater safety. Though it did not fear any immediate danger to British life and property, the Government, said Lord Crewe, did not regard the situation with less gravity and was unshaken in its determination to fix the responsibility for Friday's events and secure their non-recurrence. The whole question involved military and naval consideration.
