the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks, not one of the European Powers
fired a shot to prevent it. All that was done was accomplished by talks
and conferences with the Ambassadors.

Now, when Greece tries to free her Christian brothers from the grasp of
the Turks, these same Powers train their guns on the Greeks, and lend the
Turks their aid to force the Christians back under the control of the
murdering Turks!

It is a monstrous situation, and one that makes every honest man hate the
diplomacy and politics of nations that make such things possible and
necessary.

When Greece sent her defiant answer to the Powers, they had a long
conference, and after much talk, decided to send their Ultimatum to
Greece.

An Ultimatum means a final condition, which, if refused, will break off
all attempts at settling matters peaceably.

The Ultimatum of the Powers was written in two separate letters.

The first requested Greece to withdraw her ships and soldiers within six
days.

This has been presented.

In case Greece refuses to withdraw, the second note will be given her.
This states that the Powers will immediately use force to make her do as
they desire. This of course means that war will be declared.
