GREECE AND THE ENTENTE.

THE SECOND NOTE. A MORE HOPEFUL TONE. *' 1 " ! j PARIS, November 29. It is semi-officially stated at Athens that Greece has replied to the Entente in friendly terms, which are expected to pave the way to the desired settlement. The negotiations continue. LONDON, November 29. The Rome correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" reports that the Greek Cabinet discussed the Alliessecond Note, and resolved to propose that military concessions should be examined by a Greek and Franco-British Commission. The KSng has approved of this. Meanwhile Greece is not sending troops to SaFonica. /.Mr Stevens, the "Daily Tele'graph's" Athens correspondent,/believes that a reply will be given by Greece to-morrow. He understands that Greece has asked for an explanation as to the intentions of the Allies in the Balkans. The general opinion is that full compliance will be given by Greece, but some consider that the compliance will be under protest. Though the crisis is the" absorbing topic, the Venizelos Party is standing aside. The German Press is endeavouring to induce the belief that Greek neutrality is a victory for the Central Powers. The "Frankfurter Zeitung" asserts that King Constantine listened to Lord Kitchener for an hour in silence, and then ironically remarked: "I might be regarded as the one person most called upon to safeguard Greece's interests, which I believe to be in neutrality and deliberation." -
