GREECE MAKES REPLY.

Will Not Abandon Cretans to Moslem Fanaticism The reply of Greece to the powers was finally drafted Monday morning and sent to the foreign legations. The reply, after acknowledging the receipt of the identical notes of the powers and recognizing the extreme gravity of possible results bound up in the situation, declares that Greece owes a duty to the people of Crete, and that she will not abandon them to Mussulman fanaticism. She offers to withdraw her fleet and place the troops on shore under the control of the combined powers of Europe.
