The Cretan Trouble.
RESIGNATION OF MINISTER OF
WAX
MR GLADSTONE'S OPINION,
(Press Association.)
Athens, March 5,
M. Smolentz, Minister for War, has resigned on the ground that the Cabinet refused to reinforce the Greek troops in Crete under the command of Colonel Vassos.
M. Mataxas succeeds him.
A hundred Liberal members of the British House of Commons wired to King George expressing their sense of the services of Greece towards Crete.
The Athens newspapers assume a war-like tone, opposing the submission of Greece to the Powers.
London, March 5
In a letter on the Cretan question, Mr Gladstone says that to expel the Greeks from Crete and retain the butchers of the Armenians as police, would be but to deepen the disgrace of the Powers.
