WANTS NO TERRITORY.

Turkish Commanders Do Mot Contemplate a March to Athens. London, cable: The outbreak of hostilities on the Greek frontier has caused but little sensation here. Tbe prominent officials and the Turkish embassy have received no information beyond the fact that war has been declared. The correspondent of the Associated Press understands that Turkey has no idea of territorial conquest, for she knows the powers would not sanction an advance to Athens. She probably will first attempt to capture Larissa and then march on Trikahala and Phanari. If these also are captured Turkey could compel Greece to comply with the demands of the powers. The Turkish fleet, however, is still in the Dardanelles, where it is likely to remain as long as the Greeks continue active. It is reported that the powers, instead of blockading Greek ports, will allow Col. Vassos and his army to return to Greece if he desires to do so.
