CRETE INSISTS UPON FLYING GREEK FLAG

May Force Powers to Land Troops on the Islands. Canea, Island of Crete, Aug. 17. —The provisional administrative committee, to which the administration of the island was intrusted when the Cretan cabinet resigned, Has taken the oath of allegiance to the king and kingdom of Greece. The action of the provisional administration committee in Crete in swearing allegiance to Greece apparently indicates that It Is not Its intention to meet the demands of the protecting powers to haul down the Greek flag and that therefore the powers again will be forced to land troops to insure the autonomy of the island.
