LONDON, Ist September. The Athens correspondent -of the "Daily Express" says the news of the occupation of -Corfu reached Athens liefore the announcement that the Italian ultimatum dispatched at noon had given Greece five'hours' grace from 5 o'clock. JNobody in Greece believed that Italy would commit a warlike act until Greece had definitely rejected the Italian demand. Martial law was declared to-
