Anglo-Turkish friendship was accen- tuated by a tele- gram sent yesterday by the King to the President of Turkey on the occasion of the celebration of the foundation of the Turkish Republic, ex- pressing cordial greet- ings and heartfelt wishes for the pro-

Turkish nation. Reuter.

The Greek Navy though small, is efficient and its addition to the Royal Navy is welcomed in London.
Many of its officers were train- ed by the British naval mission which, until recently, was per- manently statoned in Greece.
They know every inch of the Greek archipelago, which is liter- ally, dotted with islands and con- tains many useful harbours,” Reuter.
